Crab Farming - China

Crab Farming - China

Li Nan (R) and a farmer catch crabs in Xuegong Village, Linyi County, north China's Shanxi Province, Aug. 10, 2024. Located on the bank of the Yellow River, Xuegong Village boasts over 333.3 hectares of Yellow River tidal flats and nearly 333.3 hectares of barren ditches. In recent years, the local community has integrated these lands to develop specialized aquaculture. The Yellow River tidal flats with lush aquatic plants provide excellent conditions for crab growth. 39-year-old Li Nan returned home to start a crab farming business four years ago.

Villagers frequently come to him fo
