Yingshan, Sichuan: Fish Leaping, People Enjoying, Industry Prosperous, Suishan Land Fishing Songs Loud and Loud

Throughout the years, there have been no major rivers in Yingshan County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, and the natural water conditions are not advantageous. However, the county has taken the initiative to make up for its development shortcomings, based on the existing water system in the county, adhering to the concept of group development, technological leadership, and ecological environmental protection construction. It actively explores and optimizes the layout of the fishery industry, consolidates the foundation of aquatic development, creates regional aquatic characteristic benchmarks, and stimulates industrial value-added momentum. It has successfully created a modern fishery development path that integrates circular comprehensive planting and breeding, ecological health breeding, and smart fisheries, making fishing songs resound throughout the land of Suishan.

Strengthening facility construction and polishing the signboard of provincial-level modern agricultural park for rice and fishery

On April 11th, the author walked into the core breeding area of the Daoyu Modern Agricultural Park located in Qingshui Township, Yingshan County. At the Jiuhao Aquaculture Family Farm in Yingshan County, they saw large and small fish ponds connected together, with rippling blue waves. On both sides of the fish pond embankment, some are covered with a layer of black geomembrane, while others are covered with a layer of cement blanket. Some embankments have also undergone concrete hardening treatment.

For a long time, wave erosion and fish foraging have caused soil erosion in the dam body. We first compact the dam with soil, and then apply film covering, carpet laying or hardening treatment to make the dam body more solid and durable, ensuring the safety of aquaculture, "said Liu Wenping, the head of the Jiuhao Aquaculture Family Farm in Yingshan County.

According to Liu Wenping, many years ago, he invested 5 million yuan to establish the Jiuhao Aquaculture Family Farm in Yingshan County, which transferred more than 10 fish ponds of various sizes, covering an area of over 200 acres, and upgraded and renovated the fish ponds.

Looking back on the arduous entrepreneurial journey, Liu Wenping admitted that in the early days, the facilities and equipment were outdated, and the breeding technology was immature, leading to many detours. After years of experience accumulation and continuous exploration, the family farm has now increased its breeding area by more than 380 mu. On the basis of the the four famous domestic fishes, new high-quality varieties such as perch and yellow catfish have been added to the breeding category. The annual output has increased from about 250 tons in the past to more than 800 tons, and the economic benefits have significantly improved.

In recent years, under the guidance of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Yingshan County, we have participated in modern breeding technology training and learned many practical methods to reduce costs and increase efficiency, resulting in more obvious breeding effects. Liu Wenping said that in the past, all fish fry had to be purchased from other places, and production costs were high. Through systematic learning, he successfully mastered the hatching technology of fish fry, and the farm achieved a one-stop production of self breeding and self cultivation, greatly reducing production costs and increasing development confidence.

The development and growth of Jiuhao Aquaculture Family Farm in Yingshan County is a vivid reflection of the improvement of quality and efficiency of aquatic enterprises in the county. Enterprises in the park are deeply engaged in the field of fisheries and developing independently, while county-level agricultural departments provide full support and precise empowerment to promote the continuous upgrading of county-level fisheries infrastructure. According to the relevant person in charge of the County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, in recent years, Yingshan has repeatedly invested funds to expand roads, reinforce fish pond dams, and build multiple irrigation stations in the park, effectively paving the way for enterprise development and clearing obstacles.

Recently, we have completed the high-quality renovation of a 120 acre parent pond for the red carp, and simultaneously built a 120 acre seedling cultivation pond, an indoor intensive seedling cultivation pond of 700 square meters, and a temporary isolation and quarantine pond of 150 square meters. The person in charge stated that the improvement of various infrastructure has provided a solid guarantee for the sustainable and healthy development of the fishing industry, and aquaculture enterprises in the county have sprung up like mushrooms and gradually developed and grown stronger.

On the smart fishery track, Yingshan accelerated the promotion of "Internet plus+digital fishery" and promoted the deep integration of new technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence with aquaculture. At present, a smart fishing platform has been built, equipped with security, water quality monitoring, quality and safety traceability equipment, and integrated control of intelligent feeding, oxygenation, sewage discharge, detection, fishing and other aspects throughout the breeding process; At the same time, a modern factory seedling workshop of over 3000 square meters has been built, significantly improving the spawning rate, hatching rate, and survival rate of fish fry, ensuring the quality, safety, and reliability of fish from the source.

