The culture of saury has been successful. Why is saury so expensive?

The Yangtze river swordfish is known as "the freshest in the Yangtze River", and it is said that it has sold for 10,000 yuan a catty in the past two years. In the aquatic products market in front of Tomb-Sweeping Day this year, saury with good appearance was also very expensive.

Why is Yangtze saury so expensive? Because less and less! A fisherman in his sixties said that when he was a child, a small wooden boat could catch dozens of pounds of swordfish a day. At that time, no one bought a few cents a catty. They can't afford meat, so they take swordfish as their next meal. But now, the number of swordfish in the Yangtze River has dropped sharply, and fishermen like him can't afford it for a long time.

Saury, also known as Liaodong bonito, is medium in size and relatively large in size. Swordfish swim from the sea to the Yangtze River every February and March to lay eggs, and when they grow up, they swim back to the sea. Swordfish has a fierce temper and will die in a few seconds. This is one reason why many diners think that saury tastes good, but it also makes the culture environment of saury difficult to simulate.

Many organizations have made great efforts in the artificial culture of swordfish. For example, Shanghai Fisheries Research Institute's "Research and Application of Key Techniques for Artificial Propagation and Germplasm Identification of Coilia ectenes in the Yangtze River" won the first prize of Shanghai Technological Invention 2016; The Freshwater Fisheries Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences has also obtained a number of national patents related to swordfish farming.

In the past two years, there have been rumors that the Yangtze river swordfish has been completely banned. At the same time, the ecological restoration of saury habitat is under way. I hope that such ecological restoration can see results, and I hope that the wild Yangtze swordfish will increase again.

There are many reasons why wild swordfish are becoming less and less. First of all, I hope that everyone will not fish indiscriminately, but must protect the environment and ensure that our Yangtze River tax is pollution-free.

In the late 1990s, a hotel selling saury sold for 5,000 years in A Jin, and now it is almost extinct. However, today, hundreds of kilograms can still be produced every spring. However, even local people rarely get swordfish, no one comes to buy it, and the swordfish caught can't be sold, there is no market and no circulation. You can eat yellow river swordfish every year in recent years. The Yangtze river swordfish culture has been successful, which is great.

In order to pursue the economy, destroy the ecology, protect the Yangtze River, protect the fish population and protect the ecology, this is to protect our lives.
