Survival boost for Inner Mongolia crab seedlings

Smart aquaculture aimed at bountiful harvest in banner

Since the end of March, approximately 3 million high-quality crab seedlings have been released at the Jinsha Bay base in Shahai township of Bayannuur's Hanggin Rear Banner, in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. Totaling 26,500 kilograms, the Yangtze River Chinese mitten crab seedlings carry the hope of a bountiful harvest on the saline-alkali flats of the Hetao Plain.

To boost survival rates and ensure the seedlings settle smoothly, technicians completed preliminary preparations such as water quality regulation and oxygenation, along with equipment adjustments, to lay a solid foundation for the aquaculture work. The saline-alkali land, which once hindered agricultural development, has been transformed into a natural incubator for cultivating high-quality river crabs.
