Just after New Year's Day, the fishermen of Wenzhou City embarked on the journey of the New Year, and went to sea to welcome the fishing grand occasion of the "first net of the New Year". In this day when fishing boats take turns to go to sea, Zhejiang Longyu 08818, a native of Longgang, Wenzhou, has become the focus, and they launched a fishing operation in a sea area in the East China Sea, but unexpectedly caught a body length of about 90 centimeters and a weight of 87 pounds of wild large yellow croaker.
After the fishing boat returned to port, this eye-catching large yellow croaker was sold for a jaw-dropping **68,800 yuan. Bao Guanxin, the boss of the fishing boat, 42 years of fishing experience made him feel the excitement he had not felt for a long time when he opened the fishing net, "When the net bag was hoisted up, as soon as it was opened, there was a very shiny big yellow croaker lying inside. When I saw that I had never caught such a big yellow croaker for so many years, I was really excited. ”
The number of wild large yellow croaker in Wenzhou has increased significantly in recent years, not only in Longgang, but also in Longwan, Beiji, Ningbo Xiangshan and other places Fishermen have also frequently reported good news. This seems to be the return of yellow croaker, and behind this is the long-term efforts of Wenzhou aquatic researchers.
However, looking back on history, the giant yellow croaker has fallen into the predicament of predatory overfishing, and in the mid-80s of the last century, the wild large yellow croaker in the natural sea area was endangered. In order to save this species, Wenzhou aquatic researchers began to explore small-scale aquaculture and artificial breeding since the seventies and eighties of the last century, and gradually carried out the technical research of large yellow croaker breeding. All these efforts have made the big yellow croaker return to people's tables again.
Now, Wenzhou City breeds large yellow croaker in the natural deep-water area of Dongtou Luxi, Ruian North Muntjac, Pingyang Nanmuntjac, Cangnan Jiepai and other places, continuously upgrades the large yellow croaker breeding equipment, and develops fence net dredging technology and ultrasonic cage technology. This deep-sea aquaculture industrial belt has been formed, and the production of large yellow croaker in Wenzhou has grown from 330 tons in 2006 to 170,000 tons, an increase of nearly 50 times, and the output value has also increased from 13 million yuan to 1.5 billion yuan, ranking first in the province.
Facing each other from north to south, the agricultural and rural departments of Wenzhou City have also taken a series of measures, such as law enforcement of the fishing moratorium in the off-season, and the release of large yellow croaker, black sea bream, yellow croaker and other fry in the marine ranch demonstration area11.5 billion units. With the comprehensive promotion of these measures, a good balance has been achieved between resource protection and industrial development.
As soon as the yellow croaker is on, **10,000 taels", this saying seems to glow with more vivid brilliance in the new era. Fishermen in Wenzhou worked at sea and caught a body length of 66 centimeters and a weight of 476 pounds of wild yellow croaker, but this big yellow croaker is 180,000 yuan of ** sold. Similarly, in Xiangshan, Ningbo, a fishing boat went down to catch more than 4,900 catties of wild yellow croaker, and finally sold it for 9.57 million yuan.
This seems to be the glorious moment of the big yellow croaker, but behind it is the silent efforts of countless people. Aquatic researchers in Wenzhou have made unremitting efforts to save the species when the giant yellow croaker is facing the crisis of extinction. The fishermen of Wenzhou, in the hard work of the sea, witnessed the return of the big yellow croaker. They brought a bumper harvest to the sea and breathed new life into the entire industry.
All in all, the return of the big yellow croaker is not accidental, it is the result of the joint efforts of scientific researchers and fishermen. The waters of Wenzhou have once again become the home of large yellow croaker, and this is not only an ecological restoration, but also a rescue operation in a race against time. This success story also provides lessons for other regions to work together to protect our marine resources.
