🌊🐟 Ningde's Fish Farms Leading the Way in Sustainability! 🐟🌊
China's coastal regions are blessed with the unique large yellow croaker, a prized commercial fish that thrives in Ningde, located in east China's Fujian Province. This area serves as a vital inner bay breeding ground for these magnificent fish.
Unfortunately, since the 1970s, the population of large yellow croakers has taken a hit due to overfishing. But fear not! 🤞 Over the past few decades, a dedicated team comprising government departments, research institutions, and local fishermen have joined forces to promote scientific cultivation and enhance the aquatic environment.
In July 2018, Ningde rolled out comprehensive seawater management and overhauled its fish breeding practices. By establishing clear seawater ownership rights and implementing a grid-based management plan, Ningde has set a new standard for marine farming. 🛠️🌱
But the momentum didn't stop there! That same year, Xiapu County launched an ambitious initiative to standardize and preserve mariculture. This included replacing traditional foam floaters with eco-friendly alternatives, ensuring that fish farming remains both productive and sustainable. 🌿✨
Thanks to these innovative efforts, Ningde is not only safeguarding the large yellow croaker population but also paving the way for a sustainable future in marine farming. 🚀🌏
