In order to protect the dollfish resources, as early as 1988, China will be included in the list of national key protection of wild animals. At present, China's dollfish sanctuaries have increased to 21, distributed in Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Sichuan, Henan and other ten provinces and cities. On the question of whether wild baby fish can be eaten, the attitude of experts is very clear.
The baby fish, scientifically known as the "giant salamander," is known as the "giant panda in the water" and "a living fossil that can swim," and is unique to China alone in the world. It is the only one in the world in China and has been listed as endangered by the United Nations. However, it is worrying that in recent years, into the table of the dollfish seems to be more and more, in September 2007, the reporter in Zhangjiajie City, a five-star hotel to see the dollfish was cooked into a delicious dish.
Since the wild baby fish as a national second-class protected animal is determined not to eat, why would blatantly appear in the restaurant market? How many restaurants are operating dollfish? In Beijing, Changsha and other cities in several high-end hotels, the reporter was surprised to find that the major hotels are competing to introduce a variety of dollfish delicacies. The price is up to tens of thousands of yuan.
The person in charge of the hotel did not hesitate to take out the aquatic wildlife business use license, which is clearly stamped with the Hunan Provincial Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Affairs Department of the seal, it seems that the hotel is indeed in the legal sale of dollfish. Without the approval of the relevant units, any capture, transportation, business use of wild baby fish are illegal. So where does the dollfish supplied to the restaurant come from?
An expert once made calculations that a farmer who raised 50 young salamanders could earn more than 10,000 yuan in the first year, and after four years, the 50 baby fish could fetch a high price of nearly 500,000 yuan. Huge profits make many breeders rush, now, only in Hunan Province, there are more than 30 enterprises and nearly 10,000 farmers breeding dollfish, indeed, for farmers to increase income opened up a new way. Although the dollfish can now be artificially cultured, but the number of dollfish in China is still particularly rare, that is because the conditions of the dollfish breeding special and its special. We through the following story, may be able to join this industry farmers friends to bring a little inspiration.
This huge cave is dark and humid, and even in broad daylight it is mysterious. Into the cave, before the eyes of all the reporter was surprised. Originally, in this mysterious cave, there are thousands of dollfish.
Wang Guoxing Engaged in the research and breeding of dollfish for nearly 20 years, so that the artificial reproduction rate of dollfish to reach more than 90%, by the same industry is called the "father of the dollfish"
Dollfish once brought countless joy to the old Wang's childhood, however, due to the gradual deterioration of the natural environment and the lawless elements of the poaching, Zhangjiajie mountainous areas of the country. However, due to the gradual deterioration of the natural environment and poaching by unscrupulous elements, the mountain streams in Zhangjiajie have become increasingly cold, and it is no longer difficult to hear the cry of a baby. In order to protect this precious amphibian, Hunan Province has put forward the idea of development for protection.
After the door to industrialization of the baby fish opened, some farmers with some financial strength began to invest. Wang Guoxing is one of them. Dollfish breeding was once a world-class problem, the reason is that it is in vitro fertilization, and the female body spawning and male body sperm production is not at the same time, sperm and egg survival time are very short, so the dollfish artificial breeding technology has been hovering, the general survival rate is only about 10%. The people called "father of the dollfish" Wang Guoxing, but the use of caves for live water breeding. Greatly increased the survival rate.
However, the seemingly docile dollfish cost old Wang a finger. It was a summer three years ago when a heavy rainstorm came out of nowhere. What's worse, a 30-plus pound breeding dollfish was being washed out of its hole by the floodwaters! It takes years, even a decade, to raise a breeding fish!
The dollfish may look loyal and mute, but with its sharp teeth, it won't let go once it bites down on something. By 2006, Lao Wang's cave had bred more than 20,000 dollfish, becoming a locally famous dollfish breeding and cultivation base.
Expert tips: really want to normal farmers domestication breeding it is not the average farmer can raise, it has to be natural conditions, water ah, site ah, temperature ah, bait fish ah, technology ah, it is because of bad breeding on the death of the death of the loss of the increase after the increase. Dollfish is suitable for the dark and humid environment, the water temperature is strictly controlled between 18-20 degrees, the growth period of about 5 years, investment in aquaculture dollfish need a certain economic strength.
Now, in Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Hunan and other provinces, dollfish artificial culture began to flourish, a large number of farmers into it. However, no matter how this industry develops, the protection of the dollfish is the first priority, all domestication and breeding activities must be included in the strict supervision of the functional departments, and must not be illegal transportation and trade before the relevant conditions are met. So in our country, on the breeding and sale of dollfish in the end what are the regulations?
Expert tips: Giant salamanders, which are also state-protected animals, are not generally raised by farmers, and now many farmers are to be raised. To raise us according to the provisions of the Wildlife Protection Law, to encourage domestication and breeding, rational development and utilization. Although the dollfish can be farmed, but according to the relevant provisions of the state, the sale of dollfish must be approved by the provincial fisheries department issued by the business use of the license, even with the license, artificial breeding of dollfish can not be all marketed, only the disabled body, infertile body and the child of the second generation is allowed to be business use. This means that even if the hotel has a legal business license, it does not mean that any dollfish can be eaten.
The legal business utilization of dollfish has only just begun, but the prospect of this emerging breeding industry has attracted much attention. Now, in Zhangjiajie appeared a reasonable mode of operation: to handle the dollfish breeding enterprises with domestication and breeding licenses as a backing, in the relevant procedures, farmers by the farm to provide salamander seedling feeding, the farm is responsible for technical support, to the salamander 4 kilograms of maturity, and then by the farm to take back all of them.
