Tridge summary
The Jeju Headquarters of the Korea Fisheries Resources Agency (FIRA) announced on the 6th that it will release 57,000 abalone seeds by investing 50 million won in Daeseo-ri, Chuja-myeon, Jeju-si as part of the coastal sea ranch creation project. FIRA is promoting the Jeju coastal sea ranch construction project with the goal of increasing the income of fishermen through the recovery of the ecosystem of the coastal waters and improvement of fishery productivity. Accordingly, efforts are being made to improve aquatic resources by creating habitat-based spaces such as spawning grounds for aquatic organisms through artificial reef facilities and dialysis projects, and by releasing aquatic seeds such as abalone, red sea ginseng, and stone sea bream. The abalone seeds released by FIRA's Jeju headquarters this time are preferred by local haenyeo fishermen and have high economic value.
