Move over, traditional fish farms – Sandu'ao in Ningde, Fujian Province, is reeling in a blue revolution! 🎣 This eco-friendly aquaculture hub has become the go-to spot for farming large yellow croaker, a prized fish in Asian cuisine, while championing sustainability goals.
Since 2018, local authorities have upgraded facilities with solar-powered oxygenation systems and AI-driven water quality monitors, cutting pollution by 60% compared to old methods. 💡🌱 The secret sauce? Combining traditional know-how with tech like underwater drones that track fish health – think Pokémon GO, but for marine biologists!
'We’re proving you can protect oceans while feeding communities,' says Lin Wei, a third-generation fisher adopting the new methods. With over 120,000 tons of eco-friendly fish produced annually, Ningde’s model is making waves across the Chinese mainland’s $180B aquaculture industry.
