What is the prospect of sea cucumbers?

Sea cucumbers have been a good tonic since ancient times, known as the "king of all tonics" and "the first of eight delicacies" . The wisdom of the ancients is really admirable. At that time, there were no scientific and technological conditions such as machine analysis and nutritional analysis, but they were able to discover the preciousness of sea cucumbers. Some people say that the nutrition of sea cucumbers is not as good as eggs. Such people have a very one-sided understanding of sea cucumbers. Even most of those who have such arguments have never eaten sea cucumbers. The protein of sea cucumbers is only part of its nutrition. Sea cucumbers are also rich in 18 kinds of amino acids, among which the content of glycine, arginine and glutamic acid is much higher than that of other amino acids. In addition, the content of essential amino acids in sea cucumbers is significantly higher than that of other sea cucumbers. Amino acids are the material basis for synthesizing proteins and have extremely high nutritional and medicinal value.

In fact, the most valuable things about sea cucumbers are sea cucumber polysaccharides, sea cucumber saponins, cerebrosides, gangliosides and other sea cucumber-specific substances, which have obvious effects on regulating immunity, preventing cancer, and resisting human aging, and there are a lot of academic research as a basis. Therefore, sea cucumbers are increasingly valued by people.

Farming profit

The breeding costs of a farm are divided into the cost of sea cucumber seedlings, feed costs, water and electricity costs, employee wages, farm rental fees, tool and material costs, and loss costs. The approximate cost is basically more than 20,000 yuan. According to the current market price of sea cucumbers, the income per mu is about more than 40,000 yuan. After deducting the cost, the net income per mu is still more than 20,000 yuan. It seems that there is still a lot of profit to be made.

Market demand

Sea cucumber farming area and production

As the market demand expands, the need to expand the breeding area will increase production to meet people's consumption needs. Before this, only Dalian, Yantai and Weihai were breeding sea cucumbers, and then expanded to Shandong, Fujian, Hebei and other places. However, many areas cannot carry out large-scale breeding due to geographical restrictions, and some places still cannot meet market demand.
