The Historical Geography Study of the Development Structure of Japanese Fishermen on West Coast of CANADA before the Second Word War

这项研究的结果是考察二战前日本渔民在加拿大西海岸的迁徙，特别是从弗雷泽河口的斯蒂维斯顿到温哥华岛西海岸的迁徙。1919年左右，一位来自维多利亚的渔民，来自和歌山县的Mio村。在温哥华岛西海岸附近发现了一个大渔场。根据这一信息，许多渔民从斯特维斯顿搬到了温哥华岛西部。但在1923年，加拿大政府限制向日本渔民发放捕鱼许可证。新的许可证制度将允许的日本渔民人数限制在100人以内。20世纪20年代以后，日本船工在发展动力驱动的渔船方面发挥了重要作用。在此之前，无论是当地的加拿大人还是有一定木工经验的日本人，都只负责简单的船只维修。然而，如果不谈到在日本学习造船技术的日裔加拿大船工的巨大贡献，就不能讨论建造新的动力驱动船。和歌山县的Nishi或Minami-Muro-gan造船技术曾在和歌山县生产过许多造船工人。从这些观察中，我们需要论证，只有采用历史-地理方法，才能有效地分析一个人在特定出生地的世袭职业与移民加拿大后的就业之间的关系。

The result of this research is to examine the migration of Japanese fishermen on the west coast of Canada before the Second World War, particularly the migration from Steveston at the mouth of the Fraser River to the west coast of Vancouver Island.Around 1919, a fisherman from Victoria, originally from Mio Village in Wakayama Pref. discovered a large fishing ground off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Based on this information, many fishermen moved from Steveston to western Vancouver Island. But in 1923, the Government of Canada limited the issuance of fishing licenses to Japanese fishermen. The new licensing system limited the allowable number Japanese fishermen to one hundred.Japanese shipwrights played a significant role in the development of power-driven fishing boats after the 1920s. Until then, either local Canadians or the Japanese who had some carpentering experience had taken care of simple repairs of boats.However, It can not be discussed the building of new power-driven boats without bringing up the considerable contribution by Japanese-Canadian shipwrights who had learned shipbuilding techniques in Japan, particularly those from Nishi-or Minami-Muro-gun, in Wakayama prefecture, where a number of shipwrights had been produced.From these observations, It will need to argue that only by adopting a historic-geographical approach, effectively analyze the relationship between one's hereditary occupation at one's specific birthplace and his subsequent employment after immigrating to Canada.
