Recently, the consumption of duck meat has been gradually increased in Korea. However, most of the duck breeds in Korea were imported from overseas. Based on the large demands for the breeding stocks of native ducks, a new project for the commercial use of the Korean native ducks has been launched. For the initial investigation of the relationships between Korean native duck (KND) with other duck breeds, the sequences from D-loop control region in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was used. The results from phylogenetic analysis indicated that both KND and White Commercial Duck (WCD) breeds were classified well with wild duck breeds. However, mallard duck was not discriminated well with KND. The haplotype analysis indicated that KND and WCD have eight different haplotypes with eleven SNPs. Three haplotypes (haplotype 1, 3, 4) were shared both in KND and WCD. On the other hand, haplotype 1 was appeared only KND and haplotype 5, 6, 7, 8 were identified only in WCD population. With further verifications, the results presented here can be used for the conservation and commercialization of the Korean native ducks.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the criteria to public welfare service support for improving life quality of the haenyeo (female divers) through analyzing public welfare services and desires of the haenyeo in Jeju, Busan, and Tongyeong. Accordingly, research period was set from May 11 to June 21, 2010. The haenyeo in each region of Jeju, Yeongdo-gu (Busan), Tongyeong-si were selected as subjects. Recording of interviewing methods was used to recognize current status of public welfare. We analyzed by comparing desires of the haenyeo to public welfare services by dividing them economically, medically, educationally, and culturally. As a result of researching public welfare services to the haenyeo in each region, supports for protection of diving, growing area, public welfare service for aged diving haenyeo, and medical service were conducted. Tewak protecting net, Seonjinji visiting, and welfare facilities are supported in Busan-si but there is no support in Tongyeong-si. Therefore, desires of the haenyeo to such public welfare services are as followings: First, the desires of the haenyeo in Jeju to economic supports are indicated as supports for haenyeo experience spot, diving suit, and overseas visiting. To educational supports, it is indicated as supports for identity education, diving disease prevention education, and foreign language education. To cultural supports, it is indicated as supports for installation of welfare hall and exchange visit to foreign haenyeo culture. Second, in Busan, there were desires to establish changing room and fishery sales lot and to support diving suit as for economic supports, desires to support diving disease and medical benefits as for medical supports, desires to education of diving skill as for educational supports, and desires to establish welfare hall and haenyeo museum as for cultural supports. Third, in Tongyeong where public welfare services to the haenyeo are very poor, there were desires to support diving suit and to support changing room as for economic supports, as same as in Busan, desires to support diving disease and medical benefits as for medical supports.
