He Fujin, an aquaculture demonstration household: get rich skillfully by raising fish by water

Three years ago, he Fujin in Gujing Village, Liuji Town, was just a cloth factory worker from nine to five. He didn't work hard, but he didn't earn much money, which was inconspicuous in the village. Today, three years later, he Fujin has become a famous fish farmer in Gujing Village, earning more than 200,000 yuan a year by relying on a 20-mu fish pond. What makes he Fujin's life turn such a big "bend"? It began when he Fujin noticed the barren pond in front of his house three years ago.

"three years ago, I don't know what happened to this pond in front of my house. There was no one to take care of it, and it was always there. At that time, I was working in a cloth factory. I passed by the pond every day. After a long time, I had some ideas and wondered if I could contract it out and try to raise fish. " On a crisp autumn afternoon, he Fujin told the story of that year while serving customers who came to fish from other places.

He Fujin soon began to contract fish ponds, negotiate the contract price with the village, and estimate the full cost of building fish ponds. "the contract price offered by the village for the fish pond is very cheap, 2000 yuan a year, and the real big end is the cost of desilting, building roads and building houses for the fish ponds, which costs a total of more than 300,000 yuan." He Fujin said. However, the "huge" investment of more than 300,000 yuan failed to scare off the cloth factory worker. With the full support of his family, he Fujin spent almost everything to build the fish pond.

"when the fish pond was first built, I was in high spirits. I bought tens of thousands of fish fry and put them in, but I forgot that I had no fish farming experience, which made me suffer a big loss in the first year." He Fujin said. One muggy night in July that year, when he came out to inspect the fish pond at more than 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, he suddenly found a large area of bluish white on the surface of the water. He Fujin, who is inexperienced, can only judge that it is due to lack of oxygen, but does not know how to deal with it. He can only hastily find his neighbors, fish up all the dying fish, and contact the buyer to prepare cheap treatment to reduce the loss. The buyer arrived a few hours later, when all the fish were dead. There are more than 50 kilograms of fish in each of the 12 pockets. He Fujin can only dig a hole and bury them all.

The loss of the first year taught a painful lesson to he Fujin. In the second year, he Fujin, who learned the lesson, contacted the Liuji Town Agricultural Service Center for technical support, and was selected as a science and technology demonstration household that year. Yizheng Aquatic Station clearly identified a technical expert for guidance. He actively participated in the technical training organized by the town and city, and asked the technical instructor for advice on fish farming, which became the daily life of he Fujin. This year, he Fujin learned how to regulate water quality, how to add oxygen to fish ponds, how to prevent pests and diseases for fish, and gradually changed from a fish culture layman to a professional. With the determination to fight a war on his back, he Fujin raised money to buy automatic feeding machines, aerators and other equipment, and built a fishing corridor on the fish pond to expand the fishing business. "the next year, excluding the various costs of fish fry and machinery, I earned tens of thousands of yuan, but it gave me confidence and let me know that as long as I had enough experience and the guidance of an instructor, it was not difficult to raise fish." He Fujin said.

Taking care of fish ponds is both technical and manual work. When building supporting facilities for fish ponds, he Fujin built a simple small board house on the edge of the pond, taking into account that fish farming should always pay attention to the growth of fish. "I walk around the fish pond every two or three hours, day or night. In this way, no matter what happens, I can deal with it in time so that there will not be too much loss. For the past three years, I have slept day and night. Whenever I am free, I will sleep in bed for a while, and then get up and get back to work. " At the same time, he Fujin said, while showing the "equipment" to deal with various situations: powder for oxygenating fish ponds, net pockets for fishing fish, and purifying agents for regulating water quality. At the same time, he Fujin also explored a kind of bait "formula" by himself. He carefully planted all kinds of fish and grass and fed them in the water with a fixed proportion of bait bought in the market, so that the fish were healthier and the meat was more delicate.

This year is the third year for he Fujin to raise fish. When it comes to the work of fishery science and technology, he is full of praise. He has not only reaped benefits, but also accumulated successful experience. He confidently dropped more than 100,000 yuan worth of fish fry in the fish pond. "the fish is growing well, and the fishing business is also good. It should be able to earn more than NT $200,000 for the whole year. In another two years, I am going to contract another nearby fish pond to further expand the scale. As a model household, I will also take the surrounding farmers to develop fish culture. " He Fujin is confident about the future.
