바다목장을 위한 해양 서식지 개선

Abstract

Aquatic habitat improvement is a key element of the marine ranching program conducted in Korea. There are three types of habitat improvement: Restoration-returning a habitat to its original condition, Rehabilitation-returning a habitat to some other state, and Enhancement-the process of adding something different to a habitat. Several activities for aquatic habitat improvement in our marine ranching program are consistent with Enhancement. Our missions are to monitor the physicochemical environment, document the topography of ranching areas, estimate the production of all marine biota, measure the carrying capacity using an ecosystem model based on the ecological interactions between the biota, and to improve fish habitats by deploying various types of artificial reefs and constructing marine forests.
