A large aquaculture ship with a load of 100,000 tons, the aquaculture water body reaches 80,000 cubic meters, and it is expected that a single ship will invest 400 million yuan, if the large yellow croaker, Atlantic salmon, yellowtail and other high-quality fish species are cultivated, the annual production capacity will exceed 4,000 tons, and the average annual operating income of a single ship will be at least one billion yuan or more in accordance with the consistent excellent quality of Jiagu production.

Of course, this is the budget after the successful development of a large-scale aquaculture ship.

The "Yellow Sea Cold Water Group Development Project", which plans to invest 4 billion yuan, including the research and development of large-scale aquaculture ships, has not caused much turmoil in the Jiagu Group, as Academician Zhou thought.

Because, the output of Jiagu Fishery alone is enough to support the investment of this project.

This year's Jiagu fishery has not yet entered its heyday. While many fine dining restaurants salivate over Jiagu seafood, the fishery can't reach its limit in the first year. Similarly, the "Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass Development Project" is not a one-time investment of 4 billion. As a result, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry do not even need loans, and can "raise fish farms with fishing grounds".

This once again illustrates that at any time, "there is a mine at home" is a tough phrase.

After the news spread, laymen could not experience this shock, but the industry and the government were all shaken by Jiagu's courage.

This is the largest project in China so far to empower the development of the marine economy with the power of capital, not to mention its great strategic significance.

Needless to say, the province of Shandong Province is sincere in its sincerity: Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry will be recognized as a high-tech fishery enterprise, and the enterprise income tax will be reduced or exempted according to regulations; the research and development expenses incurred by the enterprises shall be deducted at a rate of 75 percent; and the vehicle and vessel tax shall be exempted for fishing and breeding fishing vessels......

What made Qi Zheng happiest was that Academician Zhou of the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Professor Dong of the State Ocean University jointly submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Agriculture, expounding the necessity of "developing cold water masses in the Yellow Sea".

Under the promotion of the high-level, many ocean-related scientific research institutes such as the Marine National Laboratory, the National Academy of Hydrological Sciences, and the National Classification Society have participated in this project - which makes Qi Zheng more excited than Jiagu getting a huge loan. After all, the "Yellow Sea Cold Water Development Project" is a systematic project, and Jiagu is not short of money, but it lacks senior experts who can take charge of it on their own.

Ordinary people have not noticed, the industry is waiting, but China's marine aquaculture from the "yellow water" to the "deep blue" revolutionary leap, so low-key kicked off.

......

Near a reef 170 nautical miles away from Rizhao City, Lu Province.

Located at the confluence of the warm current and the cold water mass of the Yellow Sea, this sea area is rich in squid, prawns, mussels, etc., especially the squid flood. However, due to factors such as the decline of fishery resources due to long-term overfishing and the difficulty of replenishing isolated islands, the nearby waters have long been deserted.

This is a suitable offshore research base for the "Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass Development Project". The nearby 8,000 hectares of sea area are planned as a research and experimental area for the Jiagu Yellow Sea Fishing Grounds.

The large-scale aquaculture ships are still on paper, and there are no islands like Pishan Island nearby, only a large old oil tanker renovated by CSSC for the research team as a "stationing base", which is much more difficult than when Jiagu built its first fishing ground.

However, compared with the stationed environment, Academician Zhou and Professor Dong on the ship are more concerned about the nearby sea environment.

"It's barren!" both the shooting of underwater robots and the observation of divers can come to this conclusion.

Unlike the vibrant biological chains that have formed in the Jiagu Fishing Grounds, the grassroots ecological environment such as seaweed beds or oyster reefs in this area is almost gone, and only small schools of fish are scattered in the marine life.

"In many cases, without witnessing it with their own eyes, people simply do not know that the depletion of China's coastal fishery resources is even more serious than imagined!" Academician Zhou sighed: "In the Yellow Sea, the main economic fish in the last century were large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail fish, white croaker, etc., and since the 90s, the protagonists have become blue-spotted mackerel, mackerel, and silver pomfret, etc., all of which are sub-biological communities at the next level of the food chain! How much has the average trophic level dropped......

Professor Dong nodded with affection.

The rapid change of marine fishery has always been a pain in the hearts of the older generation of aquatic people like Academician Zhou and Professor Dong - they are still immersed in the nostalgia for wild large yellow croaker, but today's domestic fishing grounds, like this sea area, only see the figure of low-value fish such as Balang fish.

And a new generation of aquatic people like Qi Zheng don't have so much emotion, but more of the pride of "daring to change the sun and the moon for a new day".

"One day, our territorial waters will be restored to their richness!"

Thinking of what Qi Zheng once said in a flat tone, Academician Zhou and Professor Dong looked at each other and smiled: "The world of young people!"

There is no ridicule, only full of longing - as long as you have seen the "sea ranch" built by Jiagu, you will not doubt the weight of it.

For example, at present, before building deep-sea cages to explore cold-water salmon farming, Jiagu first put artificial reefs and seaweed beds on a large scale to create the cornerstone of marine ecology - a decision made by Qi Zheng, and even led the construction himself.

It is said that the United States has a very grand plan to build a large-scale marine ranch in the open sea and turn the entire continental shelf into a marine ranch, and the island countries also have a similar plan...... But I think that our country has Jiagu, maybe we can accomplish this feat earlier!" Academician Zhou suddenly said looking at the fishing boats that were methodically putting artificial reefs in the distance.

Professor Dong squinted, but he couldn't imagine that his old friend was so optimistic about Jiagu.

You must know that the United States is one of the most distinctive countries in the construction of marine ranching. The large reefs that people put on are scrapped merchant ships, decommissioned warships and aircraft carriers...... To date, U.S. marine ranching has generated more than $50 billion in comprehensive economic benefits.

The island country has more fancy tricks, and it is also a breeding reef and a floating reef, so as to develop recreational fishing, and it is said that a reef group can obtain a profit of more than 2.8 million yuan per year......

And what about the domestic market? Marine ranching is in its infancy. Moreover, our biological resource endowment and current situation are far inferior to those of the United States and Japan -- their fishery resources are relatively rich, so their marine ranches are mainly for fish collection and breeding, emphasizing increasing catch, while the basic environment for the reproduction of marine organisms such as seaweed beds, seagrass beds, oyster reefs or coral reefs in China's coastal waters is extremely seriously damaged, and they are already facing the dilemma of having no fish to collect, and it is more necessary to take into account the function of restoring the ecological environment and increasing the amount of fishery resources.

The situation is more complicated, and Jiagu has only built one fishing ground, so it is difficult to say that it has scale effects......

Is it too exaggerated for old friends to be determined in Jiagu?

After all, Professor Dong had just cooperated with Jia Gu and didn't have much understanding of someone's "cheating Dafa", but soon, he was able to witness it.

Because, at this time, Qi Zheng drove a yacht to roam the sea, called "inspecting the sea conditions".

As a matter of fact......

"Well, how should this fishing ground be opened gracefully?"
