CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much does a pound of sea bass cost at the market?

1. How much does a pound of sea bass cost at the market?

Dear, the terminal market price of California bass is about 25-28 yuan per catty.

Hope you help!

2. Swimming crabs are 8 yuan, grass carp, carp, and California bass have all dropped in price, and bullfrogs are as low as 3 yuan. What's going on?

The market has always been ruled by the iron law that prosperity is followed by decline and adversity is followed by prosperity. In the first half of the year, due to factors such as the reduction in breeding volume and the obstruction of imported aquatic products, the prices of aquatic products such as freshwater fish rose sharply, and the price of a single species of fish increased significantly. However, since late June, the market has been divided, and the prices of some freshwater fish such as carp, mandarin fish, and grass carp have continued to fall. In particular, the price of swimming crabs has plunged sharply in recent times and has now dropped to as low as 8 yuan. So what happened in the aquatic market?

01. The price of swimming crabs has dropped to 8 yuan

Speaking of swimming crabs, they are the favorite of many people. The recent drop in the price of crabs has caused huge losses to farmers, but it is good news for consumers. Because of the bumper harvest of swimming crabs this year, farmers thought they would make a lot of money, but who would have thought that the price would plummet.

According to a stall owner at a seafood market in Hangzhou, the most expensive crab has dropped to 45 yuan per catty, 15 yuan lower than the 60 yuan per catty when it was first put on the market. Now some smaller crabs are only sold for 23-25 ​​yuan per catty, and fresh crabs that have just died are sold for 8 yuan, which is really close to being "cheap". There are also media reports that the lowest price of swimming crabs in Qingdao has also dropped to 10 yuan per catty, and the supply is sufficient.

On a certain online sales channel, swimming crabs are sold for only 18 yuan per catty, with sales of up to thousands of orders per day, and it is indicated that this price will remain for a period of time.

Now, the main reason for the continuous decline in the price of swimming crabs is that after the sea opened this year, the output of crabs was very good, so the price naturally became much cheaper.

02. Freshwater fish prices fell sharply

Since July, the prices of freshwater fish and other aquatic products have continued to weaken, with some varieties experiencing huge declines, and the market performance has been poor, including:

The price of carp has dropped from 9.8 yuan per catty in May to 5.5 yuan now, a drop of 4.3 yuan per catty, a drop of 43.9%. The prices of grass carp, California bass, yellow catfish, and white shrimp have also dropped compared with the previous week. Grass carp has dropped from 8 yuan to 7.5 yuan per catty, California bass has dropped from 17.5 yuan to 15.8 yuan per catty, and white shrimp has also dropped by 40 cents to 18.5 yuan per catty; yellow catfish has dropped from 12.5 yuan to 12.0 yuan per catty.

03. Bullfrog prices drop to as low as 5 yuan

In addition to the sharp drop in the prices of freshwater fish and swimming crabs, the price of bullfrogs has also shown a significant decline. Now it has fallen below the 10 yuan mark across the board, and in some areas the price of bullfrogs has fallen to the bottom of 5 yuan. It is understood that recently in the Chenghai area of ​​Shantou, Guangdong, the price of bullfrogs weighing 3-4 taels is only 3-4 yuan per catty, which is now below the cost line; even bullfrogs weighing 4-8 or 9 taels have fallen below 10 yuan.

In summary, whether it is swimming crabs, freshwater fish, or bullfrogs this year, the recent market prices have fallen sharply, which has caught a lot of aquatic farmers by surprise. They did not expect the prices to drop to this level. So what is the reason? According to market insiders in the aquatic market, there are four main factors that have led to the decline in aquatic product prices this year:

First, the amount of breeding has increased. This is not difficult to understand. Due to the high prices of swimming crabs and bullfrogs in the previous year and the year before, and the sharp rise in the price of freshwater fish in the first half of this year, the amount of aquatic breeding has increased, presenting a situation of loose supply, and price drops are inevitable.

Second, it is affected by the epidemic. Since June, more than a dozen provinces have reported outbreaks, and many gatherings and dinners have been cancelled. The catering industry has also been affected, resulting in a decline in the consumption of crabs, fish, bullfrogs, etc.

