The Culture Prospect of ornamental Fish

With the accelerated pace of China's opening up to the outside world, people's material and cultural level has been significantly improved, the breeding of ornamental fish has been quietly integrated into the lives of many people, people get the enjoyment of beauty, at the same time cultivate body and mind, cultivate sentiment. At present, in some countries, the scale of ornamental fish culture is getting larger and larger, making use of their respective advantages to develop aquaculture and trade, so that ornamental fish culture has become a new growth point of fishery economic development. Throughout the domestic and foreign ornamental fish market situation in recent years, the development of ornamental fish is facing good development opportunities and social environment. Ornamental fish culture will become a dynamic new industry with broad development prospects.

The Culture Prospect of ornamental Fish

Ornamental fish can be divided into five categories: goldfish, koi, tropical fish, freshwater other ornamental fish and other marine ornamental fish. There are about 1600 species of ornamental fish traded. Freshwater ornamental fish are mainly from Southeast Asian countries, Singapore and Hong Kong, China: Marine ornamental fish are mainly from the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, the Caribbean, Kenya, Mauritius and coastal countries of the Red Sea. Ornamental fish are exported to Asia first, accounting for more than 50% of the world's total supply. Europe's freshwater ornamental fish exporters are mainly Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands; marine ornamental fish exporters France, Spain and Italy.

China mainly focuses on freshwater ornamental fish culture, mainly export trade. In 1999, exports totaled US $2.322 million, accounting for 1.4% of the world's total ornamental fish exports and US $224000, accounting for only 0.09% of the world's total imports. Guangzhou and Shanghai are the main import and export areas. Chinese goldfish is famous at home and abroad, and China's participation in the international ornamental fish market is gradually increasing.

Present situation of culture of ornamental fish

1. China's ornamental fish culture technology still mainly uses the traditional culture method, the technical content is low, the industry is unstable, and the qualified rate of farmed goldfish export (statistics in 1999) is only 5%. Over the years, ornamental fish culture technology, market development, industrialization development are derived from the exploration and accumulation of fishermen, lack of guidance and support, but also lack of their own characteristics. The breed and quality are low, and there are no characteristics in shape and color. The export of ornamental fish is not smooth, and although the market of ornamental fish is active, it can not form a scale. The scientific and technological level of ornamental fish culture is low and the development potential is great. If we regard the problems and gaps as potential and improve the scientific and technological level of ornamental fish culture as soon as possible, a new situation will appear in China's ornamental fish culture.

2. Lack of industry organization, blind production, poor information in the industry, insufficient grasp of foreign ornamental fish market, and the phenomenon of going their own way can not adapt to the increasingly fierce international and domestic market competition. Internal competition to haggle prices, allowing foreign businessmen to reap profits. The market demand for ornamental fish will be increasing. How to organize the production of ornamental fish and occupy the international market of ornamental fish is an urgent task to explore.

3. The export packaging technology of ornamental fish in China is poor, and the industrial scale is small. China's annual export volume of ornamental fish exceeds 100 million, accounting for 1/10 of the world's ornamental fish exports, but the export amount only accounts for a little more than 1% of the world's export value. Due to poor packaging technology and unfamiliar with foreign markets, there is a phenomenon of entrepot trade or agency in import and export, and most of the profits are easily taken away by foreign businessmen.

4. The service system of ornamental fish culture has not been established yet, and the product circulation market is not smooth. With the popularity of ornamental fish breeding in recent years, it is urgent to establish a service system of ornamental fish culture based on seedling, feed, disease prevention and marketing.

5. There is a lack of professionals engaged in ornamental fish culture. A strong team of professional and technical personnel in aquaculture is a reliable guarantee for the development of ornamental fish culture.

The Development Direction of ornamental Fish

1. Continuously introduce excellent varieties and improve the grade: take goldfish as the main ornamental fish with Chinese characteristics, improve the qualified rate of export and open up the international ornamental fish market. Scientifically and systematically sort out, summarize and study the traditional breeding techniques, establish a breeding base for original species of goldfish, combine scientific research with popularization, research, develop, popularize and utilize scientific research achievements, vigorously advocate scientific culture of ornamental fish, and provide information and guidance for producers, so that the breeding of leisure ornamental fish will last forever.

2. Straighten out the production and marketing system to avoid unreasonable domestic price competition: establish and improve the import and export agencies of Chinese goldfish and ornamental fish (or industry organizations or intermediary organizations), and coordinate the export prices of each link of production and marketing, so that both aquaculture producers and export marketers can obtain reasonable interests, support and promote each other, and at the same time coordinate external supply prices and provide domestic and foreign market information and services. Do a good job in the organization of production and acquisition.

3. Further improve the packaging technology and improve the survival rate of transportation: strengthen scientific management and inspection and quarantine to ensure the smooth and safe import and export of ornamental fish. Avoid the invasion of viruses and bacteria during the introduction of varieties, and protect the ornamental fish industry.

4. expand the export species of ornamental aquarium: efforts should be made to develop ornamental fish species with long-term competitiveness and other rare aquatic animals and plants, so as to expand export and earn foreign exchange.

5. The industrialization of ornamental fish: the industrialization of ornamental fish is guided by domestic and foreign markets, centered on the improvement of economic benefits, and implemented a multi-level, multi-form and diversified optimal combination on the basis of joint-stock cooperation and family management. form a unique industrial chain, in order to achieve regional layout, specialized production, integrated management, social service, enterprise management, and promote the modernization of the ornamental fish industry. It is necessary to cultivate the "leading" enterprises of the ornamental fish industry, give full play to the strong promotion and demonstration leading role of the "leading" enterprises, provide the right and high-quality fry of ornamental fish in the international market, and implement the group model of "companies and ten farmers." speed up the development of the ornamental fish industry.

6. Attach importance to the cultivation of ornamental fish professionals: we should excavate and train professionals from the first line, set up relevant majors suitable for the market demand in colleges and universities, train talents in the ornamental fish industry, and change the current situation of ornamental fish culture and production. to meet the needs of the development of the international ornamental fish market.
