TAC (Total Allowable Catch) was effective.
The term TAC was mentioned by the union president in the program. This was introduced early on in advanced fishing countries such as Norway, and contributed to an increase in catches. It has been pointed out that the delayed introduction of TAC was the cause of the decline of Japan's fishery resources.
The fact that bluefin tuna catches have been plentiful, despite concerns that the resource stocks are in danger for many years, is a testament to the effectiveness of TAC. Given this success story, I think TAC should also be introduced in the Seto Inland Sea.
What is the TAC?
The "Total Allowable Catch (TAC)" system is a system in which the amount of fish that can be caught for each species of fish is scientifically measured and an upper limit is set based on that amount. The purpose of this system is to prevent overfishing, conserve fishery resources by maintaining and restoring resources, and ultimately protect the fishing industry.
