CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Where is China's kelp mainly produced?

1. Where is China's kelp mainly produced?

The main production areas of Chinese kelp are Dalian in Liaoning, Rongcheng in Shandong and Xiapu in Fujian. Kelp, also known as Lunbu, Konbu and Jiangbaicai, is a perennial large edible algae. Kelp grows on rocks 2m below the low tide line at the seaside. It is artificially cultivated and grown on ropes or bamboo. Kelp is low in calories, moderate in protein, and rich in minerals. It is an ideal

2. How should kelp be planted?

Kelp is a common food in many people's daily life. Many people like to use kelp to make soup and cook vegetables. Although many people like to eat kelp, most people don't know how kelp is grown. In fact, the planting method of kelp is different from the crops we usually see. Kelp is not grown in the soil but reproduced in the sea.

If you want to plant kelp, first we need to choose the right kelp seedlings. Then we need to tie the roots of the kelp seedlings to the rope, place the roots of the kelp seedlings upwards, and fix them on the root rope of the floating dam. Then we need to place the head of the kelp seedlings under the seabed so that it can grow towards the sea. This inverted method is conducive to better photosynthesis of the kelp seedlings, which is more conducive to the growth of kelp, and makes the kelp grow more plump and thick.

Moreover, this inverted planting method makes it easier to harvest the kelp after it matures, thereby improving harvesting efficiency and reducing working time.

When the kelp is ripe, we can cut it into suitable sizes and sell it in the market. Generally speaking, we will cut the kelp into kelp shreds and kelp knots. This method will not only make the kelp look more beautiful, but also make it easier for us to pick it up and eat it after cooking. If it is not cut into kelp shreds or made into kelp knots, the kelp is too slippery and difficult to pick up with chopsticks.

If we don't sell fresh kelp to the market, we can also dry it into dried kelp. Although dried kelp is not as delicious as fresh kelp, it can be stored for a longer time. However, in my opinion, I think the taste of dried kelp is fresher, and there is no difference in kelp. If we are not very picky about this aspect, we can also buy some dried kelp in our daily life and put it at home for cooking.

You should choose an unpolluted ocean, and then put some mud and sand on the seabed. It is best to make cement and add some silt. When planting kelp, you should keep a certain distance and add some nutrient solution regularly. The seawater temperature should not be too high, about 15 degrees, and the sun should not shine directly on the kelp. You should also pay attention to the interference of diseases and insects.

First of all, you must choose excellent varieties, and secondly, ensure sufficient nutrients and light.

Planting in the sea

3. Where is kelp produced?

Kelp is naturally distributed along the northern coast of North Korea, northern Honshu, Japan, Hokkaido, and the southern coast of the former Soviet Union, but it is most widely distributed in Aomori Prefecture and Iwate Prefecture in Hokkaido, Japan. In addition, it is also distributed along the coast of Wonsan, North Korea. my country did not originally produce kelp, but after its introduction, it has also grown naturally in the fertile sea areas of the Liaodong and Shandong peninsulas in my country. Currently, artificial breeding has been promoted to the coasts of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places, but it is a cold temperate species.

The quality and growth and maturity period of kelp vary depending on factors such as the sea area, temperature difference from south to north, light, and seawater quality.

In my country, there are three major kelp production areas:

1. In the Xiapu area of ​​Fujian Province, the sea water is very clean, so the kelp grown here is of the best quality and the most expensive.

2. In Dalian, Liaoning Province, the kelp harvesting period is from mid-May to mid-July every year. The kelp is of good quality and very fresh, so it is in short supply.

3. In Rongcheng, Shandong, the harvest period is from mid-May to mid-July every year, and the output here is the largest. However, there are more industries in the north, and the seawater pollution is relatively serious, so the kelp leaves produced here are very wide, short and thick, and the taste is not very good, so the price is relatively cheap.
