Technology empowers intelligent equipment to assist in increasing production and income of "offshore granaries" platform | Fubao | Equipment
CCTV News: Continuing the "Building a Modern Industrial System" series of reports, today we will continue to focus on modern ocean ranches. With a batch of intelligent and standardized deep-water aquaculture facilities gradually being put into use, China's modernization of marine fisheries is entering the "fast lane". The construction of marine ranches has become an important choice to guide technological revolution and develop low-carbon economy. What are the advantages of modern ocean ranching compared to traditional farming, animal husbandry, and fishing? Follow the reporter to take a look.
At 3am, before dawn, Wu Zhangyu, a fisherman from Lianjiang County, Fujian Province, organized more than 20 local villagers to go out to sea together. Cleaning the net cage, unloading the goods, and feeding the abalone, the fishermen were busy until the sky gradually brightened.

In the deeper distance of this sea area, this "Steel Island" with a total area of 1200 square meters is currently the largest deep-sea abalone breeding platform in China, "Fubao 1".
CCTV reporter Wu Zheyu: I just sailed from Tailu Town, Lianjiang County, Fujian Province for more than 20 minutes and arrived at "Fubao 1", which is the first independently developed deep-sea aquaculture platform in Fujian Province. The sea area where the platform is located has a depth of about 35 meters, and abalone is kept at a depth of about 8 meters. Here, there is a high exchange rate of seawater, a more stable water temperature, and better water quality. In such an environment, the survival rate of abalone can increase by more than ten percentage points, and the weight and yield can also increase by 20%.

Fubao No.1 is also equipped with water quality monitoring, automatic oxygenation, remote data transmission system and other equipment to improve the quality of aquaculture.
During the interview, a group of buyers came to inspect the abalone raised by Wu Yongshou, and the abalone that was larger than the palm of the hand caught the buyer's attention.

Luo Tuyan, Chief Expert of the Aquaculture Service Team of the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that abalone production accounts for 90% of the world's total, and large-scale aquaculture has been achieved, making abalone a high-quality and affordable home cooked dish for the people.
According to data released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on June 19th, as of now, China's deep-sea aquaculture water body is nearly 44 million cubic meters, with a production of 400000 tons, accounting for more than 20% of the aquaculture production of marine fish. The development of deep-sea aquaculture has achieved initial results. Next, China will continue to focus on key areas and key links in the development of deep-sea aquaculture, and promote the transformation and upgrading of marine fisheries towards informatization, intelligence, and modernization.
