Introduction

BackgroundPoised on the edge of the Pacific Rim, nearly equidistant to the major trading centers of Asia, Europeand North America, Anchorage, Alaska is home to one of the busiest and most important air cargoairports in the world. This is particularly true in the case of trans-Pacific cargo movements: more than90 percent of cargo freighter flights crossing the ocean transit through Anchorage to and from desti-nation cities in the “Lower 48” states.

At the same time, Alaska possesses the world’s largest commercial fishery. In 1996, worldwideexports of Alaskan seafood exceeded $1 billion. Each year more than 5 billion pounds of Alaskanseafood is harvested. This represents 56 percent of total U.S. volume and 95 percent of the nation’ssalmon production.

An abundant supply of a wide variety of seafood, coupled with strong air cargo connections, pro-vides Alaska with the building blocks upon which to develop a competitive position in key overseasmarkets.

Traditionally, the lion’s share of Alaska’s seafood exports have gone to Japan. While Japan remainsAlaska’s largest customer, other Asian nations are now emerging as significant new markets forAlaskan seafood.

The purpose of this report is to provide information on the opportunity for Alaskan companies toexport expanded quantities of fresh and live Alaskan seafood products to Korea. It is the first in aseries of three such reports that will focus specifically on fresh and live export opportunities. Theother two will provide similar information on the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets.

The goal of these reports is to provide practical, “nuts and bolts” information to Alaskan exporters,Asian importers and the cargo carriers and freight forwarders who link them together. A betterunderstanding of the opportunity should help expand fresh and live seafood exports in the months andyears ahead.

The ReportThis report consists of six sections. The first section provides an overview of the current economicclimate in Korea. Section two is a species-by-species look at the market situation in Korea forAlaskan seafood products that are either currently being imported or that research indicates havesignificant import potential. A detailed listing of Korean importers is found in section three. This isfollowed in section four by a listing of Alaskan exporters. Section five provides contact informationfor the freight forwarders and airlines at Anchorage that provide transportation services to the sea-food industry. Section six contains species reference data.

MethodolgyRecent import liberalizations coupled with rising demand for fresh and live seafood products pre-sented a challenge in collecting historical data on the fresh and live markets in Korea. Where pos-

sible, data compiled by Korean and U.S. government sources is used; primarily, however, this reportrelies heavily on information garnered on a firsthand basis through interviews with Korean importersand wholesalers, visits to the Noryangjin Seafood Market in Seoul, and information provided by theState of Alaska’s trade office in Seoul. In addition, the Alaska Seafood marketing Institute and theState of Alaska’s Division of Trade and Development provided data, photos and graphics.

PricesIt is important to note that seafood prices, like those of other commodities, are subject to fluctuation.The prices found in this report were current at the time of publication.

Strong air cargo lift from Anchorage to Korea provides an excellent opportunity for seafood suppli-ers in Alaska to send fresh product to Korean markets. Shipping Alaskan seafood to Korea is anattractive business opportunity due to several factors including product demand, import liberalization,species availability and geographic proximity.

Korean Seafood ConsumerThe demand for fresh seafood is growing in Korea. Suppliers receive prices for fresh seafood thatare equal to or higher than the prices for frozen goods with much less work required. Other advan-tages for the supplier include shorter term, often cash-based transactions and multiple buyers sincemajor trading companies often do not deal in fresh seafood.

Growth in the Korean economy has resulted in an increased standard of living for Koreans. In-creases in standard of living and disposable income typically result in increased seafood consumptionin most markets. Per capita consumption of seafood in Korea has increased from 84 grams in 1990to 96 grams in 1996.2 Given the economic trends in Korea, growth in fresh seafood consumption islikely to continue.

n Once considered a supplemental dish, seafood is increasingly enjoyed by Koreans as a mainentree.

n The perception of fish as healthy food and improved quality standards should contribute tofuture increases in seafood consumption.

n The lifting of import restrictions to Korea (1993 Uruguay Round Agreement) presents newopportunities for importing seafood. A wide variety of species can now be imported to Korea.Availability of fresh and frozen seafood should also contribute to increased consumption.

