This paper is to survey the research process and the problems in statistics of The Chronicle of Korea Fishery. The contents of The Chronicle were researched by two groups. One group is the managers of every province, the other group is the officers of every county. The managers performed the literature investigation research and field study and also arranged the reports from the county officers. But the managers seemed not to pay the full attention about the consistency of contents. The main contents about fishery are the number of coastal households and population, the number of fishery households and population, the number of fishing boats and fishing net. The body of The Choronicle and the table of fishing affairs in the appendages must be carefully compared to use the statistics. Though these statistics lack the consistency, the number of fishery households and boats deserves the attention. The fishing households account for less than 3% of all households, and about one third of fishing households has fishing boat.

From the 1890s to the 1900s, Modern Japan investigated the sea of Korea (Joseon Dynasty) several times. The records of investigation result were "Fishery Circumstances of Korean Sea"(1893), "Official Trip Report on Wonsan Area of Korea"(1895), "Nautical Publication of Korea"(1894), "Patrol Reports of Korea Fishery Association"(1898~1900), "Fishery Guide for Korean Sea"(1903) and "Chronicles of Korea Fisheries"(1908~1911). Although these surveys were conducted more than 100 years ago, they provide a glimpse into the fishing situation of Korea as well as the lives of residents in the coastal areas. In particular, Chronicles of Korean Fisheries is a vast collection of four volumes, and it has much to do with the history and culture of Korea, including marine products from the coastal waters, the population of coastal villages, the number of people engaged in fishing, and the number of fishing boats and nets. From the perspective of the development of fisheries studies, the modern classification of marine products after Linne has already been applied, and the classification of those days is quite different from that of the present classification, so it can be said to be an interesting data from the viewpoint of animal and plant taxonomy.
