Suqian, Jiangsu Province: the price of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus remains depressed and the scale of breeding may decrease after the year.

After the Spring Festival, the price of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus in Suqian area of Jiangsu Province has not improved. Due to the high breeding cost, many farmers are losing money. It is estimated that many people will quit the cultivation of Loach after the year.

Compared with last week, the price of Loach in Suqian area remained stable on the whole, and the situation of persistent downturn has not been alleviated. According to the through train data of China Aquaculture Network, on February 17, the purchase price of 20 green Loach per jin in Suqian area of Jiangsu Province is 20 yuan / jin. The purchase price of 30 Loach per jin is 18 yuan / jin, and the purchase price of 40 Loach per jin is 16.5 yuan / jin. The purchase prices of 50 Loach, 20 Loach, 30 Loach and 40 Loach are 15.5 yuan / jin, 17 yuan / jin, 16 yuan / jin and 15 yuan / jin respectively.

It is understood that at present, the Loach in Suqian area is mainly shipped to southern Jiangsu and the Shanghai market, although the price has not been very good, but after the Spring Festival, the speed of farmers selling Loach is not slow, "mainly because some farmers have the idea of quitting farming, so they will hurry up to sell out, after selling the Loach on hand, they can almost catch up with the temperature rise, and plan to change to raise other varieties." Misgurnus anguillicaudatus farmers in Suqian area mainly put wild Loach seedlings. Last year, the average price of Loach seedlings was more than 20 yuan per catty. According to the calculation of putting 1,000 jin Misgurnus anguillicaudatus seedlings per mu, the cost of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus seedlings alone is more than 20,000 per mu. Coupled with the previous infrastructure investment and the cost of feed and drugs, the overall breeding cost is relatively high, but by the end of the year, the selling price of the finished Loach is not ideal, and the pressure on farmers is particularly great. There are already some farmers who "cut meat" to sell Loach a year ago, choosing "long pain is not as good as short pain".

In winter and spring, after the temperature rises, the most common disease in Misgurnus anguillicaudatus culture is water mildew. Farmers should do a good job in regular disinfection, and the best disinfection work is to choose fine weather, so the effect of disinfection is better.
