President’s Message

We arethe driving force to enrich oceans and fisheries industry

Human beings are directly and indirectly depend-ent on the sea. As the lung of the earth, the sea hasprovided primary proteins to over 1 billion peopleacross the globe. Korea has enjoyed more benefitsfrom the sea than other countries in an earlier era.

Unfortunately, however, the sea is now at graverisk due to unhealthy marine ecosystem caused byclimate change. A sharp drop in fish production hasbeen caused by overexploitation and intensivecompetition among nations to occupy more re-sources of the sea.

NIFS, the leading national institute fully dedicatedto R&D on fisheries and oceans, carries out myri-ads of research to sustain and enrich the benefitsthat the sea has brought to human beings for ages.We are primarily committed to coping with climatechange, developing overseas and coastal fishinggrounds, monitoring marine ecosystems, creatingadvanced fishing gears and methods, building andmanaging fisheries resources and developing aqua-culture technologies. We also spare no effort in re-sponding to FTAs, developing and enhancingstrategic items for export, ensuring seafood safetyand undertaking a variety of tasks associated withnational fisheries policy. The overall goals of ourinstitute are to further grow the fisheries industryand to create more income for fishermen and fish-ing communities.

We will continue to value your opinions and sug-gestions to accomplish our overall goal.

Thank you.

Advanced aquaculturetechnologyBiofloc Technology (BFT)Biofloc consists of a variety of bacteria,fungi, microalgae, detritus and othersuspended organisms. Microorgan-isms purify water by assimilating am-monia excretions to bacterial proteinsand are fed to culture species again.Biofloc creates more income for fisher-men. Its productivity is 30-50 timeshigher than that of pond culture. Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS)RAS practices zero or minimal waterexchange. Instead, it purifies waterthrough physical and biological filtra-tion and sterilization. It is the next-generation aquaculture system. It ishighly advanced and eco-friendly. Wewill double our efforts not only to de-velop water treatment system butalso to enhance our research to au-tomate the system. This will help usdevelop and disseminate an energyefficient RAS system that enables usto produce safe and highly value-added culture species all year round.

Development and commercializa-tion of genetically improved culturespecies By analyzing the genetic diversity ofwild and cultured broodstocks andconducting research to develop pater-nity test technology using genetic mark-ers, we have developed fast growingspecies (olive flounder and abalone)and distributed their fertilization eggsand hatched larvae.

In addition, westrive to step up the competitivenessof aquaculture products by creating amanual on effective breeding man-agement and supply program for for-mulated feed.

Safety enhancement of aquatic medicinesTo secure the safety of fishery prod-ucts and control aquatic life diseases,we are developing highly efficientaquatic drugs and disease preventa-ble vaccines. We are also working ondeveloping aquatic drugs using med-ical herbs in order to prevent theabuse and overuse of aquatic antibi-otics. We will also take the lead in de-veloping world-class vaccines bysecuring the original technology ofaquatic vaccines.

Development of aquatic seeds andrestoration of fisheries resources The Golden-Seed Project (GSP) hasbeen carried out to build strong foun-dations for aquaculture. GSP supportsresearches to develop not only supe-rior seeds but also new seeds of oliveflounder, groupers, abalone and laver.We will also commit ourselves torestoring pollack in the East Sea bydeveloping seed production tech-nologies, monitoring diseases and de-veloping low-temperature live foodorganisms with practically formulatedfeed. Responding to FTAIn responding to FTAs that we haveconcluded with many states, we arelaying the foundation for researches tominimize potential damages the FTAsmight bring about and strengthen thecompetitiveness of our fishery prod-ucts in the global market. Our keytasks are to develop seed productiontechnology for stable production andsupply of fishery products, to accom-plish the automation of aquacultureto lower production costs and to de-velop processing technology of aqua-culture products and local brandproducts that are customized to meetthe consumption trends of countriesof export.

Systemic survey andmanagement of fisheriesresources Scientific survey and assessmenton fisheries resourcesWe survey, assess and manage fish-eries resources considering their eco-logical characteristics for sustainableuse and conservation of fisheries re-sources in coastal waters. We also pro-vide information on fishing condition,suggest catch policies that reflect eco-logical characteristics of fish, performstock assessment and managementof species that need to be restored, es-timate total allowable catch and sur-vey marine mammals.

