Fisheries Policy OfficeFisheries Policy Bureau Fisheries Policy in General Processing / Marketing Infrastructure / Fishermen Enforcement / Safety Fisheries Resources Bureau Resources Management Fishing Vessels / License Aquaculture Environment Distant-Water Fisheries Bureau Distant-Water Fisheries International Cooperation Fishery Negotiations MIFAFF MIFAFF (Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries)

22. Major management tools  Input/Output control fishing license 3,957 / TAC for 12 species  Buy-Back program (since 1994) scrapped 16,642 vessels  Technical measures Closed areas and seasons, Landing, etc.  Community based management (since 2001) managed by people who use them increasing both participants 10 times and income 8~9% / yr.

23. Comparison of fishery policies ClassificationKoreaJapanChina Input control License system Fishing gear size & type License system Restriction of fishing method and vessel size License system Controlling total number of vessels and their power Output control TAC - Technical measures Closed seasons and areas Mesh size Closed seasons & areas Mesh size Closed seasons & areas Mesh size Resource enhancement Artificial reefs Release of fry Sea farming Release of salmon & cod Artificial reefs Release of fry Release of salmon & trout Artificial reefs Release of fry Others Restrictions of catches landing, transshipments, & place of sale Co-management Water quality conservation Prohibition of sales of illegal catches Fishing right management Coastal fishing ground maintenance Prohibition of sales of illegal catches Resource fee Regulating proportion of fry catch

24. Aquaculture management  Input controls licenses: 13,409 (266,717 ha) limit on aquaculture access => small-scale business - prohibition of license lease - restriction on farm size (less than 60 ha) & large company’s entry  Technical measure restrictions on antibiotics usage drain water quality conservation

25. Processing / Marketing  Processing market size: $62 billion Certification schemes & Place-of-origin labeling system Electronic wholesale market & internet fisheries market HACCP on Aquaculture & processing factories, etc.  Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives Markets around producing & consumption areas - Consignment sale spots:160 places (landing ports : 202) - Wholesale markets (downtown)

26. Fishing village & port  Fishing village renovation Comprehensive fishing village development project (’94 ~ ) Sister City and Village Program (city vs. fishing village) Fishing village camp  Fishing Port National fishing port management (110 sites) Marine debris collecting vessel in fishing port Overseas fishing port building (with relation to ODA)

27. Human resources  Human Resources Enforcement Cultivate fisheries successor (‘81~’10): 18,750 person Fisheries population (’10): 171,000 person  Declining and Graying Population 1995 2010 2020 370 thousand person 171 130 25% over 60 years old 36% 60%

29. Fishing (capture, aquaculture) Food industry Life industry Paradigm shift

30. Sustainable Fisheries  Commencement of New Decommission Scheme Application-base ⇒ government’s official authority - target: over-fishing gear (e. g. trawl)  Stock Recovery of about 30 Species by 2020  Port (landing) Control to Prevent IUU Fishing Activities  Modernization of Fishing Vessels Crews’ welfare & low-carbon emission

31. Aquaculture  Abolition of access limit (step by step) => scale-up permit farm size more than 60 ha & license lease allow company’s entry  Expansion of aquaculture farm coastal to off-sea, mud flat & city (fish factory)

32. Marine biomass  Develop mass production tech. of seaweeds & micro-algae  Extract bio-fuel, pulp, and plastic from marine biomass * 1 million ha. of seaweeds farm: 4,500 million liters of motor fuel (50% of domestic consumption) Bio-fuel Pulp Plastic Medicine

33. Bio-medicine  Challenge: Difficulty in collecting marine life from nature  Solution: Aquaculture-mass production of useful marine life Cone shell in nature mass production by aquaculture extraction

34. Genetic breeding  Flounder, abalone, and other major species 3 rd generation flounder : 40% - Faster growth rate - Stronger for disease. - Expected to lower production cost by 40% * Norway salmon: 10 th generation. 300% faster growth rate. Occupies 70% of world market

35. Aqua-pet  World market size : 23 billion US$  Marine ornamental fish : decreased by resource depletion, reef destruction  Development of new species for aquaculture

36. Food industry Expanding HACCP: fishing farm to markets Adopting Eco-labeling system (proposed by FAO) Building Fisheries Base Processing Center - Simple Collection -> Packing, clean & processing Creating local food industry complex Promoting local Food brands SAFETY HYGIEN E QUALIT Y
