Weekend Manager – become National Agenda It has completed the “black catfish crisis” sweeping the country, “because they can live in both fresh water and salt water, are tolerant to high salinity, and can reproduce when they are only three months old. In addition, year-round All have eggs and produce large numbers of fry. It was considered a catastrophic disaster of great concern. Is there any way to eliminate this alien species?
Measures that emerged include hunting around various water sources. All capture the predatory fish using normal methods or use electroshocks to release predatory fish to help eliminate them. Once purchased, it can be processed into a variety of products, such as fish meal for animal feed. The Rubber Authority of Thailand (RAOT) purchased it with a budget of 50 million baht to make compost. and Biofermentation, Department of Corrections announced the purchase of the product to provide inmate food. Or invent various food menus to encourage hunting, etc.
However, there are still no clues as to how to eradicate the Thai blackchin fish.
However, the most controversial issue is “WHO” This is the root cause of this outbreak. Of course, the one agency that fully recognizes this is the “Ministry of Fisheries”, as it has full responsibility. But it does not bring clarity to society in any way.
However, when I looked back, I found that there was an import approval. “Black Chin Cichlid” It first entered Thailand 18 years ago, in 2006, when a well-known agricultural company applied for import. The Diversity and Biosecurity Committee (IBC) of the Ministry of Fisheries and meetings of such committees decided to allow imports from the African Republic of Ghana to improve tilapia species.
Four years later, in late 2010, the company imported 2,000 cichlids, and within three weeks nearly all of them were dead, limed and notified.
However, another two years passed, in 2012, when farmers in Isan Subdistrict, Amphawa District, Samut Songkhram Province first discovered an outbreak of black-jawed cichlids. Expansion to many other provinces is currently underway as shown in the news currently.
The question that must be examined is whether it was illegally imported from “other sources”? Because after checking the information, it was found that no one except large agricultural companies had applied for an import license. However, as many as 11 companies have applied for licenses to export black chin fish. Between 2013 and 2016, they sold and exported a total of more than 230,000 fish to 17 countries.
This is a very important question because there is a possibility that they may have been introduced illegally and the parents may have escaped into natural water sources.
For companies exporting blackchin fish, these 11 companies include:
1-Changxin Enterprise Limited Partnership, 162,000 units.
2 – Seafood Import and Export Limited Partnership, 30,000 pieces
Third place – New variety company, 29,000 pieces
Fourth place – P.&P Aquarium World Trading Company, 3,638 pieces
Five-Tai Qian House Company, 2,900 units
The remaining six companies are Advance Aquatic Co., Ltd., Asia Aquatics Co., Ltd., Khao Bear Co., Ltd., V Aquarium Co., Ltd., Siam Orna Menthol Co., Ltd. Fish and Samittra Aquarium Limited partners have export sales of 100-900 fish.
Even more weird and wonderful is the Fisheries Minister “Mr. Bancha Sukkaew”. A message was sent back to the subcommittee stating that inspections of 11 export companies revealed that their export documents stated that the scientific name of the fish they exported was Sarotherodon melanotheron, and its common name was Blackchin tilapia. Its Thai name was: “Striped tilapia” fish”
At the same time, the Minister of Fisheries also said that it is very likely that the information of the boatman who issued the name was incorrect. “science” and name “normal“The cichlid fish’s side stripes are wrong?”
This is a story that cannot be laughed at and has become a question that requires seeking the truth. Is it possible, as the Minister of Fisheries said, that wrong names were entered for 4 consecutive years, and all 11 companies entered wrong names, but the Fisheries Department did not bother to check? This raises serious doubts about whether these 11 companies have unusual internal connections and relationships with someone from the Fisheries Department. Where do these 11 companies import the blackchin fish they export? Then importing and growing it locally, including how to ensure nothing escapes once the export ban is announced. Is it really sold out? And where did the parent fish go?
The most important thing is that in addition to black chinfish, there are other types of prohibited fish. Have you been through the same process or path? Because what happened left me with no confidence at all. It follows the law in a simple way.
The person who gave the answer and who is responsible for this is “Ministry of Fisheries
Addressing the greenfish outbreak has moved up the national agenda. Strengthen measure guidance and coordinate with various departments. When can the state’s task of suppressing black cheekfish be completed as soon as possible and concrete results be seen? Can the government stop the terror of alien species destroying Thailand’s aquatic ecosystem? Must be followed as the mission to eliminate black chin cichlids is causing “Huang Qin Government” It has passed.
