The article highlights a concerning trend among South Korean fishing communities, where the average debt of fish families has seen a significant increase of 50% over the past three years, rising from 42452,000 won in 2017 to 63493,000 won in 2019. This debt crisis, which affects both fisheries and farmed fisheries, is coupled with a decrease in household income, which stood at 48415,000 won in 2019. Lawmaker Jeong Jeom-sik has called for the development of countermeasures to address this issue, focusing on improving the income of sea bass and reducing their debt costs to combat the rising debt crisis.