The Alaska AdvantageThe world's largest commercial fishery is located in Alaska. Each year more than 5 billion pounds ofAlaska seafood are harvested. This represents 56 percent of the total United States seafood volumeand 95 percent of the nation’s salmon production.3 In terms of value, Alaska exported over $1 billionin seafood world wide in 1996.3

Alaska’s wild seafood is known for its superior flavor. Alaska's abundant seafood harvest includesfive species of salmon and seven types of crab, as well as halibut, rockfish, cod, pollock, sablefish(black cod), herring, shellfish, and other lesser known species such as sea urchin and skates.

n Alaska can supply many of the seafood species in demand in Korea (see species availabilitygraph).

n Alaska has a mature, experienced seafood industry and sophisticated seafood processinginfrastructure is in place.

n Alaska’s geographic location, just 8.5 hours by air to Korea, is a distinct advantage. Freshand live seafood can be shipped by air from Alaska more quickly than from European suppli-ers.

Korean history books may mark 1997 as one of the pivotal years of the second half of the 20th

Century. During this brief one-year period, South Koreans elected a long-term opposition leader, D.J. Kim, to the office of President. In the same year, relations between North and South Koreabegan to thaw and peace talks between North and South Korea, the United States, and Chinacommenced. Perhaps the most turbulent event of 1997 was the economic turmoil that engulfedmany of the countries in Asia. After nine years of strong economic growth, the Korean economygave way to financial distress in October of 1997. The combination of the Asian financial crisis anda series of bankruptcies by some of the leading business conglomerates (chaebol) led to seriouseconomic crisis in Korea.

The single biggest factor contributing to the economic crisis in Korea was the loss of confidence byinternational investors. Investor skepticism was fueled by a slowing economy in 1996 and thechaebol bankruptcies. The escalating insolvency led to financial troubles within the nation’s financialinstitutions as they were exposed to non-performing loans. Foreign investors began pulling theirmoney out of Korea by selling off stocks and bonds and refusing to roll over loans that were due.As a result, stocks began to plummet and the exchange rate of the won against the dollar weakened.

The exchange rate, a key variable in the purchases of foreign imports like seafood, fell dramatically.In less than 60 days the won slipped by over 60% in value against the U.S. dollar. At the start of thecrisis the exchange rate was 935 won per U.S. dollar; six weeks later, the exchange rate was 1,702per U.S. dollar.

5 In addition, the Korean Stock Price Index (KOPSI) hit bottom December 4, 1997

at 351; a month earlier, the KOPSI stood at 530.5

In spite of the recent dramatic changes in the Korean economy, there is reason for optimism. On

December 3, 1997, the Korean government and the International Monetary Fund reached an agree-ment on a $55 billion bailout. The conditions stipulated in the IMF program are expected to changethe face of the Korean economic model. Soogil Young and Jae-Jung Kwon of the Korean Institutefor International Economic Policy contend that the agreement reached by the Korean governmentand International Monetary Fund (IMF) will change the characteristics of the Korean economy in acrucial way. No longer will the Korean economy and business environment operate under a semi-closed and mercantilist nature; it is being transformed to a nearly complete open economy.

Against this backdrop, the demand for Alaska seafood will likely slacken during 1998. The won todollar exchange rate is currently in the range of 1400 to 1700. Korean wholesalers have said that anexchange rate in the range of 1200 to 1400 won per dollar would be enough to entice seafoodbuyers back into the market. The changes to the economy and financial markets caused by the IMFprogram will result in a stronger, more robust economy and a seafood market more friendly toAlaskan seafood. According to one American diplomat, “In the midst of this rapid change, there willbe continuing opportunities for American business . . . it is essential that, during this difficult period,American companies stay engaged or become engaged in the Korean market place, so that they arepositioned for the inevitable upturn in one of the world’s largest and, historically, most dynamiceconomies.”

