National Innovation Agency (Public Organization) or NIA supports a closed system project for breeding and raising white leech larvae on land in a complete manner. Under the open innovation project for Pracharat Rak Samakkhi Trang Company (Social Enterprise) The project aims to increase the amount of white leeches, which are currently decreasing in the Trang Sea and nearby areas. Ready to restore balance to the coastal ecosystem. and create sustainable income for local fishermen. The decrease in the quantity of white leeches is mainly due to the uncontrolled collection of white leeches for sale. Especially in foreign groups where there is a large demand for white leeches at a price of 2500 baht/kilogram, with purchases of more than 100,000 tons/year, including a lack of knowledge and appropriate methods for breeding - propagating and Conservation from people in the community is not enough.
Mr. Wichian Suksoi, Deputy Director of Economic and Social Affairs National Innovation Industry Email List Agency (Public Organization) revealed that at present the amount of white leeches, which is an important fishery resource in Satun, Phang Nga, Ranong and Trang provinces, has continuously decreased until it is in a critical state. Affecting fishermen in the area It was found that the amount caught had decreased by approximately 90% compared to the past. The main reason for the decline of white leeches Caused by the uncontrolled collection of white leeches for sale. Especially in foreign groups that have a large demand for white leeches, such as China, Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Estimated since 2017, the domestic and international markets will buy 100,000 tons/year, which is the current trading price of white leeches. 1 kilogram will be priced at 2,500 baht. This is a factor that makes white leeches very popular abroad. This is because the protein in sea cucumber meat contains mucoproteins that contain Chondroitin sulfuric acid, which is an important component of various parts of cartilage, ligaments, and the fluid that lubricates various joints.
And there is also a belief that it can cure certain diseases and increase sexual performance in Chinese medicine. which also found an important cause Most fishermen do not preserve white leeches and do not have a suitable method for breeding them to breed. Therefore causing the quantity to decrease rapidly. Mr. Wichian added that To solve this crisis, the NIA recently approved a closed system project for the one-stop breeding and rearing of terrestrial white leech larvae. Under the Open Innovation project with a grant of 1,135,000 baht together with investment from the company of 945,000 baht, total project budget of 2,080,000 baht for Pracharat Rak Samakkhi Trang Company. (Social Enterprise) Co., Ltd., Koh Libong Subdistrict, Kantang District, Trang Province. It is the development of an innovative closed system for breeding and raising white leech larvae on land in a complete manner. By simulating the natural environment to stimulate the mating of white leech parents. They determine factors to stimulate mating, namely water salinity, temperature, light, food, and the lunar cycle. This affects the breeding rate of the parents. and a culture system in land-based farms to increase the efficiency of raising white leech larvae to have a growth opportunity of approximately 50% of the birth rate.
