Due to overfishing by fishermen over many years and increasingly serious pollution of river waters and various other reasons, domestic shad resources have declined sharply. At present, shad is rarely seen in aquatic product markets and hotels and restaurants, and in addition, this fish has delicate habits and presents certain difficulties in breeding technology, so our province has not yet officially carried out artificial breeding.

In order to raise the grade of freshwater fisheries, promote the optimization and upgrading of variety structure, and improve economic benefits, Hangzhou Xiaoshan Hairun Aquaculture Co., Ltd. introduced 3,000 American shad fry with a size of 1.5-2.0 cm from the United States in late July 2003. Based on the living habits of the American shad, the company's technical personnel experimented while exploring, and after more than half a year of careful feeding and overwintering management, the average size has now reached 25 cm, with the largest size having reached more than 30 cm and a body weight of 50-60 grams per fish.
