Tridge summary

The Fish Breeding Research Center of the National Academy of Fisheries Science in South Korea has partnered with the Gyeongsangnam-do Fisheries Resources Research Center to enhance the productivity of red sea bream aquaculture. The collaboration aims to develop new breeding varieties of red snapper, addressing the challenge of declining domestic production due to increased imports. The research will be conducted until 2024, with each institution bringing specialized expertise in genetic analysis, breeding management, and seed production. The goal is to improve the quality and competitiveness of red sea bream seeds, supporting the sustainability of aquaculture.

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. The purpose of this joint research is to solve the ...
