How much do coastal fishermen earn?

I have lived near Haizhaozaobo since I was a child. My mother was an employee of a fishery company before she retired. Many of my relatives live in small fishing villages and are also fishermen who make a living by fishing. I think the income of coastal fishermen is still quite high, and it is incomparable to ordinary city dwellers. Now fishermen are synonymous with "rich people" here, especially those who have boats and rent the sea for seawater aquaculture. The income of coastal fishermen mainly comes from the following sources: 1. Diesel subsidies for fishing boats: Now because of the fishing moratorium, many places provide a certain amount of subsidies to fishing boats. 2. Income from fishing: The current selling price of seafood can be said to be expensive. If you encounter a good catch in the peak fishing season, you can say that one net is worth half a year. Two years ago, a relative of my family once caught hundreds of kilograms of shrimp in one net. At that time, the purchase price at the seaside was 140 yuan per kilogram. For a small horsepower fishing boat like his, the income can be said to be very high.

3. Income from aquaculture: Although offshore fishery resources are now depleted, offshore aquaculture is now thriving, and the aquacultured seafood is in short supply. Especially for the aquaculture of marine delicacies, it can be said that the income is higher. If there is a good harvest in one of the three years, the income will be considerable.

4. Aquatic product processing: Many fishermen are now engaged in aquatic product processing because they have unique advantages and naturally earn a lot of money. 5. Sightseeing or outdoor fishing: Many people who have never seen the sea like to go to the seaside. Fishermen with fishing boats at home will take tourists to the sea or open fishing houses during the peak tourist season during the fishing moratorium. Fishing is also a popular leisure activity. Many people keep fishing boats and take people out to sea to fish, which also makes a lot of money.

Fishermen's work at sea is also very hard. If they do not have the experience of working for others at sea, then excluding the fishing moratorium, the minimum income of a skilled fisherman is about 80,000 yuan a year. However, most people cannot do this job.

Although fishermen work hard, they earn a lot of money. Coastal fishermen are basically wealthy families with hidden wealth. Seafood is a favorite ingredient for everyone. The price of seafood is generally not low. Moreover, fishermen not only go out to sea to fish, but also engage in artificial breeding.

It's okay. Making a living from the sea also depends on the weather. You can only go out to sea to fish when the weather is good. If the weather is bad, you can't go out to sea and have no income.

It has to be said that the income of coastal fishermen is still very good. Ordinary fishermen can earn more than hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, but this kind of work is very hard.

Fishermen along the coast go out early to fish, earning a net profit of 1,200 yuan a day, and at worst they can earn 700 to 800 yuan.

This year, Yantai Changdao has a bumper harvest of kelp. How should kelp be cultivated?

Kelp is a very common large brown algae, distributed in the sea areas of Liaodong and Shandong peninsulas in my country. The nutritional value of kelp is very high, so it often appears on our dining table. In addition, kelp also has certain medicinal value, so it has long been a very important item in agricultural products. There are many ways to cook kelp, such as salad, stew, braised, etc., and the taste is quite good. Many farmers have escaped poverty and become rich by cultivating kelp. The bumper harvest of kelp in Changdao, Yantai is another exciting good news. Maybe many people, like me, don’t know how to cultivate kelp. In fact, it mainly depends on the growth environment, cultivation method and the final processing and harvesting.

1. The growth environment of kelp

Kelp has very high requirements for the growth environment. It must have fertile water quality and a place with a high safety factor. The growth of kelp is mainly affected by two factors, one of which is temperature and the other is light. If these two points can be guaranteed, the yield of kelp can also be guaranteed. In addition, kelp requires smooth water flow in the sea area where it grows, and the nitrogen nutrition in the seawater will also affect the yield of kelp.

2. Breeding methods

There are generally two types of aquaculture methods used in our country. The first is vertical aquaculture and the second is horizontal aquaculture. The aquaculture methods vary depending on the region. For example, vertical aquaculture is mainly used in the northern sea area, while horizontal aquaculture is used in Zhejiang. Although the aquaculture methods are different, the final results are actually similar.

3. Final Harvest

Kelp matures at different times, so farmers will harvest the kelp that matures first. Some farmers will also harvest the seedlings near the breeding racks, which is also beneficial to the yield and quality of the kelp. After all, if there is too much kelp, it will also affect the yield of the kelp. Some farmers will directly dry the harvested kelp in the sun, and some will spread a layer of salt on it before drying it.

When cultivating kelp, you should choose healthy kelp seedlings with uniform size and bright color. The time of leaving the warehouse for the seedlings should be determined according to the water temperature, which should be stable below 19 degrees. First, temporarily cultivate them in a sea area with small wind and wave leakage, clear water color and smooth water flow. During the cultivation period, you should remove the closed kelp in time, adjust the water layer, and brush it frequently to prevent diseases. In addition, it is best to use fertilizer water for water quality, and avoid cultivating in seawater polluted by industrial wastewater.

Kelp needs to be planted in dry water. In the early stage, you need to change the water frequently. Then when the kelp seedlings emerge, it is not necessary. You don’t need to change the water so frequently, but you need to pay attention to nutrition.

The technology of kelp farming is very advanced. It is necessary to choose natural sea areas with small waves and clear water to cultivate excellent varieties and avoid polluted waters. Fertilization is also required during the breeding period.
