Market prospect of rice field eel culture

Market Prospect of Monopterus Albus Culture

Monopterus Albus is a delicacy and nourishing health food loved by consumers at home and abroad, and it is very popular in domestic and foreign markets. According to the survey, at present, the annual demand of the domestic market is nearly 3 million tons, while Japan and South Korea need to import 200000 tons every year, and the demand of Hong Kong and Macao is also showing a growing trend. At the same time, eel is rich in DHA, EPA and other medicinal ingredients, so it has great potential in deep processing and development of health products. At present, the main supply of ricefield eel market comes from wild fishing and a certain number of wild eel out-of-season hoarding.

In addition to Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei, the resources of wild eel have been largely destroyed in other areas, and are expected to gradually disappear in 4-5 years. With the increase of demand and the decrease of resources, the market supply of Monopterus Albus is becoming more and more tight, and the price is rising steadily. At present, the price of ricefield eel in the Japanese market is higher than that of eel. In winter, the daily supply and demand gap in Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou is more than 100 tons. The wholesale price of Monopterus Albus with specifications more than 100 grams is 70 yuan per kilogram, 40 yuan for more than 50 grams, and 30 yuan for less than 50 grams. Many factors show that artificial culture of Monopterus Albus has a broad profit space.

Development trend of Monopterus Albus Culture

The main results are as follows: 1. Seed and seedling production is realized in batches. Although the current seedling production of Monopterus Albus is not satisfactory, it has attracted the attention of relevant leading departments and scientific research units. according to the latest information, many provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have listed the seedling production of Monopterus Albus as a key work and direction to tackle. For example, in the autumn of 2000, the Science and Technology Department of Hubei Province launched a province-wide tender for tackling key problems in seedling and feed of Monopterus Albus. According to the prediction of experts, the problem of mass production of rice field eel seedlings will be solved at least to a certain extent in the near future.

2. The main body of investment in Monopterus Albus is diversified. Modern large-scale production is inseparable from the support of large and medium-sized enterprises and consortia, and so is the production of Monopterus Albus. The better benefits of Monopterus Albus culture have begun to attract the attention of businesses, and some businesses have begun to invest in this industry. It is believed that in recent years, there will be better enterprises, consortia and businesses involved in the Monopterus Albus industry, which will eventually solve the current problem of underinvestment and realize investment diversification.

3. The form of production is intensive in scale. At present, factory intensive cultivation of eel has formed a good embryonic form. With the participation of social investment forces and the realization of investment diversification, the sporadic form of small-scale production will be replaced by batch, large-scale industrial and intensive production. At present, some of the work of Volkswagen farming Company, which specializes in Monopterus Albus industry in Jianyang City, Sichuan Province, and Wanlong Eel Industry Co., Ltd. in Huainan, Anhui Province, has been quite effective.

4. Realize the integration of scientific research, production and processing. Realizing the integration of scientific research, production and processing is the inevitable trend of modern commodity production. It is the inevitable requirement of development to directly combine scientific and technological achievements and technical patents with production and processing, and directly transform them into productive forces. At present, the work in this area has just begun, and it will show a situation of vigorous development in the near future.

5. Realizing the international trade of circulation and marketing. With the acceleration of China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Monopterus Albus is objectively required to participate in international trade management. in fact, from 1970s to early 1980s, China's export trade of Monopterus Albus was uniformly organized and managed by the national foreign trade department, while since the late 1980s, the foreign trade department has liberalized the unified export management right of pearl, ricefield eel and other varieties. With the participation of businessmen and consortia in the Monopterus Albus industry, the realization of international trade in circulation and marketing is just around the corner. This will also promote China's ricefield eel aquaculture industry to enter a new stage of development.

Development ways of Monopterus Albus Culture

1. Increase the investment in scientific research of Monopterus Albus and strive to increase the reserve of science and technology. The investment of scientific research includes the investment of scientific research funds and scientific research strength, and the main contents of the research should include the study of physiological and ecological characteristics of Monopterus Albus, the best environment for Monopterus Albus production, as well as seedling breeding and mass production.

2. Advocate healthy breeding and ecological breeding. As mentioned earlier, with the development of production, the diseases of Monopterus Albus are diversified and complicated. To solve this problem, it is not the best way to rely solely on drug control. Healthy culture and ecological culture of eel should be advocated to minimize the residual degree of drug in eel body, which is beneficial to people's health and, more importantly, to export exchange.

3. Use laws and regulations to protect natural ricefield eel resources. The first is to strictly control the catch and listing specifications; the other is to determine the breeding protection period and prohibit the capture of Monopterus Albus during the seedling stage. At the beginning of the new century, the state made appropriate amendments to the Fisheries Law to protect the resources of ricefield eel in accordance with the law. Of course, an important aspect of protecting natural Monopterus Albus resources is to accelerate the research progress of artificial seedling propagation of Monopterus Albus. Only when artificial seedlings reach batch supply, can we better reduce the overfishing of natural Monopterus Albus seedlings.

4. Carry out factory breeding and improve the degree of intensification. To learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries and vigorously carry out factory culture is one of the directions of raising eel in the future. The special habits of Monopterus Albus, especially those adapted to shallow water life, are more suitable for industrial three-dimensional culture, and more suitable for intensive culture under the condition of artificial temperature regulation and temperature control. There are many contents that need to be solved in this aspect, such as water quality, water temperature, dissolved oxygen in the environment, as well as the development of full-price artificial formula feed.

5. Strengthen the research on deeply processed products and increase the foreign exchange capacity of exports. With the accelerated pace of China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), it is very important to broaden the sales volume of Monopterus Albus products in the international market. At present, China's export products are still mainly live ricefield eel, and the health food and fast food of ricefield eel should be studied in the future. In addition, it is urgent to strengthen the trademark registration of products.

In a word, the development of Monopterus Albus industry in China needs the support of social forces, the redoubling efforts of researchers to improve the scientific and technological content of the industry, and the road of intensification, commercialization and internationalization. Only in this way can China's ricefield eel industry enter an era of rapid, sustained, stable and healthy development, and inject new vitality into China's aquaculture.
