넙치 종자생산업의 수익성 분석

Abstract

This study is a basic research for the development of fisheries seed industry, which is the basis of aquaculture. This study is aimed to understand current status of seed production industry in olive flounder, which is Korea’s representative cultured fish species. Based on the surveyed production and management status, profitability was evaluated by analyzing return on sales(ROS) of 36 farms. The average ROS was estimated to be 34.2%. Although the industry seems to be profitable in current conditions, there are 3 farms that are not profitable, so it is judged that they are suffering management difficulties. Profitability according to changes in survival rate, sales price, and feed cost, which are important factors in profit, was evaluated through sensitivity analysis. As a result, it was found that profitability can drop significantly when variables change slightly. This analysis results are expected to contribute to the stabilization of management and policy establishment in olive flounder seed production industry in the future.
