This study aims to analyze the income structure, cost structure, and profit structure based on data related to the business performance of the boat seine fishery from 1990 to 2020, and to identify the direct and indirect factors affecting fishery profitability through panel regression analysis. The main analysis results are as follows. First, it was found that fish catch has a significant amount of impact on fishery profitability, which is a key factor in improving the profitability of anchovy boat seine fishery. Second, it is necessary to develop carbon-reduced fishing gear, develop fleet-reduced fishing gear, and improve the operating system in order to increase fishery profitability for the short run. Third, it is necessary to create and maintain sustainable profitability for the long run, the continuous fishing vessels buyback program, an active responses to climate change, and the follow-up investigations about marine aggregate extraction in the south sea EEZ are needed.

This study aims to analyze economic impacts for changes in the oil cost of the anchovy boat seine fisheries in South Korea. As analytical approach, this study employs the exponential surplus production model to estimate the maximum sustainable yield and also utilizes the bioeconomic model to calculate changes in producer surplus of the anchovy boat seine fisheries under the open access responding to changes in the oil cost. As the result of analysis, increases in the oil cost due to prohibition of duty-free oil supply result in the negative impacts to the producer surplus of the anchovy boat seine fisheries in South Korea. However, increases in the oil cost of the anchovy boat seine fisheries lead voluntary exit to fishermen which can no more run their business. As a result, this study shows that fishing efforts of the anchovy boat seine fisheries reduce under the fishing efforts of the maximum sustainable yield ($F_{MSY}$) and stock of the anchovy increases.

It is more than half a century since anchovy boat seine has been introduced in Korean fishery to catch anchovies, but the study on it was began in 1970's by the authors. In 1971, the authors carried out an experiment about the net formation of the traditional gear in tow by using model net, and in 1978, about the patti net gear, commercially used in Japan. Now, the authors investigated the new model net, model 79, expecting to be suitable for commercial fishery in Korea, with the strong point of those two gears kept and the weak point of them corrected. The experimental gear was constructed attached the long net pendants to the fore end of extension wing by shortening its length in two-third of the traditional gear. Inside wing was improved so as to show high opening in tow. Rubber bobbins and hanging rings are used to prevent the heavy friction of bosom ground rope against the sea bed. The gear was used to catch anchovies in the commercial fishing ground in the south-eastern coastal waters of Korea, from May to October in 1979. From the experiment, the following results are found. 1. In opening height, the experimented gear was 30 percent greater than the traditional one. 2. It took 3 to 5 minutes for the bosom ground rope to sink from the surface to the sea bed, while 10 to 15 minutes for the traditional gear to do. 3. Ground rope never scooped mud, even in the muddy sea bed. 4. The gear showed better catchability than the traditional gear.
