What is the significance of developing shrimp farming?

Freshwater shrimp is one of the most important freshwater shrimps in China. It is tender and delicious, rich in nutrition, and is deeply loved by people. It is a precious aquatic product. Vigorously developing artificial breeding of freshwater shrimp is not only an important measure to adjust the structure of the fishery industry, but also a good way to promote the development of fisheries, achieve fishery efficiency, and increase the income of fishermen (farmers).

Freshwater shrimps have excellent characteristics such as fast growth, strong reproductive capacity, wide adaptability, and high economic value. They are important freshwater shrimps in my country. However, in recent years, the development of freshwater shrimp farming industry has encountered difficulties, requiring the industry to take countermeasures in freshwater shrimp production and sales and think about countermeasures for the further development of freshwater shrimp farming industry. So what is the significance of developing freshwater shrimp farming?

(1) Increase total output and ease market supply

Freshwater shrimp is a high-quality aquatic product and is very popular in the market. For a long time, the supply has been in short supply. The development of freshwater shrimp farming can increase the total output of freshwater shrimp accordingly and alleviate the contradiction between production and sales in the market.

(2) Increase economic income and improve farmers’ enthusiasm

There are many ways to farm fresh shrimp, including single farming, mixed farming, intercropping, rice field farming, etc. Farmers can farm fresh shrimp according to the existing conditions and local conditions, with low investment costs and high economic benefits. Therefore, the development of fresh shrimp farming can increase farmers' economic income and improve farmers' enthusiasm.

(3) Increase varieties and enrich the market

For a long time, fishermen have mainly raised silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, crucian carp and bighead bream, and the breeding varieties are relatively old and single. As people's living standards continue to improve, ordinary back bone fish can no longer meet the needs of citizens. Therefore, the development of shrimp farming can also enrich the market varieties and enrich the people's vegetable basket.

(4) Adjust the aquaculture structure and promote the sustainable development of fisheries

The development of social economy affects the increase of breeding costs. Although workers' wages, bait, rent, etc. are rising year by year, the prices of conventional fish species have been steadily declining in recent years, thus affecting the economic benefits of aquaculture farmers. To develop fisheries and improve the enthusiasm of farmers, it is necessary to improve the breeding structure, adjust the breeding varieties, and increase unit output and benefits. The development of shrimp farming can appropriately reduce the number of conventional varieties and ensure the balance of supply and marketing in the market; in addition, the price of shrimp is relatively high, and it has excellent characteristics such as low investment, quick results, one-year cultivation, and four-season listing, which can effectively promote the sustainable development of the breeding industry.
