Important outcomes of the efficiency analysis of Japanese marine fishery production were as follows： 1） tonnage of powered vessels and fishers quantity are positively related with Japanese marine fishery production value; 2） there still exists a range of 22% to 44% scope to improve the marine fishery production value theoretically， without adding more inputs; 3） in terms of the single prefectural government， Ehime showed the highest technical efficiency （TE） whatever estimation method was applied， while Osaka was the least efficient by the use of SFA and DEA-CRS (constant returns to scale）， and Yamaguchi displayed the lowest TE by means of DEA-VRS (variable returns to scale）; 4） there may exist inconsistency between large production value of one prefectural government and high TE.
Significant results of the TE study on the Pacific saury stick-held dip net fishery in Habomari region， Hokkaido prefecture using SFA approach are summarized as follows： 1） vessel tonnage， month/y fishing days， monthly crew size and stock abundance are essential and positive determinants of the sampled fishing vessels; 2） saury production can be averagely increased by 30% without adding more inputs if fishing vessels can operate fully efficiently; 3） vessel ownership of skipper， specialization in saury fishery， and large vessel tonnage are estimated to be several factors positively affecting technical efficiency.
Results of the efficiency study on the Pacific saury stick-held dip net fishery in Habomai region， Hokkaido prefecture using DEA approach in Chapter 6 were as follows： 1） vessels showed the highest TE do not guarantee high allocative efficiency (AE） and cost efficiency (CE）; 2） the sampled fishing vessels can improve their TE as well as CE to a considerable extent; 3） vessel tonnage and behavioral motivation of vessel owner or skipper showed positive influence on TE as well as CE.
