In this study, we estimated the catch of Amphioctopus fangsiao caught by leisure fishing from September to November 2018 around Hongwon port and Maryang port in Seocheon-gun, Yellow Sea. We analyzed the data on the number of fishing boat and the number of fishing man at the Seocheon maritime police station. As result, an average of about 2.8 kg were caught per person and the total catch was 250 tons during the survey period. It accounts for 15% of the total catch in Chungcheongnam-do in 2018. In order to estimate the amount of resources of Amphioctopus fangsiao, we need accurate statistical data on the amount of Amphioctopus fangsiao as a leisure fishing.
