It adjoins the South Harbor in Busan. More than 30% of the country's fish production passes through the market. In recent years, a large percentage of the catch has been made up of yellowtail, due to warming waters in the East Sea (Sea of Japan). The market takes up 64,257 m², of which about 10% is a refrigerated working area.
