INO helped the Laboratory of Aquatic Environmental Science from Agricultural Science course at Kochi University to take samples of algae which cause ciguatera toxins (winter time) for the study of microalgae which are responsible for ciguatera.
The Laboratory's findings;
We analyzed the samples of this year, taken at a depth of thirty meters in winter, and found a lot of toxic algae. They could have been a different kind from what we had seen before. We will keep analyzing that from the next year on.

INO helped the "lecture on specially-processed fish by fish expert Mr. Hasegawa" which was held by Awase and Mihama Sato-umi Fishery Conference.

INO helped the Laboratory of Aquatic Environmental Science from Agricultural Science course at Kochi University to take samples of algae which cause ciguatera toxins (autumn time) for the study of microalgae which are responsible for ciguatera.

At Yuhuin, a ceremonial dinner "unnamed restaurant" took place, and INO served Okinawan seafood such as specially-processed bluespine unicornfish.

OJINO facecloths were turned over at "Okinawa, tsubutsubu-a little atelier fair" at an atelier shop "fusson" in Yufuin.

For the study of microscopic algae which causes ciguatera conducted by the Laboratory of Aquatic Environmental science of Faculty of Agricultural and Agricultural Science Program at Kochi University, INO helped taking a sample of breeder algae for ciguatera toxins. (summertime)

Ippei Yanagida participated in the 18th national gathering
for exchange of fishermen and women, and gave a presentation
on INO's activity under the title, “NPO that was organized by Umintyu”,
as representative of Okinawa prefecture.

He was awarded the Minister of Agriculture,
Forestry and Fisheries Prize for it.

Getting a subsidy from Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and
Tourism,
Kaiho Research Institute Ltd. helped us start a new projet to develop our
brand “OJINO”.

Its first products are now on sale at the souvenir shop in Tokyo Dai-ichi
Hotel OKINAWA GRAND MER RESORT.

We provided Eiko Gakuen High Scool students on school trip
from Kanagawa prefecture, with active learning programs.

They experienced old-style fishing, Thina fishing,
in Okinawan traditional fishing boat called Sabani.

Each student cooked fish they caught,
using seawater to boil and season, and made Masuni on the boat.

And of course, they enjoyed tasting it.

At the gathering for exchange of fishermen and women
of Okinawa Fishery Cooperatives , our presentation on INO's activity
was awarded Okinawa Prefectural governor Prize.

The community of seaweed such as Japanese kelp, sea mustard and so on, is called alga forest. It is a very important ground for breeding marine life.

But recently, rising of water temperature caused by global warming had increased appetite of fish such as drummer that fed on seaweed. They ate up seaweed of alga forest and invited phenomenon of denudation.

Fishery co-operative association in Nagasaki was working hard to deal with this phenomenon called shore-burning. They were trying to bring drummer which was a contributing factor of it, to citizens’ tables.

In order to cooperate with their efforts INO conducted pilot sales of drummers, with a help of Payao direct sales store of Okinawa fishery co-operative association, and carried out hearing survey to the people concerned, in July 2010.
