Red Pomfret Characteristics

Distribution

Native to the Amazon River basin in South America, it has now been widely introduced to tropical and subtropical freshwater and brackish water regions worldwide. In China, major aquaculture areas are concentrated in southern provinces such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Hainan. It is primarily cultured in ponds and net cages, exhibiting strong adaptability and is a common commercially farmed fish species.

Nutrition

High in protein and low in fat (protein content 17%-20%), tender and easily digestible.

Rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids, which help maintain normal human metabolism.

Contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron, as well as B vitamins and vitamin E, providing balanced nutrition.

Core Advantages of Chinese Aquaculture

Dual-mode climate adaptation

Southern provinces (Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan) have water temperatures of 25-30℃ for 8-10 months annually, meeting the growth requirements. Energy costs for aquaculture in natural waters are 15%-20% lower than in the high-temperature regions of Southeast Asia.

Northern provinces (Shandong, Henan) utilize greenhouse technology and industrial circulating water systems, leveraging hot spring water and waste heat to achieve "southern fish farming in the north," ensuring stable winter water temperatures ≥22℃, overcoming climate limitations.

Independent Seedling Cultivation

Institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences have bred high-quality, adaptable seedlings with a survival rate exceeding 85%, at a cost 30% lower than imported seedlings.

Seedling characteristics can be adjusted according to different regional needs (freshwater/branchwater).

Precisely Tailored Feed

Utilizing domestic soybean meal, wheat bran, and other grain resources, we have developed a low-protein feed (28%-32% protein content) specifically for red pomfret.

Feed Conversion Rate (FCR) is only 1.8-2.0, far lower than the cost of imported high-protein feeds.

Feed suppliers are located near major aquaculture areas, significantly reducing logistics costs.

Supply Guarantee

A north-south coordinated aquaculture model ensures stable supply throughout the year. Source quality control ensures full traceability. Support for cold chain logistics solutions in the African market. Provision of aquaculture technical guidance and after-sales support.
