2204 deep-water cages in Hainan Province widen the way for fishermen to become rich in culture

Fifteen members of the sea Sturgeon deep-sea farming cooperative in Lingao County, Hainan tasted the benefits of deep-water cage culture. Since the cooperative was established in July 2008, with the support of relevant departments, the scale of deep-water cage culture has become larger and larger. It now has 146 wind-resistant deep-sea cages with a perimeter of 40 meters, 30 with a perimeter of 80 meters, and a working capital of more than 20 million yuan. As of last year, commercial fish had been farmed for 3.6 million jin, with a net profit of 5.6 million yuan. This is a microcosm of deep-water cage culture in Hainan Province. At present, 2204 deep-water cages have been put into operation in the province, an increase of 812 over last year, with an estimated total output of 22607 tons.

Experts say deep-water cages have become a floating bank for fishermen to increase their income. Experts believe that the advantages of deep-water cage culture are large culture capacity, less diseases, high yield and strong wind resistance, which is a new model of healthy culture.

Farmers fishing for gold and silver in deep water

On the blue sea, there are huge round cages scattered one by one, and groups of military Cao fish and golden Pomfret fish compete to peck at each other on the surface of the water, and the scene is spectacular. This is the scene seen by a reporter from Hainan Daily today at the deep-water cage culture base in Houshuiwan, Lingao.

In the past two years, Lingao County has fully seized the favorable opportunity of state financial support for the development of modern fisheries to speed up the development of deep-water cage culture. at present, the county has 1950 cages and has built the largest deepwater cage culture base in the country. Huang Liangzan, deputy director of the provincial ocean and fishery department, said.

Fu Ke, head of the Marine and Fisheries Bureau of Lingao County, said that at present, more than 220 households in the county have participated in deep-water cage culture, with considerable benefits.

Xian Guanghui, a farmer in Xincun Port, Lingshui, is very optimistic about the prospect of deep-water cage culture. He said that the average output of each mouthful of deep-water cages is at least 10 tons, and the input-output ratio is about 1Rd 1.3, that is, an investment of 100000 yuan can earn 30, 000 yuan.

According to a person in charge of the Marine and Fisheries Bureau of Lingshui Li Autonomous County, last year, 96 cages in the county sold 1195 tons of finished fish, with an income of 59.75 million yuan and a net profit of 11.68 million yuan.

Governments at all levels give full support without ambiguity.

The experiment of deep-water cage culture has been carried out in Hainan Province since 1998. after more than 10 years of exploration and development, deep-water cage culture has stepped into the fast track of development.

In recent years, the rapid development of deep-water cages has benefited from the injection of funds for the development of modern agricultural production. Zhao Zhongshe, director of the provincial ocean and fishery department, said.

Due to the large one-time investment of deep-water cages, it is difficult for ordinary farmers to accept. In order to accelerate the development of deepwater cage aquaculture in Hainan Province, the Hainan provincial government has allocated more than 7 million yuan in financial funds to support farmers to build cages in recent years. In 2008, Hainan Province listed deep-water cage culture in Lingao Houshui Bay as a demonstration project for the development of tropical modern agricultural production, and arranged a total of 31.28 million yuan for the development of modern agricultural production in the central government for two consecutive years. 664 deep-water cages and 10 auxiliary vessels were built in the county, which solved the problem of insufficient funds for individual fishermen.

Up to now, the funding for deep-water cage culture supported by governments at all levels has reached 38.03 million yuan, injecting vitality into the deep-water cage culture industry.

At present, the deepwater cage culture base in Hainan Province, mainly distributed in Linggao Houshuiwan Base (962), Gold Base (988), Lingshui New Village Base (126), Sanya West Island Base (112), Changjiang (12), Haikou (4). Mainly farmed golden Pomfret, Jun Cao fish and grouper.

Zhao Zhongshe said: the development of deep-water cage culture is an important measure for our province to change the mode of fishery development and promote the strategic adjustment of the fishery economic structure, so that aquaculture can be transferred from the inner bay to offshore, thus increasing the income of fishermen with high fishery efficiency.
