Liangjiang, Fujian: Spring Festival is approaching, fishermen are busy fishing at sea

The Spring Festival is approaching, and Lianjiang County, Fujian Province is in full swing. Fishermen are busy fishing all kinds of seafood, some are preparing for a bumper harvest next year, and some are shipped directly to the market for sale.

In the past two days, in the waters near Muyu Island, Xiaoao Town, Lianjiang, Fujian, fishermen are busy picking up the oysters under the float balls on the sea, placing them on fishing boats, and then transporting them to the sea sorting point to remove the attachments on the oyster shells, weigh them and put them into cages, and prepare to transport them to the deep sea for cages and hang them.

It is understood that the oysters in the cage were planted near New Year's Day last year and have been cultivated for a year. During this period, these oysters have not put any bait in them, and they absorb algae and other nutrients in the sea water by themselves. They have grown to about 100 grams. If the oysters continue to be cultivated in the offshore, it is difficult to fatten. For this reason, fishermen take advantage of the appropriate sea temperature to divide the oysters and move them to the outer sea where the wind and waves are stronger for hanging and raising. In about 5 months, the specifications will be reached.

In the octopus breeding area of ​​Shaao Bay, fishing boats of all sizes shuttled back and forth at sea. As the fishing nets tightened, groups of octopus surfaced, and fishermen poured them into live water boats and transported them to dock markets in various places.

The villagers told reporters that the batch of octopus caught now ranges from two and a half kilograms to 15 kilograms, and are very popular among consumers in Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places.

It is understood that the octopus here mainly relies on artificial sea fishing. Unlike artificial sea fishing, the number of sea fishing seedlings is limited, and the market orders are currently in short supply. According to statistics from the local Marine and Fisheries Bureau, before the Spring Festival, Lianjiang County is expected to have a total of nearly 1.5 million kilograms of octopus on the market.
