Led by Professor Sukgeun Jung from Jeju National University in 2012–2014, experts from PR China, Japan, RO Korea and Russia conducted retrospective analysis of climate and oceanographic data collected during the past 40 years. The experts tried to forecast changes in potential production and habitat ranges of major commercial fish species and also tried to evaluate risks and vulnerabilities, induced by climate change, in fishery-dependent sectors of economy across NOWPAP countries.
