Since the end of June, with the end of the southern shed shrimp, the purchase price of Penaeus vannamei in Guangdong and Guangxi has continued to rise, and the supply of shrimp in several major aquatic markets is often not enough to sell, and the wholesale price has also risen.
Tangkou is very out of stock, the market often urges the goods, the shrimp in the Pearl River Delta and other places have been very busy recently, in the past, farmers took the initiative to call to sell shrimp, now the shrimp can only contact the farmers frequently, and have to expand the business scope to a farther area to find shrimp.
In the first half of this year, the price of vannamei shrimp was depressed for a long time, and now the price of shrimp has rebounded, and some people even chant "rocket shrimp" is coming.
The price of shrimp has indeed risen, and it is more powerful, sometimes a pond of shrimp is robbed by several shrimps, and the price can rise more than once a day. Taking the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong as an example, 30 in Jiangmen rose to 20-21 yuan/jin, and 40 rose to 17 yuan/jin; Zhuhai 30 rose to 20.5-21.5 yuan/jin, 40 17 yuan/jin; The supply of Zhongshan is very small, and 30 have risen to 21 yuan / catty.
The wholesale price of shrimp in the seafood market has risen
For the rise in shrimp prices, some farmers lamented that the good days of shrimp are coming again, but for those who are familiar with the market, they feel that the pressure is still very great, because they know that the fundamental reason for the current price increase is the shortage of goods in the production area, not how good the market consumption is, once the new batch of finished shrimp begins to go on the market, the price should fall down.
Boss Li of Daao Town, Xinhui District, Jiangmen, has been raising vannamei shrimp for 15 years, and there are currently a total of 4 shrimp ponds, with a total of about 70 acres, "The price of shrimp has not been good in recent years, especially the impact of small shed shrimp is very strong, and our local shrimp people have significantly decreased." Although Boss Li also made money, he made more than 100,000 yuan less than in previous years.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer old acquaintances raising shrimp around, Boss Li was still unwilling and raised another stubble of open-air seedlings. However, Boss Li also made some adjustments. First, in the standard coarse stage of shrimp seedlings, the density of seedlings has been reduced, and great efforts have been made in nutritional fortification, and the emergence rate of this batch of seedlings is not bad; Second, in terms of feed feeding, he took out the two ponds (No. 3) and No. (4) for experiments, and replaced the traditional feeder with a special 360-degree wind feeder for shrimp farming in Foshan Zhongyu Technology.
In the selection of materials, Boss Li continued to use his commonly used shrimp feed, but in the feeding mode, (1) pond (2) pond continued the feeding rhythm of previous years, and installed the (3) pond (4) pond of the 360-degree wind feeder, he set the feeder to feed for 10 minutes and stop for 20 minutes, of which in the 10 minutes of feeding, he set it to feed for 10 seconds and stop for 20 seconds, "If you feed in this way, the time for the feed to soak in water will be reduced, and the feed waste will be greatly reduced. The food is much better, and the water quality is better controlled."
Compared with the No. (1) pond (No. 2) pond without the replacement feeder, the new feeder has brought two most obvious changes to the (3) pond and (4) pond. First, in terms of proofing specifications, the (3) pond (4) pond with the new feeder is used, and the shrimp specifications are faster, at least 5-8 larger, and some shrimps are more than 10 larger, and the vitality of the shrimp is very good, "the feed ratio of this batch of shrimp is definitely low, and the cost of materials will definitely decrease."
Second, the water quality is better controlled, and the cost of medication is reduced. Especially in the recent Pearl River Delta region, there are more high temperature days, many shrimp ponds have appeared in the water concentration algae, Vibrio outbreak and other problems, although Boss Li is very meticulous management, but (1) pond (2) pond also has a small problem, "and (3) pond (4) pond everything is smooth, the same is usually regular water transfer with bacteria to change the bottom, the difference between the four ponds is indeed more obvious."
The use of the Chinese fishery company shrimp special 360 degree wind feeder has been for a period of time, through continuous observation and comparison, Boss Li has a number in his heart, the comprehensive cost of this batch of shrimp must be cheaper than in previous years, he plans to wait until this batch of shrimp is sold out, the (1) pond (2) pond is also replaced with a 360 degree wind feeder.
After careful management, Boss Li's (3) pond (4) pond is expected to enter the sprint stage in late July, while (1) pond (2) pond will be postponed for about 15-20 days, "taking advantage of the current price is not bad, it is expected that there will still be a good price at the end of July and early August, as long as the specifications are met, I will start selling shrimp."
For the current shrimp price, Boss Li believes that although it looks okay at the moment, he also understands that the sales volume of several aquatic markets such as Guangzhou is not stable, and the business of many restaurants is not very good, so he still wants to try to get shrimp out as soon as possible to seize the commanding heights of prices.
