Autumn taste Shanghai crab shipment begins September 21, Jiangsu Province, China 17:40
China's representative autumn taste, shipping of Shanghai crab, began on the 21st in Jiangsu Province, eastern China, which is the main production area.
Yangcheng Lake, located in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, is one of the leading producers of Shanghai crab in China. On the 21st, an event was held to announce the start of shipment of this year, and about 1,000 people including aquaculture companies gathered.
At the event, it was shown that the net containing the cultivated Chinese mitten crab was pulled up from the lake, and the Chinese mitten crab, which was born in the spring of this year and grew to a weight of about 200 grams, was landed one after another.
Regarding the Shanghai crab in Yangcheng Lake, which is known as a high-class food in China, the water quality of the lake deteriorated due to over-cultured about 10 years ago, and the local government tightened regulations and the area of the farm was significantly reduced. ..
However, as a result, the purification of water quality has improved and the crab growing environment has improved, and it is expected that about 100 tons more can be shipped than last year.
The landing of Shanghai crabs on Yangcheng Lake will continue until around December, and will be shipped to big cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, as well as exported to Japan.
A clerk at a store that sells Shanghai crabs in a market near the lake said, "This year's Shanghai crabs are of very good quality, but I'm worried that if the infection with the new coronavirus spreads, distribution will stop and crabs will not be able to be shipped. I'm doing it. "
