Officials of the Ministry of Fisheries provide proper guidance to ensuring the attainment of the goal of fisheries output this year scientifically, technologically and materially by accelerating the readjustment and reinforcement of relevant units.

Modernization of fishing boats and gear is progressing apace.

Fishery units in the East Sea of Korea, including the Sinchang Fishermen's Cooperative in Pukchong County, have introduced rational working methods to repair ships and maintain them in good condition.

The Hongwon Dockyard has almost completed a line-laying project for boat-lifting device necessary for increasing the ship repair capacity and the Tanchon Shipbuilding Yard under the Sinpho Distant-Sea Fishery Complex completed the anti-tidal dyke construction to protect the line for boat-lifting device from damage by tidal wave.

The Wonsan general fishing tackle factory in close cooperation with relevant units has installed more machinery and equipment to reinforce the process of recycling plastic waste.

Scientists and researchers of the Academy of Fishery Science made progress in making an optimized mathematical model with the main emphasis on accurately predicting and informing fish resources and main fishing grounds.
