Colonization has become a new growth point of fishery economic development. Looking at the market situation of ornamental fish at home and abroad in recent years, we can see that the development of ornamental fish is facing good development opportunities and social environment, and ornamental fish breeding will become a dynamic emerging industry with broad development prospects.
First, the present situation of ornamental fish market and ornamental fish culture
Ornamental fish can be generally divided into five categories: goldfish, koi fish, tropical fish, other freshwater ornamental fish and other seawater ornamental fish. About 1600 species of ornamental fish are traded. Freshwater ornamental fish mainly come from Southeast Asian countries, Singapore and China. Marine ornamental fish mainly come from Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Caribbean, Kenya, Mauritius and countries along the Red Sea. The export volume of ornamental fish ranks first in Asia, and the supply accounts for more than 50% of the global total. The main exporters of freshwater ornamental fish in Europe are Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The exporting countries of marine ornamental fish are France, Spain and Italy. China is mainly engaged in freshwater ornamental fish breeding and export trade. In 199, the export value was $2.322 million, accounting for 1.4% of the world's total ornamental fish exports, and the import value was $224,000, accounting for only 0.09% of the world's total imports. Guangzhou and Shanghai are the main import and export areas. China goldfish is well-known at home and abroad, and China's participation in the international ornamental fish market is gradually increasing.
Second, the problems and development potential of ornamental fish culture in China
1, the culture technology of ornamental fish in China is still dominated by traditional culture methods, with low technical content and unstable industry. The export qualification rate of cultured goldfish (1999 statistics) is only 5%. Over the years, the cultivation technology, market development and industrial development of ornamental fish have all originated from fishermen's exploration and accumulation, lacking guidance and support, and even lacking their own characteristics. Cultivated varieties, low quality grade, no characteristics in shape and color. The export of ornamental fish is not smooth, and the market of ornamental fish is active, but it has never been able to form a scale. The technology level of ornamental fish culture is low and its development potential is great. If we regard the existing problems and gaps as potential and improve the scientific and technological level of ornamental fish culture as soon as possible, a new situation will appear in ornamental fish culture in China.
2. Lack of industry organization, blind production, ineffective information in the industry, insufficient grasp of foreign ornamental fish market, and fragmentation phenomenon can no longer adapt to the increasingly fierce international and domestic market competition. Internal competition and bargaining allow foreign businessmen to reap profits. The market demand for ornamental fish will increase. How to organize the production of ornamental fish and occupy the international market of ornamental fish is an urgent task to be explored.
3. The export packaging technology of ornamental fish in China is poor and the industrial scale is small. The annual export of ornamental fish in China exceeds 654.38+billion, accounting for one tenth of the world's export, but the export only accounts for a little more than 654.38+0% of the world's export. Because of poor packaging technology, unfamiliarity with foreign markets, and the phenomenon of entrepot trade or agency in import and export, most of the profits are easily taken away by foreign businessmen.
4. The service system of ornamental fish breeding has not been established, and the product circulation market is not smooth. In recent years, the upsurge of ornamental fish culture urgently requires the establishment of an ornamental fish culture service system integrating fry, feed, disease prevention and marketing.
5. There is a lack of professionals engaged in ornamental fish farming. A strong professional team of aquaculture is a reliable guarantee for the development of ornamental fish culture.
Third, the development of China's ornamental fish countermeasures
1, constantly introduce excellent varieties and improve the grade. We should give priority to the development of China's characteristic ornamental fish-goldfish, improve the export qualification rate, and open up the international ornamental fish market. Scientifically and systematically sort out, summarize and study traditional breeding techniques, establish goldfish original seed breeding base, combine scientific research with popularization, develop, popularize and utilize scientific research results, vigorously advocate scientific breeding of ornamental fish, provide information and guidance for producers, and make leisure ornamental fish breeding last for a long time.
2, straighten out the production and marketing system, to avoid unreasonable domestic price competition. Establish and improve China's goldfish and ornamental fish import and export institutions (or trade organizations or intermediary organizations), coordinate export prices in all aspects of production and sales, so that aquaculture producers and export marketers can obtain reasonable benefits, support and promote each other, coordinate external supply prices, provide domestic and foreign market information and services, and do a good job in organizing production and acquisition.
3, further improve the packaging technology, improve the transportation survival rate. Strengthen scientific management and implement inspection and quarantine to ensure the smooth and safe import and export of ornamental fish. Avoid the invasion of viruses and bacteria when introducing varieties and protect the ornamental fish industry.
4. Expand the export varieties of ornamental aquatic animals, develop ornamental fish varieties and other rare aquatic animals and plants with long-term competitiveness, so as to expand export to earn foreign exchange.
5. Industrialization of ornamental fish. The industrialization of ornamental fish is guided by domestic and foreign markets, centered on improving economic benefits, based on joint-stock cooperation and family management, and implements multi-level, multi-form and diversified optimal combinations to form a variety of
Characteristic industrial chain, in order to realize regional layout, specialized production, integrated management, socialized service and enterprise management, and promote the modernization of ornamental fish industry. It is necessary to cultivate the "leading" enterprises in the ornamental fish industry, give full play to the powerful promotion and demonstration leading role of the "leading" enterprises, provide suitable and high-quality ornamental fish fry for the international market, implement the group model of "ten farmers and one company", and accelerate the development pace of the ornamental fish industry.
6. Pay attention to the cultivation of professionals in ornamental fish, tap and cultivate professionals from the front line, set up related majors suitable for market demand in colleges and universities, cultivate professionals in ornamental fish industry, change the present situation of aquaculture and production of ornamental fish, and adapt to the needs of the development of international ornamental fish market.
