Introduction Background

Poised on the edge of the Pacific Rim, nearly equidistant to the major trading centers centers of Asia, Europe and North America, Anchorage, Alaska is home to one of the busiest and most important air cargo airports in the world. This is particularly true in the case c ase of trans-Pacific cargo movements: move ments: more than 90 percent of cargo freighter flights crossing the ocean transit through Anchorage Anchora ge to and from destination cities in the “Lower 48” states. At the same time, Alaska possesses poss esses the world’s largest commercial fishery fishe ry.. In 1996, worldwide exports of Alaskan seafood exceeded $1 billion. Each year more than 5 billion pounds of Alaskan seafood is harvested. This represents 56 percent of total U.S. volume and 95 percent of the nation’s salmon production. An abundant supply of a wide variety of seafood, coupled with strong air cargo connections, provides Alaska with the building blocks upon which to develop a competitive position in key overseas markets. Traditionally, the lion’s lion’s share of Alaska’s seafood exports have gone go ne to Japan. While Japan Japa n remains Alaska’s largest customer, other Asian nations are now emerging as significant new markets for Alaskan seafood. The purpose of this report is to provide information on the opportunity opportu nity for Alaskan companies to export expanded quantities of fresh and live Alaskan seafood products to Korea. It is the first in a series of three such reports that will focus specifically on fresh and live export opportunities. The other 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 forwarde rs who link them together. A better understanding of the opportunity should help expand fresh and live seafood exports in the months and years ahead. The Report

This report consists of six sections. The first section provides an overview overvie w of the current economic climate in Korea. Section two is a species-by-species look at the market situation in Korea for Alaskan seafood products that are either currently being imported or that research indicates have significant import potential. A detailed listing of Korean importers is found in section three. This is followed in section four by a listing of Alaskan Alas kan exporters. Section five provides contact information for the freight forwarders and airlines at Anchorage that provide transportati transportation on services to the seafood industry. Section six contains species specie s reference data. Methodolgy

Recent import liberalizations coupled with rising demand for fresh and live seafood products presented a challenge in collecting historical data on the fresh and live markets in Korea. Where pos2

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

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

The Seafood Opportunity Strong air cargo lift from Anchorage to Korea provides an excellent exce llent opportunity for seafood supplisu ppliers in Alaska to send fresh product to Korean markets. Shipping Alaskan seafood to Korea is an attractive business opportunity due to several factors including product demand, import liberalization, species availability and geographic geograp hic proximity. Korean Seafood Consumer

The demand for fresh seafood is growing in Korea. Suppliers receive prices for fresh seafood that are equal to or higher than the prices for frozen frozen goods with much less work required. Other advantages for the supplier include shorter term, often cash-based transactions and multiple buyers since major trading companies often do not deal in fresh seafood. Growth in the Korean economy has resulted in an increased standard of living for Koreans. Increases in standard of living and disposable income typically result in increased seafood consumption in most markets. Per capita consumption of seafood in Korea has increased from 84 grams in 1990 to 96 grams in 1996.2 Given the economic trends in Korea, growth in fresh seafood consumption is likely to continue.

Once considered a supplemental dish, seafood is increasingly enjoyed by Koreans as a main entree.

n

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

n

The lifting of import restrictions to Korea (1993 Uruguay Round Agreement) presents new opportunities 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 Advantage

The world's largest commercial fishery is located in Alaska. Each year more than 5 billion pounds of  Alaska seafood are harvested. harvested. This represents 56 percent of the total United States States seafood volume 3 and 95 percent of the nation’s salmon production. In terms of value, Alaska exported over $1 billion in seafood world wide in 1996.3 Alaska’s wild seafood is known for its superior flavor. Alaska's abundant seafood harvest includes five species of salmon and seven types of crab, as well as halibut, rockfish, cod, pollock, sab lefish (black cod), herring, shellfish, and other lesser known species such as sea urchin and skates. n

Alaska can supply many of o f the seafood species in demand in Korea (see species availability graph).

n

Alaska has a mature, experienced seafood industry and sophisticated seafood processing infrastructure infrastru cture is in place.

n

Alaska’s geographic location, just 8.5 hours by air to Korea, Korea, is a distinct advantage. Fresh and live seafood can be shipped shippe d by air from Alaska more quickly than from European suppliers.

