Inspection of Mobile Fish Farm on Taedong River

Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, First Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army, provided field guidance to the mobile cage-net fish farm newly set up on the Taedong River.

The fish farm covering an area of over 1 600 square metres consists of cage-nets, a general control room, feed store and resting room.

The supreme leader said the fish farm is neat and smart and goes well with the Taedong River, delightedly describing it as a beautiful scene that adorns more conspicuously Pyongyang that undergoes change with each passing day.

He referred to the need to encourage mobile cage-net fish farming as the country is bounded by the sea on three sides and blessed with many rivers and lakes.

As he looked round the fish farm, he got familiar with the specifications of fish farming facilities and the raising of fish.

The Taedong River became a large artificial lake with the building of the West Sea Barrage and water area favourable for freshwater fish farming has greatly increased as more than ten artificial lakes have recently come into being in the wake of the construction of the multi-tier power stations on the Chongchon River, he said, adding that cage-net fish farms should be set up in large numbers while stocking rivers and lakes with fry.

There should never be any practice of polluting rivers and lakes while doing cage-net fish farming, he instructed, pointing to the need to exercise close supervision and tighten control over the prevention of environmental pollution.

He ordered all provinces, cities and counties to push ahead with the establishment of modern mobile cage-net fish farms as a Party work by accepting it as an important political need like Pyongyang has done.

He posed for a photograph with the employees of the fish farm.