Alaska supplies ninety-five percent of the total U.S. production of salmon.3 Five species of Pacificsalmon are caught in Alaska waters: 1) chinook or king (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), 2) sockeye orred (Oncorhynchus nerka), 3) coho or silver (Oncorhynchus kisutch), 4) chum or keta(Oncorhynchus keta), and 5) pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). Flavor and texture varies with eachspecies. The highest quality possible is insured by careful handling. (Please see appendix for speciesreference material).

Not only do the five salmon species differ from one another, but there are regional differences forsome species. For example, the king salmon from the Yukon River is prized for its high fat contentwhich makes it a valuable commodity for high end sushi bars. Copper River red salmon are indemand due to their superior appearance and taste. Alaska can provide a wide array of fresh salmonto match the taste and price range of a variety of markets.

Availability of fresh Alaska salmon varies from species to species, but fish are generally caught frommid-May to September. King salmon also are caught from mid-October through mid-April insmaller quantities.

First introduced in 1988, salmon is relatively new to the Korean market. Although 1997 salmonimports declined slightly (partly due to the slowing economy), demand for salmon in Korea is increas-ing as demonstrated in the dramatic rise in salmon imports from 1990 to 1996.

n In 1997, a total of 512 metric tons of fresh salmon from around the world were imported intoKorea.2

n Fresh salmon represented 19% of total salmon imports to Korea in 1997. In 1995 salmonimports totalled only 9%.

n Imports from the U.S. to Korea accounted for approximately 6.7% of total fresh salmon, anincrease of 4% from 1996. U.S. imports account for only 8.3% of total frozen salmon importsto Korea.2

factors contributing to the success of Norwegian farmed salmon include year-round availability,extensive marketing by Norwegian firms, and favorable fat content (mainly for sushi bars).

Norwegian aquaculture salmon differs from Alaska wild salmon partly because aquaculture salmon israised with the use of hormones and chemicals. As the Korean palette for salmon develops, nichemarkets for healthy, wild Alaska salmon should follow. (With many other species, wild fish com-mands a larger premium than farmed fish. This is not the case with salmon, due to extensive Norwe-gian marketing.)

Alaska salmon could capture a sizable niche in the restaurant/hotel specialty market. It also appearsthat fresh salmon can be supplied to Korea at a time when other imports are at their lowest levels(June through August). Further marketing and positioning of fresh Alaska salmon will be necessarybefore inroads can be made into the Korean market.

Due to the increasing popularity of sushi style restaurants, salmon roe is growing in popularity. Likethe roe, other select portions of the fish (such as the fat-rich belly) could be separated and sold for asignificant price - potentially high enough to justify airfreight expenses.

Pacific cod is sometimes referred to as Alaska cod (Gadus macrocephalus) or true cod; it is in thesame family as Atlantic cod (please see appendix for species reference material). Cod is known forits white flesh, large flake and delicate flavor. It is often prepared with herbs and light sauces. FreshPacific cod is available from January to December, but the majority of the catch is landed during thewinter months.3

Over the past several years, Pacific cod has been the major fresh export of seafood from Alaska toKorea. Fresh cod will most likely be the number one item in both value and weight for fresh aircargo shipment of Alaska seafood to Korea in the coming years.

Koreans are very selective about Pacific cod and prices vary widely, depending on the origin of thecod. Domestic cod caught on the east side of the Korean Peninsula is considered the most valuablecod. Prices for domestic cod caught on the west side of the Korean Peninsula and imported codfrom Alaska are nearly the same.

Koreans appreciate subtle variations in cod. The major noticeable difference is the skin colorationand meat firmness. Even within Alaska there are variations in cod. One importer noted that thecoloration and quality of cod from Dutch Harbor, Alaska differs from than that of cod landed inHomer, Alaska.

