Autumn breezes bring refreshment, and crabs grow plump with rich roe. Recently, the Wuxing Lake hairy crabs from Shanxi Yongsheng Technology Aquatic Products Development Co., Ltd. began pond harvesting and rushed to market for freshness. Plump, lively ecological hairy crabs with thick roe came out of the ponds fresh, adding a delicious taste of autumn to residents' dining tables.

At the hairy crab breeding base, workers were skillfully pulling up ground cages. As the cages slowly emerged from the water, plump, energetic hairy crabs leaped out. Wei Kaiyong, head of Shanxi Yongsheng Technology Aquatic Products Development Co., Ltd., said: This year I raised 1,500 mu of hairy crabs, with yields of about 280 to 300 jin per mu. The crab in my hand weighs half a jin for males and about three to four liang for females. Prices this year are decent.

Relying on the unique Yellow River water resource advantages and wetland ecological environment of Wuxing Lake, the company adheres to the concept of ecological priority and green breeding, promoting standardized, refined, and ecological breeding models to ensure natural growth and natural fattening of the hairy crabs. Liu Chengren, technical head of Shanxi Yongsheng Technology Aquatic Products Development Co., Ltd., said: We practice ecological breeding, with especially high requirements for the water environment and pond bottom environment. This land is saline-alkali soil, so we need to plant aquatic plants and regulate water quality. When feeding bait, we must do it at fixed times, fixed locations, and in fixed amounts. We have dedicated personnel inspecting and observing daily, promptly supplementing algae and bacteria to better adjust water quality. Only in this way can we raise good, fat crabs.

The company head told reporters that as National Day approaches, Wuxing Lake ecological hairy crabs have also entered a sales boom, with orders pouring in from various places. At present, the base's pre-orders for hairy crabs have reached about 50,000 jin. Batches of fresh, plump hairy crabs will be shipped across the country, bringing Yongji's high-quality local lake delicacies to thousands of households and spreading their fragrance to markets nationwide.
