Boseong-gun Initiates Creation of Golden Fishing Grounds through Aquatic Seed Release

100,000 Juvenile Black Rockfish Released into Deukryangman Coastal Waters

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that on the 14th, it conducted a fish seed release event at Seonso Port in Deukryang-myeon and Gunhak Port in Hoecheon-myeon.

About 20 people, including related officials, affiliated organizations, village fishery chiefs, and fishermen, participated in this event, releasing 100,000 spotted sea bass fry, a high value-added fish seed.

The released spotted sea bass fry were selected as healthy seeds through disease inspection by the National Fishery Products Quality Management Service.

Spotted sea bass is a species with high adaptability to the natural environment and is expected to greatly contribute to increasing the income of local fishermen.

After the fry release, an explanation was given to nearby fishermen about the effects of the seed release project and the necessity of creating fishery resources.

The county urged active participation in eradicating illegal fishing such as capturing young fish for at least one month in the released waters.

A Boseong-gun official said, "Fishermen are facing many difficulties due to the decrease in fishery resources," adding, "We will do our best to create abundant coastal fishing grounds and increase fishermen's income through continuous fish seed release."

Meanwhile, this year, Boseong-gun released 2.2 million kuruma shrimp and 230,000 black porgy in the Yeojaman (Beolgyo-eup) waters, and plans to additionally release 230,000 black porgy and 3,000 female octopuses in the Deukryangman (Deukryang-myeon, Hoecheon-myeon) waters by the end of this month.
