Jeonnam Marine and Fisheries Science Institute, breeding and management of 'export filial piety' ark shells

Published 2025년 12월 16일

Tridge summary

The Jeonnam Marine and Fisheries Science Institute (Director Kim Chung-nam) is taking systematic breeding and management measures to continue the reputation of its export flagship items by planting 280,000 artificially produced short-necked clam seeds (average size of approximately 5 mm) produced by the Future Fisheries Research Institute of the Eastern Branch in the Byeollaeng Myeon waters of Suncheon. This year, the institute is focusing on expanding the size of the planted seeds to ensure more stable adaptation to the natural environment, increasing the initial survival rate, and maximizing the effectiveness of breeding and management. Additionally, the institute plans to introduce a tidal flat partition intermediate breeding method to limit mobility and prevent predation, and to precisely analyze the effects of future breeding and management and utilize the results as scientific evidence.

The Jeonnam Marine Fisheries Science Institute (Director Kim Chung-nam) is introducing 280,000 artificially produced seed clams (average size of 5 mm) into the Suncheon Byeolyang Island waters from its own production at the Future Fisheries Research Institute in the eastern branch, in a systematic effort to maintain the reputation of the export flagship item. This year, the size of the planted seeds has been increased to adapt more stably to the natural environment, focusing on raising the initial survival rate and maximizing the effect of cultivation management. In addition, the tidal flat partitioning intermediate cultivation method has been introduced to prevent mobility restrictions and feeding damage, with plans to precisely analyze the effect of future cultivation management and utilize the results as scientific evidence. It is also expected to contribute to the establishment of standardized release criteria and guidelines for the clams. The clams produced in Suncheon Bay ...
