Abstract

In the closing days of the Yi Dynasty, the coastal fishery in Korea is a subject of pillage, because Korean's capacity of fishery-development is extremely low even though it is rich in fisheries resources. Especially Japanese imperialism completely trampled our coastal fishery down by a lot of Japanese fishers going out fishing to Korea sea area. And the scholars estimate the leadership of Korea sea fishery was taken in the hands of Japan already before the Korea-Japan annexation. For example, the total output of Japanese fishers who going out fishing to Korea sea area has surpassed Korean fishers in a catch of fish. However, it is confirmed Chinese had dispossessed our fishes resources for a long time before Japanese done at the Korean west coast. Because we just focused on Japan in researches of foreign fishers who going out fishing to Korea sea area, the problem of Chinese fishers did not receive the attention. Chinese academics is also similar to the Korean academics. 1The fishery of Chinese fishers who going out fishing to Korea sea area is a kind of poaching which it comes out in the west coast of Pyeongannam-do, Pyeonganbuk-do, and Hwanghea-do. And also it is manifest in the data of documents which they committed smuggling audaciously. Furthermore, this kinds of situations confirmed at the north coast of South Korea and the west coast of South Korea such as Eocheongdo and Kokunsankundo. In this thesis, I recorded the realities of Chinese and Japanese fishery in detail based on lots of materials at the coast of kokunsankundo and Eocheongdo in the Closing days of the Yi Dynasty.
