"Focus on lobster breeding and pay attention to market conditions", hello everyone, and welcome to today's "crayfish price network"! In the past two years, if you ask what aquatic products are most popular with consumers, crayfish ranging from a few yuan a catty to twenty or thirty can be said to be the biggest dark horse in the aquatic industry. The price of crayfish is rising year by year, and this year's voice is particularly loud. However, in the face of rising shrimp prices to varying degrees every year, consumers' enthusiasm for consumption has not diminished. No, now is the season when a large number of crayfish are on the market, and there is a shrimp-eating craze everywhere. All kinds of restaurants that do lobster business have an endless stream of customers and their business is booming.

Nowadays, crayfish have spread all over the country, but there are "cousins" of crayfish in the market, and the treatment is very different.

This cousin in the author's mouth is the "Australian freshwater lobster" originating in Australia. Like crayfish, "Australian shrimp" is a kind of shrimp belonging to Crustacea, Decapoda and Fruit. At present, Australia has formed a large-scale aquaculture, and it is also one of the main shrimps that earn foreign exchange through export. Australian green shrimps have strong local "combat" ability, but they are not so popular when they leave their hometown and come to China.

In recent years, Guangdong has taken the lead in introducing and artificially propagating fry and adult shrimp culture. After a period of culture, it was found that "Australian shrimp" grew fast and had strong disease resistance, but it was difficult to meet the breeding needs of farmers because of its low egg production and poor fecundity. However, the lack of high-quality shrimp seedlings leads to high seedling prices and increased breeding costs, which is particularly difficult to popularize.

Not only is it unpopular with farmers, but some Australian freshwater lobsters with chicken ribs on the market are also difficult for consumers to like. To say that Australian freshwater lobster is big, full of meat and rich in nutrition, people prefer the big lobster in the sea; In terms of taste, "Australian shrimp" is not as good as crayfish with diverse practices, tender meat and delicious taste. So when you buy shrimp and aquatic products in the market, you will see more crayfish or prawns and new prawns, but rarely Australian freshwater lobsters.

It is difficult to breed and the advantages are small, which leads to the obscurity of Australian freshwater lobster. On the other hand, what makes crayfish popular? Contrary to the situation of "Australian shrimp", crayfish is becoming more and more popular not only because of market demand, but also because of other conditions. The data shows that in 20 17 years, the national crayfish culture area reached120,000 mu, and this figure is expected to expand to 20 million mu last year; In 20 18, the total national crayfish output is expected to reach10.6 million tons, an increase of 45% compared with 20 17. The aquaculture area has been continuously expanded, the lobster output has been continuously improved, and the supply end has been guaranteed, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of crayfish industry.

There is a market but the supply is unstable, so it is difficult for the industry to achieve sustainable development; Moreover, the supply is sufficient, but there is no market demand, and the industry is unsustainable. If both conditions are met, the industry can become stronger and better, and crayfish just did this.

This is why two kinds of freshwater lobsters, one can be spread all over the country, and the other is difficult to serve on the table.
