Nowadays managers of fisheries enterprises and users of accounting information have a considerable interest in the fishery right. The fishery right, which is given by administrative quarters, is referred to exclusive fishing right in a certain coastal fishing ground, and it has been one of the property rights since the turn of the century. The main purpose of this study is to provide an improved accounting method of the fishery right from the side of accounting. To achieve this purpose, legal nature of the fishery right should be understood in the first place, for the fishery right, an intangible asset, is a sort of property right guaranteed by the fisheries laws, According to the basic law in the fisheries "Fisheries Law, " the fishery right is broken down largely into three categories; culture fishing right, set fishing right and common fishing right. The legal characteristics of these fishery rights are as followings: 1. The fishery right is a private right. 2. The fishery right is a property right. 3. The fishery right is a right in rem, and legal provisions pertaining to land are applied to the fishery right with necessary modifications. In addition to the above fishery rights, the Fisheries Law provides some provisions on the so-called entrance right, and those who obtained the right are authorized to access to a certain common fishing right fishing ground where they have been traditionally fishing. In the inland fisheries, the fishery right system similar to that of the coastal fisheries discussed above is adopted in conformity with the Inland Fisheries Developing and Expediting Law. Viewing from an angle of accounting, there are two kinds of additional fishing rights which are dealt as assets. These fishery rights dealt as asset include the license of entry in the so-called permitted fishing which is also called as fishery right in plain language, and tile entrance right obtained abroad. Although these two kinds of rights are not the fishery right from a viewpoint of law, they are regarded as fishing rights in accounting which intends to provide a useful economic information.formation.

As the UN Fish Stocks Agreement has come into effect since 2001, the actual enforceable management on fish stocks in high seas has started. The Regioanl Fisheries Organizations (RFOs) have emerged as management bodies with a real responsible right to manage fish stocks. RFOs establish a strong and strict management rules providing a fishing right only to member countries and preventing all fishing activities from fishing vessels of non-member countries. In addition, RFOs have an own allocation way of fishing opportunity in their waters so that they can prevent the depletion of fish stocks. It is investigated that deep-sea fisheries have a negative impact from strengthening of RFOs' management right. As the amount of catch is reduced by the control of fishing vessel's activities, the level of fishing revenue becomes low. Moreover, as fishing costs such as oil, fishing fees, labor cost increase significantly, the condition of fishing business is getting worse as a result. In order to gain a fishing right for deep-sea fishing vessels in RFOs waters, there is no other alternative way but become a member of RFOs which are relevant to our fisheries but not joined.

The paper attempts to analize the economic situations of the coastal fishing business contering on the fishery right fisheries. Fisheries in Korea are usally divided in to three categories according to the distance fishing grounds; namely, coastal fisheries, off -shore fisheries and deep-sea fisheries. The fishery right fisheries fall into the category of the coastal fisheries, and include five typs of fisheries: 1. Class 1 common fishing 2. Class 2 common fishing 3. Class 3 common fishing. 4. Set-net fishing. 5. Aquarculture fishing. These fisheries have been stagnated mainly due to traditional fishing methods, unskilled labor forces, shortage of capital, and lack of the technological improvements. Owing to these factors their profitabilities of the fishing businesses have been steadly lowered. The main purpose of this paper is to point out the measures required in developing the fishery right fisheries. Economic performances were estimated for 1976 with data collected in the late 1977.

This study is concerned with the identification of the concepts and characteristics of the traditional access of small scale fishery and traditional small scale fishery based on the classification of fisheries under Fisheries Law, As we called, these fisheries are the small scale of artisanal fisheries. These traditional small scale of artisanal fisheries have been developed throughout the most coastal fisheries but have never been included the institutional fishery system and policy since industrial fisheries have been exploited. By this reason there was no studies to understand and identify these fisheries as fisheries under category of institutional fishery system. Recently by the Fisheries Law, my Person who desires to operate these fisheries, shall report to the provincial governor and then these fisheries were incorporated into the category of fisheries to be reported. But this case of the administrative practices should be not consistent with the classification of fisheries under Fisheries Law. The traditional access of small scale fishery is a derivative concept of fishery categories under the institutional fakery system Because this fishery under institutional fishery system can not be establish the right of fishing by fishery right system technically but the right of fishing is supported by the fishing access system only. Therefore, It is a mistake for the provincial fishery governor to adopt such a policy that the fishing right of the traditional access of small scale fishery which is different from the fishing based right is restricted by the factors of fisheries to be reported. On the other hand the traditional small scale fishery is coincident with the traditional access of small scale fishery and the common fishery under the style of utilization of fishing gear and fishing gear and methods. But this fishery has never been included the fishery categories supported by the government subsidy policies and considerations and has been remained with indifference during the last few decades. Anyhow the fishing right of these fisheries have been assured under the institutional fishery system, any person who desires to operate this fishery should have a fishing right against the public or private uses of fishing ground such as land reclamations and other coastal zone development. A deprivation of the fishing right of this fishery by the conflicts of these public and private uses of fishing ground is not regarded as appropriate according to the social welfare policy. Also it is the administrative expediency to support the fishing right of this fishery under the fisheries lobe reported.

