Comrade Li Xiaodong, chairman of the board, delivered a speech at the river crab appreciation and release ceremony

On May 14th, on the beautiful Shuangtaizi River, Panjin City held a grand launching ceremony of fishery (river crab) proliferation and release. Li Zhijun, deputy director-level inspector of the Department of Oceanography and Fisheries of Liaoning Province, Zhang Yaowu, former deputy mayor of Panjin Municipal Government and a city-level researcher, and Li Riyu, former executive deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress and chairman of the Ocean Research Association. Xu Jingfu, deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress, Ding Lixing, vice chairman of the CPPCC, Yang Jushan, deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, and other leaders and relevant departments of the city and county and related personnel participated in the event.

Panjin is located at the estuary of the two river basins of the Liaohe River. With abundant water resources and fertile water, it is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of river crabs. It has been famous for its abundance of river crabs since ancient times. Due to the influence of human production and living behavior, the biomass of wild crabs has decreased, and the natural fecundity of the species itself cannot meet the current fishing intensity and maintain ecological balance. Therefore, artificial measures are taken to increase the amount of crab seed resources. It has become an important means to restore biological resources, maintain biodiversity and ensure ecological balance. At the same time, the proliferation and release of river crabs will play a positive role in making full use of the natural water productivity of our city, increasing the output of high-quality wild river crabs, improving the quality of river crabs in our city, and increasing farmers' income.

The proliferation and release of river crabs is a public welfare social undertaking. This time, the release of river crabs was carried out by our Panjin Guanghe Aquatic Products Co., Ltd., with a total of 8 million animals released and a total investment of 1 million yuan. Realize the output value of 9 million yuan, and will produce greater economic and social benefits.
