The bare-lipped fish is mainly distributed in the clear streams and rivers in the deep mountains of Anhui, Zhejiang and other places, and in the underwater stone crevices. The female has 6 dark brown transverse bands and 1 longitudinal band on the side, so it is also called "southern Anhui grouper". The fish has a bright color and delicious flesh, which is a combination of edible, medicinal and ornamental, and is revered as a must among the best dishes of the emblem dish "Three Stones".
As an important small characteristic economic fish in the production area, the price has been rising in recent years, and it has now reached about 65 yuan / catty. Both fry and commercial fish are in short supply. Huangshan Dingxin Ecological Agriculture Development Co., Ltd. and relevant scientific research units to carry out collaborative research, breakthrough in the full artificial breeding technology of light-lipped fish, realize the large-scale production of fry, change the long-term situation that bare-lip fish breeding fry rely on wild fishing, and open up a new road for the development of local characteristic agricultural economy. Xu Jinkai, chairman of the company, said confidently: In the next 3 to 5 years, this fish still has a lot of profit margins. The bare-lipped fish (southern Anhui grouper) is a very promising cultured species.
Artificially cultured bare-lipped fish
Xu Jinkai was born and raised in Huizhou, southern Anhui Province, and grew up liking the elf-like small light-lipped fish in the stream in front of his home. Successfully accumulated a certain amount of funds for equipment installation projects, in order to realize the childhood dream, simply turned to concentrate on the 7 years on the bank of a clear river in Xikou Town, Xiuning County, concentrating on the hatching and breeding of bare-lip fish and breeding into fish. To do greenhouses, water treatment equipment is naturally a good engineering player, but aquatic breeding and breeding is after all a complex technical discipline such as open bait training, small melon insects and other diseases and epidemic prevention, for Xu Jinkai, fertilized eggs do not produce seedlings, juvenile fish died in a large area and all the fish ponds were washed away by floods and all other losses and disasters he has passed. After experiencing repeated failures, he did not shake his hope for this fish, and finally worked hard and successfully mastered a series of breeding techniques such as self-breeding, coarse water splash, and flowing water aquaculture.

The fish are small, the fate is big
Speaking of Xu Jinkai's change of career to light lip fish, it is all a fate formed from childhood. Under the impact of the tide of reform commodities that year, Xu Jinkai came to Hangzhou from his hometown in Huizhou to do HVAC, focusing on the installation and transformation of central air-conditioning equipment. After more than twenty years of hard work, he had some spare money in his hands. As I grew older and more and more missed my hometown of Huizhou, which I had left since I was a child, I had the idea of returning to the roots of the fallen leaves of my homeland. Looking back at this beautiful striped light lip fish in the small river of my hometown, I learned that the price of this fish in the Hangzhou market at that time was about 45 to 50 yuan / catty. Seven or eight years ago, artificial seedlings were still relatively small, Xu Jinkai saw at a glance with the sensitivity of businessmen that this was an opportunity, and began to plan to build a breeding base as a leisure project for the elderly.

Investment tests the waters, and it is impossible to receive
Xu Jinkai originally planned to invest 2 million yuan to try his hand, "it is not difficult to go through the matter", after the breeding industry invested, he knew that it was far from being as simple as he thought. The first year to invest, after raising found many problems did not think, natural can not raise fish, must be transformed breeding facilities, the second year and found new problems, the third year or some unpredictable problems appeared ... Therefore, it is necessary to invest a sum of money every year, almost a feeling of bottomless pit. At this time, Xu Jinkai felt that he was tied to a roaring train and could not stop, but he firmly said with a little gambling: We must hatch this fish successfully and then raise it well.
Step by step, the past is hard
Xu Jinkai recalled the entrepreneurial road that he had walked step by step, and there was still a sweet, sour and bitter feeling. He started building the bare lip fish nursery base in October 2014, because he didn't know anything, so he was responsible for funding and asking people outside to do technical guidance. After three years, there was no benefit, the key technology did not break through, and the result ended in failure. On June 19, 2016, there was another flash flood, which submerged the entire base with a loss of 2 million yuan, adding up to a total investment of 4 million yuan in three years without any return. At this time, many relatives and friends doubted his way of raising fish, ridiculed him for not having no money to earn outside, returned to his hometown to raise fish to beg for food, and even concluded that there would be no good results in doing it for several years. But he was born not to accept defeat, according to his many years of business experience, I think that the kung fu has not come home, since it has been done, it must continue to improve, do it well, otherwise sorry for the early efforts.
During the period, there was a gap in investment funds, and Xu Jinkai regrouped in order to raise funds, and successively gritted his teeth and sold six houses. In the business, everything must be done personally, and strive to work every detail perfectly, know why it is so, and ensure the coordinated operation of the breeding system. Suffering and tiredness are like shadows, usually he just got up at dawn, the sun set he is still busy, even before going to bed at ten o'clock at night, he also has to tour around the various breeding ponds in the base. If he saw that the fish was inactive or a dead fish, he did not rest, and rotated until he figured out the reason, and the thirty-centimeter-thick breeding record book silently recounted his hardships. Like the Xinyuan River, which flows day and night along the river of the farm, Xu Jinkai's aquaculture work has been silently continued for five years.
