STORYLINE:
It is the season for farmers in Zhenlai County, northeast China's Jilin Province, to release juvenile crabs into the paddy fields.
Local farmers developed the mode to breed the river crabs in fields where rice is grown, taking the advantage of the ecological relationship between rice and crabs that helps reduce the use of pesticides and crab feed.
The mode also helps farmers planting rice increase incomes.
