2024 Overview and Prospects of Crawfish, Freshwater Shrimp, and Macrobrachium Rosenbergii Farming
Abstract：Crawfish farming mainly focuses on early and late harvests to achieve staggered market supply, with generally good farming benefits. 'Scientific Fish Farming': Could you please tell us about the crawfish farming situation in the past three years, especially in 2024? Chen Huanggen: In 2022, crawfish farming production was stable, with low incidence rates, a stable market, and good farming benefits. In 2023, the incidence rate of crawfish farming increased, output decreased, prices fell, and farming benefits declined to some extent compared to 2022, mainly due to low unit output, insufficient market demand, and weak consumption. In the first half of 2024, the farming production situation was good, with stable but slightly declining adult crawfish prices, and moderate benefits for early harvests. In the second half of the year, affected by extreme high temperatures, disease incidence increased, leading to a slight decline in survival rates for late harvest crawfish. However, prices rose by more than 30% compared to the same period last year, reaching a high level in recent years, with generally good farming economic benefits, especially noticeable income increases from integrated farming in crab ponds.
