Some supermarkets in Beijing have not seen live fish for sale, and it is uncertain when they will be put on the shelves again.
A reporter from Zhongxin.com visited some supermarkets in Beijing on the 24th and found that Carrefour and Yonghui Supermarket near Liuliqiao in Fengtai District no longer sell live fish, only frozen fish and fresh food are available for selection.
"There are no live fish in the store. If you want to buy it, you can only go to the opposite farmer’s market." A clerk at Yonghui Supermarket near Liuliqiao said.
In the aquatic product sales area of Yonghui Supermarket, the fish tank that originally contained live fish was empty, and there were no customers around. As for why live fish are not sold and when they can be put on the shelves again, the above-mentioned clerk said that he did not know. "It has been stopped for some time, and we have to wait for notice before putting them on the shelves."
In a Carrefour supermarket near Liuliqiao, the live fish area is also deserted. It is a little surprised to see a reporter coming to ask the clerk. "There are no live fish now," said the shop assistant. The reporter noticed that the shelf marked "hairy crabs" next to it was also empty.
However, the reporter found live fish for sale in a Wal-Mart supermarket in Haidian District. Live fish such as carp and grass carp are sold normally in the store. The live grass carp is 10.8 yuan per catty, and the live carp is 11 yuan per catty. The clerk said, "Live fish have been sold all the time, but the price has increased a little compared with last week."
According to a report by Beijing Youth Daily on the 24th, in Jingkelong Jinsong Store, the two kinds of live fish, perch and tilapia, are still on sale normally. In the past three months, grass carp and carp have indeed not been sold. The newspaper learned that some supermarkets have completely suspended the sale of live fish in order to "prevent and control risks". For example, it is difficult to find live fish in supermarkets such as Laiguangying Store in Auchan Supermarket, Wumei, Yonghui and Carrefour in Tongzhou District and Chaoyang District.
There are live fish in normal sales in farmers’ and wholesale markets.
The reporter found in a farmer’s market in Fengtai District at noon on the 24th that live fish are still on sale here, but the quantity is small. The owner of the fish stall said, "There is only one bass left, and 25 yuan weighs a kilo." The reporter found that there are not many live fish to sell in this fish stall, counting the dozens of crucian carp next to it.
According to media reports, live fish such as carp, grass carp and snakehead are sold normally in farmers’ markets and aquatic products markets. In Wangjing Street Convenience Market and Shuangjing Baihuan Vegetable Market, we can see that there are many kinds of live fish here, all of which are sold normally.
In the Beijing-Shenzhen seafood wholesale market, the reporter found that compared with a large number of shops selling seafood, there are fewer stores selling freshwater fish. A merchant selling freshwater fish told reporters that only crucian carp is on sale at present, and no other varieties are available. As of press time, the phone number of the Fisheries Department of Beijing-Shenzhen Seafood Market has not been answered.
Previously, the person in charge of Beijing Dahongmen Jingshen Seafood Wholesale Market Co., Ltd. said that Jingshen Seafood Wholesale Market supplies 30 tons of live fish every day, accounting for 30% of Beijing’s live fish supply, of which the supply of marine fish accounts for 70% of the city.

Unbelievable supermarkets caused by online pollution are said to be normal adjustments.
"The sales of live fish in Wal-Mart stores are normal, and there are no problems in the quality of suppliers and fish. Adjust the varieties on sale according to the season and sales plan." The relevant person in charge of Wal-Mart told reporters.
According to the information released by Weibo, the official of Beijing Food and Drug Administration, on the 23rd, the food safety manager of wu mart said that since May this year, major supermarket stores in Beijing have stopped selling fresh water live fish such as grass carp and perch, and changed to selling chilled fish that is more in line with the purchasing habits of supermarket consumers; At present, some supermarkets still intend to stop selling fresh water live fish, mainly because near the end of the year, supermarkets enter the period of supplier adjustment, and supermarkets adjust their varieties according to consumers’ buying habits and sales volume, which is a normal business behavior of enterprises.
In response to recent online rumors that a large number of fresh water live fish have been removed from the shelves due to water pollution in Beijing, the Beijing Food and Drug Administration said on the 23rd that in recent years, the pass rate of sampling inspection of aquatic products in Beijing has reached over 90%, and the rumors that water pollution and water pollution in Beijing have caused freshwater fish pollution are not credible.
