Tridge summary

The Academy of Fisheries Science in Korea is conducting voluntary research on Patagonian toothfish (mero) in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean to promote responsible deep-sea fishing. The research involves tracking the short-term and long-term movements of 50 mero specimens using satellite electronic labels, which have revealed that the fish migrate from the Falklands to South Georgia.

Expected to play an advantageous role in Korea when receiving fishing quotas The Academy of Fisheries Science announced that it is voluntarily conducting scientific research on Patagonian toothfish (mero) that inhabits this waters in order to practice responsible deep-sea fishing in the high seas of the Southwest Atlantic Ocean. In order to find out the short-term and long-term movement and behavioral characteristics of Mero, the Fisheries Science Academy and the ocean shipping company Jeongil Industry Co., Ltd. have been collecting data by attaching and discharging satellite electronic labels to 50 animals from 2018 to 2019. Mero, which was released from the waters near the Falklands, located at the southern tip of Argentina, has recently been found to migrate to South Georgia, about 1,000 km away. Mero is treated as a high-class fish because of its taste and fragrance, but its life history is not widely known as it is a fish that is caught only in the deep waters of ...
