Nation-wide aquiculture makes luxury abalone a course in ordinary families 　　Nowadays, abalone has changed from a titbit in top grade banquet in the past to a delicious course in the ordinary families, which is not only contributed to the hard work of mariculture farmers, but also the service of the abalone feed research and production enterprise in our city. 　　In recent years, abalone is extremely popular in the market at a high price, which causes the nation-wide abalone breeding. Unlike the common fishes or shrimps, which have special immunity and general immunity, abalone is a coddled sea product with only one kind of very weak immunity, so it can hardly survive once it gets ill. In order to overcome the problem that abalone farmers suffer from, Xiamen Jiancheng Research Institute of Fishery Sciences has successfully developed a series of nutritious feed through many years of researches, which can be used in every growing period of abalone, can effectively prevent abalone from suffering “crack shell disease”, so as to increase the rate of grown abalone. 　　Liu Jiancheng, director of Xiamen Jiancheng Research Institute of Fishery Sciences, made his introduction about their secret recipe like this: “we make the microelement additive and vitamin additive by ourselves, which is the most important thing. For applying special processing technology, the particle size of crushed raw material reaches more than 200 order (the crushed particle size of general feed is 80 order), which can greatly increase the digestibility of feed. In addition, we use special calcification technology, which is environmentally friendly, and causes no pollution.” 　　At present, their products have become well-known among the abalone farmers all over the country without the need of advertising, Tsinghua University also chose their product to make the “National Research 863”, and gained a satisfying result. Nowadays, Jiancheng Company has occupied half share of the abalone feed market. In the past, institute director Liu Jiancheng always worried about how to develop the enterprise into a large one, but now, Jiancheng Company has found its new cooperation partners through the platform “6.18”, and has also gained the support of special fund from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. “Ten years have passed since the establishment of our institute, and I believe that it will develop rapidly through the platform ‘6.18’”, he said. 　　It is said by the municipal Development and Reform Commission that the feed industry was not only beneficial to abalone farmers, but also played an important role to develop relevant aquiculture, because 100 tons of spiral seaweed powder and 500 tons of dried seaweed (equal to 5,000 tons of fresh seaweed) will be need each year to produce the feed at present. 　　It is said that Jiancheng Institute has purchase new workshops with an area of 4,000sq.m, which is located in Siming Industrial Park, Tongan Intensive Industrial Area. When the new workshop comes into production this September, the annual production capacity will reach to 1,000 tons, which is two times more than that of the present.
