Recently, Binzhou aquaculture species have added a new member - "linear seahorse". Seahorse has great medicinal value and economic value, and is also one of the characteristic varieties of Traditional Chinese medicine in China, with the reputation of "Southern Ginseng".
In 2018, Binzhou Beihai New Area Haiyuan Aquaculture Technology Co., Ltd. began to look for new varieties to expand the diversification of aquatic products in our city, and after multi-party inspection, it was determined to breed seahorses, and in December of that year, it reached a cooperation with the newly listed Seahorse Research Center of the China Institute of Fishery Sciences, and participated in the first working meeting of the Seahorse Breeding Association.
With the technical support of the Seahorse Research Center of the China Institute of Fishery Sciences, Haiyuan Aquaculture Technology Co., Ltd. introduced 400 pairs of linear seahorse stallions from Hainan on April 6, 2019, for experimental breeding, and the experts of the East China Sea Research Institute conducted the whole process of technical guidance, and the current breeding situation is very good. The company's technicians focus on the bait of the seahorse, adapting to water temperature, salinity, hoping to improve the complete growth environment data of the seahorse from larvae to mature bodies in the waters of our city as soon as possible, and also allow aquaculture farmers to benefit as soon as possible.
According to the person in charge of Haiyuan Aquaculture Technology Co., Ltd., the choice of breeding seahorses is first of all because it has good medicinal and edible value. In addition, in the process of investigation, it was found that the coastal area of our city is rich in resources such as microorganisms (plankton), and has a large environment for breeding seahorses, with great potential for development. Secondly, the shrimp industry in our city has developed rapidly, and under the continuous promotion of experience, it has driven the development of the entire industry and become more competitive. The development of new varieties of aquaculture can not only enrich the aquaculture species in our city, but also strengthen the competitiveness of the industry and promote the diversification and diversified development of the city's aquaculture industry. The company has also reached cooperation with Pharmaceutical Companies in Qingdao, Guangdong and other places to attract them to develop in our city.
Wang Shusheng, director of the Municipal Fishery Technology Promotion Station, said that the seahorse is a high-end health care marine treasure, and the Haiyuan Aquaculture Technology Co., Ltd. began to carry out factory breeding and breeding after its introduction, which made a good start for the diversified development of aquatic products in our city. In the process of breeding, Haiyuan Aquaculture Technology Co., Ltd. has attracted talents and enterprises, which is in line with the development policy of attracting talents and wisdom in marine and fishery in our city.
He believes: "For the fishery industry in our city, the introduction of new varieties is an important driving force to support the development of the industry. At present, the city's aquatic aquaculture enterprises and freshwater aquaculture enterprises are actively exploring new species adapted to the local area, such as grouper, semi-slippery tongue fish, Israeli all-female Giant River Prawns, freshwater perch, etc., after small-scale experimental breeding, the effect is good. In the next step, the development direction of the entire aquatic industry is to continuously accumulate experience in innovation, which in turn supports the development of the entire industry.
