Sanshan Fish

　　Sanshan Village in Dushan Town, Echeng District, Ezhou City, Hubei Province, is located in the southwestern suburbs of Ezhou and is close to the Wuhan–Huangshi Expressway. The main attraction of Sanshan Village is Sanshan Lake, which gets its name from three small hills that jut into the lake, forming a peninsula. The lake covers an area of 25,000 mu. Sanshan Village makes full use of the abundant aquatic resources of Sanshan Lake and vigorously develops the aquaculture industry. Every household has dug intensive fish ponds, and all are engaged in aquaculture, forming a 20,000-mu large-lake fenced farming economic consortium, an 8,000-mu high-yield intensive fish pond area, and a 5,000-mu crab farming base.

　　　　Sanshan Village collaborates with colleges, universities, and aquatic research institutes to introduce high-quality aquatic products from scientific research institutions. Following the principles of ecological and three-dimensional farming, the village strives for high efficiency, high yield, and pollution-free production, actively promoting new varieties, new technologies, and new models. Relying on the influence of leading enterprises such as Shengdao Fish Market and Zhifa Agricultural Trade, the village vigorously develops the deep processing of high-quality, specialty, and premium aquatic products, with Wuchang fish as the main focus. This transforms the village’s product advantages into commercial advantages, effectively increasing the income of fish farmers. The village produces 7,000 tons of freshwater fish such as Wuchang fish, 450 tons of crabs, and 10 tons of soft-shelled turtles annually, with a total output value of 144 million yuan, and an average per capita income of 9,300 yuan for fishermen.
