Abstract
The negative factors from fishery in environmental aspect of view are greenhouse-gases emissions due to high fossil fuel usage. In particular, the greenhou se-gases emissions from fisheries is an important issue based on the Can?un meeting in Mexico in 1992 and the Kyoto protocol in 1997.BR However, investigations on the greenhouse-gases emissions from Korean fisheries is early step. Therefore, a quantitative analysis on greenhouse-gases emissions from the Korean fishery is needed to reduce it.BR The purpose of this study is try to evaluate the greenhouse-gases emissions from large purse seine fishery. The LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) method was used to analyze greenhouse-gases emissions from large purse seine. System boundary, allocation method and each data value were defined for processing the LCA. Furthermore, fuel use coefficient of large purse seine fishery was calculated based on production and fuel consumption.BR The result of this study will be helpful to understand greenhouse-gases emissions from Korean fisheries.
