Introduction to Nalin Fish

Nalin Fish is a specialty of Bobai County, Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. On December 29, 2017, the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine approved the implementation of geographical indication product protection for "Nalin Fish". The people of Bobai have had the habit of using mountain spring water to raise fish since ancient times. Grass carp are the main fish in the forest. Taking advantage of the abundant mountain spring water sources, continuous water flow, fresh water quality, pollution-free, and sufficient dissolved oxygen, people have built small fish ponds of 10-100 square meters by the creek, mountain ditch, and other places. They also use the local unique spring water to freely drop, forming a circular water aquaculture called "small nest raising big fish". Nalin fish grows in mountain spring water all year round and is fed with tender grass, vegetable leaves and other forage. After 3 to 4 years of breeding, it reaches more than 6 kilograms, thus forming the unique characteristics of firm meat, freshness, fragrance, and sweetness. Accumulated rich experience in breeding and management through long-term practice, and passed down from generation to generation<21. It is warm in winter and cool in summer in the area of Nalin Town. The water temperature is below 10 degrees in winter and about 25 degrees in summer, which is suitable for the growth of Nalin fish all year round. However, because only natural forage or crop stems and leaves are fed, the growth is not very fast, and the breeding cycle is long. Generally, it takes more than three years to feed, which can grow to more than 4 kilograms, and more than five years to reach 6 to 10 kilograms. In 1981, Xiao Feng, Deputy Director of the State Fisheries Administration, personally went to Bobaina Forest to inspect the cultivation of grass carp in mountainous areas and proposed that fish farming in mountainous areas should learn from Nalin. CCTV, Guangxi Daily, Yulin Daily and other media outlets at all levels have also extensively reported on Nalin fish. The book "Bobai Daguan" published by Guangxi People's Publishing House in 2010 provides a detailed record of the history, geographical location, breeding methods, quality, and other aspects of Nalin fish. Nowadays, Nalin fish has already sold well in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Nanning, Shanghai and other places. Local villagers use oxygen bags for long-distance transportation, and the more it is sold, the farther it is, and it is well-known throughout the country
