South Korea: On-site communication to resolve current issues related to flounder farming

Published 2024년 5월 13일

Tridge summary

The National Institute of Fisheries Science, along with local governments, academia, fisheries cooperatives, and aquaculture fishermen, held an on-site discussion to address the issue of mass mortality in flounder farming, which has been a major factor in the decline in productivity. The institute has been conducting research to develop the aquaculture industry and flounder species since 1981. The research includes breeding varieties, developing disease treatments, and circulating filtration culture. However, flounder aquaculture production has been stagnant since 2010 due to factors such as new diseases, environmental deterioration, and natural disasters. The institute shared disease trends and reduction measures in the Jeju region, which is home to half of all flounder farming, and discussed future research directions to reduce mass mortality of flounder.

The National Institute of Fisheries Science announced on the 2nd that it held an ‘on-site discussion on response to mortality in flatfish farming’ in Jeju with local governments, academia, fisheries cooperatives, and aquaculture fishermen. This on-site discussion was prepared to accurately diagnose the mortality problem, which is the main cause of the decline in flounder farming productivity, and to discover field research tasks to solve it. Since 1981, the Aquarium has promoted flounder farming research and has continuously worked to develop the aquaculture industry by distributing seed production technology to the field, contributing to the establishment of flounder as a representative aquaculture species, accounting for about 50% of Korea's fish farming production. . Recently, research has been conducted on breeding varieties (rapid growth, disease resistance), development of disease treatments, and circulating filtration culture to increase the productivity of flounder ...
