30,000 Fish Fry Released in Cheongpyeong Lake

The Gyeonggi Province Freshwater Fish Research Institute announced on the 19th that it has released 30,000 fry of smelt and carp into Cheongpyeong Lake to protect inland aquatic resources in the North Han River watershed.

This fry release follows the "Joint Survey Plan for Inland Aquatic Resources in the North Han River Watershed" concluded between Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province last month. Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces plan to release a total of 520,000 fry into the Cheongpyeong Lake area by September.

Previously, the two provinces jointly conducted a baseline environmental survey with the Kangwon National University Environmental Research Institute team from the 12th to 14th at Cheongpyeong Lake to systematically manage fishery resources, and investigated the species and population of fish and shellfish currently inhabiting the area.
