Snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio O. Fabricius, 1788, are distributed in depths between 200 and 450 m in the western Sea of where it is the most important resource for the Danish seine fleet. A number of management strategies were implemented by fishermen in the western Sea of Japan in the 1980's; and the resource subsequently began to recover. This chapter provides selected examples of fishery management measures that are applied to restore the snow crab resource in the waters off Kyoto Prefecture. A number of studies are conducted, and methods are examined and proposed to fishermen, to determine how to effectively manage the snow crab resource. The strategies voluntarily adopted are: to avoid overfishing; the establishment of zero-catch sanctuaries in 1983; and the landing catch of soft-shelled males was prohibited in 2008. An improved Danish seine net was developed to address the issue of immature crabs being caught and discarded.
