The dongshan county of fujian is the country's main abalone breeding and breeding base, with more than 3. 6 billion abalone seedlings cultivated last year, from which about 60 per cent of the country's abalone seedlings originate. Right now, it's the time of the abalone harvest, the time of the market. How's the abalone harvest this year
This year's abalone harvest has begun and fishermen are busy collecting abalone. In the main production area of east shan abalone, the area covers 10,000 acres, from which abalone can be sold to the market at around 60,000 pounds per day。
The abalone is being sorted, classified by head size, and each basket has a label on its weight. There are a few abalones in one pound, and we call them abalones. Eight pounds, we call it eight, ten pounds, we call it ten. The bigger the abalone, the higher the price. Now the market price for this common abalone is 30 to 50 pounds. When the abalones are sorted out, they are shipped to the docks, loaded into a hot, oxygen-rich water truck and sent to the whole country in a fresh state。
The giant abalone that was bred in dongshan -- the green plate abalone, which is about the size of a palm, weighs almost a pound. This abalone has been developed by the university of xiamen team for over a decade. It has broken the technological bottlenecks that do not allow large-scale abalones to grow in the country. In addition to being large, the abalone has the advantage of growing fast and high temperature, and in the summer it will survive by about 25 per cent more than normal abalone. In contrast to its high quality, its seedlings and finished products are at least three to four times higher than normal abalone prices, and the abalone market price of one abalone can be 300 pounds。
In dongshan, high-yield, high-quality abalone, in addition to being sold directly, also undergo a number of deep-processed products, such as abalone drying and ready-to-eat canning. According to statistics, in toshiyama, abalone seedlings and deep processing enterprises have accumulated more than 20,000 jobs, and abalone production can reach more than $3 billion annually, significantly increasing the economic value of the abalone, extending the chain of industry and helping local fishermen to increase their production。