Korean Economy Korean history books may mark ma rk 1997 as one of the pivotal years yea rs of the second half of the 20th Century.. During this brief one-year period, South Koreans elected a long-term opposition leader, D. Century J. Kim, to the office of President. In the same year, year, relations between North and South Korea began to thaw and peace talks between betwee n North and South Korea, the United States, and China commenced. Perhaps the most turbulent event of 1997 was the economic turmoil that engulfed many of the countries in Asia. After nine years of strong economic growth, the Korean economy gave way to financial distress in October of 1997. The combination of the Asian financial crisis and a series of bankruptcies by some of the leading business conglomerates (chaebol) led to serious economic crisis in Korea.

The single biggest factor contributing contribu ting to the economic crisis in Korea was the loss of confidence confidenc e by international investors. Investor skepticism was fueled by a slowing economy in 1996 and the chaebol bankruptcies. The escalating insolvency led to financial troubles within the nation’s nation’s financial institutions as they were exposed to non-performing loans. Foreign investors began pulling their money 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 purcha ses of foreign imports like seafood, 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 the crisis the exchange rate was 935 won per U.S. dollar; do llar; six weeks later, the exchange rate was 1,702 5 per U.S. dollar. dolla r. In addition, the Korean Stock Price Index (KOPSI) (KOPS I) hit bottom December 4, 1997 5 at 351; a month earlier, the KOPSI stood at 530. In spite of the recent dramatic changes in the Korean economy, there is reason for optimism. On

Month/Day/Year

December 3, 1997, the Korean government and the International Monetary Fund reached an agreement on a $55 billion bailout. The conditions stipulated stipulated in the IMF program are expected to change the face of the Korean economic model. Soogil Young Young and Jae-Jung Kwon of the Korean Institute for International Economic Policy contend that the agreement reached by the Korean government governme nt and International Monetary Fund (IMF) will change the characteristics characteris tics of the Korean economy in a crucial way. No longer will the Korean economy and business environment operate under a semiclosed and mercantilist nature; nature ; it is being transformed to a nearly complete open economy. Against this backdrop, the demand for Alaska Alaska seafood will likely slacken slacken during 1998. The won to dollar exchange rate is currently in the range of 1400 to 1700. Korean wholesalers have said that an exchange rate in the range of 1200 to 1400 won per dollar would be enough eno ugh to entice seafood buyers back into the market. The changes to the economy and financial markets caused by the IMF program will result in a stronger, more robust economy and a seafood market more friendly to Alaskan seafood. According to one American diplomat, “In the midst of this rapid change, there will be continuing opportunities for American business . . . it is essential ess ential that, during this difficult period, American companies stay engaged or become engaged in the Korean market place, so that they are positioned for the inevitable upturn in one of the world’s largest largest and, historically, most dynamic economies.”

Salmon

Alaska supplies ninety-five ninety -five percent of the total U.S. production of salmon.3 Five species of Pacific salmon are caught in Alaska waters: 1) chinook or king (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), 2) sockeye or red (Oncorhynchus nerka), 3) coho or silver (Oncorhynchus kisutch), 4) chum or keta (Oncorhynchus keta), and 5) pink (Oncorhynchus (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). Flavor and texture varies with with each species. The highest quality possible is insured by careful handling. (Please see appendix for species reference material). Not only do the five salmon s almon species differ from one another, but there are regional differences for some species. For example, the king salmon from the Yukon River is prized for its high fat content which makes it a valuable commodity for high end sushi bars. Copper River red salmon are in demand due to their superior appearance and taste. Alaska can provide a wide array of fresh salmon to 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 from Availability mid-May to September. King salmon also are caught from mid-October through mid-April in smaller quantities.

