Hidden dangers in the lack of fish feed standard (12.11)

OA show ('918 '); Guangdong is a major province of ocean and fishery, but during the investigation of a fishery dispute, the reporter found by chance that the state and the local authorities had no regulations on the allowable amount and toxic amount of various harmful substances in fish feed Some experts believe that the lack of relevant standards is likely to lay many hidden dangers in the process of building a major province of ocean and fishery in our province Recently, a reporter received a complaint: three fishermen in Beijiao town of Shunde contracted nearly 39 hectares of fish ponds in Shenzhen From February to June this year, a large number of fish died in the ponds The fishermen suspect that there is a problem with the quality of a certain brand of feed they have been using for a long time After the feed was sent for inspection, it was found that the cadmium content was very high The fishermen reported this to the authorities On the other hand, in the further investigation of the reporter, it was learned that some other local fishermen had no problem using the same feed According to an expert who participated in the event, the reason for the dead fish is probably due to the technical factors of fishermen The accused feed companies said they had evidence to suspect that this was a scam set up by fishermen and feed dealers to evade triangular debts, and the test samples were only provided by fishermen unilaterally, and there was a loophole in the procedure Although there is a temporary lack of sufficient evidence on both sides of the dispute, there is no final result of the incident However, the issue of cadmium content standard of fish feed drinks involved in the dispute has aroused great interest of journalists According to the inspection results of Shenzhen Institute of measurement and quality inspection, the content of cadmium in the feed samples submitted by fishermen is 42 ppm However, according to the inspection report of Guangdong feed product quality supervision and inspection station, the cadmium content in the above samples is 22.9ppm According to agricultural experts, long-term inhalation of cadmium or ingestion of forage and drinking water polluted by cadmium will cause chronic cadmium poisoning, manifested as loss of appetite, malnutrition, emaciation, anemia, stunted development, etc But when the reporter searched in the vast data, he found that in the national standard catalog, although there was a column of fishery feed in the classification number, there was no specific content under it, but in the national feed health standard (gb13078-91), it was stipulated that the cadmium content in chicken and pig compound feed should not be more than 0.5ppm If it can be referred to, the above test results are 84 times and 45 times of the figure However, the technicians pointed out that due to the different properties of various heavy metals, the referentiality between them could not be determined temporarily The quality supervision department confirmed the reporter's findings According to a researcher from the Provincial Oceanic and fisheries administration, there was also a person in charge of relevant departments who came to ask the same question The answer here is: there is no corresponding standard for the state, local and industry Moreover, the reporter also found a case similar to this: in 1995, a fish farmer in Liaozhong County, Liaoning Province sued a feed factory in Shenyang, suspecting that there were dead fish caused by excessive toxic content in the feed, but at last, there was no final treatment result because there were no provisions on allowable amount of harmful substances and toxic amount in the feed in the feed health standard According to the relevant people in the legal circle, standards cannot be completely comprehensive However, the product quality law of China stipulates: "industrial products that may endanger human health, personal and property safety, They must meet the national and industrial standards for safeguarding human health, personal and property safety; if no national and industrial standards have been formulated, they must meet the requirements for safeguarding human health, personal and property safety " In their view, this has given a clear idea If it can be confirmed that the cadmium content of the brand feed is 22.9ppm or 42ppm, the problem may still be qualitative However, as one of the most clear mandatory basis, how to improve our relevant standards as soon as possible to be responsible for fishermen, feed companies and even the whole fishery has become an unavoidable problem Hf2 (author:)
