Yangsan City Holds Release Event for Southeast Asian Mud Crab Seed

Expectations for Water Resource Recovery and Increased Fishermen's Income

On July 8, Yangsan City in South Gyeongsang Province released approximately 320,000 Southeast Asian mud crabs (juvenile crabs) into the Yangsan Stream. This initiative was undertaken to increase the population of native fish species and restore the aquatic ecosystem environment, which have been declining due to climate warming and changes in the inland water ecosystem's habitat conditions.
