Over the last decade, a significant increase in jellyfish blooms has been observed in the coastal waters of South Korea and is becoming a new nuisance for many local economies. Mounting evidence indicates that the most important factor for this surge in the number of jellyfish is a decrease in number of its natural predators, filefish. As a result, this decrease in the population of filefish has indirectly led to drastic damage caused by jellyfish all over Korean coasts. If over-fishing of filefish is to blame for this jellyfish bloom, it is important to establish measures to increase the number of filefish. To achieve this, the catching and consuming of this fish should be prohibited with releasing a large amount of filefish until the population reaches the necessary level. This study will analyze the economical validity of filefish proliferation for eliminating the jellyfish by calculating and comparing the cost and benefit of the program.
