[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The seabed of Ulju-gun, Ulsan is becoming abundant with fishery resources released into the sea.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Saewool Nuclear Power Headquarters has released 112,000 juvenile sea cucumbers and 4 tons of horned turban shells into the sea in front of eight fishing villages in Ulju-gun since the 9th to create fishery resources and increase fishermen's income.

The released sea cucumbers are worth about 50 million KRW, and the horned turban shells are worth about 30 million KRW.

Previously, Saewool Nuclear Power has released a total of 1,504,000 fish including 600,000 red sea bream and starry flounder fry, 596,000 abalone juveniles, and 308,000 juvenile sea cucumbers since 2011, amounting to approximately 1.03 billion KRW in total.

Recently, large-scale releases of juvenile sea cucumbers and horned turban shells are expected to greatly help increase fishermen's income.

Ko Soo-sung, head of the Pyeongdong Fishing Village in Ulju-gun, welcomed the effort, saying, "Following abalone and sea cucumbers, we are releasing turban shells with the help of Saewool Nuclear Power, and we already look forward to the joy of a 'full catch' in the future."

Saewool Nuclear Power continuously strives to make the sea in front of Ulju-gun abundant by carrying out releases of seafood desired by fishing villages every year in consultation with the local fishing village chiefs' association.

On the 27th of last month, Saewool Nuclear Power also released 30,000 starry flounder fry and 20,000 abalone juveniles raised in warm water aquaculture farms into the sea near Songjeong Port, Seosaeng-myeon, Ulju-gun.
