‘Jache Saengsan Gijang Miyeok Jongja’ Gijang-gun Fisheries Resource Research Center Distributes to Aquaculture Sites

Distribution of 453 Self-Produced Seaweed Seed Frames by Gori Headquarters Support Project
Production of Seaweed and Ssimyeok Seeds Suitable for Gijang Waters, Expected to Increase Local Fishermen's Income

Recently, the Gijang-gun Fisheries Resources Research Center (Director Park Haekyung) distributed seaweed seedlings produced in-house to local fishing sites.

The Fisheries Resources Research Center is distributing seaweed seedlings produced in-house to fishermen.

The seaweed seedlings distributed this time are the result of research and production by the center, supported by 40 million KRW in project funds from the Gori Nuclear Power Plant Headquarters as part of the '2023 Gori Headquarters Business Support Project.'

So far, the research center has conducted offshore transplantation studies of 400 seaweed seedbeds and 200 Eisenia bicyclis seedbeds that completed indoor cultivation by improving indoor water quality and cultivation management methods. In December last year, they successfully produced 314 seaweed seedbeds and 139 Eisenia bicyclis seedbeds.

Thereafter, the research center plans to continuously monitor the progress of the distributed seaweed seedlings until harvest and reflect the findings in future seed production.

An official from the research center stated, “As this is a challenging time with frequent declines in seaweed growth and mass mortality due to environmental changes such as high water temperatures in coastal waters, we will actively strive to revitalize the local fishing economy through the production of high-quality Gijang-type seaweed seedlings.”
