Abstract
This chapter examines the environmental dimensions of Japan's role in the formation of Chinese modernity. The influence of modern Japanese conceptions of the sea and its resources dates back to the Meiji period (1868–1912), when Chinese students in Japan gained exposure to the discipline of fisheries management. After returning to China following their studies in Japan, Japanese-trained Chinese fisheries experts applied this understanding of the marine environment to their own country's fisheries. Echoing their Japanese counterparts, Chinese reformers invoked fisheries management to uphold the nation's sovereignty against looming foreign threats. This chapter explores how fisheries management in Meiji Japan was framed as a thoroughly modern and progressive endeavor. It also discusses the Japanese origins of modern fisheries management in China and how Japan acted as the inspiration for Chinese fisheries reforms throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Finally, it considers the persistence of Japanese influence in China's fisheries after 1949.
