Pickling fishery

Japanese: 漬漁業 - づけぎょぎょう

This is a fishery that takes advantage of the tendency of schools of fish to attach themselves to driftwood or floating seaweed, and of cuttlefish to gather on tree branches that have sunk to the seabed during spawning season, by artificially placing trees, bamboo, brushwood, etc. in the sea and catching schools of fish that have attached themselves to these. There are various final fishing methods. The most representative is the dolphin fishery, which is widely practiced in the Tsushima Warm Current region. 20 to 50 bundles of moso bamboo, 4 to 5 meters long and about 50 cm in diameter, are laid out at intervals of about 1000 meters in one fishing ground. To catch the fish, bait is used to separate the schools of fish that have gathered from under the bamboo, and the fish are then scattered around.

魚群が流木，流れ藻などについたり，コウイカが産卵期に海底に沈んだ木の枝などに寄る習性を利用し，人工的に木，竹，柴（しば）などを海中に設置し，これらについた魚群などを漁獲する漁業。最終的な漁獲方法はさまざまである。シイラ漬漁業が代表的なもので，対馬暖流域で広く行われる。4～5mのモウソウチクを直径50cmほどの束にしたものを一つの漁場に1000mぐらいの間隔で20～50束敷設する。漁獲は集まっている魚群をまき餌などで竹の下から離し，まいてとる。
