In recent years, the Tianjin Agriculture and Rural Affairs Commission has seized the opportunity of industrial revitalization and vigorously supported the development of ornamental fish industry in agricultural areas, achieving significant results. As of now, the aquaculture area of ornamental fish in the city has reached 6000 acres, with more than 50 species and an annual output value exceeding 2 billion yuan.
We have been committed to the breeding of domestic ornamental fish varieties, "said Jiang Jufeng, the head of the Promotion Department of the Fisheries Research Institute in the city." By adopting advanced technology, we have successfully bred high-quality varieties such as Yuanbao level blood parrots, Caishen level blood parrots, transparent scale grass goldfish, and high-quality small ugly fish. "In a large ornamental fish breeding base in Lintingkou, Baodi District, nearly 200 acres of outdoor aquaculture ponds, various ornamental fish are swimming happily. The person in charge of the base, Ma Yonghong, excitedly said, "The transparent scale grass goldfish that Professor Jiang guided us to breed is deeply loved by consumers due to its unique appearance and good market adaptability, and it is relatively easy to raise
However, good varieties are only half the battle, and the key is to do a good job in mass breeding production. Jiang Jufeng is well aware of this, and he leads technicians to go deep into the breeding base to provide careful guidance for every aspect of the breeding process. He gave an example: "After hatching, the small fish fry are fed with fresh rotifers. However, rotifers caught in rivers often carry bacteria, and if not disinfected in a timely manner, it can endanger the survival of the fish fry. Therefore, we guide companies to disinfect rotifers to ensure that the fish fry are safe to eat
In terms of export earnings, Tianjin's ornamental fish industry has also demonstrated strong strength. Tianjin Jintai Aquaculture Co., Ltd., located in Binhai New Area, successfully applied for the export qualification of ornamental fish in 2022. But in the breeding and other aspects, the enterprise still faces many technical difficulties. With strong support from the Tianjin Agriculture and Rural Affairs Commission, the Tianjin Fisheries Research Institute has undertaken the first batch of local agricultural industry university research application "unveiling and leading" projects - large-scale breeding and quality control technology for export grade ornamental fish. After technological breakthroughs, the project has achieved complete success. Jiang Jufeng proudly said, "We have innovated and broken through the large-scale breeding technology of the Five Colored Angel Fish and the Black Tailed Hook Fish. The total annual production of the Five Colored Angel Fish has reached 9 million, and the total annual production of the Black Tailed Hook Fish is as high as 18 million, with a total output value of over 12 million yuan. In addition, we have also established targeted cultivation technology for ornamental fish such as the Transparent Scale Grass Goldfish, Ali, and Ink Butterfly, and targeted cultivation of 500000 export grade commercial fish, with an annual total output value of 10 million yuan
In order to bring Tianjin's ornamental fish to millions of households, the Tianjin Fisheries Research Institute actively guides farmers to carry out online sales. They use various social media platforms for live streaming, delivering ornamental fish directly to consumers. This measure not only expands sales channels, but also enhances the visibility and reputation of ornamental fish in Tianjin.
The rapid development of the ornamental fish industry in Tianjin has also driven the formation of a chain of ornamental fish industries such as feed, aquatic products, and aquatic plants. The formation of this industrial chain not only provides more channels for local farmers to become prosperous and increase income, but also becomes one of the leading industries for rural revitalization in the area. Nowadays, the ornamental fish industry in Tianjin is becoming a new highlight of modern urban agriculture with its unique charm and unlimited potential.