First introduced in 1988, salmon is relatively new to the Korean market. Although 1997 salmon imports declined slightly (partly (partly due to the slowing economy), demand for salmon in Korea is increasing as demonstrated in the dramatic rise in salmon imports from 1990 to 19 96. n

In 1997, a total of 512 metric tons of fresh salmon from around the world were imported into Korea.2 8

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

n

Imports from the U.S. to Korea accounted for approximately a pproximately 6.7% of total fresh salmon, an increase of 4% from 1996. U.S. imports account for only 8.3% of total frozen salmon imports to Korea.2

Norway continues to dominate the fresh salmon market with its aquacultured product. Major

The Norwegian farmed salmon dominates the fresh salmon market in Korea.

factors contributing to the success of Norwegian farmed salmon include year-round availability, availability, extensive marketing by Norwegian firms, and favorable fat content (mainly for sushi bars). Norwegian aquaculture salmon sa lmon differs from Alaska wild salmon partly because aquaculture salmon salmo n is raised with the use of hormones and chemicals. As the Korean palette for salmon develops, niche markets for healthy, wild Alaska salmon should follow. (With many other species, wild fish commands a larger premium than farmed fish. This is not the case with salmon, due to extensive Norwegian marketing.) Alaska salmon could capture a sizable niche in the restaurant/hotel specialty market. It also appears that fresh salmon can be supplied to Korea at a time when other imports are at their lowest levels (June through August). Further marketing marketing and positioning of fresh Alaska salmon will be necessary before inroads can be made into the Korean market. Due to the increasing popularity of sushi style restaurants, salmon salmon roe is growing in popularity. Like the roe, other select portions of the fish (such as the fat-rich belly) could be separated and sold for a significant price - potentially high enough to justify airfreight expenses.

Pacific Cod

Pacific cod is sometimes referred to as Alaska cod (Gadus macrocephalus) or true cod; it is in the same family as Atlantic cod (please see appendix for species reference material). material). Cod is known for its white flesh, large large flake and delicate flavor. flavor. It is often prepared with herbs herbs and light sauces. Fresh Pacific cod is available from January Ja nuary to December, but the majority of the catch is landed during du ring the 3 winter months. Over the past several years, Pacific cod has been the major fresh export of seafood from Alaska to Korea. Fresh cod will most likely be the number one item in both value and weight for fresh fresh air cargo 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 the cod. Domestic cod caught on the east side of the Korean Peninsula is considered the most valuable cod. Prices for domestic cod caught on the west side of the Korean Peninsula and imported cod from Alaska are nearly the same. Koreans appreciate subtle variations in cod. The major noticeable difference is the skin coloration and meat firmness. Even within Alaska there are variations in cod. One importer noted that the coloration and quality of cod from Dutch Harbor, Alaska differs from than that of cod landed in Homer, Alaska.

The United States, specifically Alaska, is the primary supplier of fresh Pacific cod to to Korea. However, there are signs that other areas are starting to supply cod. Future competition will come from Canada and Russia. Restrictive visa requirements make it difficult for Korean seafood buyers to enter the U.S. In the fresh seafood business, trips are arranged at the spur of the moment, but it can take several weeks to process a visa in the current U.S. system. One importer commented that he will most likely purchase cod from Canada next year because of the difficulties in obtaining a visa to the United States.

In Korea, domestic cod , harvested on the east side of the Korean Peninsula, is more valuable than salmon. salmon. Cod (on the left) sold for 2300 won per 100 grams in 1997. Atlantic salmon sold for 1300 won per 100 grams during that same period.

