[Asia Economy Reporter La Youngcheol] The Gangwon Province East Coast Headquarters announced on the 11th that "to restore fishery resources and improve fishermen's income, 700,000 flounder seedlings produced in-house will be released into the coastal waters of six East Coast cities and counties' fishing villages starting from the 12th."

The flounder seedlings being released this time are certified seed varieties under the seed release certification system, healthy seedlings with a total length of 6 cm or more, ensuring genetic diversity.

The East Coast Headquarters expects that the fast-growing flounder will reach marketable size after 2 to 3 years of growth post-release, greatly aiding fishermen's income who are struggling due to the decline in coastal fishery resources.

Meanwhile, the Gangwon Province Fisheries Resources Research Institute has produced and released 13.07 million flounder seedlings, a fish species preferred by the entire nation, from 1998 until last year.
