Expectations for Increased Fishery Income, Enhancing Marine Ecosystem Vitality

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Jeonnam Goheung-gun (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced on the 20th that 50,000 juvenile spotted sea bass were released at Wonjudo branch in Gwaryeok-myeon.


This release aims to secure fishery resources in coastal fishing grounds that are increasingly depleted due to the reduction of fishing grounds, overfishing caused by illegal fishing, and changes in the marine environment (such as high water temperature and warming), thereby revitalizing the marine ecosystem.


An official from the county stated, "When the released high-value species juvenile spotted sea bass grow into adults, the increase in catch volume will greatly benefit fishermen," and added, "We will do our best to manage the release area in cooperation with fishermen and fishing villages to prevent illegal fishing."



Goheung-gun secured 300 million KRW for the release project in 2022 and plans to continue releasing aquatic species suitable for the Goheung sea area, such as black porgy and rockfish.