Several factors contribute to the success of the codexport:

n Koreans place a heavy premium on fresh cod (versusfrozen).

n Fresh Pacific cod, caught on the east side of theKorean Peninsula, usually commands a high pricerelative to other species such as salmon. In one storein Seoul during 1997, 100 grams of Pacific cod cost2300 won; 100 grams of Norwegian salmon steakscost 1800 won.

n In 1993 fresh cod imports to Korea totaled 456metric tons. In 1997, the number increased to nearly1,500 tons.2

n In Alaska, Pacific cod is both abundant and inex-pensive. There are already signs that fresh codimports to Korea are being limited due to excesssupply.

The United States, specifically Alaska, is the primary supplier of fresh Pacific cod to Korea. How-ever, there are signs that other areas are starting to supply cod. Future competition will come fromCanada and Russia.

Restrictive visa requirements make it difficult for Korean seafood buyers to enter the U.S. In thefresh seafood business, trips are arranged at the spur of the moment, but it can take several weeks toprocess a visa in the current U.S. system. One importer commented that he will most likely purchasecod from Canada next year because of the difficulties in obtaining a visa to the United States.

In Korea, domesticcod , harvested onthe east side of theKorean Peninsula,is more valuablethan salmon. Cod(on the left) soldfor 2300 won per

Pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), a member of the cod family, is one of Alaska’s most plentifulrenewable resources and as a species, it is the most important groundfish in the world (please seeappendix for reference material). In fact, more pollock is caught each year than all of the otherspecies of Alaska seafood combined. Fresh pollock is available from January to April and Augustthrough November. It should be noted that Alaska pollock and Atlantic pollock are two differentspecies. Atlantic Pollock tends to be darker and oilier than the Alaska pollock.3

Like Pacific cod, Koreans have a preference for fresh pollock (rather than frozen). Many in theseafood industry believe that trade in fresh pollock will provide tremendous opportunities forsuppliers in a position to deliver high quality goods to Korea. In March 1998 the price forwholesale fresh pollock was 3,000 to 3,400 won per kilogram. At these prices, determiningwhether large volumes can be shipped depends heavily on the ex-vessel price, the exchange rateand the cost of transportation, not only from Anchorage to Korea, but also from the fishinggrounds to Anchorage. Pollock prices are considerably cheaper than prices of Pacific cod. Thismakes pollock much more sensitive to the price of freight.

On July 1, 1997, the Korean government lifted restrictions on importing fresh and chilled Alaskapollock. Immediately following the lifting of restrictions, record levels of fresh and chilled Alaska

Pollock

5kg boxes.Import restrictions

Page 14: Seafood Export Opportunity Korea

14

pollock imports were achieved. Prior to 1997, it was not uncommon to see the total amount of freshand chilled Alaska pollock imports held to levels below 500 kg. In 1997, imports of fresh and chilledAlaska pollock totaled 6,346 kg; a significant jump from 1996 imports of 80 kg. Japan currentlydominates imports of Alaska pollock to South Korea. In 1997, 85% of imports of fresh and chilledAlaska pollock was from Japanese suppliers; the U.S. supplied the remaining 15%. As Koreansbecome more aware of the taste and value of fresh and chilled Alaska pollock, demand will increaseand provide export opportunities for Alaska seafood suppliers.

If Alaska pollock follows trends similar to imported cod, the value will most likely be discounted15% to 25% from Korea’s domestic stocks. One potential opportunity arises from the abundance ofAlaska's pollock. In many circumstances, larger pollock command a higher price. Like cod, pollockis an abundant resource. In fact, Alaska pollock was the world's largest single species fishery untilthe late 1980's when the Peruvian Anchovy harvest became the number one fishery. Overharvestingof Korea's and Russia's pollock resource is resulting in diminishing stocks and smaller average fishsize. As this trend continues, the larger Alaska pollock might be selected for fresh shipment andcommand a premium price.

Many fresh seafood importers believe that skates will be a popular item imported from Alaska.

