The Ministry of Fisheries took measures to let fishery stations introduce rational fishing methods and put fishing on a scientific basis.

And it has been pushed forward at fishery stations across the country to keep in good condition or newly build freezing facilities and salting tanks.

Efforts are also directed to developing pelagic fishing and cultivating industry.

Offshore farms strive to increase the production of kelp by a thinning-out method and expand the area of shallow-sea culture.

The development of software for searching main fishing ground is going on at the final stage.

Meanwhile, due measures have been taken to further cement the material and technical foundations for shipbuilding bases.
