Starfish invaded the Jiaozhou Bay in Qingdao and ate clams and oysters, which caused great economic losses to farmers.
At present, the fishery department is actively trying to find a way, promising that the farmers will give a treatment plan within three days. Most of the losses of the farmers will have to be borne by themselves, and they may take out insurance. The government department may give some compensation accordingly, but they are very few, and it is necessary to fundamentally control the starfish invasion.
1. In an emergency, the starfish invaded JIAOZHOU Bay, Qingdao, eating clams and oysters, and the farmers were miserable.
The large-scale invasion of starfish in JIAOZHOU Bay, Qingdao, caused great trouble to the farmers. According to the farmers, the phenomenon of starfish invasion was discovered last year, but this year's large-scale invasion was the first time to be seen.
Starfish breed very fast, and belong to carnivorous animals. Starfish's mouth is below, and they specialize in eating smaller foods such as clams, oysters and sea cucumbers, and sometimes they get crazy and even eat their own kind.
According to experts, this large-scale gathering is due to the existence of delicious food that attracts starfish, because shellfish food is what starfish like to eat, and farmers in Jiaozhou Bay are breeding clams, oysters, sea cucumbers, etc., so these delicious foods attract starfish.
local farmers said that because of the large-scale invasion of starfish, they had to hire people to clean it up. Each boat can salvage four to five kilos of starfish every day. Although it is very beautiful and fun to watch the purple and white starfish, it is a great harm to farmers. Wherever he goes, he will eat a lot of clams and oysters, and farmers may lose their money. 2, expert analysis, a large number of starfish gathered, it may be that the living environment has changed, and the food that attracts it < P > The farmer told reporters that he invested more than 1.7 million clam seedlings, but because of the large number of starfish gathered, he would lose all his money. Every day, he spent five or six thousand yuan to hire a boat to salvage starfish.
There are no divers in the local people. Divers are all from the northeast. The market economic value of starfish is relatively low, only about a catty in 4 yuan. At the same time, although the nutritional value of starfish is high, its cholesterol content is relatively high, so not all people are suitable for eating seafood.
Starfish breed very fast. A female starfish can spawn 2, eggs twice a year. Think about how fast the starfish breed, and you can't catch it completely by hiring people to salvage it. Farmers say that the place where the starfish is located will change with the high tide, so this artificial fishing method has little effect.
Farmers have applied to the relevant departments for better methods to catch starfish and reduce their economic losses. Generally, farmers can take out insurance, perhaps insurance companies can pay some compensation, and I hope the local government can give some subsidies.
