The “Fast Fish” campaign is a policy promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in Japan. The term “Fast Fish” refers to fish products that are boneless and easy to prepare. Our study examined the campaign’s influence on consumer consciousness of marine environmental preservation in Japan, which is...
The great earthquake that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, triggered a nuclear power plant accident. As a consequence, many marine product processing industries and fishery resources were damaged. This paper discusses the determinants of the rumors related to the radioactivity, which seem to affect the purchase decisions of processed...
Since October 2013, consecutive cases of food mislabeling, such as Black Tiger Prawns being sold under the name of Kuruma Prawns in famous restaurants, department stores, etc., have begun to surface in Japan, and this has become a social problem. This study conducted a consumer questionnaire in free-answer format in...

The endangered Hawaiian common gallinule (Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis) is an endemic Hawaiian waterbird that occurs only on O‘ahu and Kaua‘i. Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) supports the largest population of Hawaiian gallinule on either island and is also one of the highest producers of commercially grown taro in the state....
In this study, we tried to develop a theoretical framework based on the Schaefer model and establish bioeconometric models to estimate the index of fishery resources using cross-country macro data. The characteristics of our model are that we consider the effect of natural fluctuations of fishery resources over time (in...
The Chukchi Sea is thought to be a globally important sink of atmospheric CO₂ due to the summertime drawdown of surface pCO₂ by phytoplankton and subsequent shelf-to-basin transport of CO₂-enriched subsurface waters into the upper halocline of the Arctic Ocean. Here we show that annually occurring storm-induced mixing events during...
Eddy covariance flux research has relied on open- or closed-path gas analyzers for producing estimates of net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water vapor (H₂O). The two instruments have had different challenges that have led to development of an enclosed design that is intended to maximize strengths and...