The government is largely responsible for preventing “the tragedy of the common property”, but fisherman's effort fer an autonomous fishery control is equally required. Especially in these days of EEZ such self- regulated fishery management system should be developed and cared for as well. This study aimed to explore a proper management system for coastal fishing ground that now requires the responsible fisheries management by investigating and analysing more drastically the managerial functions of fishery right by Eochon-Gye(the smallest unit of fisheries cooperative based on a fishing village), a typical fishery producer's organization in Korea. This study also included such contents as (1) an understanding of fishery producer's organization, (2) the utilization and management system of coastal fishing ground, (3) the actual condition of fishing right distribution in Korea, (4) the fishery right management and activity of Eochon-Gye, (5) the operation and distinctive feature of fishery right in Japan, (6) the intervention and limit of fishery producer's organization for fishing ground management function, and (7) summary and proposal. We made all Eochon-Gye of the whole country an object of this study and carried out an investigation into Eochon-Gye through a questionnaire. We extracted 359 Eochon-Gye, 20% of the total 1,719 Eochon-Gye as a random sample and investigated these regions through a questionnaire by mail. The contents of the questions consist of 40 items, including six categories about the organization of eochon-gye, and fishing ground management and activities.

Since South Korea did not adopt the recreation fishing using right (coupon) system, there were no recreation fishing statistics. This study selected 480 fishing vessels (10.4%) of a total of 4,611 fishing vessels (as of December 2019) as a survey sample using stratified sampling. Unlike other research institutes that conducted surveys related to the amount of tide on a one-time, this survey was conducted for five months (from May to October 2020, except the month of August). The captain investigated about types of fish, size, weight, etc. to anglers. A difference from previous studies was that about 7.0 million angler population (fishing more than three times a week) had 19.4 kg of catch per person for a year while other studies showed about 25.5-52.0 kg, respectively. The total fisheries resource catch amount was analyzed to be about 95,000 tons in this study and 116,000-166,000 tons in other studies. So there was a difference of about 1.2 to 1.8 times. This study aims to lay the foundation for the development of the fishing industry by preparing accurate statistical data and securing reliable basic statistics related to the fishing industry. Also, it could be usefully used as basic policy data such as introduction of a fishing using right (coupon) system.

The purpose of this research is to define the problems of the Fisheries Census of Korea and to make better policies for improvement. In order to complete the purpose, the research team has firstly conducted a survey in the six regions to reinvestigate the yes or no for accuracy of the primary data related to the Fisheries Census. Moreover, the team has defined the problems of the Fisheries Census through conducting a survey for the experts and users of the fisheries statistics. Also, the team has derived the short/long term improvement of Fisheries Census through out this survey. This study has proposed that the name of census should be changed from the Fisheries Census to the Fishing Industry Census, the owners of distribution & processing companies, and their employees should be included in order to figure out the total size of the fishing industry and to plan right policies. In addition, the right information can evaluate the long-term planning for the fishing industry. The proposals from this study require a lot of changes on the Fisheries Census; so, it is impossible to adopt the proposals right from the Fisheries Census of 2015. Therefore, the changes should be adopted from the next Fisheries Census.

The illegal fishery act committed Chinese fishing vessels have not been stopped and Korea Coast Guard(KCG) has been injured or killed by chinese fishing forces, even though the Korean Government has been trying to control the illegal fishery and repeated violent act committed by Chinese fishing vessels in our Exclusive Economic Zone. Moreover, some problems in relation to the control process of KCG to suppress the illegal foreign fishing vessels has been exposed in spite of extensive efforts of Korean Government. Improper law enforcement of KCG in relation to foreign fishing vessels would cause international dispute between related states, although the control process to the illegal fishing vessels at sea is in a way of due law enforcement process forming a State's power. To this end, this paper examines the problems raised during the control process which is including the visit and inspection of illegal Chinese fishing vessels and law enforcement process exercised by KCG and presents practical solutions through analyzing the related materials, professional's opinion and recent cases.

Ocean resources have a very important role to meet the requirements of the people's leisure activities in a limited country, so fishing villages and fishing ports are getting more and more important as a source of supply to satisfy the demands as time goes on. There are various and far-reaching approaches to the fishing villages and fishing ports. However, studies to present the over-all direction of development policy for fishing villages and fishing ports have been short; especially the studies which have been dealing with Busan were verified to be very short relatively. As a result of survey, both officials in charge and residents in fishing villages have an enough understanding of what problems the development of fishing villages have and it's direction of development and spreading effects. In the part of the policy of developing fishing ports, officials answered that insufficient synthetic estimation was main problem in developing the fishing ports, while residents had a high recognition that local fishing ports and small scale fishing ports have had poor progress relatively. In the analysis of difference between two group about the spreading effects of developing fishing villages and fishing ports, they had affirmative opinions rather than negative ones without exemption. As mentioned above, it is a right direction to develop the existing fishing ports as well as new fishing ones to the multi-functional synthetic fishing ports. The specialized development should be made so that the special quality of coastal resources, which fishing villages have, will be made the best use of.
