In the arid deserts and rugged mountains of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, salmon farming is flourishing despite the region's landlocked status. Xinjiang boasts over three million hectares of natural water bodies, including a glacier-fed reservoir in Nilka County, where salmon thrive in waters that maintain a year-round temperature of about 12 degrees Celsius. The industry benefits from advanced technologies like floating cages and automated feeding systems.
