When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang. In the public impression, Xinjiang is often remembered as somewhere far from the sea with long hours of sunlight, a vast Gobi desert, and mountains with an extremely dry climate, unsuitable for seafood production because of the massive amount of water required.
However, Xinjiang now welcome a big harvest of local "seafood", such as shrimp and crabs. The most important thing for aquatic products (农产品) is water. Xinjiang has many rivers and lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers of the Tianshan Mountains. "With the mountains on the side, there is no industrial pollution and agricultural pollution, which keeps the water clean and favors the growth of the fish," said Li Chunyu, the head technician of the local trout farm.
Also, land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt. This is not good for growing crops. But "one man's trash is another man's treasure". The land makes the underground water salty. People turn the salty water into "man-made seawater". They then use it to raise sea fish, shrimp and crabs.
Many people are worried about the safety of seafood because of the nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水). Some even feel desperate (绝望的) since they may no longer enjoy any seafood. Luckily, according to the Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the total output value of Xinjiang's fishery industry reached 4.2 billion yuan($580 million), an increase of 921 million yuancompared to 2019. Now, some of Xinjiang's "seafood" goes to many cities in China. It also goes to countries in Southeast Asia. It turns out that Xinjiang's "seafood" is becoming a new and favorable choice for seafood lovers.
