This release aims to increase fishery resources, which have been declining due to changes in the marine environment, overfishing, and illegal fishing, and is expected to greatly contribute to increasing the income of local fishermen. On the 25th, 100,000 catfish (Megi) seeds will be released at Ubi Wharf in Illo-eup, and in August, 50,000 seeds of Dongjagae will be released.
Additionally, sea cages have been installed in the waters of Topmeori and Jangjae in Mangun-myeon for natural hatching of webfoot octopus (Jjukkumi) seeds, and 100 kg of brood webfoot octopus have been stocked. In the second half of this year, a purchase project to eradicate invasive freshwater fish species (bass and bluegill) will be carried out to promote the increase of freshwater biological resources.
A Muan-gun official stated, “We will actively strive to create fishery resources through scientific and systematic release project planning and steady budget securing to restore fishery resources and increase fishermen’s income.”
