Xiangsheng soft-shelled turtle, as an organic aquatic product, has been certified by the relevant departments of the state. Walking into the Xiangsheng soft-shelled turtle farm in Yangmiao Town, Jiashan County is like walking into a water village garden.

"this farm has 180 mu, which integrates ecological farming and leisure fishery." Zhang, the boss of the farm, said that these soft-shelled turtles eat fish and aquatic plants, and the selling price is more than 220 yuan per kilogram.

"I have introduced 3000 Japanese soft-shelled turtle seedlings, which are sold for 2.50 yuan each, just like ordinary small turtles. This year, another 120000 little soft-shelled turtles have been bred, each for 4.50 yuan, with a maximum price of 6 yuan. " Shen Zhiming said that these Japanese soft-shelled turtle seedlings not only have fewer diseases and insect pests and grow faster, but also taste better than ordinary soft-shelled turtles and are recognized by the market.

Yang Fugen, a turtle farmer at the Ganyao Ecological Fish Cooperative, said that due to the introduction of new farming techniques, the production of soft-shelled turtles has increased significantly, and this year's soft-shelled turtles have made him a lot of money.

These soft-shelled turtles eat wild screws, small fish and aquatic plants. The total annual output is about 500 kilograms. 250 kilograms have been sold this year. " Speaking of soft-shelled turtle, Yang Fugen looked very excited.
