At the symposium, Prof. Gu Zemao, President of “Shuangshui Shuanglv” Research Institute, reported on the advance in the research of crayfish breeding and “Shuangshui Shuanglv” (an agricultural development model by breeding green aquatic products in green rice field). Then Prof. Zhang Qifa, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, put forward suggestions on concept and brand design of “Shuangshui Shuanglv”. After that, President Li Zhaohu spoke highly of the innovative “Chain Chief System”, where officials at different levels are assigned responsibility for the governance of specific industry chains. Under this great system, HZAU will leverage its discipline advantages to promote local economy. Besides, Li underscored the role that basic research plays in improving efficiency and quality of crayfish industry.

Given the substantial contribution HZAU has made to economic progress in Hubei Province, Wang Ling said that she owes heartfelt gratitude to HZAU. According to her, “Shuangshui Shuanglv”, as an innovative and efficient breeding model, should be applied into the green development initiative of the Yangtze River Economic Belt because Jianghan Plain is the key to food security of Hubei Province and even the whole China. The Standing Committee of HPPC will make huge efforts to handle problems raised by scholars and pool their strengths, maximizing the synergy of them so as to provide quality services.
