A Comparative Study of Fisheries and Distribution Structures between D.R. Congo and Korea
- Abstract
- The development of the fishery sector in DR Congo and the increase of fish production are in center of this topic as a concern since, the country abounds with big potential of fishery resources but cannot produce enough fish to satisfy the demand of the population.
The study examines the fishery resources between DR Congo and Korea, from the catches, fish farming, management and the distribution systems in both countries. At one hand, the both countries are rich in fishery resources and can provide sufficient fish and make guaranty of food security.
The DR Congo have a potential estimated to produce every year about 700,000 tons of fish, but up to now the present production cannot meet the demand of the population which estimated to 66 million. Up to now there is a real need in the local market, remaining unsatisfied by the current production, and the country is becoming more dependent on import ; about 150,000 tons of the foreign fish are imported every year (Le Potentiel, 2007). The aquaculture which is the secondary sector in fish supply is not too much sustained. There is really a necessity for the country to get technical assistance and expertise to make this industry viable.
The second country studied in this paper is the Republic of South Korea, which has no other natural resources than the surrounding marine fishery resources. With the population estimated to 48,754,657, the country has developed the fishing industry among others to build up the economy. Whilst, the depletion observed in the catches during these last years, some measures have been taken to rebuild up the fish stock and the fish stock rebuilding plan of 2005.
Nevertheless, the development of aquaculture have considerably been intensified and made the second source of fish protein and still researches are made to carry it out ecofriendly.
The fishery management and the seafood distribution structure are examined to show the importance behind the successfulness in fisheries. Owing to the development of the seafood distribution structure, a less developed country such as DR Congo can solve gradually some issues attached to the artisanal fishing and the post-harvest loss.
