Continued torrential rains have also had a major impact on aquaculture. On June 15, a number of aquaculture farmers in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong told reporters that due to continuous rainstorms and the spring tide on June 15, the water level of the river rose sharply, causing the river to flood back. Jiangmen Xinhui Da'ao, Foshan Shunde, Zhuhai Doumen and other places. A large number of fish and shrimp ponds were flooded, and the damage was more serious.

 

Jiangmen Xinhui Daao farmer Boss Zheng reported that on June 15th, around 10:00 in the morning, a large number of shrimp ponds of the surrounding farmers were flooded. , most of them lost tens of thousands of yuan per mu, and a few who raised loach and raw fish suffered heavy losses from flooding.

The farmers inside the levee suffered little loss, and the farmers outside the levee suffered extensive damage.

 

Guangdong

Heavy rainfall will continue in Guangdong in the next week, and the risk of disaster is extremely high, so it is necessary to strengthen defense

On June 15, the reporter learned from the Guangdong Meteorological Observatory that heavy rainfall areas in Guangdong Province will repeatedly appear in cities and counties in northern Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta in the next week. The upstream water is obvious, and the disaster risks are superimposed. It is necessary to strengthen the relevant defense work.

On June 15, the reporter learned from the Guangzhou Emergency Management Bureau that due to the combined influence of upstream floods and astronomical tides, it is expected that the tide level of the Pearl River in Guangzhou will exceed the warning line in the next three days.

It is estimated that the highest tide level on June 15: the Laoyagang Hydrological Station of the Pearl River West Channel is 3.1 meters at 14:00, 1.1 meters above the warning level; the Zhongda Hydrological Station on the Pearl River Front Channel is 2.9 meters at 12:30, and the warning is 1.0 meters above the warning level. The Guangzhou Hydrology Branch of the Guangdong Hydrology Bureau issued a red flood warning in the central city of Guangzhou at 7:00 on the 15th, and reminded the public to pay attention to water traffic safety and stop water activities that are not related to flood control.

 

Fujian Fujian

In the past few days, there have been continuous heavy rainfall in many places in Fujian, and Longyan City, located in western Fujian, has encountered several rounds of localized and sudden extreme rainstorms, resulting in varying degrees of damage. Waterlogging occurred in the urban area of Sanming, and many places on both sides of the Shaxi River were flooded.

 

In the face of the disaster, Longyan City went all out for disaster relief and resettlement, and strengthened the implementation of various preventive measures such as inspection and personnel transfer.

Huang Zhigang, a senior engineer at the Fujian Provincial Meteorological Service Center, said that on the 15th, the rain belt moved south, and coastal cities should prevent waterlogging and flooding. From the 16th to the 18th, the rain in northern Fujian will increase again, and the risk of geological disasters is high. After the 19th, the rainfall tends to increase. Slow, the rainy season is coming to an end.

 

From 6:00 on the 13th to 6:00 on the 14th, a total of 22 rivers and 30 stations in Fujian exceeded the alarm by 0.01 meters to 4.06 meters.

A flood of 0.56m to 0.98m beyond the insurance coverage occurred. Provincial defense refers to rolling flood control and dispatching of large reservoirs such as Shuikou, Miantan, Ansha, etc., pre-draining the reservoir, cutting peaks and shifting peaks, which greatly reduces the flood control pressure and pressure on the lower reaches of the Hanjiang River in Guangdong, Sanming City, Yongan City, and Shaxian District. disaster losses.

 

On the morning of June 15, the Xiamen Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning.

Guangxi

From June 10th to 14th, heavy rainstorms occurred in 17 counties in Guangxi for several consecutive days. The heavy rainfall areas during this process overlapped with historical high-risk areas. According to the data provided by the Disaster Relief Office of the Guangxi Emergency Department, there are 66 counties (cities, districts) Floods occurred.

 

It is expected that in the coming week (June 15-21), there will be more rainfall in Guangxi and the accumulated rainfall will be large. From 17-21, there will be a continuous heavy rainfall process due to the combined influence of short-wave trough, low vortex shear and low-level jet. Compared with the same period of previous years, the average temperature in most parts of the region is 2°C~3°C lower, the rainfall is 50% to 2 times higher in western Guangxi and 3~4 times higher in eastern Guangxi.

 

According to the information of the frontier of aquatic products from the Guangdong freshwater fish distributor Zhai, his major customer in Tengxian County, Wuzhou, Guangxi, nine ponds were completely destroyed and submerged by heavy rains and floods overnight, and more than 200 acres of high-density freshwater fish were cultured. , It is estimated that no less than 170,000 catties of grass carp and more than 80,000 catties of crucian carp have all disappeared. The specific losses are: a batch of 3-7 catties of grass carp is about 150,000 catties, a batch of half catties of seedlings is about 20,000 catties, and the seedlings of crucian carp last year were all 82 fish. Mr. Zhai said that the direct loss this time was 1.5-1.8 million, and there was even a loan of 400-500,000 feed.

General Manager Yuan of Guangdong Zhengyu Feed said that it has rained these days in Guangdong, and the ponds have been flooded again, and the water pump cannot pump the heavy rain. After the rain, half of the shrimp in the market will be lost, and the reduction of aquaculture this year is a foregone conclusion. In addition to Guangdong, shrimp farming in Guangxi is also mourning, the success rate may be less than 10%, only a few thousand catties of shrimp are produced from hundreds of acres of shrimp ponds, and more than 90% of farmers lose money.

 

Heavy rains in the south, rising rivers, flooding of farms, and constant diseases, further increase the cost of aquaculture, the price of fish and shrimp in the next few months will tend to rise, and will only increase in the short term. So for those who need to buy now, now is a good time to buy, because it is difficult to have an advantage in the price in the next few months.
