First batch of Chongming's "zero-carbon crabs" set to hit the market this year
In August, on the western end of Chongming Island, rows of dark photovoltaic panels are neatly spread across the continuous water surface of Lvhua Town. Beneath the water, Chinese mitten crabs are undergoing their third molting of the year. After years of cultivation, this year's clear water crab farming has achieved full carbon neutrality throughout the entire process, earning the title of "zero-carbon crabs." They are expected to arrive on dining tables within a little over a month.
