Headline The Korean Fishing Industry

Caption Description Next to agriculture, the fishing industry is the biggest source of food for the Republic of Korea. It not only provides about 65 per cent of the animal protein needed by the people but also constitutes a major source of foreign exchange. Much fishing gear and about a tenth of the fishing fleet were lost during the fighting in Korea. In 1953, the yearly catch recovered to 266,000 metric tons from 219,000 in 1950, but it must reach between 400 and 450,000 metric tons to meet domestic and export needs. More fishing craft and marine engines are therefore urgently needed. So are nets, ropes, other gear and materials for making ice to preserve the fish. Last year, the UN Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) budgeted $1,900,000 for the industry. Its projects include rebuilding the wholesale fish markets at Seoul and Inchon, and construction of twenty-three fishing vessels. In addition, the Agency has set up a revolving fund to make loans for purchasing new fishing boats and repairing existing craft.
This photograph shows Korean fishing craft at anchor in the ""Yang-do"" fishing harbour in Pusan.
