Is it safe to eat hairtail during the epidemic?

The author analyzes from three aspects:

According to the official response from China, there is no evidence that eating seafood can cause COVID-19 infection. Current studies have shown that COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and close contact. In a relatively closed environment, long-term exposure to high-concentration aerosols may cause transmission through aerosols. Other transmission routes have not yet been clarified.

The seafood market outbreak was mainly caused by the conditions for clustered epidemics. There was a large flow of people, indirect and direct contact between people, and a relatively closed environment. According to the Beijing epidemic report, the new coronavirus was detected on the outer packaging of imported seafood, not on the seafood itself.

When we handle seafood, we must wear gloves during the process and pay attention to hygiene conditions. Raw and cooked cutting boards must be separate. Wash hands before and after handling seafood. Raw and cooked food cannot be mixed!

At present, the country has very strict inspections on imported food, so imported seafood is still relatively reliable. Especially after the epidemic incident in the seafood market in Beijing, the inspection of imported food will be more stringent. And there are no reports of infection cases in our domestic seafood. You can eat locally produced seafood.

So seafood is edible, and hairtail is of course edible. But you need to be careful about the processing! It is recommended not to eat it raw, but to cook it!

You can eat hairtail during the epidemic. First of all, you need to make sure that the hairtail has been scientifically tested and does not carry any virus. It is safe and there is no problem eating it. In the absence of security checks, it is better to eat less, which is good for your own health and the health of others.

It's not safe. It carries viruses at any time. So it's best not to eat it.

Can hairtail be farmed? Do you like to eat hairtail?

I like to eat hairtail, but hairtail is not suitable for farming.

First, under the current technical level, it is difficult to breed hairtail because of its unique living and breeding habits. This is because hairtail is a deep-water fish, and it will die quickly due to lack of pressure when it comes out of the water. Therefore, the hairtails that are salvaged are all dead hairtails with broken stomachs, and even fishermen have never seen a living hairtail.

Therefore, it is very difficult to breed hairtail. In other words, if we don’t break through the “breeding” of artificial reproduction and still rely on wild natural resources, it is not a truly successful breeding, not to mention that even simple breeding is not completely successful. In addition, hairtail has migratory characteristics and is not suitable for artificial breeding.

Second, the production volume of hairtail is really too large, and it is really useless to discuss the level of hairtail farming technology. Although some areas have begun to build hairtail farming bases, even if the farming is successful, the price will be several times higher than that of wild hairtail. In addition, hairtail must eat live food, that is, living small fish and shrimps, so if you want to raise hairtail, you must supply the freshest live food every day. It is impossible to raise hairtail with concentrated feed.

This will greatly increase the breeding cost. Not only do we have to raise hairtail, but we also need to raise small fish and shrimps for the hairtail. The capital investment is extremely large. With the cost rising, who would want to continue? What's more, breeding technology is a difficult problem that needs to be overcome, and it is not something that can be solved with money.

Another thing is that hairtail fish are ferocious by nature. Although they mainly feed on krill, they are particularly greedy and their internal disorder is quite serious. Data show that in the ecological environment, about 28% of the food in the stomach of hairtail fish in the East China Sea is hairtail fish of the same type. During the period of food shortage, this situation is even more serious, and the self-consumption rate exceeds about 36%. Therefore, this situation greatly increases the difficulty of artificial breeding.

Therefore, even if the bottleneck of hairtail farming is solved, large-scale farming is still not practical. The number of hairtail is large and the cost of fishing is relatively low, so the market price is still very low. However, it is reported that the Fisheries Research Institute has achieved success in solving the initial problem, that is, the artificial feeding of hairtail.

Yes, I still like to eat it. I think there are many ways to cook this kind of fish, and it tastes very good. I especially love this flavor.

Hairtail cannot be directly farmed. Hairtail belongs to deep-sea fish and cannot be farmed artificially. I prefer to eat hairtail because I feel the meat is more delicate.

Love to eat. Very delicious.

Hairtail is very difficult to breed. Generally speaking, hairtail cannot be farmed. Because hairtail is a deep-sea fish, its living habits are in the high-pressure environment of the deep sea. The environment is not suitable, so it cannot be farmed in large quantities.
