“Now fish farming is not only easy, but also effective!” On January 4, at the Dongjiang fish modern agricultural characteristic industrial park in Zixing City, farmer Li Zhiping talked about the changes from pond culture to industrialized flowing water culture. After settling in the industrial park, Li Zhiping participated in a series of training on breeding theory and breeding management. The unit benefit of the fish pond has increased by 30 times compared with the past. He is full of confidence in the transformation and development.
Zixing city is rich in fresh water resources, excellent water quality and obvious resource advantages in fishery development. With the complete ban and withdrawal of fishing in Dongjiang Lake and other natural waters, the transformation and upgrading of Dongjiang Lake fishery industry is facing some difficulties and challenges. In 2019, Zixing Lanxi ecological planting and breeding professional cooperative will take the lead, take Shili village of Xingning town as the center, radiate the mountainous areas of Dongxiang, drive the city to develop modern facility fishery – industrialized aquaculture, build Zixing characteristic three-dimensional fishery industrial park, and find a new development path for the characteristic Dongjiang fish industry. Through industrialized farming, the unit output has increased from 1 ton per mu of pond farming to 100 kg per square meter and more than 30 tons per mu, and the unit benefit has increased 30 times, which has laid a strong impetus for traditional farmers to transform into efficient fisheries.
In the past two years, the city has organized farmers to study advanced industrialized aquaculture technology in Weifang, Shandong, Youxi, Fujian and Longnan, Jiangxi, organized modern facility fishery training, and trained more than 1000 farmers. Five industrialized aquaculture technologies such as container aquaculture, circulating water aquaculture, pond circulating aquaculture and open three-dimensional water aquaculture were introduced, and two demonstration sites were established, setting off an upsurge of industrialized aquaculture development in Zixing city.
While paying attention to the layout of industrial development, Zixing City focuses on the development of scientific and technological efficiency. The city has introduced a number of characteristic varieties such as shad, perch, big scale barb and eel for breeding test and promotion, and carried out a number of technical breakthroughs, such as industrialized three-dimensional planting and breeding, resource utilization of fecal sewage, and Research on industrialized modern fishery equipment. Characteristic aquaculture has been comprehensively promoted in industrialized aquaculture, and the benefits have increased by 2 to 5 times compared with traditional aquaculture.
At present, Zixing city has developed 29 industrialized aquaculture bases, with an area of 200000 square meters. It has solved the problem of banning fishing and returning fishermen, developed more than 100 people, and can produce nearly 10000 tons of fresh fish throughout the year, effectively promoting the transformation and upgrading of Zixing fishery development.
