Abstract

According to KOSIS (2018), total landings of capture and culture fisheries in Korea increased from 1,073,000 metric tons (MT) in 1971 to
3,743,000 MT in 2017 mainly due to the development in marine aquaculture practices. During the last four decades, marine aquaculture production in Korea showed around 5-fold increases from 491,000 MT in 1977 to 2,310,000 MT in 2017 recording the value of 2.9 billion USD. Last year, the main production was derived from
seaweed (1,755,630 MT), while the aquatic animal production was made from shellfish (428,160 MT), fish (86,400 MT), crustacean (mainly shrimp of 5,100 MT) and others (34,530 MT). Either trash fish or moist pellet based on the raw fish is still being fed to marine culture fish, which is the main obstacle for developing the farming. The present situation and development direction are suggested for the mariculture development in Korea.
