우리나라 수산자원 연구 동향의 분석적 연구

Abstract

This study is to quantitatively analyze research trends of fisheries resources in Korea, based on the literature analysis and keywords analysis of research papers which were published by academic societies and research organizations for six decades from 1961 to 2020. The contents of this study include quantitative analysis of changes in the research production for six decades, research trends by research area(survey, assessment, management), and research contents by decade. Based on the literature analysis using a total of 1,680 research papers, the pattern of increase in research production revealed a typical logistic type, showing a rapid increase in the earlier years and then a gradual slower increase afterwards to reach the asymptotic level. The keywords analysis showed that there were apparent changes in research contents by decades. The earlier years’ research focused mainly on the resource survey than resource assessment or resource management. However, researches after 1990s were dominantly conducted on the resource assessment. It is recommended that an integrated ecosystem-based fisheries resource management system should be established in the near future, based on the scientific assessment and GIS-based spatio-temporal management of the aquatic ecosystems as well as fisheries resources. To effectively carry out this task, it will be necessary to adopt a customized integrated education system, which should be closely interacting with integrated research of fisheries resources by facilitating fisheries education.
