Zhanjiang builds smart ocean pasture

In order to protect the marine ecology, Zhanjiang has implemented a policy of reducing the number of fishing vessels without increasing them, and actively guided fishermen who have reduced their boats to switch to marine aquaculture. Fishermen who have switched to other industries are creating smart ocean ranches to provide the market with more high-quality seafood products.

Zhuang Wannian is a fisherman from Dongshan Street, Zhanjiang Economic Development Zone. His ancestors made a living by fishing. A few years ago, Zhuang Wannian started marine aquaculture with the support of the local agricultural department. He purchased gravity type net cages for deep sea aquaculture and chose to breed golden pomfret with a short growth cycle (only 6 months to market), good taste, and high price.
