Catfish

Catfish

　　Catfish belong to the order Siluriformes, family Siluridae, and genus Silurus. Not only do they grow quickly and reach a large size, but they also tolerate low temperatures and low oxygen levels. Their flesh is tender, rich in nutrients, and delicious, making them a high-protein, low-fat food that is highly favored by consumers.　　　　Currently, China is developing catfish fry resources to meet market demand. To address the issue of catfish fry supply, Group 1 of Dianshangang Village, Chengnan Point, Linqiong Town has made full use of its geographical and water resource advantages to vigorously develop catfish fry breeding and adult fish production. By applying advanced science and technology and through years of exploration and practice, it has now established a 150-acre “Catfish Breeding and Production Base.” The base can breed various species such as the southern catfish, hybrid catfish, river hybrid catfish, and triangle catfish, and has formed an integrated system covering fry breeding, adult fish farming, and sales. It provides services to fish farmers including fish pond design, aquaculture technical guidance, feed supply, fry cultivation, and adult fish sales.　　　　The base currently produces 50 million waterborne fry, 10 million standard-sized fry, and 40,000–50,000 pounds of adult fish annually, generating an annual output value of 1 million yuan and a profit of 400,000 yuan. Fry are sold to over 20 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions, including Shenzhen, Haikou, Guangzhou, Guangxi, Yunnan, Liaoning, Jilin, Changchun, Harbin, Beijing, Beihai, Shenyang, Lanzhou, Xining, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Changsha, Wuhan, Xichang, Chongqing, Chengdu, and Ya’an. The products are in high demand, achieving excellent economic and social benefits. The base’s sales volume and technical level are among the top in the country.
