Boseong-gun Releases 80,000 Juvenile Sweetfish

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 5th that it released about 80,000 silverfish fry into Beolgyo Chil-dongcheon, Deukryangcheon, and Boseong River on the 2nd.

The silverfish released this time are fish seeds over 5cm in length and inhabit only clean inland waters of grade 1 to 2.

Silverfish are migratory species; the hatched fry spend the winter in the sea or dams and return upstream to the river again in April to May of the following year.

A county official said, "This year as well, we plan to do our best to improve fishermen's income by continuously releasing high value-added fish seeds to create abundant fishery resources."

To protect fishery resources, Boseong-gun released more than 340,000 fish of 10 species including silverfish and catfish into inland waters such as Boseong River, Beolgyo Chil-dongcheon, and Juamho last year, and released more than 600,000 fish seeds of 3 species including black porgy and cockles into seawater, continuously striving for ecosystem conservation and fishermen's income increase.