As the only provincial-level three-star rice fishing modern agricultural park in Nanchong City, Yingshan relies on the Qianli Canal to vigorously develop the aquatic industry in 8 towns along the line, including Qingshui Township, Huilong Town, and Dongsheng Town. At present, more than 5000 acres of circular comprehensive breeding, ecological health breeding, and smart fishery bases have been built; The annual output of aquatic products in the park reaches over 9000 tons, with an output value of 180 million yuan. It has cultivated 9 brands of pollution-free aquatic products, 5 brands of organic aquatic products, and 3 public brands in the "Good Food" area of Nanchong, and the brand effect continues to emerge.

We adhere to the 'big park+small owners+village collective' model for cluster development, introduce leading aquatic enterprises, cultivate 13 new business entities, and drive 156 small farming owners. While continuing to expand and strengthen the aquatic industry, we actively carry out the promotion and upgrading of modern agricultural parks for rice and fishery, "said the relevant person in charge of Yingshan County Agriculture and Rural Bureau.

Building a circle, strengthening the chain, and extending the chain of fish products to break into the big market

On April 12th, the author visited Nanchong Yingyu Aquatic Science and Technology Co., Ltd. located in Qingshui Township, Yingshan County. In the core breeding area of the Daoyu Modern Agricultural Park, workers were transporting domesticated sea bass fry to high-level ponds in the park for release, and the breeding production was orderly.

Last year, the Yingshan County Aquaculture Expert Workstation settled in Nanchong Yingyu Aquaculture Technology Co., Ltd. We cooperated with the Fisheries Research Institute of Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Provincial Aquaculture School, relying on professional strength to provide technical guidance and solve aquaculture technical problems. Yang Changjun, the person in charge of Nanchong Yingyu Aquaculture Technology Co., Ltd., said that last year the company also cooperated with Nanchong Academy of Agricultural Sciences to guide inland circular water aquaculture and achieved success. The first batch of freshwater domesticated sea bass production reached more than 50000 catties, and this year we plan to expand production to 100000 catties; At the same time, plans are being made to carry out freshwater domestication and breeding of new species such as black snapper and golden pomfret, enriching the variety of aquaculture products.

At present, the fish are still small, and ordinary oxygenation equipment can meet the demand for oxygen supply. When the temperature rises, the fish grow up, and the density increases, ordinary oxygenation equipment will not be enough, "Yang Changjun said. Therefore, this year, the park has added a set of liquid oxygen intelligent integrated automatic monitoring and oxygen control system, which is specifically designed to oxygenate high-level pools, effectively solving the problem of hypoxia in high-density aquaculture and ensuring the healthy growth of fish.

At present, Nanchong Yingyu Aquatic Science and Technology Co., Ltd. has established a complete production chain, complete supporting facilities such as fish fry incubation center, high-level pond, and tail water treatment for aquaculture, and has also built a distinctive aquatic product aquaculture center. In addition to the the four famous domestic fishes, seawater fish desalination aquaculture has achieved mass production, forming a diversified aquaculture pattern of fish, shrimp, turtles, etc.

It is reported that at the end of March this year, Sichuan Xinbei Food Co., Ltd. brought 8 flavors of fish dumplings, newly developed fish pine sauce and other products to the 14th China Food Processing and Packaging Equipment Exhibition of Liangzhilong · 2026 in Wuhan, Hubei. With its authentic flavor and excellent quality, it was highly favored by consumers and successfully won a large number of orders. The person in charge of the company, Yang Changjun, introduced that the freshwater fish dumpling series produced by Xinbei Food has filled the market gap in the southwest region, and its unique taste has been widely praised.

In addition to freshwater fish from aquaculture, we are fully committed to purchasing and processing freshwater fish from within the county, "said Yang Changjun." With the increase in production capacity, the scope of freshwater fish procurement has expanded to various counties (cities, districts) in Nanchong and even Guang'an, effectively driving the development and growth of surrounding farmers.

This year, the company also independently developed new products such as fish pine sauce. With the continuous improvement of production capacity, it has also driven the development of related agricultural industries. "Yang Changjun said that processing fish dumplings and fish pine sauce requires a large amount of agricultural products such as ginger, scallions, and chili, which are mostly supplied locally, to a certain extent, promoting the development of local planting industry.

