What Are the Prospects for Sturgeon Farming? Market and Profit Analysis

Because there are so many kinds of fish, many fish are easily replaced. The two typhoons that came one after another some time ago had a big impact on fish farming. According to relevant reports, a farm owner in the Guangzhou area suffered heavy losses, so fish market prices kept rising. Sturgeon annual output was already low to begin with, yet demand has continued to increase, mainly because sturgeon meat is tender and has few bones, making it very popular. So what are the prospects for sturgeon farming now? Let's see how Qinnong Network analyzes it.

Farming Prospect Analysis

The prospects for sturgeon farming are fairly good. After all, whether in China or abroad, sturgeon annual output is not high and is far from meeting market demand. Moreover, wild sturgeon is a nationally protected species and may not be caught or killed. Artificial sturgeon farming requires national approval documents before it can be carried out; otherwise it is illegal farming and entails legal liability. In addition, artificial sturgeon farming is a farming project strongly supported by the state. This can not only meet domestic demand but also enter the international market, so the farming prospects are very broad.

Market Prospect Analysis

Market prospects are mainly analyzed from the current market so as to infer the sturgeon market situation for a period afterward. At present, the market price of sturgeon is generally 17 or 18 yuan per jin, and recently, affected by weather, the price has risen somewhat. In the Guangzhou area, the price of sturgeon is now 20 to 25 yuan per jin, while in Beijing it is around 20 yuan per jin. Overall, it has risen by about 2 to 3 yuan per jin. Second, current market demand for sturgeon has not decreased due to weather. On the contrary, this period is the most suitable time to eat fish, so demand has clearly increased. The amount of sturgeon purchased by some hotels is at least twice the amount of other fish species, which means the farming area still needs to be increased. At least for some time in the future, the sturgeon market prospects remain very bright.

Farming Profit Analysis

The economic benefits of sturgeon farming are relatively stable. The economic benefits of sturgeon are mainly related to farming costs, sturgeon output and the sturgeon market price. Sturgeon farming costs mainly include the cost of purchasing fry, feed costs, labor costs and feeding equipment costs. Taking the cost and profit of one sturgeon as an example, the cost of farming one sturgeon is about 50 yuan, and after one year it can be sold for at least about 100 yuan. So after deducting costs, each fish can earn about 50 yuan. If 2,000 are farmed, about 10,000 yuan can be earned. The profit margin is quite good. At least at present, sturgeon farming is a good choice.

Farming Advantage Analysis

The sturgeon has a relatively attractive appearance, so it can be used not only for meat but also as an ornamental fish. After all, the tourism industry is developing quickly now, and everyone is enthusiastic about sightseeing, so it is also possible to cooperate with the tourism industry, or even start an agritainment business by raising sturgeon yourself, which also brings very good profits. High survival rate, fast growth speed

The survival rate of sturgeon is relatively high. As long as they are raised properly, the survival rate is basically stable at above 95 percent, and the growth cycle is shorter than that of salmon, with a relatively fast growth speed, so this is also an advantage of sturgeon farming.
