1. Market Prospects of Eel Breeding
Eel is a delicacy and nutritious health food loved by consumers at home and abroad. It is marketed at home and abroad. Very popular on the market. According to surveys, the current annual demand in the domestic market is nearly 3 million tons, and Japan and South Korea need to import 200,000 tons every year. The demand in Hong Kong and Macao is also growing. At the same time, because eel is rich in dha, epa and other medicinal ingredients, it has great development potential in deep processing and development of health care products. Currently, the main sources of supply to the eel market come from wild fishing and a certain number of wild eels stocked off-season.
Except for Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei, wild eel resources are still distributed in certain numbers in China. Other areas have been heavily damaged and are expected to gradually disappear in 4-5 years. The increase in demand and the decrease in resources have made the market supply of eel increasingly tight, and the price has steadily increased. Currently, the price of eel in the Japanese market is higher than that of eel. In winter, the daily supply and demand gap in Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou reaches more than 100 tons. The wholesale price of eel over 100 grams is 60-70 yuan per kilogram, 40-50 yuan per kilogram for over 50 grams, and 20-50 yuan per kilogram for under 50 grams. 30 yuan. Many factors indicate that artificial breeding of eels has broad profit margins.
2. The development trend of eel breeding
1. The production of seedlings has been realized in batches. Although the current production of rice eel seedlings is unsatisfactory, it has attracted great attention from relevant leading departments and scientific research units. According to the latest information, many provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have listed the production of rice eel seedlings as key tasks and directions, such as Hubei. In the autumn of 2000, the Provincial Department of Science and Technology launched a province-wide project bidding on eel seedlings and feed. Experts predict that the problem of mass production of eel seedlings will be solved to at least a certain extent in the near future.
Analysis of the Prospects of the Eel Breeding Market
2. The entities investing in eel management are diversified. Modern large-scale production cannot be separated from the support of large and medium-sized enterprises and consortiums, and the same is true for eel production. The good benefits of eel farming have begun to attract the attention of businesses, and some businesses have begun to invest in this industry. I believe that in recent years, better companies, consortiums, and merchants will get involved in the eel industry, which will eventually solve the current lack of investment and achieve investment diversification.
3. The production form achieves scale intensification. At present, factory-based intensive eel farming has taken shape. With the participation of social investment forces and the realization of investment diversification, sporadic small-scale production will be replaced by factory-based and intensive production of batch and large-scale production. . At present, some of the work of Dazhong Breeding Company specializing in the eel industry in Jianyang City, Sichuan and Wanlong Eel Industry Co., Ltd. in Huainan, Anhui Province is quite effective.
4. Integration of scientific research, production and processing. The integration of scientific research, production, and processing is an inevitable trend in modern commodity production. It is an inevitable requirement for development to directly integrate scientific and technological achievements and technical patents with production and processing, and directly transform them into productivity. At present, work in this area has just begun. In the near future, Can present a situation of vigorous development.
5. Circulation and marketing realize international trade. With the acceleration of my country's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), eels are objectively required to participate in international trade operations. In fact, from the 1970s to the early 1980s, my country's eel export trade was organized and managed by the national foreign trade department. In the 1980s, Since the end of the 1990s, the foreign trade department has liberalized the unified export management rights of pearls, eels and other species. Currently, exports are carried out individually and piecemeal. With the participation of merchants and consortiums in the eel industry, the realization of international trade in circulation and marketing is just around the corner. This will also promote my country's eel breeding industry to enter a new stage of development.
Prospects of the eel breeding market
3. Development paths of eel breeding
1. Increase investment in eel scientific research and strive to Increase technological reserves. Investment in scientific research includes investment in scientific research funds and scientific research strength. The main contents of the research should include research on the physiological and ecological characteristics of eel, research on the optimal environment for eel production, as well as research on seedling breeding and mass production.
2. Advocate healthy breeding and ecological breeding. As mentioned earlier, with the development of production, eel diseases have become diversified and complicated.
Simply relying on pesticides to prevent and control this problem is not the best way. Breeding methods such as healthy eel farming and ecological eel farming should be promoted to minimize the degree of drug residues in eel bodies. This is beneficial to people's health, and more importantly, it is beneficial to export exchanges. exchange.
3. Use laws and regulations to protect natural eel resources. First, we must strictly control the catch volume and listing specifications. The second is to determine the breeding protection period and prohibit the fishing of eels during the eel breeding period. At the beginning of the new century, the state made appropriate changes to the Fisheries Law to protect eel resources in accordance with the law. Of course, an important aspect of protecting natural eel resources is to accelerate the research progress of artificial eel seedlings. Only when artificial seedlings are supplied in batches can we better reduce the indiscriminate harvesting of natural eel seedlings.
4. Carry out factory farming and increase the degree of intensification. Learning from foreign advanced eel farming experiences and vigorously carrying out factory farming is one of the directions for eel farming in the future. The special habits of eel, especially the habit of adapting to shallow water life, are more suitable for factory-based three-dimensional farming, and more suitable for intensive farming under artificial temperature adjustment and temperature control conditions. There are many things that need to be solved in this area, such as water quality, water temperature, dissolved oxygen in the environment, etc., as well as the development of full-price artificial compound feed.
5. Strengthen research on deeply processed products and increase export exchange capabilities. As my country's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) accelerates, it is very important to expand the sales volume of eel products in the international market. At present, my country's export products are still mainly live eels. In the future, we will study eel health food, fast food and other aspects. In addition, it is urgent to strengthen product trademark registration.
In short, the development of my country's eel industry requires the support of social forces and the redoubled efforts of scientific researchers to improve the scientific and technological content of the industry. It must also follow the path of intensification, commercialization, and internationalization. Only in this way can my country's eel industry enter an era of rapid, sustained, stable and healthy development and inject new vitality into my country's aquatic industry.