Pollock

Pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), chalco gramma), a member of the cod c od family, is one of Alaska’s most plentiful renewable resources and as a species, it is the most important groundfish in the world (please see appendix for reference material). material). In fact, more pollock is caught each year than all of the other species of Alaska seafood combined. Fresh pollock is available from January to April and August through November. November. It should be noted that Alaska pollock and Atlantic pollock are two differ different ent 3 species. Atlantic Pollock tends to be darker and oilier than the Alaska pollock. Like Pacific cod, Koreans have have a preference for fresh pollock (rather than frozen). Many in the seafood industry believe that trade in fresh pollock will provide tremendous opportunities for suppliers in a position to deliver deliver high quality goods to Korea. Korea. In March 1998 the price for wholesale fresh pollock was 3,000 to 3,400 won per kilogram. At these prices, determining whether large volumes can be shipped depends depend s heavily on the ex-vessel price, the exchange rate and the cost of transportation, not only from Anchorage to Korea, but also from the fishing grounds to Anchorage. Pollock prices are considerably cheaper than prices of Pacific cod. This makes pollock much more sensitive to the price of freight. On July 1, 1997, the Korean government lifted restrictions on importing fresh and chilled Alaska pollock. Immediately following the lifting lifting of restrictions, record levels of fresh and chilled Alaska

Domestic pollock, typically sold in 5kg boxes. Import restrictions were lifted in July 1997.

13

pollock imports were achieved. Prior to 1997, it was not uncommon to see the total amount of fresh and chilled Alaska pollock imports held to levels below 500 kg. In 1997, imports of fresh and chilled Alaska pollock totaled 6,346 kg; a significant jump from 1996 imports imports of 80 kg. Japan currently dominates imports of Alaska pollock to South Korea. In 1997, 85% of imports of fresh and chilled Alaska pollock was from Japanese suppliers; the U.S. supplied supplied the remaining 15%. As Koreans become more aware of the taste and value of fresh and chilled Alaska pollock, demand will increase and provide export opportunities for Alaska seafood suppliers. If Alaska pollock follows trends similar to imported cod, the value will most likely be discounted 15% to 25% from Korea’s domestic stocks. One potential opportunity opportunity arises from the abundance of  Alaska's pollock. In many circumstances, larger pollock command a higher price. Like cod, pollock  is an abundant resource. In fact, Alaska pollock was the world's largest single species fishery until the late 1980's when the Peruvian Anchovy harvest became the number one fishery. Overharvesting of Korea's and Russia's pollock resource is resulting in diminishing stocks and smaller average fish size. As this trend continues, the larger Alaska pollock might be selected for fresh shipment and command a premium price.

Skates

Many fresh seafood importers importe rs 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 a food fish to Korea should not be ignored. Skates are so popular in Korea that some stores in Seoul’s Noryangjin market specialize exclusively in skates. On July 1, 1997, Korea lifted restrictions on skate ska te imports. As a new market, it will be difficult to determine the exact volumes that can be shipped. Some details regarding skate harvest, and the availability availabili ty of different species, remain uncertain. Skates are plentiful in bycatches of several species of fish caught in Alaska and a variety of skate species are abundant in Alaska waters. It will take some time before this new item will be exported to Korea in large volumes; Alaskans, using market signals, will have to determine which of the many skate species best fit the Korean market.

In the Noryangjin market, several wholesalers specialize in skates.

Crab Live crab from Alaska presents a potential opportunity opportunity in Korea as niche markets develop. As Koreans begin to travel abroad and as household incomes income s increase, live crab shipments will inevitably increase. Seven species are currently available for shipment. shipment. They include: n

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

n

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

n

opilio crab, snow crab, or queen crab (Chionoecetes op ilio),

n

dungeness crab (Cancer magister),

n

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

Dungeness Crab. Crab. This species is common in Alaska waters.

