Comment on the death of "We don't eat our own fish"

News Abstract: at the end of November, the hundreds of fish ponds around Tanggu in Tianjin were barren, and the empty medicine bottles discarded on the embankment had turned yellow. The moment Chen Ming's fish pond is put in from the fry, it has to be sprinkled with disinfectants and antibiotics, and drugs to improve water quality have to be added every two months. If you use fish medicine seven or eight times a year, you have to sprinkle more than 30 cases at a time. As early as the beginning of the month, most of the fish ponds here have already produced fish and entered the wholesale market through fishmongers' trucks. However, Chen Ming, a farmer, has never eaten a fish raised by himself. "We don't eat fish raised by ourselves." (Beijing News, November 29)

A country has its own law, and its conduct has its own rules. According to state regulations, fish culture must apply for a "culture certificate"; the use of prohibited drugs such as nitrofuran and malachite green is strictly prohibited; in addition, the "Aquaculture production record", the "Aquaculture Drug use record" and the "Aquatic Product sales record" should be kept until more than 2 years after the sale of the batch of aquatic products. The organizers of the wholesale market should also print sales vouchers in a unified format, indicating the name, origin, quantity, sales date and seller's name, address and contact information of edible agricultural products, so as to facilitate the reverse investigation of the problem fish.

However, these are only national laws, and the real rules of the trade are as follows: the "breeding certificate" is not handled or regulated, it is normal, but it is different; the banned drugs such as malachite green, which are of good quality and low price, are still constantly detected, because they are cheap and effective, and it is found to be unlucky. Everyone thinks they can become a "fish out of the net"; as for the three records, they are purely played and sung by legislators, and in reality, farmers have never heard of them. Also, whoever has the problem fish is unlucky and wants to find out the source of the problem fish. No way, wholesalers don't sign bills foolishly.

So, why do you think the supermarkets in Beijing suddenly run out of live fish? Because although fish sellers are not fish farmers, fish sellers must know about fish farmers, understand their industry rules, and have confidence in whether the fish they sell can stand the inspection, just like an empty fish tank. Moreover, if a problem is found out, the fish seller will have bad luck. It is not impossible to find out the banned drugs such as malachite green, and it is not impossible to be punished to lose everything. They cannot find a wholesaler, let alone a fish farmer, and there is no one to sign the bill, as if the fish were raised by him. Therefore, for 36, emptying the fish tank is the upper plan.

"We don't eat our own fish." Reporters can always find such sentimental words, but it may not be a hoax, but it is a fact. Anyone who is not out of his mind will not be all right and want to take medicine. Fish's short life, since you grew up in a medicine jar, you go to eat fish, not directly eat medicine jar, at least eat medicine residue. Those who take traditional Chinese medicine should pour the residue on the road for people to step on, which is said to take away bad luck; those who sell fish should pour the residue into other people's belly, so as to bring money. So, when you eat fish, you don't feel like the fish when you were a child. You don't even think it smells like fish. That's right. It all smells like medicine. Can it smell like fish?

The fish that swim all the time do not stop swimming, the joy of this fish is also; the fish that take medicine from childhood to big do not stop, it is not a fish's wish. A fish pond raises so many fish, a chicken farm raises so many chickens, a small piece of land raises so many cattle, a city runs so many cars, the density is large, suddenly regular, it is inevitable to get sick, and if you get sick, you have to take medicine. Fish farmers want to earn more money, this is not wrong, we all think so; the problem is, in addition to giving fish medicine to increase production, there should be other harmless ways. This problem cannot be solved by resorting to morality. the problem lies in supervision, which makes the national law inferior to the industry rules, which counterattacks the national law.

Of course, supervision also has regulatory difficulties, the relevant departments are always understaffed, it is impossible for everyone to take care of the fish, then there should be a problem with the meat. It is necessary to establish a transparent system so that every fish can find its own father, and there must be a "fishing net" capable of testing drugs in every link, and those who come out to mix should always be returned, rather than those who come out to mix. More importantly, we should give full play to the role of the main body of the market, so that people who raise fish with conscience in good faith can get benefits. Fish farming should also have a brand, and the brand should have a premium. The reason why there do not seem to be many brands of aquatic products now can only show that there are business opportunities.

"which fish pond do you say doesn't use medicine? If not, are there any live fish? " The fish farmer thinks he is telling the truth, but in fact it is only the world in his eyes and the universality of falsehood in psychology. In the food industry, they don't eat what they do. These people are really smart, but they are smart enough not to know, and other people think the same way. Unless you don't eat anything, others will give you what you give to others. It's just easy to eat dirt together, so why poison each other? The quantity of fish culture can never be bigger; only the quality of fish culture can make its own brand. (author: Shu Shengxiang)

According to the information provided by media reports, although these small fish ponds have neither issued a "culture certificate" or filled in a "record of drug use in aquaculture", they are in a completely out of control state. however, most of the drugs they put are conventional drugs used in fish culture, so how much harm will these fish bring to consumers' health after they flow to the market? is it as big as some people think? It has yet to be tested by the authoritative department.

However, not knowing how big it is doesn't mean it's not big, but it does mean that its security is out of control. Moreover, because these small fish ponds can usually avoid the sampling inspection of the relevant departments in the culture process, and often avoid the access restrictions of the regulatory authorities at the stage of market circulation, their safety has become very suspicious. There is no doubt that the cause of these problems comes from regulators.

Originally, as long as aquaculture is necessary, these small fish ponds have existed for many years, even if they are not run, and no one has interfered with them. the spot checks that should have been carried out by the regulatory authorities are also ignored because the fish ponds are too small. The circulation of medicinal fish, which was supposed to be prevented from entering the market, was unimpeded. It is not known whether such neglect is intentional or unintentional. However, it makes sense that regulators will not pass by even a small fish pond on their way to spot check on the big fish pond. Are you unaware of the fact that the safety of drug use in small fish ponds is outside the supervision?

They do not dare to eat their own fish, in addition to the lack of relevant knowledge of farmers, the main reason is that the amount of drugs has reached the point where they are afraid. The use of drugs is not terrible, the fear is that the use of drugs is not standardized; the entry of medicinal fish into the market is not terrible, what is afraid is that supervision exists in vain. If the net woven by the supervision of each link is as big as a fight, what the public can see from this big net can only be worry or even fear.

To do a good job in the safety of fish, we must first start with the production and circulation of relevant drugs, weave a good net of drug safety, through this net, stop banned drugs, farmers cannot buy prohibited drugs, and the safety of edible fish will have a source guarantee. In the supervision of the breeding link, it is necessary for the regulatory authorities to include the small fish ponds in the scope of sampling inspection, and even include them in the scope of key sampling inspection; and in the circulation link, we should implement a strict market access system to keep the medicinal fish out of the market. Only in this way can the public feel at ease in buying and eating. More importantly, the adverse effects of the behavior of irregular farmers will not spread to the entire aquaculture industry, and the normal order of the fish farming industry can be maintained.
