Koike (Member of Maritime and Fisheries
Promotion Society in Tokyo University of Marine

of SFJO of Japan).
The result was very effi cient. Technical
information from various countries was a good

After the congress, the Japanese delegation
visited several oyster farms along the Atlantic
coast, Arcachon-Aquitaine, Marennes, Bretagne
Sud, and the stations of Institut français pour
l’Exploitation de la Mer (Ifremer).
In Marennes, Mr. Goto who examined seed
oysters before exporting in 1968 was guided to

seed from Japan was released. And he could
exchange information with the oyster grower
who transported the first seed that arrived in
Paris to Marennes. It was just a historical
