Jeonnam Marine and Fisheries Research Institute “High water temperature delays the optimal time for seaweed cultivation”

The Jeonnam Provincial Institute of Ocean Science and Technology has announced that due to higher than average water temperatures, the optimal time for seaweed seedlings will be delayed to late September to early October. The water temperature in the Jeonnam sea area is expected to be 2-4℃ higher, affecting the period when temperatures drop below 23℃ and 22℃ for different seaweed types. To ensure stable seedlings and prevent damage, the institute will operate regional consultation centers and provide real-time water temperature and nutrient analysis. Director Kim Chung-nam stressed the importance of monitoring real-time data and harvesting at the optimal time, while promising ongoing guidance and technical support for fishermen.

The Jeonnam Provincial Institute of Ocean Science and Technology announced that the optimal time for seaweed seedlings is expected to be later than average, after late September and early October, due to higher water temperatures than average this year. This year, the water temperature in the Jeonnam sea area is expected to be 2~4℃ higher than average, and the water temperature drop period, which is expected to be below 23℃ (Itbadidol Gim) and below 22℃ (Momundol Gim and Radial Gim), is expected to be somewhat delayed. The Jeonnam Provincial Institute of Ocean Science and Technology plans to operate a seaweed seedling consultation center for each region for the purpose of stable seedlings and prevention of damage from high temperatures in the early stages of aquaculture, such as the maturity of the shell filamentous body and disease management, and provide real-time information on water temperature and nutrient analysis.