International fisheries organizations with Korea asits member state

Forecast of fishing conditionin Korean watersWe provide scientific forecasting infor-mation about monthly and seasonalabundance, migration period andfishing areas of the major species, inthe attempt to use them in a sustain-able and effective manner. Securement of catch quota of distant water fisheries We perform stock assessment andmanagement by working with inter-national communities for the stablesupply and securement of fisheries re-sources from distant water fisheries.We also develop strategies to facilitatetasks with international fisheries or-ganizations and find ways to effec-tively manage fisheries resources.Through international scientific ob-server program, we strive to conserveand mange marine animals that areon the protection list such as sea birdsand marine turtles.

Conservation and use offisheries resourcesIntegrated information management system forfisheries resourcesKeeping up with the global trend tostrengthen sovereignty over naturaland genetic resources in many coun-tries, Korea enforced a relevant law in2012 to manage information aboutfisheries and genetic resources throughthe Marine Genetics Resource Data-base. Development of biomaterials from aquatic life and study transformation Marine life-based effective bio materialswith high activity are the core of futurebiotechnology. We are using genetic in-formation obtained from genome se-quencing and performing analysis ofeffective aquatic organisms to developfuture aquaculture technologies andstudy the biological phenomenon ofaquatic life. Analysis of the characteristicsand utilization of marine genetics resources We are establishing a gene identifica-tion system to identify the country oforigin of domestic and imported fish-ery products. To that end, we are con-ducting population genetics analysisand developing DNA markers and mo-lecular identification technologies thatcan help us figure out the original pop-ulation of composite food. We alsoarrange imported fishery products ac-cording to their species and search ge-netic information about them.

Development of energy-savingfisheries technologiesOur research focuses on reducing theresistance and improving the perform-ance of fishing boats for safe fishing ac-tivities. Additional research endeavorsinclude modernizing costal fishingboats, developing highly efficient LEDfish-luring lamps and recycling ther-moelectric modules-based wasteheat. This will not only help us savefuel and fishing operation costs butalso help us cut carbon emissions. Development of fisheries-ICTconverged technologiesWe have conducted research to applyICT for fisheries to advance its infra-structure and services. To that end, weare working on putting in place amanagement system to set net fish-eries and automatic feeders based onInternet of Things (IoT) and wearablemobile devices. Developing variousfishing tools and equipment that canbe used in the fields is another focusof our research.

Study on eco-friendlyfishing using advancedtechnologiesDevelopment of eco-friendlyfishing gears for sustainable fisheriesThe abandoned, lost or discardedfishing gears (ALDFG) made frompolyamide and polyethylene are theroot causes of ghost fishing, deterio-ration of fishing grounds and shrink-ing fisheries resources. To preventproblems caused by ALDFG, we havedeveloped biodegradable fishinggears that can be decomposed in sea-water without harmful impacts on themarine ecosystem. Such technologyalong with eco-friendly fishing meth-ods will help us realize sustainablefisheries.

It is obvious that global warming has changed the seawater temperature of Korea. Since the1960s, NIFS has monitored and forecasted changes observed in the marine environment of Koreato provide information to fishermen in real-time. Such information is invaluable in establishing national ocean policies and conserving marine ecosystems.

Investigation and forecasting of changes incoastal marine environmentMonitoring of coastal marineecosystemWe have established a NIFS Serial Oceano-graphic Observation System (NSO) to carryout regular observation on marine environ-ments using satellites and autonomousobservation equipment. We are also oper-ating an information database on oceansand fisheries. Using collected data and anocean circulation model, we are develop-ing an ocean forecast model. Mitigating fisheries damages causedby climate changeClimate change has caused growing dam-ages to coastal fisheries. To address thisproblem, we provide real-time ocean in-formation to fishermen and establishshort-term ocean models. Additional tasksinclude studying the interaction betweenatmosphere and ocean and finding waysto provide necessary information to peo-ple using ICT.

pearance of harmful organisms. Wealso study their physio- ecology to de-velop technology to help minimizedamages caused by them and their in-teraction with marine environments. Commercialization of eco-friendly red-tide control materials and field applicationClay dispersal has been a primarymeasure to control red tide. However,it has caused marine pollution. Thus,we are working on alternative materi-als to replace it. Our mission is to de-velop new and effective materials tocontrol red tide through evaluatingtheir field applicability and implica-tions in benthic ecosystems and cul-ture species. Study of new harmful organismsintroduced by climate change Ballast water discharged by ships andinvasive species entering into Koreanwater following currents are risk fac-tors to our seas. These harmful organ-isms including toxic plankton andvenomous jellyfish destroy marineecosystems and disrupt marine leisureactivities of people. To address theseproblems, we have established andoperated a systemic observation sys-tem to track the appearance and ori-gin of invasive species.
