The Japan Fisheries Association began its "Fisheries Studies Class" in 2005, aimed at elementary school students. In recent years, we have carried out the "Fisheries Studies Class" each year at from several to more than 10 schools, mainly located in the Kanto region, combining activities such as seminars on fish, touch like fish small pools, simulated pole and line fishing experiences with model bonito, and fish cooking classes (on request) aimed at PTA members. Using the students' class time for such activities to promote a fish diet, we hope that through becoming familiar with the ocean and fish, both the students and their parents will learn to enjoy eating fish.