A relative of the shark family, the skate’s wings are a delicacy used in many forms of oriental cuisine.Skate wings are similar to the shark fins often utilized in soups in Asia. The importance of skates as afood fish to Korea should not be ignored. Skates are so popular in Korea that some stores inSeoul’s Noryangjin market specialize exclusively in skates.

On July 1, 1997, Korea lifted restrictions on skate imports. As a new market, it will be difficult todetermine the exact volumes that can be shipped. Some details regarding skate harvest, and theavailability of different species, remain uncertain. Skates are plentiful in bycatches of several speciesof fish caught in Alaska and a variety of skate species are abundant in Alaska waters. It will takesome time before this new item will be exported to Korea in large volumes; Alaskans, using marketsignals, will have to determine which of the many skate species best fit the Korean market.

Skates

In the Noryangjin market, several wholesalers specialize in skates.

Live crab from Alaska presents a potential opportunity in Korea as niche markets develop. AsKoreans begin to travel abroad and as household incomes increase, live crab shipments will inevitablyincrease.

Seven species are currently available for shipment. Theyinclude:

n blue king crab (Paralithodes platypus),golden king crab or brown king crab(Lithodes aequispina),red king crab (Paralithodes camtschatica),

n bairdai, Tanner crab or snow crab(Chionoecetes bairdi),

n opilio crab, snow crab, or queen crab (Chionoecetes opilio),

n dungeness crab (Cancer magister),

n Korean hair crab (Erimacrus isenbeckii), (for further species reference material,please see appendix).

Currently, live crabs are exported to Korea by air. Other product forms, such as cooked frozenand raw frozen, are exported via surface. It is possible that improving technologies could allowair shipments of fresh raw crab in the future. Presently, all raw crab products are frozen tomaintain the original quality. With improvements in technology, processors could maintain thesuperior quality of raw crab as well as the freshness of the product that Korean seafood consum-ers demand. Koreans often utilize the crab in soups and precooked crab is considered inferiorsince the boiling process leaches out some of the flavor.

Live crab shipments offer a unique opportunity to seafood shippers and air cargo carriers work-ing together. For fresh seafood shipments, speed to market is critical. However, with live crabshipments, mortality rates can be decreased by re-tanking the crabs in Anchorage. This allowsthe shipper to work with the airline to utilize available cargo space on a “standby” basis. Assoon as the carrier determines the amount of available space on a given flight, the shipper canpackage only the crabs for which the airline has space. By filling exactly the unused capacity,the shipper may be able to negotiate a better rate with the airline. The airline benefits frommaximizing its cargo shipment out of Alaska.

The species with the highest potential is the snow crab. Available in large quantities, this crab isstrong enough to survive air transport. The snow crab is also an ideal candidate for “tanking” inAnchorage to await shipment to Korea. It is a crab that is already popular in Korea with relatively

large domestic catches still available in Korea.

There is currently a small commercial harvestof the hair crab which is abundant off the coastof Alaska. In the U.S. the hair crab is un-known as a food item despite the fact that thisspecies is one of the most expensive crabssold in Japan and Korea. Like the snow crab,the hair crab transports well. The primarydrawback is that this species has only beenharvested on a test basis and a consistentsupply may be difficult to secure.

Dungeness crab are becoming popular in restaurants in Korea. The Dungeness crab is a hardy crabthat can easily withstand the stress of air transportation. The major drawback of the Dungeness crabin the Korean market is unfamiliarity. With its very hard shell, it is a difficult crab to eat if one is notexperienced and lacks the proper utensils. However, restaurant owners report that the flavor ap-pears to be very compatible with Korean tastes and imports of this product are likely to increase inthe future.

The king crab is the most highly valued crab in Alaska. As noted above, there are three differentvarieties of king crab: 1) red king crab, 2) blue king crab, and 3) golden king crab. Each king crabvaries in flavor, size and price. The king crab is susceptible to high mortality rates during live ship-ment.

