The hairy crab of Goseong Lake has always been known as the crown of crabs, which is closely related to the special ecological environment of Goseong Lake. The waters of Goseong Lake are 100 miles round, the blue waves are rippling, the water quality is pure as a mirror, the water depth is hard, the water grass is abundant, the extension is wide, the climate is pleasant, and it is the most ideal "crystal palace" for crabs to settle and grow.

The reasons for the good taste of goseong lake crab are mainly as follows:
1. Selection and breeding of good seeds. Gao Chun has organized the implementation of the "Yangtze River Chinese River Crab Large-scale Crab Breeding Technology Development" and other provincial-level scientific and technological research and development projects, established a national "Gucheng Lake Yangtze River System Chinese River Crab Original Seed Farm", and the seedling selection and breeding technology line has been identified by the expert group of the Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After selecting the original parents, it was sent to the coastal breeding base, and the advanced seedling technology was used to breed high-quality off-generation big-eyed larvae, which ensured the original source of the goseong Lake crab. The government has invested more than 10 million yuan to establish a county-level crab seedling breeding center, guiding and driving the county's seedling cultivation area to reach 7,800 mu, providing 130 million high-quality crabs per year, and the supply rate of high-quality crab seedlings in the county has reached 100%.
2. Ecological breeding. Gaochun adheres to the principle of "ecology, efficiency and safety" and formulates scientific breeding models for different water conditions. Artificial release of crab seedlings in the lake to increase the breeding resources, the production of high-quality ecological crabs; the adoption of reasonable stocking in the ditch, transplantation of aquatic grasses, snails, the production of pollution-free commercial crabs; crab ponds are moderately diluted, grass-based crabs, scientific nesting, the production of green organic crabs. Focus on innovative breeding models, explore and develop simulated ecological breeding methods such as aquatic plant diversification, snail self-breeding, microporous oxygenation, etc., through the purification of snails and the absorption of aquatic weeds, maintain the excellent ecological environment for crab growth. Therefore, Goseong Lake crab is a veritable green pollution-free product and brand-name product.
Third, science and technology crab farming. Gao Chun attaches great importance to crab breeding technology, in-depth organization and implementation of fishery science and technology into the household project, the above seafood university, Jiangsu Freshwater Research Institute and other units as technical support, often organize relevant experts to go deep into the breeding area for special research, on-site solutions in scientific and technological breeding in the doubts and difficulties of the problem. The county departments of agriculture and forestry, science and technology, education and other departments have given full play to their functions, taking the lead in holding aquaculture training courses in key aquatic towns and professional villages, and opening various forms of training classes. Vigorously promote the system of contacting demonstration households with fishery science and technology personnel, so that fishery technicians can go deep into the front line of production and carry out targeted technical guidance. In the critical period of crab farming, water quality measurement and analysis are carried out free of charge for farmers, and disease prevention is done. For the prevention and control of diseases, strictly implement the drug prescription system, and comprehensively promote the application of micro-ecological preparations and microporous oxygenation facilities.

How to buy Goseong Lake hairy crab:
1. Identification and selection of male and female crabs: Male and female crabs can be judged by the shape of the crab's "umbilical mask", the umbilical mask is hidden in the abdomen of the crab, the umbilical mask of the female crab is round, and the umbilical mask of the male crab is pointed, which are "pointed umbilicus" and "umbilicus". As the saying goes, "September umbilicus, October tip", "nine females and ten males", refers to the time to eat crabs, the lunar calendar September mother crab eggs are full, crab yellow fresh and fragrant fat delicate, is the best time to eat; lunar October male crab yellow fat paste white, rich and round taste, is the best time to eat. Of course, this statement does not mean that crabs are not suitable for eating crabs at other times, and the choice of male and female crabs can also be determined by personal preferences.
2. Make sure the crabs are alive. Crab with the prolongation of time away from the water vitality will gradually lose, the taste will gradually deteriorate, a long time will die, when the crab is dying or has died, the body protein will decompose and produce histamine, histamine is a toxic substance, even if cooked, histamine is not easy to be destroyed. The longer the crab dies, the more toxic it becomes. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that the crab is alive. To judge whether the crab is dead or alive, you can touch the crab's eyes, and the reaction is more intense to indicate that it is fresh; you can also flip the crab upside down to see if it can flip itself to judge whether it is healthy and fresh enough; you can also put your fingers between the crab claws, such as crab claws are strong, indicating that the crab is strong enough; you can also see if the crab spits foam, and the crab that leaves the water spits out the foam, which is a live crab.
3. Judge the quality of the crab according to its appearance. One look at the color: blue back white belly, golden claw yellow hair is of good quality; two look at the individual: a big strong, thick, heavy feel for the fat and strong good crab; three look at the abdominal umbilicus, the abdomen is full and thick, the navel protrudes outward, gently open the abdominal umbilicus, faintly visible yellow is better; four look at the crab legs, crab legs on the crab hair, the legs are hard, it is difficult to pinch the crab is the fattest.
