CCTV News: Comprehensive revitalization of rural areas and industrial integration are an important breakthrough. Qianjiang crayfish is an advantageous industry in Qianjiang and even Hubei. The local area is dominated by the shrimp and rice industry chain, promoting the deep integration of the tertiary industry and driving farmers' employment and income growth. On January 25, "The New World of Rural Revitalization Road" will enter the Qianjiang crayfish winter fishing site to explore the industrial code behind rural revitalization.

This winter, Qianjiang City has achieved crayfish winter fishing for the first time. Shrimp Nong Luojiden was the first to try it out, and his shrimp pond covers an area of ​​170 acres. The crayfish farmed in winter is not large in yield, but it is generally larger than that in summer.

Qianjiang crayfish has gone from "red in one season" to "fresh in four seasons", thanks to the cooperation between local and scientific research departments, it has innovated characteristic breeding models such as pond intensive care, greenhouse soil ponds and factory farming, and has also formulated technical standards for winter shrimp farming.

A pound of winter shrimp can be sold for more than 50 yuan, which is about twice the price of crayfish produced in summer. Rogiten was very satisfied with this profit. Raising shrimp all year round means making money in all seasons.

Like Rogiceng, in order to accompany his family, there are many people returning from big cities to raise shrimp. In Qianjiang City, the crayfish farming area is nearly 1 million mu. Now, through the "shrimps in all seasons" pond fostering model, a new layout of crayfish breeding has been formed. As the first place to cultivate shrimp and rice, shrimp farming in winter is also expected to be promoted.

Li Mingbo, deputy director of Hubei Crayfish Industry Technology Research Institute, said: "In 2024, we have conducted experiments and have achieved some success. It is mainly the treatment of straw, which can turn straw into feed for winter crayfish, and use biotechnology to solve these problems."

How to solve the sales of shrimps in all seasons? In Qianjiang City, there are 48 crayfish processing enterprises above the standard. Entering the largest processing enterprise in Qianjiang City, the dazzling array of deep-processed crayfish products are dazzling. Here, even the "wet garbage" lobster shells have a place to use.

Liu Shixuan, director of the office of Huashan Technology Co., Ltd., Qianjiang City, Hubei Province, said: "The meat of crayfish only accounts for 20%, and 80% is a shell. We will make this shell into chitin to increase its added value, which is equivalent to a process of turning waste into treasure. Chitin can be used in a wide range of fields, including medicine, and some industries in beauty and medical beauty. Its shell can also be used in agriculture, environmental protection, and various fields."

The production of winter crayfish is not large and the price is high. Stewed and steamed in oil are the destination of winter shrimp. In the past, crayfish consumption was taken over by hairy crabs before October, and now crayfish restaurants also have business to do in winter.

How many possibilities can a crayfish be? In Qianjiang, the annual processing capacity of crayfish is 500,000 tons, the annual processing capacity of shrimp and rice is 1 million tons, and more than 60 series of products are developed, with an overall industrial output value exceeding 75 billion yuan. The crayfish industry is booming, and shrimp farmers' lives are becoming more and more prosperous.
