Antarctic krill belongs to the krill family, which belongs to a kind of shrimp. It is extremely small, generally 45-60 mm in length, and the largest is only 90 mm. This small shrimp does not live in the river around us, but far away in the Antarctic waters of antarctic ocean. It lives in groups, and sometimes the highest density can reach 0-30,000 per cubic meter/kloc. This kind of krill takes tiny phytoplankton as its daily food source, and its life span is about 6 years. Their existence is very important to the Antarctic ecosystem. If we evaluate this kind of krill in terms of biomass energy, it is the most successful animal species on earth, with a wide distribution range, but it is the most abundant in the Atlantic region!
Krill looks very small, but they have a very interesting life under the sea. The eggs of krill are discharged in the water, but before hatching, they will continue to sink, and the hatching will not be affected during the sinking process, until they sink to the bottom of the sea, and the deepest can sink to more than 2,000 meters. The vitality of these krill is also extremely tenacious. When hatching, it is in a sinking state, but when it grows, it is in a floating state. Contrary to hatching, it keeps floating in the process of development, develops in the floating process, and finally feeds on the surface of seawater and thrives again!
Although krill is small, it is the organism with the highest protein content, with a protein content of more than 50%, and it is also rich in essential amino acids and vitamin A in human tissues, so eating krill for a long time has the effect of beautifying the skin; Although the skin of krill is thin, the meat is rich, tender and delicious. Krill not only has the effect of beautifying skin, but also has great medicinal value. It can be used to treat gastric ulcer and other diseases. If you have stomach problems, you can try to eat more krill. Therefore, in view of these values, krill has now become the target of world fishermen.
Nowadays, Antarctic krill is a "gold mine at sea". According to incomplete statistics, the current resources of Antarctic krill are 6.5-/kloc-0.0 billion tons. Why has China become the last "dark horse"? In 20 12, China designed the first professional fishing boat for Antarctic krill-Furong, and China's fishing for Antarctic krill also increased greatly. As a result, in 20 19, China's "Deep Blue" was born, which had advanced fishing technology, and its birth also marked that China's Antarctic krill industry entered a glorious period! In the future, it will become the "dark horse" of Antarctic krill industry in China and even the whole world! China catches more than100000 tons of Antarctic krill every year, which is second only to Norway!
Although "Deep Blue" has attacked, China has not stopped researching more advanced fishing vessels, and "Antarctic" has entered the design stage, and it is expected to see the cooperation between the two in the future. At that time, China's Antarctic krill industry will be invincible and no one can beat it!
