This paper aims to explain the direction of a long-range policy for the development of fisheries industry and fishing villages in Korea after the Conclusion of the Uruguay Round Negotiations. When the Uruguay Round Negotiations were concluded last year, the government soon set up the Committee of Farming and Fishing Village Development under the direct control of the President and launched on the development of agriculture and fisheries policy to provide for the post-Uruguay Round. The Committee drew up an all-round policy report, "The Problem and Direction of Agriculture Policy Reform" as a result of the six-month activity of this committee from February through July, 1994 in which the author participated, and presented it to the President. The author rearranged the problems of a long-range policy related to fisheries industry and fishing villages apart from this report, and drew up another report under the title, "Fisheries Policy in Korea after the Conclusion of the Uruguay Round Negotiations : Its Problem and Direction," which was reported at the year 1994 autumn symposium of the Korean Pedagogic Society of Fisheries and Marine Sciences.

The aims of this study were to investigate the level of activity in the elderly residing in city and rural area and to determine the contributing factors to quality of life (QOL). Subjects were 537 who were older than 60 years of age. QOL was assessed by the SF-36, and the level of activity was assessed by the Korean Activity Checklist. QOL in the elderly residing in city was higher than that in the elderly residing in rural area, and the level of activity was also higher in the elderly residing in city in instrumental activities of daily living, low and high level of physical activity, and social activity compared with the elderly residing in rural area. There was a significant correlation between the level of activity and QOL. The contributing factors to QOL were QOL lower level scores, the Korean Activity Checklist scores, health status, and occupation in the elderly residing in city, whereas the contributing factors to QOL were QOL lower level scores, the Korean Activity Checklist scores, health status, age, and level of education in the elderly residing in rural area. From the findings of this study, the environment in that the elderly can enjoy meaningful activity should be constructed and various programs should be developed.

Deep-sea fishery in the Antarctic Ocean has been actively progressed by the developed countries including Korea. In order to prevent the environmental destruction of the Antarctic Ocean, related countries have established the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) and have monitored any illegal unreported or unregulated fishing. Fishing of tooth fish, an expensive fish, in the Antarctic Ocean has increased recently and high catches per unit effort (CPUE) of fishing boats, which is suspicious for an illegal activity, have been frequently reported. The data of CPUEs in a fishing area of the Antarctic Ocean often show an extreme Distribution or a mixture of two extreme distributions. This paper proposes an algorithm to detect an outlier of CPUEs by using the mixture of two extreme distributions. The parameters of the mixture distribution are estimated by the EM algorithm. Log likelihood value and posterior probabilities are used to detect an outlier. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm to detect outlier of the data can be adopted instead of simple criteria such as a CPUE is greater than 1.

Global status of aquaculture and aquaculture scientific journals is briefly described. Asia is the centre of fishing and aquaculture activities but most publishers, editors and editorial board members of fisheries and aquaculture journals are from Europe and/or USA. The contribution by Asian fisheries/aquaculture scientists to these journals remains low. Language barrier and requirement for monitory investment seem to inhibit Asian participation in this realm of scientific activity. The need for glob-alization of aquaculture scientific journals is emphasized. Selected strategies, which are adopted by the Western journals to improve their image and management, are indicated.

