Abstract

Olive Flounder is a fish species used for raw fish that represents Korea's fish farming and is a very familiar marine product to the people. Olive Flounder farming began in earnest in Jeju, a major Olive Flounder producing area, in 1983 with the success of artificial seedling production. Since then, Olive Flounder production, which was only about 1,000 tons in 1990, has increased to 39,931 tons in 2023, about 40 times more than in 1990. Reaching a Olive Flounder production of around 40,000 tons was possible thanks to continuous policy support and the efforts of officials, including the development and distribution of various aquaculture technologies. Olive Flounder is mainly consumed in restaurants as a live fish, so its price has reacted sensitively to recent external environmental changes. Externally, there are problems such as sluggish domestic consumption due to large and small crises such as decreased exports to Japan, safety issues, financial crisis, and Japan's radioactive contaminated water issue, and weakened competitiveness of the Olive Flounder aquaculture industry due to the increase in imported products for raw fish such as salmon and yellowtail. are emerging. Meanwhile, the high internal mortality rate is also a major factor in worsening the profitability of farmed fish, and many changes are taking place in the Olive Flounder farming industry. A representative example of this can be said to be the recent rapid increase in the number and production of Starry Flounder farmed fish. Accordingly, this study examined the characteristics and recent changes in aquaculture, focusing on the Jeju and Wando regions, which are major Olive Flounder producing regions, and sought development plans to increase the competitiveness of the Olive Flounder aquaculture industry in the future. In particular, this study analyzed and compared the cost structure of Olive Flounder in each major production area for the first time, and identified the challenges facing the Olive Flounder aquaculture industry. Finally, four development directions (reduction of management costs, establishment of Korean-style smart form, customized shipping by region, expansion of safety management and certification system) were presented, and the significance and limitations of this study were described.
