Business sectors

• Coastal Fisheries: Coastal fisheries include fishing activities involving the capture of aquatic animals using fishing gear, such as traps, with fishing vessels having a gross tonnage of less than 10 tons. Jang Sin-ho primarily conducts fishing operations along the southwestern coast.
• Trap fishing: Trap fishing is a fishing method that uses bait to lure target animals into a trap, and utilizes a trap structured in such a way that once the animals enter, it is difficult for them to return. Various marine products such as octopuses, conch shells, and blue crabs are caught.

Products

• Octopus: It is one of the fish species mainly caught using traps on the southern coast, and fishing is carried out except during a specific closed season (June 1 to June 30, varying by region).
• Whelk: It is one of the major seafood caught through trap fishing. Traps are used to lure whelks by placing bait into them.
• Blue Crab: Primarily caught using traps in the waters of the West and South Seas, with spring and autumn being the main fishing seasons. A fishing ban applies during the spawning season from June 21 to August 20.

💡 A word from Jobploy
Jang Sin-ho is a small-scale coastal trap fishing business operating in the Buan region of Jeonbuk, catching octopus, conch, blue crab, and other marine life. Fishing is a profession where the types of fish caught vary by season and are heavily influenced by sea weather. Setting up and hauling in traps can be physically demanding, and frequent early morning fishing can make it difficult to maintain a regular lifestyle. However, you can experience the rewarding satisfaction of personally catching fresh seafood. Strict adherence to safety regulations, an understanding of fishing activities, and strong physical stamina are required.
