The Pyongyang Catfish Farm is widely known as a model of fish farming in the country.

The factory continues to raise the level of scientific and intensive catfish farming.

Furnished with an integrated production system, the factory monitors and controls the water temperature and water quality including oxygen content of fish ponds at the general control room and puts production and management on a scientific and IT basis.

It put efforts into the work to shorten the growth period of catfish and lower the feed unit while increasing the hatching capacity of high-yielding varieties of catfish to the maximum. And it securely ensures the water temperature by effectively harnessing natural energy.

As a result, the production cycle has grown shorter than before and the output of catfish continues to rise.

Recently, the factory has directed efforts to lowering the feed unit and fully automatizing the production processes to make marked achievements.

It increased the digestibility and absorptivity and fattening rate of catfish by improving the grinding granularity of floating feed and developed and introduced a preventive treatment technology for remarkably reducing the death rate.

It also raised the operating rate of catfish catching and feed supply machines and established a new water control system conducive to optimizing catfish breeding.

The factory widely diffuses achievements and experience gained in catfish farming to the fish farming sector while positively introducing advanced technologies.