According to the Global Wind Report of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) in 2017, global wind power electricity generation capacity has been dramatically developing from 23,900 MW in 2001 to 486,790 MW in 2016. However, wind power generation in South Korea accounts for only 0.2 % of total power generation. Nonetheless, electricity production by wind power generation is soon expected to reach the grid parity where the cost of generating electricity by wind power is equal to the cost of fossil fuels such as oil. In this study, we analyzed the criteria of vessel traffic and fishing activities of major offshore wind farms in Europe where 88 % of the offshore wind power facilities are located. Finally, we suggest critical considerations based on the analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to compare China's and Korea's marine fisheries industries in order to present the main features of China's marine fisheries and show the comparative advantages they have in production. The results indicate that China's marine fisheries have the following features. (1) The marine proportion of the fisheries industry economic activity is less than 60%. Fishing is 71.3% of that marine activity. (2) The production trends of marine fisheries history in China can be classified as follows: 1) an early growth period, 2) a deliberation/consolidation period, 3) a second growth period, 4) a third growth period, and 5) a fourth growth period. The growth rate has rapidly increased recently. (3) Fish production is over 70% of marine fishing fisheries, the next major product is crustacea. The production of shellfish occupies over 70% of marine aquaculture, seaweed production however, is only 22% of total marine aquaculture. (4) The licensed area for marine aquaculture in China is 586.3 ha and that area is 5.4 times larger than that of Korea. The allotted area for shellfish aquaculture is 60% of marine aquaculture, production areas of crustaceans occupy 27.3%, fish has 7 1%, and seaweed production only 5.7% of allocated marine aquaculture areas. (5) The proportion of power vessels for marine fisheries of China's total power vessel fleet is around 65%, and the marine fisheries portion of non - powered vessels constitutes only 12%. The highest proportion of power vessels engaged in marine fisheries activities is between 10 tonnes to 100 tonnes. (6) The portion of marine fishery workers of all fishery industry employees is 22%, and 70% of them are full - time workers. Of marine fishery workers, 64% are in the fishing sector, 22%, aquaculture workers, and the number of employees in marine fisheries is increasing every year. The analysis of China's fishery industry in the production competitiveness indicates as follows : (1) The licensed areas in marine aquaculture, number of fishing vessels, number of marine fishing workers in China's fishery industry are much more than those of Korea's. Therefore China is much more competitive than Korea in the quantity of production side. However, licensed areas for seaweed aquaculture are more extensive in Korea than China. In China, the number of power vessels of between 10 tonnes and 100 tonnes, the licensed shellfish aquaculture areas, and the number of fishing workers within the fisheries industry are much more than those of Korea. (2) It is estimated that the licensed areas in marine aquaculture, number of medium sized power vessels, number of marine fishery workers will be increased as the quantity of production factors grow in China. (3) At present, yield per Ha. in marine cultures is very low in China. Therefore it is estimated that aquaculture techniques have only been diffused recently in China. Yield of fish per Ha especially is much lower than that of Korea. So the level of aquaculture techniques seems much lower than that of Korea. (4) China is behind Korea in production technique, however the number of HP per boat in China is lower than that of Korea. Therefore, China is much more competitive than Korea in Costs. (5) Average fish catches per marine fishery worker in China is only 1/3 that of Korea's, and average marine aquaculture production in China is only 1/2 that of Korea. Therefore we can say Korea is more competitive than China in efficiency. The average income of marine fishery workers in China is higher that that of other Chinese industries. However, the competitiveness of the fisheries industry in China will be increased as more capital is invested and advanced techniques are developed.

History of the fisheries education in the secondary schools in Japan has began in 1901, and it greatly contributed to the development of fishing industry in Japan. Also this education system affected to her some neighboring countries. e.g. Korea, Taiwan, etc. According to the fundamental change of the education system after cease of the 2nd World War, fisheries middle schools were rearranged to fisheries high schools. and the activity of the graduates widely contributed to push up the total catch of fish in Japan to the first world rank since the 1970s. Nevertheless, the education in fisheries high schools is confronted to much problems, because of the rapid decrease of the man power who desires to work in the field of fisheries especially onboard fishing vessels in accordance with the rapid progress of industrialization and service economization. Such problems are taking place not only in Japan but also right now in Korea. To find out some countermeasure against the problems. the auther studied on the present status and the problems confronting in the education of fisheries high schools in Japan through some references. with heartful desires this study to be able to contribute to the sucessive development of the education on fisheries high schools and also the productivity of fisheries in Korea.

We compared the structure of fish community and condition of major fish species in Lake Chungpyung and Lake Paldang, which are relatively shallow, meso-eutrophic, cascading dam reservoirs on the North Han River. Two lakes have wide littoral zone in the lakeside providing similarly good habitat for fishes, whereas fishery and water recreational activities such as motorboating, water skiing are allowed in Lake Chungpyung but are prohibited in Lake Paldang. The average lengths of large size fishes in Lake Chungpyung are shorter than those of same species in Lake Paldang, resulting in the slight distortion of generation distribution of those species in Lake Chungpyung, possibly owing to the active fishery such as fixed shore net fishing, gill net fishing and angling. Meanwhile the condition of fishes represented by the length-weight relationship of fish species did not show the significant differences between two lakes and showed normal condition. To evaluate the impact of physical disturbance such as loud noise and turbulent wave from water recreational activities to fishes precisely, further studies including physiological responses to stress an spawing activity should be needed.