The effort pays off, and slowly the operation of the breeding base has dawned, the broodstock are no longer sick, the survival rate of fertilized eggs hatching continues to increase, and the aquaculture water treatment and temperature control facilities are operating normally. In particular, broodstock egg collection, egg squeezing, insemination to the greenhouse incubation, this process has been done for three years to stabilize. Xu Jinkai is very good at inviting experts from relevant scientific research institutes to cooperate in tackling key problems while exploring his own technology. Among them, it cooperated with the Fisheries Research Institute of Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences to complete a major provincial science and technology project. Huangshan City Aquatic Products Station and Xiuning County Aquatic Products Station regard the cultivation of landmark light lip fish as a daily focus. Professor Liu Ying, an aquatic expert from the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian Ocean University, Zhejiang University, and Song Changbin Senior Engineer gave strong support and help, and through the "introduction to go out" industry, learning and research integration cooperation, Xu Jin Kaiding's new company's technology upgrading support is great. Xu Jinkai firmly believes that breeding cannot be achieved by relying on the sky to eat, and can only rely on the enduring magic weapon of scientific and technological progress. During this period, Dingxin Company obtained the patent of "An Efficient Artificial Breeding Method of Light-lipped Fish" and the scientific research results of "Research and Demonstration of Breeding and Breeding Technology of Light-lipped Fish Based on the Needs of Mountain Spring Flowing Water Fish Farming".
Now Xu Jinkai has to invest more than 1 million yuan every year to update equipment and improve the technical model of facility breeding. Looking back, the breeding road he took step by step was really tortuous and arduous, and until today he slowly stepped out of his unique mode. Now that the market has highly recognized his bare-lip fry and commercial adult fish, he has already had the money to come back. Thinking of this sweet return of the market, Xu Jin smiled brightly.
Hard work, technology improved
The market has returned, and Xu Jinkai's mood is cheerful. He introduced: "Now this base covers an area of 20 acres of 8 meters x 8 meters, 5 meters × 5 meters size of 150 breeding tanks, after the improvement of facilities, a pool in the greenhouse can achieve 100,000 fish fry, all aspects of the nursery are in a stable state." "Light-lipped fish are sinking eggs, and at present, artificial induction methods are used, and after inducing labor, the loss of parents can basically be controlled at about 5%. After six days of induction and incubation, it can be adjective, and the rotifers used for the opening of the splash and the abundant insects are also cultivated by themselves, and the problem of open bait is also solved. Now the hatching rate of fish eggs is 80%, and the survival rate of domestication is also 60%, which can achieve artificial control of spawning, but it is necessary to go to the facility."
Light lip fry
"In terms of price, the splash is 1.2 to 1.5 hair / tail, 3 to 5 cm of seedlings to 5 hair / tail, the first half of this year should have an income of 2 million." This year, invest another amount of money, add some equipment, increase the breeding density, increase the output, so that the price of splash or standard coarse seedlings will drop. ”
Xu Jinkai built another fish breeding base in five towns in Huangshan City. He believes that fry can not only sell the fry to the end, to learn to breed in order to truly understand the real state of the fry in the breeding process, to do a set of breeding models suitable for their own fry, farmers can also play some technical guidance and specifications. In the process of breeding, he also found that about 1.5 cm of light-lipped fish can nibble on the moss on the wall of the pond, and the four walls of the breeding pond are clean, which can be called the "scavenger" in the stream, and also plays a certain role in protecting the environment.
The amount of feeding of bare-lip fish in the breeding process does not need to be very large, it is best to cooperate with duckweed and other plants for breeding, increase natural feed. At the same time, because bare-lipped fish can hardly grow at low temperatures, in order to shorten the rearing cycle, it is best to cultivate in greenhouses from November to April, which can shorten the rearing time to one year. In addition, the light lip fish belongs to the native native fish, after 5 cm will not be affected by small melon insect diseases, the entire breeding process, there will be no major diseases, can be done without any antibiotics.
Looking to the future, full of hope
Speaking of future plans, Xu Jinkai's eyes were full of confident hope. Good water to raise good fish, the nursery of light lip fish has stabilized, the second half of the year to try to do a sea bass fry, connect the blank period. We will continue to invest and expand the scale. Fish growth is a metabolic process, breeding technology should also continue to innovate, and constantly improve themselves, in order to ensure that they will not be eliminated by the market of the times, and always lead the model of light lip fish farming. In addition, Xu Jinkai believes that for the bare-lip fish is not only a simple aquatic commodity fish, but also has economic value to be developed in other aspects, such as the beautiful texture of the bare-lip fish, and there is also a future in ornamental fish. If the toxins present in the fish sacs of light-lipped fish can be refined for medical APIs like tetrodotoxin, then its future is even more unlimited.
Xu Jinkai has a lofty vision, he finally said that the bare lip fish farming market is very large, relying on the strength of a company can not do it, for the rapid development of the industry, he hopes that more people or resources can join in. For breeding technology, splash domestication, and standard and coarse technology, they can be taught, so that they can take fewer detours in the breeding process. Only do the most basic and key technology yourself, water drops and stones wear, focus on the industry to better develop. Speaking of this, Xu Jinkai's smile was even brighter.
