It operates to transfer accumulated experience in the fisheries sector, which played a significant role in Korea's economic development process, to developing countries, build a pro-Korea network in the fisheries sector, and promote sustainable fisheries development worldwide.

Since starting the International Fisheries Science Cooperation Program in 2010 as part of KOICA's global fisheries development master's degree training project, Pukyong National University has produced 204 master's graduates in fisheries science from 44 countries.

Through this program, they have published 126 papers in domestic and international academic journals and contribute to fisheries development by developing fisheries projects and policy making upon returning to their home countries. Cooperation cases between them and Korea are also increasing.

Pukyong National University has been recognized for its achievements in operating the International Fisheries Science Cooperation Program, being selected as the best institution for post-management of master's degree training projects and an excellent partner institution by KOICA.
