Since South Korea did not adopt the recreation fishing using right (coupon) system, there were no recreation fishing statistics. This study selected 480 fishing vessels (10.4%) of a total of 4,611 fishing vessels (as of December 2019) as a survey sample using stratified sampling. Unlike other research institutes that conducted surveys related to the amount of tide on a one-time, this survey was conducted for five months (from May to October 2020, except the month of August). The captain investigated about types of fish, size, weight, etc. to anglers. A difference from previous studies was that about 7.0 million angler population (fishing more than three times a week) had 19.4 kg of catch per person for a year while other studies showed about 25.5-52.0 kg, respectively. The total fisheries resource catch amount was analyzed to be about 95,000 tons in this study and 116,000-166,000 tons in other studies. So there was a difference of about 1.2 to 1.8 times. This study aims to lay the foundation for the development of the fishing industry by preparing accurate statistical data and securing reliable basic statistics related to the fishing industry. Also, it could be usefully used as basic policy data such as introduction of a fishing using right (coupon) system.

Although Korea operates various systems and policies for the management of fisheries resources, it is judged that a more systematic resource management policy is needed due to the continuous decrease in the production of coastal and offshore fisheries. In this study, the catch capacity was analyzed using the DEA technique for coastal and offshore fisheries. As a result, despite the decrease in the amount of fisheries resources and the number of fishing vessels, there was a trend of increasing fishing capacity. As of 2019, the total maximum catch of offshore fishery was estimated at 820,007 tons. The actual catch was 548,159 tons and the CU was measured to be about 66.8%, which was analyzed to be an excess of about 33.2% of the catch. The total maximum catch of coastal fisheries was estimated at 187,887 tons. The actual catch was also the same value and the CU was measured to be about 100.0%. Thus, it was analyzed that there was no excess in catch. For the management of fisheries resources, it is necessary to manage the fishing capacity. To this end, policies such as scientific TAC should be promoted as well as expanding the reduction of fishing vessels.

This paper analyzed economic feasibility of aquacultural construction which of large-scale. The results of the economic analysis, cage cultural and water recycling cultural by post-water treatment were analyzed that NPV is 2,083,685 thousand won and －14,105,896 thousand won and B/C ratio is 0.590 and 0.855, respectively. These were shown economic infeasibility. But, running water culture by pre-water treatment(small scale) and running water culture by pre-water treatment(large scale) were analyzed that the one is 5,555,747 thousand won and 15,048,589 thousand won and the other is 1,154 and 1,1221, respectively. these were shown economic feasibility. In addition, measurement of B/C ratio through a sensitivity analysis on running water cultural by prewater treatment(small scale) and running water cultural by pre-water treatment(large scale) is economic feasibility in all cases. However, these were analyzed when the selling price was falling to 20 percent, it has shown economic infeasibility and when the selling price rises to 20 percent, water recycling culture by post-water treatment has economic feasibility. The significance of the study analyzed a sensibility as well as economic feasibility by methods and scales. It is expected that used as basic materials when constructing and operating of land aquaculture in order to minimize the damage from natural disasters.

Due to red tide and abnormal currents that take place every year, the damage of inland fish farms that takes sea water is increasing frequently. Also, the households of inland fish farm due to the increase in the cost of fuel and electricity are struggling many hardships economically. In relation to underground seawater for it’s farm analyzed economic effect based on the actual conditions for 1,700 inland fish farms, from this I have deduced policy implications for direction this project to be pursued from now on. The saving rate of costs of the fuel and electricity through the development of an underground seawater were approximately analyzed to decline about 3.4〜9.7%, if utilizing only about 5% of the undeveloped farms, it was estimated effect of about 61 billion won, if 10%, it was estimated effect of about 122 billion won. Consideration in selecting the developer of underground seawater will be selected an character of farm method. It is expected this study will be helpful for business analysis related government in the fisheries.

This study estimated quantitatively the loss of the fisheries due to China’s illegal fishing that prevailed in the EEZ of the country in recent and has been an object to present a basic data in the implementation of government policy as to strengthen the enforcement capacity, setting up the direction of the crackdown of Chinese through to figure out an objective loss according to that. The analyzed result of this study setting a reasonable scenario, fisheries resources reduction is estimated about 67.5 million ton and the estimated amount of the loss is about 1.3 trillion won. This is 21.2% of about 318.3 ten thousand tons of the total fishery production of the country and accounts for 61.9% compared to coastal and offshore fisheries production. Therefore it is a very serious problem due to China’s illegal fishing in Korea fisheries sector. It is significant to the point that estimating the qualitative and quantitative losses that can achieve a realistic and effective policy.

A study on the seamen’s demand - supply has been focused on early 1990s, and never studied yet since 2007. Because previous studies related to the seamen are very different in conditions the environments around the fishery recently. It is serious problem that the number of domestic semen are decreasing continually. To depend on foreign seamen because of lacking of domestic seamen should be linked closely with the fishing industry environment in our country. Therefore, this study is limited to domestic seamen. Lacking recent domestic seamen, it is the most likely to rise imbalance between demand - supply in the future. Through medium and long term its analysis based on data, we are willing to discover various political subjects for seamen’s welfare, the training of manpower, education, etc. To solve these issues, it can be made institutional changes as follows ; First, it is necessary policy-making related the deteriorating employment situation based on its analysis of medium and long term for seamen. Second, it is necessary to overcome a dual system for its management for seamen. Third, it is necessary to improve problems of statistics data for fishery and build a statistical system for seamen. Also, it will be improved a insurance system under 5 ton and strengthen the function for Korean seamen welfare and employment center and must be urgently countermeasures for the minimal unemployment rate through a content development and management of home page. Finally, it will be supplied reliably seamen to improve a practice system for apprentices according to the international regulations(STCW-F) for fishery students.

소형어선 검사제도와 관련하여 최근에 정부에서는 선박검사대상에 제외되었던 선외기등 총톤수 2톤 미만의 선박(이하 소형어선)에 대하여 선박안전법 적용대상으로 확대하여 어민들의 안정적인 조업활동을 지원하여야 한다는 근거하에 선박안전법 개정(제3조)에 관한 입법이 추진중에 있다. 소형어선의 검사여부 문제에 대해 어선의 안전확보 차원에서 검사를 해야 된다는 측면과 영세민과 노년층으로 현행 검사비 및 검사수수료의 비용 부담 및 어선검사를 받는데 소요되는 많은 시간 등의 문제로 종전과 같이 검사대상에서 제외되어야 한다고 주장하고 있다. 이러한 상반된 의견에 대한 대안으로 영세어민의 생업에 사용하거나 소형어선에 대한 검사는 원칙적으로 선박의 소유 또는 사용자가 자발적으로 수행하여야 하며 행정적인 규제는 이러한 목적 달성을 위한 최소한의 정책수단으로 제한되는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 주요 수산국들 처럼 우리나라도 소형어선 검사를 위한 다양한 프로그램개발이 필요하다. 특히, 소형어선에 대한 검사를 실시하는 경우, 어선검사료 정부 지원, 최소한의 안전확보 검사, 어선건조시 검사, 검사기간을 연장하는 방안을 고려하여 정책을 추진할 필요가 있는 것으로 파악되었다.
