Xinjiang'sSeafood

When you think of the sea，you may not think of Xinjiang.In the public impression， Xinjiang is often remembered as somewhere far from the sea with long hours of sunlight，a vast Gobi desert，and mountains with an extremely dry climate，unsuitable for seafood production due to the massive amount of water required.

However，Xinjiang now welcomes a big harvest of local“seafood”，such as shrimp and crabs.The most important thing for aquatic products（水产品） is water.Xinjiang has many rivers and lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers（冰川）of the Tianshan Mountains.“With the mountains on the side，there is no industrial pollution and agricultural pollution，which keeps the water clean and favors the growth of the fish，”said Li Chunyu， the head technician of the local trout farm.

Also，land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt.This is not good for growing crops.But“one man's trash is another man’s treasure".The land makes the underground water salty.People turn the salty water into“man-made seawater".They then use it to raise sea fish，shrimp and crabs.

Now，some of Xinjiang's“seafood”goes to many cities in China.It also goes to countries in Southeast Asia.It turns out that Xinjiang's“seafood”is becoming a new and favorable choice for seafood lovers.
