Gapryeongho is a fishing company located at 87-19 Beollihandeul-gil, Sacheon-si, Gyeongnam. It is operated by CEO Jeong Heung-ja with 5 employees, primarily engaged in coastal gillnet, coastal composite, and coastal pot fishing.

Business Areas

• Coastal Gillnet Fishing: Coastal gillnet fishing is a method of catching seafood using net traps in waters not far from the coast. Nets are set in the path of fish, catching them by entanglement in the mesh. Operations are primarily conducted with fishing vessels under 10 gross tons.
• Coastal Composite Fishing: Coastal composite fishing refers to performing various fishing methods in combination with one non-powered or powered fishing vessel. This includes fishing methods such as longline fishing, single-line fishing, jigging, as well as octopus pot fishing and shellfish pot fishing.
• Coastal Pot Fishing: Coastal pot fishing is a method of operating in waters not far from the coast using pots, which are cylindrical fishing devices. It primarily uses bait to attract target organisms, and octopuses, shrimp, blue crabs, and conger eels are caught using pots.

Products

• Flounder: One of the representative seafood caught through coastal gillnet fishing, it is caught by getting hooked or entangled in the mesh.
• Octopus and other shellfish: Through octopus pot fishing or shellfish pot fishing, which are part of coastal composite fishing, various shellfish such as octopuses, conchs, and whelks can be caught.
• Conger eel, small octopus, blue crab: These are seafood primarily caught through coastal pot fishing. Due to the nature of pot fishing, catches have fewer injuries and tend to have high freshness.

Special Notes

• Utilization of diverse fishing methods: By combining various fishing methods such as coastal gillnet, coastal composite, and coastal pot fishing, it is possible to catch diverse fish species and respond flexibly to changes in the fishing environment. This can contribute to securing stable catches.
• Maintaining high freshness of catches: Coastal pot fishing, in particular, does not involve catches getting entangled in nets, resulting in fewer injuries and maintaining high freshness. This can be an advantageous point for selling high-value seafood.
• Efficiency of small-scale fishing vessel operation: Coastal fishing allows for efficient operation even with small-scale fishing vessels, using relatively low fuel consumption and simple fishing gear. This can be a strength in terms of reducing operating costs and accessibility.