King crab is in high demand in both Japanese and U.S. markets. Most of Alaska’s supply for kingcrab is destined for Japan and the U.S. due to strong prices. This makes exporting king crab to anew market in Korea less attractive. This situation is compounded by the fact that Russia is exportinglive, fresh and frozen blue king crab to Korea at extremely low prices, making it nearly impossible forthe Alaska king crab to compete.

Several species of rockfish have been successfully imported into Korea, mostly as frozen product.This family of fish is known for its delicate white flesh that goes extremely well in many types oforiental cuisine. The major drawback in exporting fresh rockfish is the relatively low price thesespecies command at the market. However, wild fresh Alaska rockfish could carve a niche market asa specialty item in restaurants and hotels. Frozen rockfish currently sells for approximately 4,000-5,000 won per kilogram.

Several species have potential. These include:

n shortspin thornyhead or idiot fish (Sebastolobus alascanus),

n ocean perch (Sebasles alutus),

n yellow-eye rockfish or red snapper (Sebaster ruberrimus),n sablefish or black cod (Anoplopoma fimbria) (for further species reference, see

appendix).

The idiot fish and yellow-eye rockfish are valued in Japan due to the very bright red color that makesthe fish “ornamental” as well as fine eating. While Korean markets do not seem to emphasize coloras much as do Japanese markets, the rockfish species have texture that is highly compatible withKorean tastes. In Korea, the Alaska rockfish has not met with the same success as in Japanesemarkets. While frozen goods may be shipped from Alaska, fresh rockfish from Alaska will mostlikely be provided on special order basis rather than as a staple of any fresh importer.

Five species of pandalid shrimp of various commercial and subsistence values are found in the coolwaters off the coast of Alaska. Pink shrimp (Pandalus borealis) are the foundation of the commercialtrawl shrimp fishery in Alaska. Pinks are circumpolar in distribution, though greatest concentrationsoccur in the Gulf of Alaska. The humpy shrimp (P. goniurus) is usually harvested incidentally to pinkshrimp. Both pink and humpy shrimp are usually marketed as cocktail or salad shrimp. Known for itssweet flavor, the sidestripe shrimp (Pandalopsis dispar) is also caught incidentally to pinks. Thecoonstripe shrimp (Pandalus hypsinotis) is the prized catch of various pot shrimp fisheries around thestate. Spot shrimp (P. platyceros) is the largest shrimp in the North Pacific.3

Shrimp consumption in Korea is tied very closely to income levels; as income levels increase, shrimpconsumption should follow. Most shrimp imports to Korea are cold water species (with the excep-tion of the Indonesian black tiger shrimp). The most likely species for fresh shipment is the spotshrimp. This Alaskan shrimp is very similar to the highly valued “bottan ebi” of Japan. It is valuedbecause of its size and because it can be used by sushi bars in raw form.

The high value of the spot prawn makes it a candidate for fresh air shipment to Korea. Quantities ofthis shrimp are limited and most of the shrimp is sold locally. Therefore, shrimp could offer the mostopportunity when shipped with other seafood. Attempts to send the spot shrimp live to Japan havemet limitedsuccess. Coldsaltwater speciesof shrimp have adifficult timecompeting in thelive market due tothe challenge oftransportation andhigh mortalityrates. The shrimpmust be quicklymoved from thefishing grounds tothe market toinsure the highestquality freshproduct.

Opportunities exist for shipping live sea urchins if secondary processing can take place in Korea.Sea urchin roe combines two very important characteristics for fresh air shipment. The roe is high invalue, and highly perishable.

There are two major obstacles to processing sea urchin roe in Alaska:

n Alaska has strict processing laws and health codes, and

n the technique used to process sea urchin roe into a high quality sushi grade product is one ofthe most closely guarded secrets in the seafood world.

These obstacles have led to the export of live sea urchins to Japan for processing. However, laborcosts in Japan are high. If processors in Korea could be competitive in terms of packaging andlabor, a market may exist for reexport to Japan. Furthermore, as sushi bars gain popularity in Korea,markets for the high grade Alaska “uni” will grow.

