Reveal the current situation of sea cucumber culture, don't be deceived by "wild sea cucumber"

As sea cucumbers have become popular health products, all kinds of sea cucumbers have also become gifts for relatives and friends to show concern for each other.

The propaganda of sea cucumber merchants is also varied, and there are even many elements of "false propaganda". As a result, many consumers who do not know the truth have been deceived and deceived by these propaganda.

Many businesses now advertise that their sea cucumbers are "wild sea cucumbers". In fact, this is not true. Sea cucumbers, which grow 20% naturally without any artificial intervention, can be called "pure wild sea cucumbers". This kind of sea cucumbers have basically disappeared due to overfishing and can only be bought at a sky-high price.

At present, the domestic sea cucumbers sold on the market in China are basically farmed sea cucumbers, and those publicized by "wild sea cucumbers" are generally "bottom seeded sea cucumbers". Bottom sowing sea cucumber refers to putting artificial seedlings into the sea area with suitable environmental conditions to make sea cucumbers grow naturally, because the growth environment is basically the same as that of wild sea cucumbers, so the quality can be comparable to that of pure wild sea cucumbers.

In fact, there are many ways of sea cucumber culture, in addition to bottom sowing, there are also enclosed sea culture, greenhouse culture and other ways, under these ways the growth of sea cucumbers generally grow faster, which is conducive to artificial intervention.

In recent years, "raising sea cucumbers in the south" has gradually become a major trend in the cultivation of sea cucumbers. On the one hand, the varieties of northern cucumbers are retained, on the other hand, the growth cycle is shortened and the cost is effectively reduced.

Like wild sea cucumbers, bottom-sown sea cucumbers have a long culture cycle. The cultured sea cucumbers sold on the market, especially the southern sea cucumbers, generally have a short cycle, which can be sold in less than a year, while the growth cycle of ordinary captive sea cucumbers is generally 1-2 years, and the bottom-sowing sea cucumber cycle is generally 3 years.

Generally speaking, the older the sea cucumber is, the bigger it is and the higher its nutritional value is. However, the life cycle of sea cucumbers is generally about 10 years, and after a certain number of years, sea cucumbers will autolysis, so it is not advisable to overemphasize the "age" of sea cucumbers.
