ABSTRACT: Global production of fisheries and aquaculture products continues to increase, with the fisheries sector increasingly considered essential for global food security and nutrition. As public demand for seafood increases, implementation of safety management to minimize risks and ensure the safety of seafood products becomes important. This study was conducted to monitor 198 chemicals, comprising 161 pesticides and 37 pesticide metabolites, and to assess their risks in saltwater and freshwater fish in the Republic of Korea, based on the analysis of 471 fishery samples (298 saltwater and 173 freshwater).
