Spatial and economic quantification of provisioning service by eelgrass beds in Lake Notoro, Hokkaido, Japan
Abstract Eelgrass beds provide a habitat for many high-value fishery resources, and provisioning services, one of the ecosystem services, need to be quantified. However, few examples have been evaluated spatially. We determined the distribution of eelgrass beds in Lake Notoro, a marine lagoon in Hok...

| description | Abstract Eelgrass beds provide a habitat for many high-value fishery resources, and provisioning services, one of the ecosystem services, need to be quantified. However, few examples have been evaluated spatially. We determined the distribution of eelgrass beds in Lake Notoro, a marine lagoon in Hokkaido, Japan, and quantified the provisioning services by the eelgrass beds in relation to Pandalus latirostris, a fishery resource. Acoustic measurement surveys of the eelgrass beds and catch surveys of the shrimp were conducted in July and August 2015. The relationship between catch per unit effort (CPUE) of shrimp and the distribution of eelgrass beds was shown. The estimated distribution area of eelgrass beds was 7.07 km2. Shrimp was frequently caught at water depths of 3–5 m, approximately 200 m from the edge of the eelgrass beds. The expected catch of shrimp in the fishing area of Lake Notoro in 2015 was 25.37 tons and US$ 463.6 thousand. Eelgrass beds were found to affect the fisheries production not only on the inside but also at the edge and outside. The entire coastal space should be evaluated, while considering the effect of the distribution of eelgrass beds, to quantify the provisioning services. |
