Aquaculture, also known as aquafarming, is the controlled process of breeding, rearing, harvesting, and cultivating fish, shellfish, algae, and other aquatic organisms. It is conducted in coastal ocean waters, freshwater ponds, rivers, and on-land tanks. It also involves the production of ornamental fish to support commercial and recreational marine fisheries. It assists in minimizing waste creation by producing feed for fish and shellfish, providing a safe and natural breeding environment to the aquatic population, and optimum usage of agricultural and natural resources. It also aids in food production, restoration of habitats and endangered and threatened species populations, and aquarium building. It provides a sustainable source of seafood, reduces pressure on wild fish populations, and improves food security.

South Korea Aquaculture Market Trends:

The increasing consumption of seafood on account of the rising awareness among individuals about its health benefits represent one of the major factors driving the demand for aquaculture in South Korea. It can also be attributed to the growing number of people that are opting for lean meat and protein rich food like squid, mackerels, sailfin sandfish, and salmon in their daily diets. Moreover, the increasing farming of aquatic animals is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, several measures undertaken by governing agencies to promote sustainable fish farming methods and enhance seafood productivity are contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, the surging prevalence of numerous foodborne illnesses caused due to pathogens present in conventionally cultured fishes is catalyzing the demand for organic food. This, in turn, is propelling the growth of the market in the country. Apart from this, key players operating in South Korea are introducing technologically advanced equipment to monitor the water, analyze fish behavior and manage facility logistics. They are also investing in extensive research and development (R&D) activities, including genetic improvements in the species of finfish, controlling fish reproduction, manipulating chromosomes, and monitoring parasitic diseases in aquatic animals in off-shore and open oceans. Additionally, the growing demand for organic fish oil in different industry verticals, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and nutraceuticals, is creating a positive outlook for the market in the country.
