Double harvest of fish and fish in rice field

In recent years, Urumqi has increased the popularization and application of rice field fish culture technology, which not only realizes the coordinated development of fishery, agricultural production and environment, but also provides a good idea for farmers to shake off poverty and become well-off.

Now, it is the best time to catch a net. Walking into the rice field fish culture area of Gucheng Village, Wulanhada Town, patches of rice are golden, and carp, grass carp and tilapia shuttled back and forth in the rice fields. "this year, I have planted 150 mu of rice and 150 mu of rice field fish. Raising this rice field fish has increased my production a lot. Together, these two can increase production by 50,000 to 60,000 yuan." Liu Tieming, a member of the village cooperative, said happily. At present, the area of rice and fish culture in Gucheng village has grown to 1500 mu, the yield has reached 250000 kg, and the output value has reached 2 million yuan.

This year, through policy support, typical demonstration, supporting services and other means, Urumqi City has promoted the cultivation of 10, 000 mu of fish in rice fields in 18 Gacha villages and provided 160000 fish fry to farmers free of charge. The fish culture project in 10,000 mu of rice fields is expected to increase the yield of rice by nearly 400000 jin and harvest 100000 jin of fish, and farmers' income will increase by 1.85 million yuan. According to Wang Shoufeng, director of the aquatic products workstation of the Urumqi Water Bureau, the area of rice and fish culture in Urumqi has increased from the initial 1500 mu to 10000 mu, and the breeding varieties are also increasing year by year. In the next step, the Urumqi Water Bureau will do a good job in technical services to further expand the area of rice and fish culture, so that more farmers can increase production and income.
