Abstract
Marine Stock Enhancement, Restocking, and Sea Ranching in Korea
Highlights
The world’s fishing has contributed to human welfare, income, augmenting employment and meeting raised food demand
This study introduces the methods and insights of the Korean eco-friendly Fish Stock Enhancement Programs (FSEPs)-based Fish Stock Rebuilding Plan (FSRP) and its 10-year fisheries management policy
It is difficult to evaluate a comprehensive fisheries management policy FSRP based on FSEP within only 10 years, some vivid emerging improvements were depicted at the level of biodiversity
Summary
The world’s fishing has contributed to human welfare, income, augmenting employment and meeting raised food demand. South Korea has increased the fishing pressure on many marine resources in a sustainable way in a short period [6, 7]. This situation compelled the whole nation and experts to think about exploited stock rebuilding to make sound marine ecosystem. The characteristics of coastal and offshore multi-species fisheries put the ultimate challenges in implementing management policies for each fish species. Likewise, another potential reason of depletion in fisheries resources is the failure of effectively refrain fishers from overfishing of juvenile fishes due to mix fishing [6]. It presents different strategies proposed to overcome any issues related to the implementation of the FSRP plan