Currently, live crabs are exported to Korea by air. Currently, air. Other product forms, such as cooked frozen and raw frozen, are exported via surface. It is possible that improving technologies could allow air shipments of fresh raw crab in the future. Presently Presently,, all raw crab products are frozen to maintain the original quality. quality. With improvements improvements in technology, technology, processors could maintain the superior quality of raw crab as well as the freshness fre shness of the product that Korean seafood consumcons umers demand. Koreans often utilize the the crab in soups and precooked crab is considered inferior since the boiling process leaches leac hes out some of the flavor. Live crab shipments offer a unique opportunity to seafood shippers and air cargo carriers working together. For fresh seafood shipments, speed to market is critical. However However,, with live live crab shipments, mortality rates can be decreased by re-tanking the crabs in Anchorage. This allows the shipper to work with the airline to utilize available available cargo space on a “standby” basis. As soon as the carrier determines the amount amou nt of available space on a given give n flight, the shipper can package only the crabs for which the airline has space. By filling exactly exactly the unused capacity, the shipper may be able to negotiate a better rate with the airline. The airline benefits from maximizing its cargo shipment out of Alaska. The species with the highest potential is the snow crab. Available in large quantities, this crab crab is strong enough to survive air transport. The snow crab is also an ideal candidate for “tanking” in Anchorage to await shipment to Korea. It is a crab that is already popular in Korea with relatively 16

large domestic catches still available in Korea. There is currently a small commercial harvest of the hair crab which is abundant off the coast of Alaska. In the U.S. the hair crab is unknown as a food item despite despit e the fact that this species is one of the most expensive crabs sold in Japan and Korea. Korea. Like the snow crab, the hair crab transports well. The primary drawback is that this species has only been harvested on a test basis and a consistent supply may be difficult to secure.

Alaska King Crab

Dungeness crab are becoming popular popula r in restaurants in Korea. The Dungeness crab is a hardy crab that can easily withstand the stress of air transportation. The major drawback of the Dungeness crab in the Korean market is unfamiliarity. With its very hard shell, it is a difficult crab to eat if one is not experienced and lacks the proper utensils. However, restaurant owners report that the flavor appears to be very compatible with Korean tastes taste s and imports of this product are likely to increase in the future. The king crab is the most highly valued crab in Alaska. As noted above, there are three different varieties of king crab: 1) red king crab, 2) blue king king crab, and 3) golden king crab. Each king crab varies in flavor, size and price. The king crab is susceptible to high mortality rates during live shipment. King crab is in high demand in both Japanese and U.S. markets. Most of Alaska’s supply for king crab is destined for Japan and the U.S. due to strong prices. This makes exporting king crab to a new market in Korea less attractive. This situation is compounded by the fact that Russia is exporting live, fresh and frozen blue king crab to Korea at extremely low prices, making it nearly impossible for the Alaska king crab to compete.

Rockfish, Perch and other Ground Fish

Several species of rockfish have been successfully suc cessfully imported into Korea, mostly as frozen product. This family of fish is known for its delicate white flesh that goes extremely extrem ely well in many types of  oriental cuisine. The major drawback in exporting fresh rockfish is the relatively low price these species command at the market. However, wild fresh Alaska rockfish could carve a niche market as a specialty item in restaurants and hotels. Frozen rockfish currently sells for approximately 4,0005,000 won per kilogram. Several species have potential. 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), sablefish or black cod (Anoplopoma fimbria) (for further species reference, see appendix).

n

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

Domestic rockfish. This species is considered low in value.

