This year is the earliest year since Mid -Autumn Festival since 2015. Although the hairy crabs in the Yangcheng Lake production area are "absent" Mid -Autumn Festival, the most commonly eaten Liangzi Lake hairy crabs in Wuhan people will also be available after the holiday, but merchants have also prepared hairy crabs in other producing areas to help festivals. Direct hairy crabs from 5,000 acres of bases from the Dazai Lake production area of ​​Yancheng, Jiangsu have successfully "climbed" the shelves of Hema in Wuhan.

On September 9th, Jimu Journalists saw at the Hema Store that the three specifications of hairy crabs have been arranged neatly on the ice table, including 2 two, 2.5, and 3, both of which are female crabs. The staff came to "moisturize" the water crabs every one or two hours, while the inventory was cool in the refrigerator of about 15 ° C.

According to the staff, the hairy crabs were ripe in the early days of listing, the crab yellow was not fully full, and the crab body was tender. There may be pliers and feet during the delivery.

Zhang Wencong, the purchase of water products in Hema Wuhan, admits that this year's hairy crabs have the phenomenon of tight supply before the Mid -Autumn Festival. Behind the tight market, in addition to the early Mid-Autumn Festival, there are continuous high temperature and drought in the East China region in August to September, which inhibits the shelling and growth of hairy crabs.

Hairy crabs are raw seeds from around the Spring Festival to mature, and they must molt 4-5 times in total. "Crab can only grow further by the molten shell, but the molten shell has requirements for water temperature." Jiang Liang, a breeding household, said that when the water temperature exceeds 32 ° C, hairy crabs stop eating and not molting. Because of high temperature, some hairy crabs climb to the shore, and long -term dehydration will lead to high mortality. "Mid -Autumn Festival this year, hairy crabs are scarce and small specifications are common situations in the market."

Except for quietly waiting for the molting of hairy crabs, it is not available. Grand Crab Jiangsu occupied more than 40 % of my country's hairy crabs. Hema has more than 5,000 acres of hairy crab breeding bases in the Dalonghu production area of ​​Yancheng, Jiangsu.

"From mid -August, we have a special person every day to detect crab yellow and fertilizer. By the end of August, the specifications of female crabs have reached 2.5, which is the leading specifications in the market." The output will exceed 1.5 million kg.

Since the arrest, the base is fishing, screening, bundling, packaging, and then packing in 22 cities across the country every morning. It only takes 24 hours from the place of production to the Hema shelf in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Xi'an, etc. The ground is only 48 hours. Next, hairy crabs with high maturity and full crab yellow will continue to be listed in large quantities until the Spring Festival next year.

Nine female ten male. Zhang Wencong said that the mother crabs are full of yellow in the lunar calendar every year and the best taste. Consumers who want to eat crab pastes have to wait about the previous month. By then, the male crab has developed to a certain stage. The crab paste is full and the meat is tender. If you want to judge that hairy crabs are male or female, you can distinguish it through the crab's belly. The shell of the mother crab's abdomen is oval. The shell of the male crab's abdomen is triangular, and the surface will have a cyan paste.
