Wei Zi, the king of Sturgeon, misses "the Sutra of raising Fish and getting Rich"

"if you sell as much as you can, you don't have to worry about selling at all!" Talking about the best-selling fish products, Wei Zinian, the "Sturgeon King" in Bagong Town, Jinchengjiang District, was delighted. "Last year, about 200000 jin of commercial fish were sold, with sales of more than 5 million yuan and a net income of more than 2 million yuan."

Wei Zinian, who is in his early 40s, is from Huanjiang. He grew up by the river and has been fishing for a living.

In 2008, after many years of fish farming, he accidentally heard from a friend that the sales of Sturgeon was very good, and the price of caviar was more expensive than gold, so he immediately came up with the idea of breeding Sturgeon.

Young and fearless, just do it. Wei Zinian came to Dahua to build a farm while learning Sturgeon culture techniques. In the autumn of 2008, he spent 100000 yuan to buy 20, 000 Sturgeon fry at one time from Dalian and began to raise Sturgeon.

However, his way of raising fish was not smooth, because he had no experience in transporting fish fry and raising Sturgeon over a long distance. as a result, the survival rate of fish fry was only 50%, and he lost more than 100,000 yuan after all sales. The frustration of breeding made Wei Zinian, who had just "entered the industry," lingering fear, but he did not give up.

In early 2013, after studying for several years, Wei Zinian re-opened up the battlefield and came to Bagong Town, Jinchengjiang District to build a fish pond and continue to raise Sturgeon.

In the following days, Wei Zinian often studied with his seniors and inquired about information on the Internet, and also went to participate in practical technical training held by the aquatic animal husbandry and veterinary department in the area. In addition, he slowly understood in practice, so that Sturgeon culture technology continued to mature. Bagong Town also listed Wei Zinian and other aquaculture demonstration sites and large farmers as "science and technology contact households", and carried out "science and technology marriage" with aquaculture and animal husbandry scientific and technological personnel to provide "zero distance" scientific and technological services at any time. Let farmers master excellent breeding, disease prevention and other technology, to promote Sturgeon culture on the right track.

After four months of efforts, he invested 1.5 million yuan to build 700 houses, 7000 ponds and 33 fiberglass nursery ponds. It was officially put into production in April 2013. Subsequently, he bought more than 400,000 Sturgeon sea flowers. Due to the technology in place, at the end of that year, Wei Zinian successfully sold 50,000 jin of Sturgeon, making a profit of more than 500,000 yuan.

"now my grasp of fish diseases can basically reach 90%, and the final survival rate of each batch of seedlings can be as high as 97%." Wei Zinian said confidently.

Sturgeon on the water quality requirements, and even to achieve "no industrial pollution, perennial constant temperature below 20 degrees" harsh point, just pull tribute pure "mountain spring water" has a unique advantage in culture.

"at present, about 200000 fish fry are raised every year and 200000 jin of commercial fish are sold, which is about 23 to 25 yuan per jin. Sales are about 500 or 6 million yuan. " Wei Zi said with a smile. It is reported that his farm can cultivate more than 400,000 fish fry every year, with an output value of 1.26 million yuan.

Because Sturgeon is in short supply, he can only maximize the culture density of each pond. At present, he is stepping up efforts to expand the scale of breeding, building more than 100 cages on the nearby river and preparing to put in 300000 Sturgeon fry.

Wei Zinian said that he plans to develop Sturgeon farming cooperatives, provide high-quality seedlings to surrounding farmers, provide free breeding technology to cooperative farmers, recycle adult fish, ensure marketing, and implement the "base + peasant household" farming model. let more villagers realize the dream of growing Sturgeon with him. The scale of cooperative farming strives for an annual output value of 10 million yuan.

He also plans to combine Sturgeon farming with leisure and tourism. By the Dagong River, tourists can not only watch, fish and relax, but also taste the Sturgeon Banquet.
