The official side of Kuaishou gave Zhang Yang 200,000 yuan for the competition venue preparation, and Zhang Yang spent all of it on fish.
The fish he stocked were pretty ordinary, mainly to increase the fish population density in the reservoir, so this year's cheap golden crucian carp became the primary choice.
The golden crucian carp has been mentioned before; it's a triploid fish breed artificially created by hybridizing carp and crucian carp, also known as "carp" or "mule," with advantages like strength in water, durability, and resistance to disease.
Zhang Yang had the fish brought in under the direct supervision of the master team leader from the original production site, acquiring nearly 20,000 pounds of golden crucian carp. Assuming each fish weighs eight to nine ounces, and larger ones over a pound, just the golden crucian carp alone increased the reservoir's density by twenty or thirty thousand fish.
