| Item Identity | Miyeok is the brown algae Undaria pinnatifida and is a major aquatic plant farmed in Korea. The same scientific name is used in official data from the National Institute of Fisheries Science. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| Key role | It diversifies into numerous industrial products, ranging from edible fresh wakame, boiled and salted wakame, dried wakame, stem wakame, and wakame ear, to raw seaweed for abalone feed. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| Harvesting principle | Species, varieties, seed lot, aquaculture farm, seed/rope, temporary transplanting, main cultivation date, water temperature, harvesting date, leaf length, leaf width, weight, part used, and purpose are classified into lots. |
| Product separation | The process involves seed → farmed seaweed → fresh seaweed → boiling → salting → separation of leaves and stems → drying, cutting, and small packaging, and branching out for seaweed ears and abalone feed. |
| Separation of similar items | It is classified as an independent Species/Product from laver and kelp, and maintains a separate Entity principle from domestic wild and native seaweeds such as broad-leaved wakame. The National Institute of Fisheries Science manages wakame and broad-leaved wakame as separate aquatic plant resources. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| domestic production | Domestic aquaculture production of wakame seaweed in 2025 is 631,000 tons . This is the official annual production figure announced by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries in February 2026. ( Ministry of Finance and Economy ) |
| Comparison with the previous year | The 2024 production of seaweed was 572,000 tons . ( Ministry of Finance and Economy ) |
| Start of form | The National Institute of Fisheries Science suggests a water temperature of 20℃ or lower as the criterion for transplanting wakame seaweed and forecasts the appropriate start time for each region annually. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| Early growth risk | High water temperatures during the early stages of aquaculture increase the risk of physiological disorders, such as reduced vitality and shedding of young thalluses, as well as sprout necrosis. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| Response to varieties and climate | The National Institute of Fisheries Science has been developing new regionally specialized varieties of seaweed and has also developed Suwon 203, a hybrid resistant to high temperatures. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| Seed Innovation | In 2022, the National Institute of Fisheries Science developed and field-tested a technology capable of producing the entire process of wakame seeds on land. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| Operating Principles | Connect Variety–Seed–Nursery–Farm Site–Longline/Rope–Harvest–Processing–Buyer RFQ. |
| Final goal | It is to enhance production stability and product-specific recurring procurement capabilities by linking sea area, seeds, water temperature, growth, harvesting, processing, yield, and buyer evaluation. |
According to official statistics from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, domestic aquaculture production of wakame seaweed is projected to reach 631,000 tons in 2025, an increase from 572,000 tons in 2024. However, this figure represents the production volume for marine aquaculture and does not reflect production volumes categorized by edible wakame, abalone feed, or processing type; therefore, it is not arbitrarily divided by product.

The National Institute of Fisheries Science designates * Undaria pinnatifida * in its official fisheries biological resource database . Furthermore, since the submission of male and female gametophytes, sporophytes, or seed ropes with attached seedlings is required when applying for variety protection of brown algae such as *Undaria* and *Kelp*, the Male/Female Gametophyte–Sporophyte–Seed Rope structure is also used in actual variety and seed management.

The National Institute of Fisheries Science analyzes water temperatures over the past five years, identifies temperatures below 20℃ as the optimal time for transplanting wakame seaweed, and forecasts the best timing for each region. In its 2024 forecast, the institute explained that laver and wakame are cultivated from autumn to the following spring, and that prolonged high temperatures could hinder the growth of young sprouts.

According to data from the National Institute of Fisheries Science, the processing method for wakame involves blanching at a processing plant, flash-freezing with cold seawater, salting, separating the stems and leaves, and then washing, dehydrating, drying, and packaging. Therefore, the Blanching Lot, Salting Lot, Leaf Lot, and Stem Lot are inherited by the Harvest Lot. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science )

A characteristic of seaweed is that the food industry and the abalone farming feed supply diverge from the same raw material supply chain. Therefore, when analyzing supply volumes, it is essential to distinguish between Food-grade, Abalone Feed, and Processing-grade . ( National Institute of Fisheries Science )
