Ryongjong Fish Farm
Ryongjong Fish Farm
Situated near the Ryongjong Spring, a famous living monument of Korea, in Ryongyon County, South Hwanghae Province and covering tens of hectares, the Ryongjong Fish Farm was rebuilt five years ago according to the measures taken by the Workers’ Party of Korea and the state to supply more of tasty fish to the people.
With the hundreds of litres of the spring water gushing out per second as its source the fish farm consists of indoor and outdoor breeding ponds, a sturgeon hatchery, fry culture ground, water filtering and heating grounds, assorted feed factory and protein feed factory.
As computer-controlled system has been introduced into the fish farm, it supplies oxygen and feed to fish on a scientific footing on the basis of supervision of the production lines, farm compound and water of ponds and the real-time control of the sectional water quality.
Having satisfactorily solved technical problems arising in the securing of breeding sturgeon, feed production, egg hatching and fry culture, the farm grows sturgeon fries to send them to fish farms across the country.
Ryongjong fish, a kind of carp, named after the farm is a special product.
Clear and fresh water with the temperature of 13 to 14 degrees centigrade flows to some 160 outdoor fish ponds all the year round through the recycling water supply system, which are teeming with cold- and warm-water fishes like sturgeons weighing up to 170 kg, rainbow trouts, Ryongjong fish and carps.
The farm officials and workers push ahead with fish farming actively based on the achievements they have already gained, while persisting in increasing species of fish.
Hanging the slogan Sturgeons out to the sea and Korea out to the world in the compound, the employees make tireless efforts to improve prospects of the farm.
