A great deal of efforts are now being directed to stocking the East and West seas of Korea with flatfish fries in numbers, as part of the brisk campaign for protecting and increasing the marine resources in the DPRK.
The Ministry of Fisheries, in close ties with researchers of the Academy of Fisheries, established a breeding ground and succeeded in the artificial spawning of various kinds of flatfish fries including stone flounder, brown sole, dab and plaice.
It also solved such problems as promoting the artificial maturity of spawners and boosting the survival rate of fries by ensuring early and assorted feeds with unicellular seaweeds, rotifers and brine shrimp.
Since last year, Ryonjin, Kim Chaek, Yanghwa, Riwon and Cholsan fishery stations have put over two million flatfish fries into the sea.
It is the plan of the ministry to increase the number of fishery units and breed many more flatfish fries.
According to Kim Yong Chol, a deputy director of the ministry, it is striving to establish an artificially spawning technology of fleshy and high nutritive starry flounder.