Currently almost all of the green urchins harvested in Alaska are shipped live to processors in Japan.Because of this, there may also be opportunity for shipping the Alaska sea urchin along an Anchor-age-Seoul-Sapporo route. Consider the following:

n Alaska has two types of sea urchin. One is of the green or “bafuni” variety(Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis). It is the most expensive urchin. It is usually shipped liveout of Alaska for processing.

n The red sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) was harvested for the first time in 1997on a commercial basis in the Ketchikan region. The red urchin is generally harvested, split,and the roe extracted in Alaska. The roe is then packaged in bulk and shipped for furtherprocessing in Canada, the U.S., and Japan.

Sea Urchin

n Urchin roe is of such high quality that Japanese processors often do not sell the product asAlaskan roe, but mix it into the highest grade Japanese roes. Only recently has Alaska “uni”been an identifiable subgroup with entrance of the red urchins from Ketchikan.

n Currently product is shipped to Narita and then to Hokkaido for processing. From there it isdistributed throughout Japan. With Korean companies possessing the expertise to processurchins, the possibility of reexport as well as domestic consumption exists.

n Domestic cargo rates in Japan are extremely expensive and an Anchorage-Seoul-Sappororoute could be less expensive and faster than Anchorage - Narita - Sapporo.

Like crab, the Alaskan sea urchin could be tanked in Anchorage for shipment at a later time. How-ever, tanking sea urchin is difficult and could result in a drop in recovery rates and loss of quality.

Like consumers from many Asian countries, Koreans consider the sea cucumber a delicacy. The seacucumber has some potential for air freight shipment and sea cucumber is plentiful in Alaska. Severalefforts have been made to ship sea cucumber live to Japan. However, air freight costs for seacucumbers are high as the sea cucumber must remain in sea water. Before air exports of this productwill be profitable, the market will have to be developed and new methods of shipping that wouldlower gross weight will be required.

Sea cucumbers are a delicacy in Korea.Both red and purple varieties are sold.

Alaska halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) enjoys the distinction of being the largest flatfish living nearthe bottom of the ocean. They are found in water depths ranging from 60 to 3,600 feet. Femalehalibut frequently tip the scales at 150-200 pounds, while some reports show record halibut weighingover 500 pounds and measuring 10 feet in length. Halibut have both eyes on the top of their head andwill burrow their flat bodies into the sandy ocean floor when in danger. The firm, succulent flesh ofAlaska halibut is low in fat. Its texture makes it well suited for all cooking methods.3

Due to recent changes in the Olympic System Harvesting Allocation for Pacific Halibut,halibut is available fresh nearly year round. Fishermen are now given an individualquota and can harvest their quota throughout the year.

While halibut has never been extremely popular with Asian palates, demand forhalibut could increase in Korea as western style dishes gain popularity. Withstrong local demand, Pacific halibut (not to be confused with Greenland Halibutor Turbot) will play a minor role in air cargo shipments to Asia in the foreseeablefuture. (Please see appendix for further species reference material).

As highlighted in this report, with the recent lifting of import restrictions and growing consumerdemand, there is a significant opportunity for increased exports of fresh and live Alaskan seafood toKorea. Alaska has the seafood supply and the air cargo capabilities necessary to effectively respondto this opportunity.

Immediate opportunities exist for exporting the following species:cod,salmon,pollock,live crab, andshrimp.

In the future, markets will likely develop for:skates,sea urchin,halibut,sea cucumber, andcrab (fresh and frozen but uncooked).

To capitalize on these opportunities, Alaskan exporters will need to become familiar with marketconditions and requirements in Korea. Korean importers will likewise need to familiarize themselveswith the variety and seasonal availability of Alaskan seafood products. It will also be important forboth exporters and importers to work closely with the air cargo forwarders and carriers to addresssuch issues as space availability, storage, and logistics to ensure that the proper infrastructure is inplace to support this trade.
