Summary
Fishery worker who harvests small shellfish called nagareko in the intertidal zone and shallow sea areas.
Description
Nagareko harvesters are specialists who collect nagareko (small shellfish) inhabiting rocky areas in the intertidal zone and shallow seas. They mainly capture them by walking on reefs during low tide or collect individuals from deeper areas by freediving. Harvested nagareko is landed immediately to maintain freshness, sorted by size and quality, washed, and prepared for shipment. Since operations are affected by weather and tidal fluctuations, it is necessary to monitor meteorological and sea conditions and proceed safely. In addition to physical strength and concentration, understanding of sustainable fishery management is also important.
Future Outlook
Due to the aging of fishery workers and strengthened resource management, the importance of sustainable harvesting techniques and successor training is increasing, and the demand for workers with specialized skills is expected to be maintained to a certain extent.
