In Xilaiqiao Town, Yangzhong City, Jiangsu Province, the traditional fish farming industry is quietly undergoing changes. In the past, local farmers relied on traditional experience to explore and move forward on the breeding road; Nowadays, thanks to the deep participation of digital and other technological forces, the digital breeze is blowing through this water area, bringing intelligent transformation to the local aquaculture industry.
Recently, I saw countless fish jumping in the water and competing to eat in the Jinshuiwan Farm in Xilaiqiao Town, Yangzhong, Jiangsu. The key to all of this is that the fishing ground seeks technological empowerment and innovative breeding techniques.
In Xilaiqiao Town, the "second-generation fishermen" are not only the inheritors of traditional fishing, but also the leaders of the times' changes. They actively introduce modern technology to assist the freshwater fish farming industry in the Yangtze River; At the same time, they bravely entered the e-commerce field, seeking innovation and change, and wrote a new chapter in the local aquaculture industry.
When the weather temperature approaches 37 ℃. Will fish ponds lack oxygen due to high temperatures in summer? "In response to the high temperatures, the author turned the question to Sun Jian, the person in charge of the farm. There is basically no impact. Our dissolved oxygen meter monitors the oxygen content in the fish pond in real time. As soon as we hear the alarm sound, the staff will immediately adjust the parameters of the oxygenation equipment to increase the oxygen content in the fish pond water. "Sun Jian told reporters that the fish pond is equipped with two dissolved oxygen meters, which can reduce various breeding risks, provide data guidance for the production process, and take more timely care of the fish.
Digitization empowers the development of fisheries, and the freshwater fish farming industry has both "intelligence" and "quality". Don't be fooled by the unremarkable fish pond, Sun Jian said that there is a vast world inside, and many modern breeding equipment are used in the pond. For example, for oxygen pumps, old-fashioned oxygen pumps have a power of 3000 watts, and variable frequency oxygen pumps have a power of 1500 watts to 2000 watts. With low power consumption and a large number of oxygen pumps in fish ponds, electricity bills can be saved significantly over the course of a year
Sun Jian has been engaged in aquaculture for many years, mainly cultivating flat fish in river water, and releasing nearly 10000 fish fry of various species such as green carp, grass carp, crucian carp, silver carp, black carp, salmon, etc. After fishing at the end of each year, they are exported to Northeast China and other places. Adhering to the goal of achieving high-quality fisheries, he visited the aquatic market and found that the technology equipment of variable frequency aerator pump is suitable for reducing costs and increasing production in fish ponds. Therefore, Sun Jian tried to gradually replace nearly 60 old-fashioned aerator pumps distributed in fish ponds. Currently, 13 variable frequency aerator pumps have been put into use.
Where is the technological content of 'smart aquaculture' still? The author noticed that the pipeline feeding machines on the water surface of the fish pond, which are connected by long pipes to various parts of the pond, are particularly prominent. Compared to box type feeders, pipeline feeders are another magic weapon for Sun Jian to increase fish production: fast feeding speed, wide throwing area, and high feed utilization efficiency. Sun Jian introduced that due to the high density of fish farming, the yield per mu can reach 5000 pounds. When feeding at designated locations every day, it is combined with water trucks and oxygen pumps to feed together. It is expected that the total fish production in aquaculture this year will increase from 600000 pounds to 700000 pounds, with sales exceeding 4 million yuan.
How to make aquaculture more 'smart'? Sun Jian is using his own farming practice to provide answers. The smart fish farming facility I use has low cost, simple operation, and low risk, but high economic benefits. Now, Sun Jian is gradually realizing his dream of using technology to help aquaculture achieve easy and high yields.
Focusing on transforming agricultural production methods, promoting agricultural transformation and upgrading, and increasing farmers' income, Xilaiqiao Town in Yangzhong City continuously improves the level of intelligent agriculture development. In response to the cluster development of the aquaculture industry, it explores the common technical needs of the aquaculture industry, seeks revolutionary technological breakthroughs in the industry, adheres to the concept of "digital empowerment and technology driven agriculture", and transforms "smart farming" into "intelligent farming", empowering agricultural modernization through digital transformation of the agricultural industry.
By utilizing advanced technological means, smart aquaculture can not only improve breeding efficiency and reduce costs, but also achieve sustainable utilization of fishery resources, injecting new vitality into the development of the fishery industry.
In the future, Yangzhong Xilaiqiao Town will continue to promote the empowerment of digital technology in fishery aquaculture, explore broader development space for smart fisheries, build a digital bridge for future development for farmers, help further develop the freshwater fish industry, and jointly draw a beautiful new blueprint for local rural revitalization.
