Longmenfan in Hengfeng, Jiangxi, Actively Develops Specialty Aquaculture

    Since the beginning of this year, farmers in Qianjia Village, Longmenfan Township, Hengfeng County, with the guidance and support of the township and village authorities, have actively developed specialty aquaculture, and many large-scale, high-level farming households have emerged. Qianjia Village in Hengfeng County has become a well-known aquaculture village far and wide. Backed by Fangyuan Reservoir, which has a storage capacity of several hundred thousand cubic meters, Qianjia Village has numerous ditches and channels and excellent water quality. With the traditional grain industry yielding poor returns, many farmers have set their sights on specialty aquaculture. At present, specialty aquaculture in Qianjia Village has reached a certain scale, with more than 10 farming households and more than 200 mu of aquaculture water surface. The species include yellow swamp eel, yellow catfish, crayfish, Pengze fish and others, and the output value this year is expected to exceed 2 million yuan.
