No more selling high prices

"There are fewer fish in the summer, so it's expensive. Grass carp is priced at 10 yuan. Bream 15 yuan, happy head fish 18 yuan. It is better to eat diaozi fish, a little more than a pound, less than 15 yuan. At the Houhu Fresh Market, the stall owner sold to reporters. The stall owner said that the big white diao is usually a kind of expensive fish, and the purchase price is 10 yuan a catty, but this price has been stable. "Other fish have risen, but they don't increase in price, so they have a price advantage."

In just half an hour, under the promotion of the stall owner, half of the people who came to buy fish bought the big white diao. "This fish used to be quite expensive, only in high-end restaurants, and now it sells cheaper than bream, and it must eat diaozi fish." The flesh is thick and tender, and the old Wuhan people love this mouthful. ”

Subsequently, the reporter came to the Baishazhou aquatic products market, and several fish shops were selling dabai diao. The owner of the fish shop told reporters that in the past, the number of large white diao was small, and there were fewer live fish, which were basically ordered by high-end hotels, the vegetable market was out of stock, and the wholesale market was in short supply, so the price was expensive. "In the past, diaozi fish was very expensive, and I sold twenty or thirty yuan a catty, wild in the reservoir." In recent years, there have been more surrounding breeding, stable supply, and very stable prices, and the fish is not lost. ”

New varieties were promoted for more than 2 million mu

Why do you raise more white diao? With this question, the reporter interviewed Li Qing, a senior engineer at the Fisheries Institute of the Wuhan Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Li Qing said,

The big white and diaozi fish sold in the Wuhan market are all bass fish. He and his team have developed a new breed of carp through more than ten years - "Pioneer No. 1" (hybrid fish), which has promoted the cultivation of more than 2 million mu in Wuhan City and Hubei Province, so that the high-valued Diaozi fish finally fell to the "altar".

Pioneer No. 1 (commonly known as the cockroach, the diaozi fish, the great white diao).

In 2002, Li Qing received a carp, a black-tailed near-red bass found in a scientific expedition to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River at the Wuhan Academy of Sciences. After preliminary research, this fish has the characteristics of low protein requirements for farmed feed. Previously, the artificial culture of the carp has always been a problem: the feed protein content is high, the breeding cost is high, the growth is slow; the water is not easy to survive, and the breeding efficiency is low.

Li Qing experts and his team began more than a decade of research. Finally, it was found that the hybridization of the black-tailed near-red carp and the drifting egg-laying squid in the Danjiangkou Reservoir produced a new species that was very suitable for artificial breeding. This kind of carp solves the problem of "water death" of the great white knife, the cost of breeding feed is reduced by half, it is resistant to transportation and grows fast, it is disease resistant, and it does not need to use antibiotics in the breeding process, and it tastes better to eat. In 2013, the hybrid fish named "Pioneer No. 1" passed the national new variety approval and got its own "identity card".

"Our fry are three times more expensive than ordinary fry, and 10,000 fish cost 1,500 yuan. However, the yield is high, there is no need to sprinkle medicine, the survival rate of the water is high, the meat quality is good, and the comprehensive cost of one kilogram of fish farming is about 5 yuan, even if the fry is expensive, the benefit is still good. Li Qing experts told reporters.

The benefits of farmers are good and exported to other provinces

Wang Aichun, a farmer in the Dongxi Lake Dongshan Water Products Brigade in Wuhan City, raised 80 acres of "Pioneer No. 1". He told reporters that when the variety was promoted a few years ago, he raised 10 acres with the mentality of trying it out, and the benefits were good, so he increased from 10 acres to 20 acres, and then increased to 80 acres today, and each mu could earn 5,000-6,000 yuan, and the purchase price was stable at about 10 yuan a catty.

"Good nourishment, through the 'plate', every year before the New Year, Henan, Hunan are looking for me to buy goods, do not worry about sales." In addition to being sold to the market, Wang Aichun's "Pioneer No. 1" is also sold to the owners of recreational fishing and farms. Because this fish is good at biting hooks, easy to catch. When breeding, it does not sprinkle medicine, and the meat quality is good to eat, and it is indispensable on the menu of the farm.

Fenghuangzhai Village in Huangpi District was previously a poor village and was a village designated by the Wuhan Academy of Agricultural Sciences. "Before the Academy of Agricultural Sciences helped send some fish fry to the village to raise, well raised, we will buy our own goods." A while ago, I just sold a batch of 8 cm 'Pioneer No. 1' adult fry, one yuan a piece, but also made a lot of money, are nearby farmers and fishing to buy goods. This fish grows fast, if it is bought into adult fry, it can be caught that year, basically more than a pound. Gong Zhili, an aquaculture farmer in the village, said.

The person in charge of the Wuhan Aquatic Products Promotion and Guidance Center told reporters: "At present, the new urban area of Wuhan has raised a large white diao, in addition to supplying the Wuhan market, there are some sold to neighboring provinces, the supply has risen, the supply is stable, and the price is naturally stable and close to the people." ”