Nowadays, Yang Changjun has opened a tasting shop for Shushui Yulang fish series products in Yingshan County. Special snacks such as "Qingshui fish porridge" and Yingyu dumplings are directly served on people's dining tables, providing a stable end market for Yingyu aquatic products and truly filling the last link of fishery development from breeding to processing, from sales to dining tables, achieving closed-loop development of the entire chain.

Taking aquaculture as the leading industry, we have established an "industrial chain" of seedling cultivation, breeding, and processing, improved technical guidance, product recycling, and market sales, and actively built a development pattern of "industrial network" of aquaculture, crop planting, and supporting fishery tourism, making the fishery industry more three-dimensional and rich, "said the person in charge of Yingshan County Agriculture and Rural Bureau.

Persist in the symbiosis of rice and fishery to build a higher level of 'Tianfu granary'

On April 11th, the author walked into Zhilin Frog Breeding Cooperative in Zisheng Village, Xinghuo Town, Yingshan County. The frog fields were about 10 centimeters deep, and tadpoles the size of mung beans were freely swimming in the water, densely packed and thriving.

This year's breeding density is higher than in previous years, "said Wang Guilin, the person in charge of the cooperative. Recently, the cooperative has released more than 25 million tadpoles in nearly 200 acres of frog fields, which is more than 7 million more than in previous years. Scientific high-density breeding will help further increase production and revenue.

Why does Wang Guilin have confidence and confidence in high-density frog farming? He explained the reason behind this: in the past, frog fields were divided into feeding areas, frog resting areas, and drainage ditches, resulting in low space utilization. At the end of last year, the cooperative renovated the frog field by integrating the rest area with the drainage ditch, expanding the frog activity and habitat space, and significantly improving the carrying capacity.

Previously, the frog field used stagnant water and only replenished it when the water was insufficient. After the renovation this year, all of it now uses circulating water. Wang Guilin told me that flowing water not only improves water quality, but also reduces the temperature of the frog field, providing a cool and comfortable environment for frog growth.

In addition to cooling by flowing water, it is more important to intercropping rice to form a natural shading and cooling system, "said Wang Guilin. The cooperative chose the Quanguangyou series of rice, which has lush leaves and tall plants, and can provide good shelter for frogs; The small insects in the rice fields are the natural bait for frogs, and frog feces can nourish rice. The two are mutually beneficial and complement each other.

After the integration of drainage ditches into rest areas this year, the rice planting area and frog activity space have further expanded, and the yield has increased synchronously. Wang Guilin said that in the past, the rice planting area in frog fields accounted for 60%, but this year it will increase to over 80%, and the rice yield is expected to increase by 20%; The production of frogs is expected to increase from 500000 catties to around 800000 catties, achieving a bountiful harvest in both planting and breeding. In recent years, Yingshan has fully relied on the "land of fish and rice" construction project, leveraged the ecological advantages of rice and fishery comprehensive planting and breeding, established a green, healthy, low-carbon and circular development mechanism, constructed a modern digital agriculture management system, and used rice field co cultivation ecological network technology to achieve dual improvement in aquatic and rice production; The annual output of rice in the Rice Fishery Modern Agricultural Park exceeds 11000 tons, and the comprehensive output value of rice fishery per mu exceeds 10000 yuan. We closely focus on the core of rice cultivation, vigorously develop three integrated farming models of rice fish, rice shrimp, and rice frog, and promote the balanced development of grain production and aquaculture. "The relevant person in charge of Yingshan County Agriculture and Rural Bureau introduced that currently, Yingshan has invested more than 40 million yuan to build a comprehensive rice fish farming base covering more than 20000 acres from Huilong to Qingshui and Dongsheng to Xiaoqiao. More than 2000 farmers from 17 villages (communities) in 8 townships actively participate, and the comprehensive annual output value of rice and fishery exceeds 200 million yuan.

The pond is full of fish and the warehouse is full of grain. We adhere to the principle of 'stabilizing grain and increasing efficiency, combining rice and fishery', finding a balance between grain production and aquatic development, and striving to build a higher-level 'Tianfu granary'. "The relevant person in charge of Yingshan County Agriculture and Rural Bureau stated that the county is integrating resources, planning and layout, and making every effort to create a park style beautiful 'land of fish and rice' with prosperous industries, prosperous life, livable ecology, and distinctive characteristics.
