Wolya Fisheries is the only freshwater salmon farm in Korea, located in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province. CEO Kim Sang-wook started freshwater fish farming in 2002 and challenged himself to salmon farming in 2014, becoming the first company in Korea to successfully farm King Salmon.

Wolya Fisheries is a company that successfully pioneered inland salmon farming in Korea in 2014, building upon the experience of CEO Kim Sang-wook, a hatching expert, who has been hatching and raising various freshwater fish such as trout, mandarin fish, catfish, and crucian carp since 2002. In particular, by farming King Salmon domestically—which was previously entirely dependent on imports—the company is contributing to localization and opening new horizons for the domestic salmon market.
