Minseongho is a 4-person inland fisheries company located in Dolsan-eup, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do. It primarily engages in the business of catching marine products through coastal composite fishing and coastal gillnet fishing.

Business Areas

• Coastal Composite Fishing: Coastal composite fishing is a fishing method that uses various fishing techniques in combination, such as angling, octopus pot fishing, and shellfish shell fishing, using non-powered or powered fishing vessels under 10 gross tons. Through this, various types of aquatic animals are caught.
• Coastal Gillnet Fishing: Coastal gillnet fishing is a fishing method that uses one non-powered or powered fishing vessel under 10 gross tons to catch aquatic animals using driftnets (nets that move with the current) or fixed gillnets (nets fixed in one place). It is mainly carried out in coastal waters.

💡 A Word from JobPloy
Foreign workers employed by small coastal fishing companies like Minseongho primarily board fishing vessels and participate in coastal composite and coastal gillnet operations. The Korean fishing industry has a high reliance on foreign workers due to an aging workforce and labor shortages. The work is physically demanding, involves long hours at sea, and is heavily influenced by weather conditions. Due to the nature of fishing, welfare benefits are likely to be primarily statutory benefits (such as the four major insurances), and strict adherence to work safety rules and cooperation with colleagues are important.
