The Pyongyang Catfish Farm has more than 100 open-air ponds and each of them can usually produce tens of tons of catfish.
The catfish produced there enriches the people's diet.
Ju Ka Ram, Section Chief of the Pyongyang Catfish Farm, says:
"The catfish production was not normalized until the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un visited our farm.
Kim Jong Un visited our farm on December 22, 2014.
Looking round the farm, he said the quickest way to provide the people with more fish is to produce fish in an industrial way.
And he importantly stressed the need to raise the rate of utilization of waste water from the East Pyongyang Thermal Power Station, introduce solar water heaters, cover the open-air ponds with vinyl sheets and take measures to make the best use of the natural energy so that the production could be normalized even in winter.
He set a high goal for renovating the farm and afterwards, guided hundreds of miniatures concerning it in person.
Under his wise leadership, our farm could be wonderfully rebuilt into a model and standard farm in the fish breeding sector of the country."
Kim Jong Un visited the farm again on October 30 the next year.
Feasting his eyes on the full view of the remodelled farm, he said with great pleasure that it is a wonderful farm and another wealth for improving the people's diet has been provided.
At the freezing chamber he said: In the past I saw only piles of hard-finned sandfish or small fish. It is for the first time that I have seen such piles of catfish. I am really pleased.
Saying so, he stroke the frozen catfish again and again.
He also said the farm produced catfish so much that there is no space to make another pile in the freezing chamber and the freezing chamber is a treasure house.
He was so pleased to see the fish to contribute to the improvement of the people's diet.
He found his greatest pleasure in the happiness of the people.
