[PKNU TODAY]
🌏 Strengthening Research Capacity in Fisheries Biotechnology in the Philippines 🌏

The Ocean and Fisheries Development International Cooperation Institute at Pukyong National University (Project Director: Prof. Kang Kyoung Mi) is strengthening research collaboration with the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) and the Fisheries Biotechnology Center (FBC) in the Philippines.

From July 13–14, the institute visited the Philippines to hold cooperation meetings as part of the Project for Improving the Research Environment and Capacity Building in Fisheries Biotechnology in the Philippines. 🇵🇭

The meetings focused on discussing research priorities, future directions, and implementation strategies for the project. Both sides also explored opportunities for joint research, researcher exchanges, and invitational training programs, while sharing plans to establish a sustainable partnership and strengthen research capacity in fisheries biotechnology.

Supported by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries of the Republic of Korea, the project aims to improve research infrastructure, strengthen the capacity of researchers, and expand science and technology cooperation to support sustainable fisheries development in the Philippines. The project will run from March 2026 through December 2029. 🌊🤝

[PKNU TODAY]
The Visit the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (M*F)🌊

Pukyong National University(PKNU), in partnership with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (M*F) of the Republic of Korea, is proud to operate a Ph.D. Scholarship Program that supports outstanding students from around the world in advancing their expertise in the maritime and fisheries sectors.

On June 30, a group of 13 international Ph.D. students participating in the program (including Indonesian Program) had the opportunity to visit the M*F in Busan. During the visit, they were warmly welcomed by Mr. Shin (Director), Ms. Kang, and Ms. Kim from the International Cooperation Division.

The students attended an informative session introducing the history, organizational structure, and key responsibilities of the Ministry. They also learned about Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) and gained valuable insights into the Ministry's 2026 Official Development Assistance (ODA) projects, which aim to strengthen international cooperation and promote sustainable development in the fisheries and maritime sectors.

Following the presentation, the students toured various facilities within the Ministry, including the office spaces and staff cafeteria, allowing them to gain a better understanding of the Ministry's working environment and daily operations.

This visit provided the students with a deeper understanding of Korea's maritime and fisheries policies and the broader goals of the scholarship program in which they are participating. It also served as a meaningful opportunity to connect their academic research with real-world policy and international cooperation, inspiring them to continue their studies with an even stronger sense of purpose and commitment.

We sincerely thank the M*F for hosting this valuable visit and for its continued support in fostering the next generation of global leaders in the maritime and fisheries field!

[PKNU Today]
Pukyong National University Hosts Tanzania Zanzibar Aquaculture Capacity Building Project (3rd Year Invitational Training Program)

The Pukyong National University International Cooperation Research Center for Marine and Fisheries Development (Director: Prof. Won-Kyu Park) is conducting an invitational training program titled “Capacity Building for Zanzibar Marine Multi-species Hatchery Center on Production of Sea Cucumber, Mud Crab, Milkfish and Live Feed Production in Tanzania” from February 28 to March 13.
The program aims to enhance aquaculture technology capacity for increasing the production of high-value aquaculture species in Zanzibar, Tanzania. This 3rd-year training program follows the 1st-year invitational training and 2nd-year on-site training, providing advanced curriculum based on previous achievements. The program is expected to contribute to the activation of the aquaculture industry in Zanzibar, increase the income of local fishers, and support regional rural economic and social development.

During the training, participants will visit the Busan Fisheries Resources Research Institute, the National Institute of Fisheries Science, the Korea Maritime and Fisheries Training Institute, Raonbada and Suhyup Feed to observe Korea’s aquaculture technology and policy implementation. In addition, visits to Busan Fish Market(Jagalchi Market), Haeundae Marine Tourism Facilities, and Pukyong University training vessel ‘Baekgyeongho’ will provide insights into seafood distribution systems, marine tourism, and human resource development in the marine and fisheries sector.

Pukyong National University Transfers Korea’s Advanced Aquaculture Technology to Tanzania
- Experts, including professors, dispatched to Zanzibar

Pukyong National University (President: Sang-Hoon Bae) has dispatched professors and aquaculture experts to the United Republic of Tanzania to share Korea’s advanced aquaculture technology.

The Ocean and Fisheries Development International Cooperation Institute at Pukyong National University (Director: Professor Wongyu Park) announced that it organized the "Capacity Building for Zanzibar marine Multi-species Hatchery Center on Production of Sea Cucumber, Mud Crab, Milkfish and Alive Production in Tanzania" last August at the marine hatchery facilities in Zanzibar.

Supported by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), the seven-day training program was held from August 10 to 16, with 20 participants, including officials and technicians from the Ministry of Blue Economy and Fisheries of Zanzibar, the State University of Zanzibar, and national research institutes.

Pukyong National University dispatched five aquaculture experts—including professors and researchers from the Busan Fisheries Resources Research Institute—to transfer aquaculture techniques for high-value marine species, such as mud crabs and other crustaceans.

Although Tanzania is a coastal country, it lacks sufficient aquaculture infrastructure and technical capacity, and is therefore pursuing the development of its aquaculture industry through official development assistance (ODA) projects.

As part of a three-year project aimed at increasing the production of high-value aquaculture species in Zanzibar, Pukyong National University conducted an invitational training program last year, followed by this year’s on-site training. Another invitational program is scheduled for next year.

Following the successful completion of the training program, Pukyong National University plans to organize a post-training consulting team composed of experts who participated in the field training. This team will provide monitoring and feedback, while continuing to support the development of aquaculture infrastructure in close cooperation with the Ministry of Blue Economy and Fisheries of Zanzibar.

Professor Wongyu Park, Director of the Ocean and Fisheries Development International Cooperation Institute stated, “With its specialized College of Fisheries Sciences, research institutes, aquaculture laboratories, and professional human resources, as well as its extensive experience in implementing ODA projects in Africa and Pacific island countries, Pukyong National University will continue to play a leading role in transferring Korea’s advanced fisheries technologies to the world.”
