"Crab King" 657.7 grams, "Crab Queen" 426.1 grams, respectively from Jiangxi Jishui County and Jinxian County! On October 27th, the 14th Crab Culture Festival of Shanghai Ocean University and the 2020 "Wang Baohe Cup" National River Crab Competition were held at Shanghai Wang Baohe Hotel. Nearly 2,500 river crabs from more than 100 units in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang and other places competed for the annual "Oscar Award" in the national river crab industry, and the scale of participation was the highest in the past. In this year's River Crab Competition, the River Crab Industry Forum, River Crab Culture Fun Activities and Crab Culture Exhibition were also held at the same time.
The reporter learned from the competition that although the epidemic at the beginning of the year and the super flood in the middle of the year had an impact on the river crab farming, the river crab industry showed a development trend of first suppressing and then rising through the careful management of all farmers. In 2020, the production of river crabs in the country needs to decline, but the grow-out specifications are generally larger than last year, and the quality has also been improved, and hard-won industrial development results have been achieved. At present, the national crab source is sufficient, the crab products are excellent, and for the majority of consumers, this year is a happy and happy crab tasting year.
After the development stage of "big crab raising" to "raising big crabs", China's river crab industry has begun to enter a new stage and a new development period of "raising famous crabs". In the process of breeding, we should pay more attention to the conservation of the ecological environment of the waters, pay attention to quality improvement and brand building, and take the new development road of scientific and technological crab farming, quality crab, green strong crab, and brand crab promotion. In 2020, in response to environmental protection requirements, the national lake river crab farming withdrew from the historical stage, and pond crab farming became the most important supporter of the river crab industry. After about 30 years of development, pond crab farming has established a variety of river crab ecological crab farming models and technologies in the country. Especially in the past two years, the supply-side structural reform of the river crab industry has been actively implemented throughout the country, the green breeding of river crab ponds has flourished, and the green breeding method of river crab with beautiful breeding environment and clean breeding process has risen throughout the country, providing a strong guarantee for ensuring the "safety and deliciousness of the tip of the tongue" of river crab.
This year, there are 27 river crabs participating in Shanghai, accounting for about one-third of the country, covering all Shanghai crab farming areas such as Chongming, Songjiang, Baoshan, Pudong, Qingpu and Jinshan in Shanghai. This year, the Shanghai river crab industry has shown gratifying characteristics of larger specifications, better quality and better efficiency, which is the best period in history. Experts said that the hairy crabs farmed in Shanghai have developed from the previous "backward" and "catch-up" to "running together" and "leading", and the river crab industry has shown a good situation of a hundred flowers. At present, the appearance, specification, taste and quality of local crabs in Shanghai are not lower than those of hairy crabs in other parts of the country.
This year's river crab competition, in addition to the national breeding of river crab competition, also held a river crab industry forum, river crab cultural fun activities and crab culture exhibition. In view of the new industrial development environment and consumption upgrades, a roundtable forum on "Crab Flying In the World - River Crab Industry Development under the E-commerce Wave" was held, inviting experts and scholars from universities, Pinduoduo e-commerce platforms and heads of river crab e-commerce companies to introduce river crab e-commerce sales cases to the majority of crab farmers, boosting river crabs from "climbing" to "flying", and promoting the greater development of the river crab industry.
In addition, during the competition, activities such as crab shell painting competitions and crab culture exhibitions were also held to promote the integration and development of the first and third industries of river crabs.
