Jeonnam Marine and Fisheries Research Institute: High water temperature delays the optimal time for seaweed cultivation in South Korea

The Jeonnam Provincial Institute of Ocean Science and Technology announced that the optimal time for seaweed seedlings is expected to be later than average, after late September and early October, due to higher water temperatures than average this year. This year, the water temperature in the Jeonnam sea area is expected to be 2~4℃ higher than average, and the water temperature drop period, which is expected to be below 23℃ (Itbadidol Gim) and below 22℃ (Momundol Gim and Radial Gim), is expected to be somewhat delayed. The Jeonnam Provincial Institute of Ocean Science and Technology plans to operate a seaweed seedling consultation center for each region for the purpose of stable seedlings and prevention of damage from high temperatures in the early stages of aquaculture, such as the maturity of the shell filamentous body and disease management, and provide real-time information on water temperature and nutrient analysis.
