Recommended Aquaculture Projects for 2020: Four Profitable Choices

Many people are engaged in aquaculture, but not everyone profits. If you want to make progress, you certainly have to put in cost and labor, so which aquaculture projects are worth developing in 2020?

Recommended Aquaculture Projects for 2020

1. Pangasius catfish

Various dishes made from this fish are extremely popular in our country, such as suancai fish and grilled fish. Moreover, since 2017 in our country, the raw material price of pangasius catfish has only risen, never fallen, which also started large-scale farming. In 2019, our country's pangasius catfish fry volume reached nearly 60 million, output approached 30,000 tons, and processed products also reached 18,000 tons, along with a huge number of orders. The farming enthusiasm for pangasius catfish will only grow this year.

2. Crayfish

Last year's World Cup saw crayfish even reach Russia, becoming an essential dish for many foreign football fans watching the games. This raised the profile of our country's crayfish, and every year our country's crayfish still sometimes cannot meet market demand. The market price of crayfish fluctuates greatly, so the farming prospects for crayfish in 2020 are also very promising.

3. Bullfrog

Bullfrogs, like crayfish, were originally an invasive alien animal, and in our country they have been eaten to the point of needing to be farmed. It is also a farming project driven by our country's restaurant industry. Bullfrog meat is tender and delicious, and farming it is relatively simple, with a high survival rate, large weight, and a short farming cycle. The farming prospects in our country are quite good, but due to relatively serious pollution, farming has already been banned in many places in our country. This caused the unit price to once reach around 20 yuan/jin.

4. California perch

California perch is what we call sea bass in daily life, and as just mentioned, fish dishes are very popular in our country. California perch has tender and smooth meat, few bones, strong growth ability, and is easy to catch. It is also a hot farming project in our country, and California perch has consistently had high market demand in our country over the years. Its farming value is very high; the 2019 farming volume was close to 500,000 tons, and according to trends it will rise further. Therefore its farming prospects cannot be ignored.

If you want to engage in aquaculture, you must gain an in-depth understanding of the overall environment and the local price market, and never follow the crowd blindly.
