The baby fish on the breeding table led the villagers to increase their income and become rich.

Baby fish scientific name giant salamander, is the world's largest and most precious amphibians, it is the national second-class protection of amphibious wild animals. However, Xie Ziyong of Gaoping Town in Guanghan City is trying to make baby fish on the table and become what people call a delicacy. It is understood that under his lead, more than 100 local farmers have also begun to raise baby fish, which has become another magic weapon to increase income and become rich.

A part-time job is better than starting a business and quitting to start your own farming.

"when you see what other people raise, you want to try." Xie Ciyong, 46, says he has always been a farmer. It is understood that in the 1990s, he worked in a Sino-US joint venture and began to come into contact with the breeding and sale of rare wild animals such as pheasants (except those prohibited by national laws and regulations). This laid a certain foundation for him to do his own breeding later.

It is better to work than to start your own business. With this idea in mind, Xie left the company in 2004 and went back to his hometown Guanghan to start his own farming. He first set up a farm in Xinglong Town, and then raised pheasants in Hanwang Town, Mianzhu City. But in 2008, the earthquake was destroyed.

"to raise pheasants, we need to build a Skynet to prevent them from running, but the earthquake damaged Skynet and most of the pheasants flew away." Xie Ciyong said that he was at Kunming Airport preparing to inspect the project in Xishuangbanna and hurried home after hearing the news. Xie Ciyong did not care much about the losses caused, thinking that his parents were safe at home.

When Hanwang's farm was destroyed, Xie Ziyong had to give up, but the cause of farming did not give up. He continued to run the farm in Xinglong Town and then began to look for new farming projects. At the end of 2008, he came to the place where friends in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province raised baby fish.

"I have worked with them to raise baby fish before, but very few of them." Xie Ciyong said that raising baby fish is very ecological, because the breeding environment must be clean, the water used is flowing spring water, and their food is also fish and shrimp. In addition, the price of baby fish in the market is also very considerable.

It took two years for Xie Ziyong to learn the skills of raising baby fish, and then began to work with people to raise thousands of baby fish in Shuangliu. In 2014, Xie Ziyong established his own breeding base in Gaoping Town, Guanghan. "it has reached tens of thousands."

Farmed baby fish

It is important to raise baby fish in the plain.

In 2014, Xie Ziyong invested more than 6 million yuan to build a wild baby fish domestication and breeding base in Gaoping Town, Guanghan City, after testing the water quality and climate of his hometown. When I walk into this dark room, I can only hear the sound of dripping water and feel cool. With the light, it turns out that the room is full of pools made of bricks, and there are baby fish in the pool.

"now there are more than 10,000 baby fish, the heaviest of which is more than 10 jin." Under the introduction of Xie Ciyong, a reporter from Sichuan News Network saw that some of the baby fish in the pool were nearly one meter long, while others were very small. When the baby fish saw the light, they began to fall back.

Xie Ciyong said that the baby fish is a second-class protected animal in the country, and only the second generation of its offspring and later ones can be sold, and it is necessary to get a breeding license from the Fisheries Bureau. At present, all the baby fish he raises are ordered from friends, and in the future he also wants to breed a kind of fish for hatching.

Baby fish are generally at higher elevations, and there are also requirements for water temperature. How did Xie Ciyong solve it?

"I drilled a deep well of 80 meters and raised baby fish with flowing well water." Xie Ciyong said that he also plans to build a fish pond to raise ordinary fish with water that has raised baby fish, which can also save water resources.

"to raise baby fish, you must be careful and observe them diligently." Xie Ciyong said that from big to small, baby fish eat red nematodes, shrimp, and then fish. Some baby fish are good at grabbing food, so it is necessary to take care of those weak baby fish. At the same time, the feeding environment should be cleaned every half a month and must be brushed with a brush.

Set up cooperatives to increase the income of more than 100 farmers

It is understood that Xie Ciyong's baby fish are sold not only in their own farm music and bases, but mainly in Shuangliu, Chengdu, and tens of thousands of them were successfully sold last year. A baby fish weighs about six or seven jin, and it sells for 120 to 150 yuan per jin.

In order to help local villagers increase their income, Xie Ziyong set up a doll fish cooperative. Cooperatives take the form of funds or shares in land, which has grown from a few people at first to hundreds of people now. The base adopts the form of wholly-owned substitute cultivation or imparting technology self-cultivation to drive the people around Deyang to participate in wild baby fish culture.

"I keep 2000 baby fish." Zhang Yingsong, a villager of Shuimozi Village, Gaoping Town, not only invests in raising baby fish in the base, but also the paid administrator of the breeding base. "it was only when I saw that the benefit was good that I did it. So far, I have invested 80,000 yuan."

Zhang Yingsong's daily work is to take care of the baby fish, and it is his greatest expectation to see the baby fish grow up day by day. "A fish 20 centimeters long can be eaten by it." Zhang Yingsong pointed out that there was a little excitement in the language of the baby fish nearly one meter long. "after eating, it doesn't have to eat for a week."
