Thanks to the dynamic drive of the officials and fishermen, in the first half of May 2.5 times as many fishes as those in the corresponding period of last year were netted by the fishery stations under the bureau.

The fishery stations made thorough-going preparations for fishing operations. They focused efforts on modernizing fishing boats and tackles from the outset of the year.

Fish haul is on the steady increase at all the fishery stations which started fishing operations earlier than usual after finishing the repair of fishing boats and arrangements for fishing tackles one month earlier than scheduled.

The Kamapho Fishery Station brought fish haul per net to the maximum by establishing a well-regulated system for fishing operations and putting them on a scientific basis.

The Mundok Fishery Station is boosting the fish catch by use of new kinds of nets while raising the operation rate of angle fishing net boats.

The Hanchon and other fishery stations have extended sailing days to catch more fishes through a socialist emulation among fishing boats, making contributions to boosting the fish haul, taking the bureau as a whole.