Shrimp

Five species of pandalid shrimp of various commercial and subsistence subsis tence values are found in the cool waters off the coast of Alaska. Pink shrimp (Pandalus borealis) borealis ) are the foundation of the commercial trawl shrimp fishery in Alaska. Pinks are circumpolar in distribution, though greatest concentrations occur in the Gulf of Alaska. The humpy shrimp (P. (P. goniurus) is usually harvested incidentally to pink  shrimp. Both pink and humpy shrimp are usually marketed as cocktail or salad shrimp. Known for its sweet flavor, the sidestripe shrimp (Pandalopsis dispar) is also caught incidentally to pinks. The coonstripe shrimp (Pandalus hypsinotis) hyps inotis) is the prized catch of various pot shrimp fisheries around the state. Spot Spo t shrimp (P. (P. platyceros) platyceros ) is the largest shrimp in the North Pacific. Paci fic.3 Shrimp consumption in Korea is tied very closely to income levels; as income levels increase, shrimp consumption should follow. Most shrimp imports to Korea are cold water species (with the exception of the Indonesian black tiger shrimp). The most likely species for fresh shipment is the spot shrimp. This Alaskan shrimp is very similar similar to the highly valued “bottan “bottan ebi” of Japan. It is valued because 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 of  this shrimp are limited and most of the shrimp is sold locally. Therefore, shrimp could offer the most opportunity when shipped with other seafood. Attempts to send the spot shrimp live to Japan have met limited success. Cold saltwater species of shrimp have a difficult time competing in the live market due to the challenge of  transportation and high mortality rates. The shrimp must be quickly moved from the fishing grounds to the market to insure the highest quality fresh product. 19

Sea Urchin 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 in value, and highly perishable. There are two major obstacles to processing proces sing 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 of  the most closely guarded secrets in the seafood world.

These obstacles have led to the export of live sea urchins to Japan for processing. processing. However, labor costs in Japan are high. If processors in Korea could be competitive in terms of packaging and labor, a market may exist for reexport to Japan. Furthermore, as sushi bars gain popularity in Korea, markets for the high grade Alaska “uni” “un i” will grow. Currently almost all of the green urchins harvested in Alaska are shipped sh ipped live to processors in Japan. Because of this, there may also be opportunity o pportunity for shipping the Alaska sea urchin along an AnchorAnc horage-Seoul-Sapporo route. Consider the following: 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 It is usually shipped live out of Alaska for processing.

n

The red sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) franciscanus ) was harvested for the first time in 1997 on a commercial basis in the Ketchikan region. The red urchin is generally harvested, split, and the roe extracted extracted in Alaska. The roe is then packaged in bulk and shipped for further processing in Canada, the U.S., and Japan. 20

n

Urchin roe is of such high quality that Japanese processors often do not sell the product as Alaskan 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 Ketchika n.

n

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

n

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

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

21

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

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

22

Halibut

Alaska halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) enjoys the distinction of being the largest flatfish living near the bottom of the ocean. They are found in water depths ranging from 60 to 3,600 feet. Female halibut frequently tip the scales at 150-200 pounds, while some reports show record halibut weighing over 500 pounds and measuring 10 feet in length. Halibut have both eyes on the top of their head and will burrow their flat bodies into the sandy ocean floor when in danger. The firm, succulent flesh of  Alaska 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 individual individual quota and can harvest their quota throughout the year. While halibut has never been extremely popular with Asian palates, demand for halibut could increase in Korea as western western style dishes gain popularity. With strong local demand, Pacific halibut (not to be confused with Greenland Halibut or Turbot) will play a minor role in air cargo shipments to Asia in the foreseeable future. (Please see appendix for further species reference material).

23

Summary As highlighted in this report, with the recent lifting of import restrictions and growing consumer demand, there is a significant opportunity for increased exports of fresh and live Alaskan seafood to Korea. Alaska has the seafood supply and the air cargo capabilities necessary to effectively respond to this opportunity. Immediate opportunities exist for exporting the following species: cod, salmon, pollock, live crab, and shrimp. In the future, markets will likely develop for: skates, sea urchin, halibut, sea cucumber, and crab (fresh and frozen but uncooked). To capitalize on these opportunities, Alaskan exporters will need to become familiar with market conditions and requirements in Korea. Korean importers will likewise need to familiarize themselves with the variety and seasonal availability of Alaskan Alaskan seafood products. It will also be important for both exporters and importers to work closely with the air cargo forwarders and carriers to address such issues as space availability, storage, and logistics to ensure that the proper infrastructure is in place to support this trade.
