[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Chungnam Provincial Fisheries Resources Research Institute announced on the 11th that it recently released 600,000 juvenile flower crabs into the waters along the west coast.


The released flower crabs were hatched larvae managed from mother crabs since May and grown to a carapace width of about 1 cm, expected to reach commercial value starting next spring.


The Fisheries Resources Research Institute expects that releasing juvenile flower crabs will help restore the flower crab resources along the west coast amid significant fluctuations in harvests caused by illegal fishing, overfishing, and changes in the marine environment.



Meanwhile, since 2006, the Fisheries Resources Research Institute has been steadily releasing juvenile flower crabs along the coastal areas of the province every year, striving to develop fishery resources and increase fishermen's income.
