The world's farthest place from the ocean has achieved large-scale salmon (trout) farming

Xinjiang is the place farthest from the ocean in the world. Nileke County once topped the Internet hot search list for achieving large-scale salmon farming.

Ili Prefecture has three major water systems, mainly glacier meltwater, with sweet and clear water sources and water temperatures below 20°C all year round, which is suitable for large-scale ecological salmon farming.

Nileke County has built salmon farming bases in Jilintai Reservoir and Wenquan Reservoir.

At present, the annual salmon production capacity in Nileke County has reached more than 10,000 tons, and has formed a full industrial chain development model integrating seedling breeding, smart farming, scientific and technological research and development, cultural experience, and sightseeing tourism.

The underwater "pollution cleaning robot" here is equipped with a sonar system and an imaging system. It can dive underwater to collect fish feces and leftover bait in the water, and then process them into organic fertilizer for landscaping.
