‘Squid Farming Stabilization TF’ Launched to Address High Temperature Damage

A task force (TF) has been organized to minimize damage to aquaculture farms. The National Institute of Fisheries Science announced on the 18th that it held an inauguration ceremony for the ‘Aquaculture Stabilization TF Team’ at its Busan headquarters on the 17th to establish measures to reduce damage to aquaculture farmed aquaculture due to high water temperatures. This year, a high water temperature warning of over 28℃ was issued for the southern coast until October 2nd. The high water temperature warning period was 71 days, the longest period ever. The limiting water temperature for aquaculture farms is 26℃. Aquaculture farmed in large quantities on the southern coast is very vulnerable to high water temperatures and is sensitive to environmental changes. Accordingly, the scale of damage to aquaculture farmed aquaculture farms is also expected to be the largest ever. Accordingly, the National Institute of Fisheries Science organized a TF comprised of experts in aquaculture, ...
