Research Summary Smart fisheries industry is defined as a fisheries industry that uses ICT and IoT for both growth industry and fishery resource management. I have been conducting research on the use of smart fisheries to solve problems in fisheries sites. My research style has been to identify needs and issues at fishery sites (Plan), conduct research and technology development based on on-site needs (Do), and after verifying research results (Check), continue research to solve newly arising issues (Act). In addition, in order to implement the research results in society, it is important to put them on a business basis not only study, and we have conducted our research with an awareness of demonstrating the economic effects that can serve as the basis for such implementation.
 In the future, we will conduct research on the smart fisheries industry with the aim of optimizing the fisheries industry system.

Research on smart fisheries as a growth industry
(1) Understanding the needs of fishermen: We will conduct a questionnaire survey to understand the needs of fishermen.
(2) Development of technology to meet fishermen's needs: To date, we have developed a system for providing marine charts and other information. We will continue to actively develop technologies needed by fishermen through joint research and other means.
(3) Economic effects of research results: We will strive to understand the economic effects of research results and projects.

2. Research on resource assessment and management of smart fisheries
(1) Elucidation of the relationship between long-term fluctuation characteristics of coastal resources and oceanographic changes: If we can identify the oceanographic environmental changes that affect coastal resources, we will be able to predict trends in coastal resources by monitoring oceanographic environmental changes. Based on our previous research, we will investigate the relationship between changes in coastal resources and changes in oceanographic conditions in Japan and around the world.
(2) Development of methods to monitor resources using ICT technology, etc.: We will propose efficient methods to monitor resources using ICT and IoT, such as fish detectors and operation logbook tablets.
