The Fish Breeding Research Center of the National Academy of Fisheries Science announced on the 10th that it had signed an MOU with the Gyeongsangnam-do Fisheries Resources Research Center to improve the productivity of red sea bream aquaculture through the development of breeding varieties. It is difficult for a single institution to promote breeding breed development research because it requires specialized manpower, breeding facilities to manage young fish and mothers, a large budget, and it takes a long time to derive research results. The orchard plans to carry out joint breeding research with the Gyeongsangnam-do Fisheries Resources Research Center until 2024 to develop the breeding red snapper requested and proposed by the Gyeongnam Fish Farming Association. Domestic red sea bream aquaculture production has gradually decreased after peaking at 9226 tons in 2009, and is currently being produced around 5000 tons.
