Introduction: 5 yuan 1 kg, the "electric fish party" will aim at the underground, 1 day can catch 40 kg, the harm to agriculture is great!
Speaking of the "Electric Fish Party", it is estimated that many people have heard about it. In the past, people often held batteries, or electric motors in places where there was water such as rivers, ponds, rice fields, etc. By releasing an electric current, the fish in the water are electrified out of the water and then convenient for them to catch.
However, electric fish are not only corona and electrocuted fish, but other organisms in the water cannot escape the doom of being electrocuted, which will cause great harm to the water body, thus destroying the ecological balance in the water.
Although electric fish has been banned in recent years, some people still say that they will take risks. After the Electric Fish Party was banned, some people set their sights on the underground. Because there is a kind of "bug" that can sell for 5 yuan a pound, and a person can catch forty or fifty pounds a day, many people go to catch a large number of them for profit.
However, it is extremely harmful to agriculture, and some old farmers even say that this is a "practice of cutting off children and grandchildren", and have long hoped that the relevant departments can manage it.
After the ban on electric fish, a gray industry of electric earthworms arose in the southern countryside
Since the ban on electric fish, some people in the electric fish party have set their sights on the underground, because in recent years earthworms have become fragrant food. In some rural areas of the south, it is common to see people holding a machine and then inserting two wires into the ground, and in a few moments the earthworms under the kung fu will drill out of the ground.
Because in recent years, in many places in the south, people often go to rural radio to buy earthworms, and since there is a market, there are people to catch them. For example, in the past, farmers who wanted to catch earthworms used hoes to dig underground, or turned over stones to find them, which was very inefficient, and they could not catch a few pounds a day.
But now with high technology, many stores on the Internet have equipment for selling electric shock earthworms, and the price is not expensive, generally three or four hundred yuan. However, it can greatly improve the efficiency of catching earthworms. After inserting it into the ground, all the earthworms in the nearby underground will run out on their own, so that they can easily catch forty or fifty pounds a day, and luck will be more.
And these earthworms that are caught, taken to the market to sell to the purchased vendors, can sell an average of 5 yuan a pound, so that the income of a day is also two or three hundred yuan, which is also a lot of income. If you want to sell it at a higher price, you have to process it and dry it, the price can be doubled by 20 times, and it can generally be sold for more than 100 yuan a pound.
It is also because of the low cost of electric earthworms, and the high purchase price, it is easy to earn hundreds of yuan a day, so the number of electric earthworms in the rural areas in the south has also increased significantly. At present, some places have formed an industrial chain of capture, acquisition, processing, and sale in return, and there is a growing trend.
What is the use of acquired earthworms?
Some people may wonder, what is the purpose of these earthworm acquisitions?
In fact, the earthworm seems to be very inconspicuous in the countryside, and it is active underground all year round, but its value is very high.
First of all, for friends who like to fish, you should know that earthworms are a very popular type of bait. In recent years, many people in the city like to fish, but the city is not as good as the countryside, it is not easy to get earthworms, generally buy. So a large part of the live earthworm is sold to fishing enthusiasts everywhere.
Secondly, earthworms are also high-quality feed. I remember when I was a child, I raised chickens and ducks at home, and when they were young, they would go digging for earthworms, and the chickens and ducks that ate earthworms grew very fast and had much stronger disease resistance. As a high-quality feed, earthworms have a very large market demand.
The reason is that in recent years, there are more people who breed pets, many people are willing to spend money on pets, some pets love to eat earthworms, in addition to which it can also be used as a high-protein food.
Again, earthworm is also a medicinal herb. Earthworm can be used as a precious drug to treat a variety of diseases, it can be dried after it can be medicated, the chinese medicine name "Earth Dragon", it is said that it.
It is precisely because of the large market demand for earthworms, and there are not many people who currently cultivate earthworms, so some traders go to the countryside to buy, which has become very common in some rural areas in the south.
It is extremely harmful to agriculture, and farmers hope to manage it as soon as possible
Although more and more people have been driven by interests to join the ranks of electric earthworms, many peasants have scoffed at this, saying that this is a practice of cutting off their children and grandchildren, and hope that the relevant departments will take care of it, because it is extremely harmful to agriculture.
In the countryside, a large number of industries that capture, buy, process and sell earthworms have sprung up, first of all, driven by interests, and many farmers believe that this is a fast way to make money, and regard it as a way to get rich.
Second, some farmers do not have a strong sense of environmental protection, believing that catching some earthworms is not harmful to the environment. Others think that earthworms are medicinal herbs, and grabbing some to sell can also contribute to their own strength, and by the way, they can also earn some money.
In fact, they overlook the important point that earthworms are very beneficial to agriculture, and they are also called "ecosystem engineers".
Earthworms are good soil environmental indicator organisms, and they play three roles in ecosystems: consumer, decomposer and regulator. Earthworms are active underground all year round, which will play a role in loosening the soil, and can also decompose organic matter, creating favorable conditions for the growth and reproduction of soil microorganisms.
At the same time, the activities of earthworms underground contribute to the material circulation and energy transmission of the soil, such as feeding, digestion, excretion, and mucus secretion. In addition, earthworms can also treat domestic garbage, organic waste and purify sewage, in short, it plays an important role in maintaining the ecological environment, biodiversity and material circulation.
Farmers who have planted land know that in general, the soil with more earthworms is more fertile. If there are no earthworms in the field, the land is very poor, and the average crop will not grow well.
Now many people have electric earthworms near some crop fields and river banks. If a large number of earthworms are caught, the land will become barren and will cause great damage to the local ecological and environmental balance.
Therefore, some farmers say that this is a practice of cutting off their children and grandchildren, and hope that the relevant departments can issue relevant regulations as soon as possible, such as banning the electric catch of earthworms, or banning some instruments for the production and sale of electric earthworms. Of course, it is also necessary to increase the harm of electric earthworms and enhance everyone's awareness of protecting the environment.
