“The cultivation of crabs in rice fields can increase income, and it can also achieve the effects of loose soil and pest control.” On May 2, a fisherman was happy to say that the crabs were distributed at the fishery station in Hengshan District. Originally, the Hengshan Aquatic Station distributed more than 30,000 kilograms of crab seedlings to 15 aquaculture ecological agriculture companies including Luhe, Baichuan, Runtian and Hongluo along the Wuding River.

It is understood that Hengshan District is rich in water resources. There are 115 large and small rivers in the region, and the aquaculture area has reached 21,000 mu. In recent years, under the correct guidance of the government, the majority of aquaculture professional households have taken advantage of the resource advantages to vigorously develop the aquaculture industry. In particular, the development of rice fields and crabs has gradually been recognized by local farmers and has become a beautiful business card for Hengshan Agriculture.

Baichuan Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd. began to develop rice paddy crabs in 2013. It can be regarded as the first “eat crab” enterprise in Hengshan. It has grown from the original 300-mu-converted field to the current 2,400-mu comprehensive rice field, which can achieve high quality. The rice is 1 million kilograms and the river crab is 12,500 kilograms. The total income of the two projects is more than 6 million yuan. According to Bai Yunlei, the person in charge of the company, “The growth activities of river crabs can play a role in weeding, pest control, loosening soil and fertilization in rice fields, while rice grows in a green, organic and pollution-free environment and can guarantee rice. Good quality and taste, this is the unique three-dimensional ecological chain planting mode of rice paddy crabs, and it is also a green, organic and pollution-free guarantee for Baichuan agricultural products."

On the same day, at the site of stocking crab seedlings, the staff of the aquatic product station carefully inspected the construction of the holding tanks of 15 aquaculture professional households such as Baichuan, Runtian and Hongluo, and repeatedly evaded escape and feeding to the farmers. Precautions such as disease prevention.

"This year, our aquatic product station once again put 30,000 kilograms of crab seedlings in the whole district. According to our existing breeding technology and management experience, it is conservatively estimated that by the end of autumn, the market will reach 80,000 kilograms of crabs, and the net income will be 4 million yuan. It is optimistic to say that the development and promotion of rice-raising crabs will become an important boost for local people to get rid of poverty and get rich." The person in charge of the Hengshan Aquatic Station was analyzed at the scene.
