The Road of getting Rich by Aquaculture in Liu Zunli, Jingyuan County, Gansu Province

"my father opened a pond to raise fish in 1988. I took over the baton from my father in 2008 and was determined to develop aquaculture. It has been 28 years since the family started aquaculture." On June 4, Liu Zunli, an aquaculture farmer in Jingyuan, told the reporter in an interview that he wanted to make aquaculture bigger and stronger, and drive the villagers in his hometown to become rich together.

The forerunner of aquaculture in Jingyuan County

Liu Zunli, 42, is a native of Guayuan Village, Dongwan Town, Jingyuan County, and the first person in aquaculture in Jingyuan County. He was full of confidence in aquaculture in Jingyuan County, and when asked why he was so enthusiastic about aquaculture, he told the reporter that he wanted to popularize aquaculture and lead the people around him to start a business. In his words, "there is work to do, money to make".

Liu Zunli not only inherits his father's career, but also has a unique vision for the development of aquaculture. "look at this water. We have unique natural conditions. Fish farming has high requirements for water quality. Our water quality is very good for the aquaculture industry." Liu Zunli pointed to the pond and said that during Hong Kong's return to the motherland in 1997, he used the power plant to preheat tropical ornamental fish such as blue striped shark and white shark at the Jingyuan power plant, and succeeded, which was later terminated due to site changes. He told reporters that this kind of tropical fish has high requirements for water quality, and Jingyuan County is very suitable for aquaculture.

Scientific development makes aquaculture better

Liu Zunli told the reporter with joy that after a long period of aquaculture, he has accumulated a wealth of experience, from 50 mu of fish ponds in the past to 300 mu of fish ponds, from 250kg to 300kg of fish per mu in the past. it has increased to more than 600kg to 1000 kg of fish per mu today, and the size of the fish has also become bigger. Qualitative leaps have taken place in both output and quality. "I have raised a lot of fish species, love drilling and research, and often go out to exchange and study. Coupled with the fact that the fishery station of the Jingyuan County Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau often comes to promote technology, my fish ponds are getting better and better."

Expand the scale and set up fishery farmers' cooperatives

He told reporters that with the growing size of fish ponds, he set up the "Fengxin Garden Fisheries and Farmers' Cooperative" in Jingyuan County in March 2012. The cooperative is located in Guayuan Village, Dongwan Town, Jingyuan County. It is adjacent to Binhe Road and Longwang Temple to the east, 8 kilometers to Jingyuan County in the south and 15 kilometers to Pingchuan District in the east. "the cooperative now has five members. I provide technology to members free of charge, and there has been a marked improvement in fish disease prevention and control and water quality regulation. It is a pleasure for everyone to help each other and make common progress. After technical guidance, directly increase their farming income by 40%. " Liu Zunli said: the purpose of establishing cooperatives is to strengthen exchanges and cooperation among cooperative members, organize, lead and coordinate various farmers in fishery production, increase farmers' income, promote fishery development, and get rich together.

Overcoming difficulties on the way of development saline-alkali beach becomes a treasure place in a twinkling of an eye

But who would have thought that behind the prosperity of fishery and aquaculture cooperatives was Liu Zunli's hard struggle. "our fish ponds were all dug later, and this used to be a saline beach with no crops. I just invigorated it. None of the pond transformation, construction, circuit transformation and pond road laying is easy. " He told reporters that up to now, there has been a lot of hard sweat, the lack of access and drainage facilities, and the renovation of old ponds are still problems that still exist today, and he is urgently looking forward to preferential agricultural policies such as interest-free loans to put his aquaculture on the fast track.

When asked by the reporter about Liu Zunli's plans for the future, he told the reporter with a smile that he had a bold idea to introduce tropical ornamental fish and some protected precious fish for culture, and develop the aquaculture industry chain, so that fish can be seen, fished and eaten. And set up special catering, aquaculture base characteristic experience tour, connect the surrounding villagers, form a scale, become an ideal fishing village.
