Sustainable seafood and integrated fish farming in China
The story is about 'Integrated Fish Farming', using traditional methods that have been adapted to modern circumstances, and opportunities to apply these as a low ecological footprint fish farming model. It shows two families: The Ma family farms fish and works with other families that farm silkworms, while the Wang family farms both fish and silkworms themselves and then sells the raw silk for production of finished silk products in the village. Both families live and work in a village in China where the fish/silkworm cycle is the typical fish-farming practice, and where fish and silk are the major cash products. The cycle works like this: silkworms are fed on leaves of the mulberry tree which grows around fish ponds. The waste from Mulberry and silk worms provides some feed for the fish and the Fish waste fertilises the dykes and the mulberry - creating an integrated farm ecosystem with a low ecological footprint. This type of system is widely used in China, and the sum total of carp production on farms like this is more than 10 million tons per year, which is more than the total amount of fish produced by any other nation.

You live in Korea?! I speak Cantonese?! I said Japan's history was longer then Vietnam's?! Is this some kind of joke?! Look, quit acting like some kind of genius cause you are talking like nothing more then a PURE idiot, first of all trying to tell who someone is isn't going to make you sound right, second of all I never said "Japan had a longer history then Vietnam". Third, of all just because a country wears a conical Asian hat in there HISTORY doesn't mean they have to be using one right now.
-
Dude, ok first of all I'm Asian, ask before you talk with your dick mouth. Second of all what are you try to show me? Third of all, why are you trying to fight back when you don't even have good enough proof, you know damn well that countries such as Korea, China, Japan, Cambodia, and Philippines all use these types of hats, it's called "Conical Asian hat", why don't you try searching that before so YOU bark, dumbass.
-
Now hold it right there, encase you didn't notice, you have not idea how many countries use that type of hat, the Chinese and Japanese have been using those LONG before Vietnam was even discovered as a country.
-
That's the most ridiculous thing I ever saw. These hats are all over East Asia. The Japanese also wear them, and there are such hats made a few hundred years ago on display in Japanese museums.
