What is the "menacing"?

The reporter interviewed relevant experts and said that the current increase in fish prices is mainly due to the following reasons:

——The reduction in the aquaculture area and the prohibition on catching and restocking continue to affect the production of freshwater fish
.

In recent years, for environmental protection purposes, various places have continuously expanded the scope of prohibited and restricted breeding areas, and large areas of large-scale freshwater fish breeding facilities such as fences and cages have been demolished
.
According to statistics, by the end of 2020, the national aquaculture area has fallen by 5.

——The rising cost of breeding pushes up the price of aquatic products

It is understood that the prices of corn and soybean meal as feed materials for fishery have generally remained high since January

Monitoring data from the National Animal Husbandry Station showed that the national average corn price was 2.

According to the national technology system for the bulk freshwater fish industry, in mid-May, the price of adult fish feed rose by about 500 yuan per ton year-on-year, and the price of fry and high-end feed rose by about 1,000 yuan per ton year-on-year
.

——Insufficient input of resources in the early stage has led to short-term supply of aquatic products
.

Industry experts said that in recent years, the prices of aquaculture products such as bulk freshwater fish have continued to be sluggish, and the attractiveness of the industry has declined
.
Especially in 2020, a large area of ​​pressured ponds will appear at the beginning of the year.

What is the future price trend?

As the fishing moratorium approaches and the supply of marine fish decreases, will the price of aquatic products, especially freshwater fish, increase further?

Relevant industry insiders told reporters that, on the whole, it is expected that the price of aquatic products will remain high in the short term, and the new fish is expected to fall after the summer and autumn are listed
.
According to reports, in the short term, the supply of freshwater fish is still tight

However, with the increase in freshwater fish seedlings and the restoration of imports, the tight supply of freshwater fish is expected to be eased, thus prompting prices to fall
.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, with the increase in the price of aquatic products, the investment in fixed assets in the fishery industry increased by 11.
