How much is mandarin fish per jin
The price of mandarin fish is generally around 40 yuan to 60 yuan per jin. Due to different regions and constantly changing production volumes, the price of mandarin fish also changes accordingly.
The mandarin fish is renowned at home and abroad for its tender flesh and delicious taste, and is a long-celebrated freshwater fish delicacy that sells widely both domestically and internationally. As natural resources have gradually declined, caught mandarin fish can no longer meet market demand, and artificial farming of mandarin fish has developed rapidly. In particular, the success and promotion of domestication and diet-conversion techniques (from feeding on live bait fish to feeding on chilled fish and then to feeding entirely on artificial compound feed) have further driven the large-scale artificial farming of mandarin fish. In northern regions, the seedlings for farming mandarin fish are mainly natural seedlings caught from reservoirs and artificially bred seedlings purchased from the south. Because the number of natural seedlings is far from sufficient to meet production needs, in recent years the mandarin fish seedlings used in actual production are mainly artificially bred seedlings purchased and transported from the south. However, purchasing and transporting bred seedlings from the south also brings problems such as low survival rates during transport and rearing, easy introduction of exogenous diseases and pests, and high production costs.
Therefore, the price of mandarin fish in the south is mostly cheaper than in the north.
