아쿠아리움 산업 발전에 따른 관상어 관리 체계의 개선

Abstract

Improving the standard of living worldwide, ornamental fish and aquarium industrial scale have been increased. However, almost supplying aquarium fish depended on importation. So research of ornamental fish and development of alternative will be required. In Korea, some fish species included indigenous species or neritic organism, which have high exhibition value, were required for further development as the ornamental fish, but, output and species of fish were limited and research of that were to seek because of edible fish-centered aquaculture in Korea. For special aquarium fish research with development of human resources, organized education program will be required. Also, the aquarium have to grow for reducing dependency on import and being a role of carrying out social service with government. Quarantine for preventing foreign pathogen inflow was required after import and output of ornamental fish had been increased. After establishing "the law of management of fish disease", ornamental fish were included in quarantine and so import aquarium fish from various countries was difficult. It will be required that establish a state-run ornamental fish quarantine system go through supply companies which have enough sanitation, quarantine facilities. After quarantine of ornamental fish, it will be important to control the fish after carrying into aquarium. Also, disinfection management before carrying into water tank will be important because of immunosuppression and imported infection by transportation process. Although increasing fish drugs’ use, the approved range of fish drugs was narrow and drug’s misuse and abuse occurred because fish treatment in aquarium was defined as self-care in Korea. For systematization of disease prevention of epidemics in aquarium, systematic management of drug’s use monitoring and control will be required that aquatic animal disease inspector will be included in required manpower of aquarium via . “the law of zoo and aquarium” and treatment in aquarium have to be excluded from self-care. Also, the most important task will be policy support of cultivate men of aquatic animal disease inspector and providing continuous special education in aquarium via changing role of aquatic animal disease inspector.
