The station is a small unit located in the country's west coast, but it is well-known for signal progress in fishery production.

According to its manager Kim Song Chol, the station with favorable conditions for offshore fish farming formed a group of small-scale fishing ships and built 14 hectares of shellfish breeding grounds in a recent few years, under the Workers' Party of Korea's fishing policy.

Now, it has more than 1,000 hectares of breeding grounds and turns out a large quantity of marine products while further improving its fishing ships and equipment.

The station was established in April Juche 50 (1961) on President Kim Il Sung's instruction for conducting the offshore fish farming on a large scale.

Leader Kim Jong Il visited it on September 15, 1968, stressing the need to build offshore breeding grounds better, protect and propagate marine resources and strengthen fishery.
