[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Shim Deokseop, the governor of Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk, visited the site of the mullet fish farm mortality damage to console fishermen and instructed to minimize the damage.

According to the county on the 9th, Shim Deokseop, governor of Gochang-gun, visited the mullet fish farm mortality site in Buan-myeon on the 7th.

Earlier, in Gochang, damage occurred with massive mortality of mullet at three fish farms in Buan-myeon, and the cause of death is believed to be oxygen deficiency due to a sudden drop in water temperature caused by cold waves and freezing of the fish farm surface.

The damage volume was investigated to be estimated at 240,000 mullet based on damage reports from fish farms.

The county completed an on-site survey to investigate the damage volume for the payment of disaster relief funds to the affected fish farms.

Governor Shim Deokseop said, “We will strive to minimize the damage by providing disaster relief funds to the affected fishermen and giving priority points for subsidy projects in the aquaculture sector this year.”
