STORYLINE:
In northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, which is over a thousand miles away from the coast, a farm cultivating saltwater fish is redefining the local understanding of seafood and fisherman.
Hongqi Farm, located in Atux City of Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, began a bold experiment to raise saltwater fish in saline-alkali water.
Flowing in abundance from a nearby valley, the salty water has long been seen as unusable wastewater.
With the assistance funds from south China's Guangdong Province, the farm has managed to fertilize the saline-alkali water naturally to simulate a marine water environment, and it has built an automatic purification system that allows the water to be reused.
Saltwater seafood options from prawns to lobsters have been piloted
