The price plummeted severely in the rain

On the afternoon of July 30, the reporter arrived in Longmengang Town.

On the wharf, trucks came to buy golden pomfret from Guangzhou and other places densely packed.

"Dead, the fish are dead.

The middle-aged woman's surname is Liang.

On July 29, the golden pomfret in Longmengang Town began to die, and Ms.
Liang's family was not spared.
Seeing that the dead fish phenomenon became more and more serious with the passage of time, Ms.
Liang's family stayed up all night and raced against time to grab the fish.

At 6 pm on July 30, the reporter followed Ms.
Liang and others on the grab-and-go ship.
After going out to sea, they found many golden pomfret corpses floating on the surface.
When I arrived at the cages, I saw that many of the fish in the cages had turned white belly.
The fishermen needed to screen and salvage some stinky golden pomfrets before drawing them into the cabin.
Every time a batch of fish is caught, some ice cubes must be sprinkled with the purpose of keeping the fish fresh.

Nevertheless, due to the more traditional methods of salvage, coupled with limited boats and manpower, Ms.
Liang's family has been fighting overnight for nearly 24 hours, but the fish caught are still very few and the price is not ideal.

The reporter learned that the price paid by the purchaser to the fishermen depends on the freshness of the golden pomfret.
Due to oversupply and other factors, the usual 24 yuan/kg golden pomfret can only be sold at 6 yuan/kg.

Decrease in seawater salinity caused more docks to be opened to help rescue

On the evening of July 30, the reporter arrived at the Longmen Port Town Government.
The staff on duty introduced that the local government department had reported the dead fish to the Qinzhou Port Management Committee.
The specific details will be released by the Management Committee.

That night, the reporter learned from a report provided by the Management Committee of Qinzhou Port District that as of 7 pm on July 30, 6,851 boxes of gold pomfret along the coast of the National Development Zone were affected by a total of 3425.
5 tons, and the direct economic loss was about 68.
5 million yuan.

Why did these golden pomfrets die together?

On the afternoon of July 31, the relevant person in charge of the Qinzhou Municipal Aquatic Products, Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau responded that the dead fish were caused by a drop in seawater salinity caused by a large amount of fresh water washed into the Qinzhou Bay due to heavy rains in consecutive days.

"Golden pomfret lives in waters with a salinity of less than 7 degrees, and it is generally difficult to survive.
" The person in charge said that the recent salinity of Qinzhou Bay has not only decreased, but also increased turbidity, which is not conducive to the survival of golden pomfret.

Tang Chaoping, Director of the Social Work Bureau of the Management Committee of Qinzhou Port District, introduced that after receiving the disaster report, the department immediately took measures to rescue the emergency, such as coordinating relevant terminal enterprises to increase free of charge and open the terminal for fishermen to operate and other convenient conditions, and guide the farmers to grab the golden pomfret in time.
The fish is sent to the market for sale to help farmers recover their losses.

Increased loss due to upstream brake release

Department's response is misunderstanding

In the process of rushing to harvest golden pomfret, some fishermen complained that the reason why the golden pomfret loss was so heavy was that the relevant authorities did not inform the fishermen in time before the upstream sluice gate was released.
This caused a large amount of flooding downstream and the fishermen did not do a good job.
Prevent work.

The reporter learned that Longmengang Town is located at the mouth of the two major rivers, Qinjiang River and Maoling River, and both large rivers are equipped with sluices.
Among them, Qinzhou Youth Sluice is installed on the Qinjiang River that crosses the urban area.
Recently, have the sluice gates been released? Have the fishermen been informed before the gates are released? Will the sluice flood release affect the golden pomfret downstream?

The person in charge of the Qinzhou City Flood Control Office stated that from 8 am on July 22 to 8 am on the 31st, the rainfall in Qinzhou was heavy.
There were 11 reservoirs in the city, including the Yangtze River and Jingtang, which exceeded the flood limit.
8 A reservoir drained the flood, and the Qinjiang Qinzhou Station had a peak water level of 5.
53 meters at 8 pm on July 28, which was 0.
93 meters above the warning line.

Considering that heavy rains may cause large floods in the Qinjiang River, in order to ensure the safety of the Qingnian Sluice and the safety of flood control in Qinzhou City and the safety of urban residents’ living and production water, the Municipal Youth Sluice Management Office opened the gate for flood discharge on July 23 and passed the TV station before the gate was opened.
And other platforms release information notices, and flood prevention information is also sent to local governments.

"It is not the opening of the Qinzhou Youth Sluice to release floods, which aggravated the damage to the fishermen.
" The person in charge of the Qinzhou Youth Sluice stated that the Qingzhou Youth Sluice was built in 1958 and has a height of only 8.
09 meters, which is a sluice.
Normally, the sluice does not only store water but does not drain water like a reservoir, but incorporates the water storage and drainage function, so after the sluice is opened, it will not cause a long-term and large-scale sudden increase in downstream.
If the sluice is not opened this time, the flood will also flow downstream from the top of the dam, and it will also endanger the dam itself.
Therefore, opening floodgates is a normal work behavior.
In order to avoid misunderstandings, both the Youth Sluice and the Flood Control Office stated that they will expand channels to release flood release information.

Promote deep-water cage culture

Golden Pomfret is expected to be insured

How to prevent the golden pomfret from being affected by the weather and other factors?

"From a theoretical and practical point of view, the promotion of deep-water cage fish culture technology is more conducive to avoiding the risk of disaster.
" The person in charge of the Qinzhou Municipal Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau said that since last year, more than 80 households in Qinzhou began to conduct deep-water cage aquaculture pilot projects.
From the disaster situation, the damage to these farmers is very low.
The depth of deepwater cages is about 10 meters.
Although the cost is relatively high, the ability to resist risks is relatively strong.
It is a new technology in recent years.
In the future, the department will continue to intensify its efforts to guide and train fishermen, and at the same time, encourage fishermen to stagger the rainy season such as July to grab the harvest.

The person in charge said that Qinzhou has now cooperated with an insurance company to provide insurance services to oyster farmers.
If the effect is obvious, golden pomfret farmers are also expected to be covered by the insurance.
