Freshly caught American catfish
In recent years, the "nobility of fish" native to the Mississippi River in the United States, the American spotted forktail catfish (referred to as "American catfish"), has gradually become a "new favorite" on the public's table because of its tender flesh, rich nutrition and no fine thorns. It is understood that in Huangdun Town, Hubin New District, there is an American catfish breeding base that is very influential in the country - Jiangsu Suyu Aquatic Products Technology Co., Ltd. Flowing Tank Breeding Catfish Breeding Base. On March 13, the reporter went to listen to the story of the American catfish settling down in Suqian.
Stepping into the breeding base, the three newly dug ponds on the south side emit the smell of mud. "This is for stocking fry." Li Guoxiang, technical director of the breeding base, told reporters that the fry grew here to two or three and two weights, and then moved into the north of the big pond mouth, and grew to more than 2 kilograms in the big pond mouth before fishing and selling.
Automated feeding
The reporter found that next to each breeding pond, there are several huge tanks. It is understood that these jars are used to store fish feed. At present, all breeding ponds in the base are automatically fed.
During the interview, the workers activate the button, and the fish feed is transported from the large jar through the pipe to the automatic feeder, and then sprayed out of the automatic feeder and falls into the water. Schools of large fish emerge from the bottom of the water to grab food.
"Our base has a total of 7 aquaculture ponds, covering an area of more than 4,000 acres, and produces 5,000 tons of American catfish every year. Both the area under cultivation and the annual output can be counted in the whole country. Wang Wei, the person in charge of the breeding base, proudly told reporters.
Newly dug pond mouth
Wang Wei is more than 30 years old this year and is a native of WangguanJi Town, Sucheng District. Born a fisherman and loved to eat fish since childhood, he chose to major in fisheries when he went to college. After graduating from college, he worked hard in this field, earning the first pot of gold through several years of small fights and small fights, and accumulated valuable experience.
Subsequently, Wang Wei began to think about how to make the business bigger and stronger. After investigation, he found that Huangdun Town is close to Luoma Lake, with low-lying terrain and rich water resources, which is very suitable for aquaculture and processing.
Therefore, in 2009, Wang Wei invested in the construction of a fish products deep processing enterprise with an annual processing capacity of 20,000 tons in Huangdun Town, the surimi processing plant. Due to the large number of orders and large processing volumes, every production season, one of his processing plants can "eat" the silver carp in the surrounding areas, so that many farmers can follow to make money.
Fish feed storage tanks
A few years later, Wang Wei intends to extend the industrial chain and launch aquaculture projects.
What kind of fish is good to keep? Wang Wei inspected for a long time, and finally selected the "noble of the fish" - the American catfish. At that time, many parts of China began to cultivate American catfish in captivity.
In 2017, with the help of the Huangdun Town Government, Wang Wei invested nearly 100 million yuan to build a catfish breeding base in the flow tank of Jiangsu Suyu Aquatic Products Technology Co., Ltd. At the same time, he constantly explored new technologies and got on automatic aerators and automatic feeders. Through the installation of push water aeration equipment, a dynamic circulating flow-through ecological breeding model is formed.
