水産養殖
鳥羽湾の豊かな水域は、長きにわたって盛んな水産養殖業を支えてきました。太平洋の暖流である日本海流が伊勢湾からの潮流と出会う絶好の地形に恵まれ、この海では海中の生態系を良好に維持するプランクトンと微生物が盛んに繁殖します。ここで獲れるのは、主にマダイやハマチ、海苔を作るのに使われる海藻をはじめとした、日本料理によく登場する食材です。鳥羽地方は牡蠣の養殖で特に有名で、さまざまな技術を使って真珠収穫用と食用両方の牡蠣を養殖しています。

Aquaculture
The abundant waters of Toba Bay have long supported a thriving aquaculture industry. Thanks to the prime location, where the warm north-flowing Japan Current of the Pacific meets the tidal flows from Ise Bay, the waters are a breeding ground for plankton and microorganisms that sustain a healthy underwater ecosystem. Major harvests include madai sea bream, hamachi amberjack, and seaweeds used to prepare nori and other mainstays of Japanese cuisine. The Toba region is particularly renowned for its oyster industry, which utilizes a variety of techniques to cultivate the bivalves for both food and pearls.
