Qianjiang lobster is more popular for seedling breeding and breeding.

In summer, crayfish enter the peak period of listing. Zheng Yulin, president of Hubei Crayfish Industry Association and chairman of Hubei Lake Group, told reporters: "at present, there is an endless stream of crayfish processing orders abroad, and domestic crayfish catering consumption is extremely hot. In addition to Braised Prawns, one place is eaten one by one. In the past, it was sold in a pot, but now the price is equivalent to selling only, and rising year after year."

Hubei Lake Group is located in Qianjiang City, the hometown of Chinese crayfish. Zheng Yulin, who has been engaged in the crayfish industry for many years, keenly judged that although crayfish is becoming an important development object in the structural adjustment of planting and breeding in some areas, the output is increasing continuously. however, due to strong demand, there will still be a tense relationship between supply and demand in domestic and foreign markets in the next few years. It is worth noting that in recent years, the development of crayfish industry chain is not balanced. In front-end breeding, the quality of crayfish is seriously degraded and the supply of breeding shrimp is insufficient. In the back-end catering industry, lobster food consumption continues to be hot, and some restaurants set annual retail prices based on the opening price of crayfish when they first appeared on the market, raising the consumption threshold of crayfish to some extent, which affects the sustained and healthy development of the whole industry chain.

"there are four links in the crayfish industry chain: improved breed breeding-batch reproduction-healthy breeding-processing catering. Whether the seedlings are good or not is directly related to the output and quality of subsequent crayfish culture and processing. Now it is the huge market demand that forces breeding research to speed up the pace." Shu Xinya, a senior engineer at Hubei Fisheries Science Research Institute, said that the crayfish industry chain presents a situation of small front end, huge back end, insufficient seedling breeding capacity, and imperfect relevant scientific research system. In 2015, the total area of crayfish cultured in all kinds of water bodies in Hubei Province exceeded 4 million mu, of which nearly 2.8 million mu were raised in paddy fields. Crayfish seedlings are far from meeting the needs of industrial development, so it is urgent to increase support for crayfish breeding and large-scale breeding of high-quality seedlings.

Three years ago, Li Hongzhong, secretary of the Hubei Provincial CPC Committee and chairman of the Hubei Provincial people's Congress, listened to the opinions and suggestions of Zheng Yulin, a deputy to the provincial people's Congress, which supported the selection and breeding of improved varieties of crayfish. The provincial people's Congress took the construction of the project as a key proposal, and the provincial government allocated special funds to support Qianjiang City to adopt the market-oriented operation mode of "government-led, enterprise-oriented" relying on Lake Group. To build a crayfish breeding center in Hubei province.

Up to now, the whole project of crayfish breeding and breeding center built in Qianjiang has completed 300 million yuan, and 200 mu of crayfish breeding center has been put into use. Lake Group, together with Academician Gui Jianfang of Aquatic Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, built a new crayfish breeding base of 40,000 mu.

In China and even in the world, it is the first to create a number of important technological inventions and innovations, such as crayfish artificial batch breeding induction method and factory breeding method, which are the first to create "five in one" and "five modes" in China and even in the world. break through the technical difficulties of simultaneous spawning, batch reproduction and batch seedling supply of crayfish parents. Since last year, nearly 2 billion shrimp fry have been sold, of which 400000 mu of shrimp fry have been supplied to other parts of the province, and nearly 500 million shrimp fry have been sold to Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi and other provinces.

"the crayfish industry has developed to a certain extent, not by how many lobsters have been sold, but by how many seedlings and technologies have been sold." Hu Gongmin, secretary of the Qianjiang Municipal CPC Committee, analyzed, "in terms of the scale of planting and cultivation, there are still many places suitable for raising shrimp in the country, and the area may be larger than that of Qianjiang, but the key to the development of the crayfish industry lies in the core technology." who will master the commanding height of the development of the lobster industry. It is necessary to speed up the construction of a standardized, large-scale, intensive, and modern crayfish breeding and propagation base, guide enterprises to find a correct position, gain a foothold in the long term, focus on the seed industry, and transfer more of the limited technology, funds, and human resources to the research and development of seed and seedling cultivation. "

Hu Gongmin said that the Seventh Hubei (Qianjiang) Lobster Festival will be held in Qianjiang from June 12 to 16. Through festival activities and media dissemination, we can further expand the brand effect of Qianjiang lobster and let "Qianjiang lobster" go to the whole country and even the world.
