According to Taiwan's "China Times News Network" According to the report, the first wave of cold snap hit Taiwan this year, fishermen in the coastal areas of Yunlin County are ready to prevent the cold, but on the 25th, milkfish still froze to death, fishermen in Taixi Township have successively salvaged more than 10,000 milkfish, fishermen said that although this wave of cold snap has not dropped below 10 degrees, but due to this year's warm winter, the temperature difference suddenly dropped to 12 degrees is too large, weak milkfish still can't hold on, and there are also milkfish frostbite, although the price of fish has not fluctuated significantly, but fishermen are worried that the next wave of cold snap may make a large number of frostbite milkfish die.
Yunlin Taixi area fish is mainly clam and milkfish polyculture, an area of more than 1000 hectares, because it is a shallow pool, once the cold snap hits, not cold-tolerant milkfish is easy to frostbite, freeze to death, on the 21st of this month, the temperature in the coastal area of Yunlin dropped to 14 degrees during the day, only 12 degrees after nightfall, many fishermen urgently pump groundwater with higher water temperature into the fish farm, to avoid milkfish freezing to death.
Chen Wenqiu, a representative of Taixi villagers, said that he himself has farmed milkfish, and a small number of weak milkfish have frostbite these days, and on the morning of the 25th, he found that the number of frozen milkfish has increased, and he is busy salvaging so as not to pollute the water quality, and later received more than 10 fishermen who told him that there was also a milkfish freezing disaster, which is estimated to be more than 10,000 catties in total.
Chen Wenqiu said that the recent milkfish production price is between 50 yuan and 60 yuan (NT$) per catty, and as of the 25th, the number of frozen milkfish has not reached 10% of the aquaculture volume. It has a significant impact, basically if the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, milkfish will freeze to death, the lowest temperature in these days is about 12 degrees, but before due to the warm winter, milkfish have not encountered low temperatures, suddenly the temperature difference is too much, weak or young milkfish can not resist, this batch of frostbite or freezing milkfish is a warning sign, the next wave of low temperature hits, the disaster may be more serious.
The fishermen mentioned that at present, they can only salvage frostbite or frozen milkfish to avoid fish carcasses polluting the water quality, and then be ready to pump groundwater at any time to respond.
