fishing ban is approaching and we need to grab hold of fresh seafood

From May 1, Zhejiang will usher in another four and a half months' fishing ban. "We have to eat a few more meals these days to get addicted, and then we'll have a period of"food cuts." Aunt Lin, who is choosing seafood at Pingfeng Street Farmer's Market in Xiacheng District of Hangzhou, said so.

Since 2017, the fishing suspension period of the Ministry of Agriculture has been extended and advanced to May 1 after the adjustment of the system. This is the longest fishing suspension period since 1995, when China implemented the system of fishing suspension in the summer of the ocean.

The big sister of the seafood stall in the Zhejiang Fengqi Agricultural and sideline Products Trade Market said that the price of seafood has fluctuated greatly recently, such as a small yellow croaker variety of the same size. The previous purchase price was more than 10 yuan, which has risen to 20 yuan in recent days. "Fresh seafood is still in supply, but high-end supplies are already tight. The prices of most seafood, such as hairtail, pomfret and croaker, have risen considerably." Aunt Zhang said.
