Gyeongnam Province has released over 4 billion artificially fertilized eggs from five cities and counties to aid in the recovery and resource creation in Daegu. The province also plans to release Marie this month, and cod, a migratory fish species, has returned to Jinhae Bay for the spawning season. This is important for fishermen who are suffering from resource depletion and is a significant source of income for them. The province has been promoting the release of fertilized eggs since 1981, releasing a total of 97.8 billion Daegu fertilized eggs.