Third, the consumption capacity is weak. Affected by the overseas epidemic and the global economic downturn, it is difficult to find a job, and even some industries have seen salary cuts, resulting in a decrease in the income of some residents and a decline in consumption capacity.

Fourth, pork is too cheap. The latest factor is the return of pork prices this year, which have finally returned to more than 10 yuan per catty. In some counties and villages, the price of meat has even dropped to 8 or 9 yuan per catty, which has had a great impact on the consumption of fish and other aquatic products.

Dear friends, the price of swimming crabs has dropped significantly recently, grass carp, carp, and California bass have all dropped in price, and bullfrog has dropped to 3 or 4 yuan per catty. What do you think of the current market? Will the price rise in the second half of the year?

Due to the increase in breeding volume, the prices of these things were very high last year, leading many breeders to follow suit.

The reason for this is because of the epidemic and also because of the bumper harvest of seafood this year, so it is very normal for prices to drop. It is also because the consumption capacity this year is not very strong, because people’s income has decreased, and they want to save more money this year.

That's because of certain reasons that have caused the prices of many products in the seafood market to be very low, and have also caused great losses. Secondly, it is also related to the epidemic.

I just bought bullfrog in Nanjing for 12 yuan per pound

3. How many pounds of California Lu per pound of 30 heads are needed every day

About 9 pounds.

California bass, formerly known as largemouth bass, belongs to the order Perciformes, family Sunfish in taxonomy. It is native to the Mississippi River system in California, USA. It is a precious carnivorous fish with delicious meat, strong disease resistance, rapid growth, easy to catch, and a wide range of temperature adaptability. It was introduced to Taiwan Province of my country in the 1970s and has been bred for several generations. Shenzhen, Huiyang, Foshan and other places in Guangdong also introduced California bass fry in 1983 and successfully bred them artificially in 1985. The bred fry have been introduced to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Shandong and other places for breeding, and have achieved good economic benefits.

Feeding management of California bass:

1. Timed and fixed-point high-throw bait: California bass feed is usually fed at a fixed time and at a fixed point. Generally, it is fed twice a day, at 8-9 am and 5-6 pm, at a fixed point and quantity, at a relatively fixed feeding location. Before feeding, you can knock on the basin to make a sound. When the fish swim to the feeding location, throw the bait high to create a dynamic feeling when the bait falls into the pond, which lures them to grab food. The range of high-throw bait should be larger so that all fish can eat it, to ensure the uniform growth of the fish school, and the feeding time should be controlled within 30-60 minutes. The feed follows the rhythm of "slow-fast-slow" during the feeding process, and an oval fence of 7-10 square meters is set around the bait table to prevent feed waste, pollute water quality, and improve the feed coefficient.

2. Feeding to a full state: Since larger California bass have the right to feed first, smaller ones can only feed outside the feeding area or feed later, it is very easy to cause large individual differences, serious cannibalism, and reduced aquaculture production. Therefore, feeding to a full state is usually adopted. The amount of feed and the number of feedings are flexibly adjusted according to the main weather changes, water temperature and fish feeding conditions. Generally, feeding is stopped when the intensity of the fry competing for food decreases. California bass have a strong appetite. Generally, adult fish feed up to 20% of their total body weight, and juvenile fish feed up to 50%. During the peak period, their weight increases at a rate of 50% per month. Therefore, feeding requires small amounts and multiple times to ensure sufficient feed supply and ensure that smaller individuals can also eat their fill.

3. Feeding in high temperature season: During high temperature period, due to the high surface temperature of the aquaculture water and strong light, it is easy to cause California bass to eat less, eat slowly, fail to splash, and reduce the amount of feeding. The pond water temperature can be lowered by deepening the water level, changing the water, covering the feeding table with a shade net, and transplanting shade plants such as water hyacinth or water spinach. At the same time, you can turn on the aerator near the feeding table for 30-60 minutes before feeding, which can speed up the exchange of pond water, reduce the surface temperature of the water, increase the dissolved oxygen in the pond, and promote fish feeding.
