At more than 4:00 a.m. on July 5, 1 million brown-toothed turbot fry were released into the sea in the waters of Bailanzi Village and Guojiagou Village in Lushunkou District, and 1.6 million had been released as of the 7th.
Lushunkou District actively carried out breeding and stocking during the fishing moratorium period, and after the breeding and stocking of Chinese shrimp fry in the early stage, it began the work of brown-toothed turbot fry, and practiced the concept of "green development and ecological protection" with practical actions.
The brown turbot (Paralichthys olivaceus) is mainly distributed in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea and the waters of Korea and Japan. The living environment is mostly close to the coastal water depth of 20-50 meters, the tide is smooth. Its habitat is mostly sand mud, sandstone or rocky reef areas. Turbot is a valuable warm, benthic seafood economic fish, and is also one of the important marine economic fish along the northern coast of China.
In recent years, the spawning population of mature brown turbot has decreased significantly due to over-trawling, and the restoration of natural resources alone has been unable to save natural populations. As an important part of natural resources, marine fishery resources are an important source of human food, which provides employment, economic benefits and social welfare for people engaged in fishing activities, so the decline of fishery resources will inevitably affect the huge industrial chain behind them.
A large number of practices have proved that the most effective way to restore fishery resources is to carry out artificial breeding and stocking. This year, Lushunkou District is expected to invest 9 million yuan to increase the stocking of 800 million Chinese shrimp fry and 2.6 million brown tooth catfish in the waters under its jurisdiction. This will gradually improve the ecological environment of the sea area, restore fishery resources, maintain biodiversity, and promote fishermen to increase production and income.
