Pyongyang, Jun 8 (Prensa Latina) The Jikha Atlantic Salmon Breeding Center in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) released more than half a million salmon fry this year, state news agency KCNA reported.

The company has expanded and modernized its facilities, including a protein feed production base, and its technicians and scientists were able to increase egg hatching and hatchling survival rates by 10% and also accelerate hatchling development.

In addition, they are working to increase the multiplication of sturgeon, rainbow trout and other fish, the news agency said.

A few days ago, the Ministry of Fishing Industry reported that the construction of fish farms and the expansion of existing ones is progressing throughout the country, while steps are being taken to increase yields, as part of the task of achieving self-sufficiency and food security.

Fish is one of the key products in the diet of DPRK citizens.
