Small mountain village koi swim to the world worth hundreds of thousands

On the morning of January 24, the mountains were filled with a touch of fog and brown, and the mountains and villages looked a little cold in the middle of winter. At about 09:00, the reporter came to Yanwan Village, Shuangshan Town, Tongliang District, Chongqing, to interview the ornamental fish breeding base in the small mountain village.

Looking ahead, the Dazheng ditch surrounded by Castle Peak is a large fish pond of different specifications, each covered with a plastic net. A flock of egrets are flying around outside the net, coveting the delicacy under the net. In the fish pond, several workers in water boots and suits bent over to sprinkle lime to clean the fish pond to prepare for the release of fish fry after the beginning of spring. In the courtyard dam facing the highway, workers are busy filling step-by-step bags with oxygen for transportation.

"there are more than 300 mu of fry ponds and commercial ponds in this dam base, and there are more than 30 species of brocade carp, golden crucian carp, dragon goldfish, Heding red goldfish, golden turtles, tropical ornamental fish, and so on. It can be said that the best species in China are concentrated here. Despite the fact that our base is built in a remote mountain village, more than 50 million ornamental fish were sold last year, and some of them have been exported to Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Europe and other places. " Hu Hua, head of Chongqing Watson Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., said.

The ornamental fish base is located under the dam of Zhangjiagou Reservoir in Yanwan Village. In the past, because it was a dam of farmland, the soil was soft and rotten due to long-term flooding in winter, which was a typical low-yield and low-efficiency field.

"We chose to settle here on the basis that the forest coverage rate in Shuangshan Town has reached 60%, there is no industrial enterprise, and there is no industrial pollution. The water source used in the base is taken from the high-quality spring water source of Zhangjiagou Reservoir, coupled with the flat land under the dam, sufficient light, and good ecological conditions for the development of ornamental fish. " Hu Hua said.

Next to the fish pond, technician Zhao Wenyong gently tapped the bait mixing bucket. The fish in the pond gathered densely and quickly gathered on the edge of the pond. A ladle of bait was sprinkled, and the fish splashed a "clatter" for food.

"this pool is full of Japanese koi, the smallest is 500g and the largest is 2000 g. At present, large koi can be bought for 50,000 to 80,000 yuan each in the market. This is not even the most expensive. The most expensive koi can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, "says Hu Hua.

Ornamental fish farming seems to be the same as other food fish, but it is actually much more difficult. Technician Zhao Wenyong said that although a large koi can be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, it has been cultivated after many rounds of selection among tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of seedlings. it must be the most beautiful body, the strongest physique, and the brightest colors in order to be favored by customers. On the other hand, to cultivate a fertilized fish egg the size of a sesame seed into a high-quality commercial fish, you have to be very considerate in the process of hatching and breeding, not the slightest carelessness, with a short time of about a year and a long one of several years.

"during the summer thunderstorm and muggy season, we are most afraid of anoxic and mass dead fish. We stay at the edge of the pool to add fresh water and oxygen to observe the movement of the fish." Zhao Wenyong said.

In the interview, we learned that in order to solve the technical problems, the company has established a technical cooperation relationship with Southwest University to carry out variety introduction, breeding and production under the guidance of aquatic experts. In sales, we cooperated with well-known companies such as Shunfeng Express and Debon Logistics, and shipped the products to various places by air.

The construction of an ornamental fish base in the mountain village has also brought tangible benefits to the villagers. in addition to sitting and collecting rent, more than 20 left-behind villagers have been employed by the company as agricultural workers, with an annual income of about 15000 yuan each, and have taken off their poor hats at their doorstep.

Talking about the plan for this year, Hu Hua said that the first is to steadily expand production, the second is to make use of the export qualifications that have been obtained to sell the products directly abroad, and the third is to take the road of combining fishing and tourism, and try to combine the ornamental fish base with rural tourism. let the base and the surrounding farmers make tourism money together.
