In the past two days, in Xiangshan No.1 Bridge Aquaculture Cooperative, the person in charge, Zhang Process, always paid attention to the change of water temperature, and was busy adding net covers to the aquaculture cages and reinforcing the fish raft cables to prevent the waves from hitting the cages, causing the large yellow croaker to be frightened and scratched.
Zhang Process said that from the beginning of receiving the cold wave information, the cooperative will catch some large yellow croaker that can be listed ashore, and some fish species weighing less than 100 grams have been sent to Fujian for the winter. “Now the water temperature is still about 10 C. Next, we will respond flexibly depending on the impact of the cold wave.” Zhang Process said.
At present, there are 240,000 square meters of mariculture cages in Xiangshan County, and the cultured species are mainly large yellow croaker. The culture area of seawater ponds is more than 57,000 mu, and the species include swimming crabs and shellfish.
In order to cope with this cold wave, Xiangshan County set up a steering group composed of personnel from aquatic technology extension station to remind seawater pond farmers to add aquaculture water in advance, improve the water depth, slow down the cooling rate of pond water and improve the aquaculture environment. At the same time, the cold wave information was released to farmers in the county through SMS platform to remind farmers to prepare for the cold wave.
