The South Korean government is aiming to develop a bluefin tuna farming industry in Jeju, by forming a research cluster comprised of government research institutes and private fishing groups.
The National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI), Jeju Ocean and Fishery Institute and Gyeongsangnam-do Fisheries Resources Research Institute reached an agreement to form a tuna farming research cluster with five private companies on March 25, reported The Korea Bizwire.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Future Farming Research Center, under the auspices of the NFRDI, will be responsible for overseeing the research cluster’s operations, while the two provincial research institutes will develop skills to produce tuna larvae and provide tuna fry for test farming.
