View original image[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Gyeongnam Provincial Fisheries Resources Research Institute announced on the 21st that it will release 400,000 juvenile sea cucumbers into the fishing grounds of 13 fishing villages in the province's coastal waters.
The institute succeeded in domestic mass production technology localization of sea cucumber seeds for the first time in Korea in 2006 and has transferred the technology to local government research institutes and private companies.
Building on this achievement, a large-scale seed production facility was completed in 2016. Since then, healthy seeds have been mass-produced and continuously released into the fishing grounds in front of fishing village communities in the province.
This year, 100,000 sea cucumbers and 210,000 abalones were released into 10 fishing village communities in March. Additionally, the institute is developing aquaculture technology and processing technology through purchase-release projects and seed sowing projects, and is continuously promoting research on high value-added breed improvement.

Kang Seungwan, a researcher at the Provincial Fisheries Resources Research Institute, stated, “Sea cucumbers are the most preferred species by fishing villages due to their effective release results. This release will provide a small help to the fishing village economy, which has been struggling due to COVID-19. We will strengthen the recovery of fishery resources and fishing competitiveness through continuous release and resource creation of high value-added breeds.”
