Have you ever heard of Su Wu shepherding sheep?It is rumored that the Han Dynasty envoy Su Wu was unyielding and would rather shepherd sheep in the wasteland of frozen people for more than ten years than surrender to the Xiongnu, and this place where Su Wuling herded sheep alone is today's Lake Baikal.
As the oldest lake in the world, Baikal not only bears witness to the heroic spirit of a generation, but has also been discovered by future generations, and the lake hides even greater ecological treasures.
Under the mysterious glacier, there are more than 50 tons of living fossils of the fish world, known as "black **", and a spoonful of its fish roe has been auctioned for 250,000 **, which is equivalent to a suite of ...... in a small county
"Living fossils" in the fish world,One bite and one suite?
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp", with its superior ecosystem, Lake Baikal nourishes more than 1,200 species of aquatic life, including more than 50 species of fishLightIn 2018, the catch of Lake Baikal alone amounted to 3 billion catties
Among the schools of fish, the Siberian sturgeon is the well-deserved "king of fish" of Lake Baikal, with a time span of more than 200 million years, and is known as the "living fossil" of the fish world. They are best known for their eggs, which can be used to make high-grade caviar
After the turn of the millennium, the demand for caviar in the three major consumer markets of Europe, the United States and Asia has been increasing day by dayHowever, the artificial breeding cycle of sturgeon is very long, at least 7-8 years, and some species need 1years or more.
Coupled with overfishing, all 27 wild sturgeons in the world are listed as endangered species, and caviar has entered an era of sky-high prices under increasing scarcity.
At that time, the average price of an authentic caviar was more than $5,000 per kilogram, and there was a "legendary deed" of a spoonful auctioned for 250,000 yuan. Therefore, caviar, also known as "black ** under the sea", was once considered to be a delicacy exclusive to the French royal family.
Despite the high threshold, caviar is constantly being held on the table of the Chinese, and a four-meter-long caviar made from wild sturgeon eggs was sold to us in 100,000 small jars (30 grams).
Western companies that have tasted the sweetness soon used similar packaging techniques to successively turn the first generation of "Jewel Coffee" and "Celery" into "caviar" in this field, which is difficult for ordinary people to reach. Scarce raw materials and strict technology, the former is sold for 4,900 yuan a cup;The latter was given the potential to "reverse physiological indicators" by Harvard research, and it was once as high as 230 million grams. It seems that he is trying to make a lot of money by creating one "sky-high price myth" after another.
But who would have thought, the WestHarvestingnowMore than ten yearsThe "sky-high price".Traps, by ChinaTechnologySolved.
2.Breaking the myth of sky-high prices?Domestic technology enters the market
The scarcity of sturgeon has skyrocketed its barriers, and China has overcome the world's problem of domesticating wild sturgeon and achieved mass production of caviar. In 2013, after 30 years of unremitting efforts, the Chinese Academy of Water Sciences announced that it had conquered the artificial breeding technology of sturgeon, making us the world's largest sturgeon breeding country in one fell swoop.
According to the China Fishery Statistical Yearbook, our sturgeon farming production has increased to 1040,000 tons. DomesticYield of caviarAlsoAccounts for the world0% of the market
Under mass production, the caviar of 10,000 yuan in the international market was reduced by 58% by China, and the "sky-high price myth" came to an end.
Under the breakthrough of domestic technology, there are countless examples of imported products being "pinched" by the Chinese. Known as the "Sunshine Rose" of Hermes in the grape industry, China has used advanced cultivation technology to expand production after its introduction, reducing from 500 yuan to 4 yuan a catty in a bunch. The time achievement "Celery", which Western countries have always been proud of, has also been successfully solved by Chinese scientists to solve the problem of mass production, falling from one million to four figures.
As before the breakthrough in the scale of sturgeon farming, the United States and Japan, which took the lead in developing this achievement, backed by research results such as "Cell" and "Nature", and its core substances have been repeatedly confirmed in experiments, which can make cells more dynamic and expand13 times the health period of life, for people to give young power has a positive significance, so the sky-high price of one million bottles to harvest the domestic middle and high class.
In order to make it accessible to more ordinary people, Chinese scientists have spent nearly 10 years successfully deconstructing the above-mentioned cell mechanism and achieving an annualized mass production of 300 tons. According to the financial news network, after China's industrial mass production, the cost of raw material purification was reduced by 95%, and Japanese companies took the initiative to throw an olive branch to us and proposed to lower the threshold of relevant finished products in exchange for technical cooperation.
Just as the artificial breeding technology of domestic sturgeon has broken the caviar market pattern, the above-mentioned scientific and technological achievements have been introduced into the mainland market with the help of JD.com, and are increasingly becoming popular. Industry data shows that it has been popularized in first- and second-tier cities in less than 3 years, and 80% of them are middle-aged men aged 35-55, with many reports of physiological aging such as fatigue and lack of sleep. The market size is estimated by the middle-aged**, and it is expected to exceed 100 billion within 5 years.
Today, the improvement of successful Chinese caviar,In the tender of Lufthansa, it won over traditional production areas such as RussiaMore than 20 products,RankedFirstOfficially announced its entry into the international high-end market. After many hardships, Chinese caviar finally opened the door to the European market.
Go abroad and export "Chinese standards" to the world
Today, Chinese caviar is making great strides towards the international market and is being served to the tables of European and American consumers. According to **, 21 Michelin-starred restaurants in France have already completed contacts with Chinese caviar manufacturers, and the largest caviar market in France buys at least 50% every year.
Now it is relatively easy for ordinary people to get caviar, and it has also decreased. Nowadays, on the market, we can often see all kinds of cheap caviar, and even 10 grams of domestic caviar, which has been reduced to less than 100 yuan.
In a macro sense, China's large-scale artificial ecological farming of sturgeon can not only meet people's pursuit of caviar, but also alleviate the dependence on and destruction of wild resources to a certain extent.
