东漳乡地处中牟县城北部，水面面积1387公顷，水面利用率达到70％。近几年来，全乡大力调整优化产业结构，打破以往单一的养殖模式，走“名、优、特、新”的路子，在调整淡水鱼养殖结构的同时，大力发展高附加值的水产养殖业，重点发展以雁鸣湖大闸蟹为主的特种水产养殖。
      
    大闸蟹养殖，立足于雁鸣湖水草资源丰富的优势，采用了天然放养的方式，走无公害标准化生产模式，因蟹肥、味美、肉嫩，在举办的雁鸣湖大闸蟹美食节上，受到了广大食客的青睐，创出了“雁鸣湖大闸蟹”这一名优品牌。
      
    由于“雁鸣湖大闸蟹”商标的注册，群众的养殖积极性不断高涨，同时东漳乡党委积极为养殖户排忧解难，在资金、技术、料物等方面为群众提供了服务。目前，大闸蟹养殖面积已达8600亩，其中天然放养的有8000亩，稻田养蟹6000亩，年产大闸蟹41万公斤。
      
    另外，东漳乡已规划建立中牟县东漳乡雁鸣湖大闸蟹养殖基地，占地500亩，总投资125万元。该项目真正立足于生态环境保护，遵循经济发展规律，有选择、有重点、有目的培育良种和技术推广，坚持以市场为导向，以大力发展水产养殖为主题，实现高效农业集约化经营为目的。项目建成后，一方面扩大了雁鸣湖生态景区的面积，扩大了鸟类栖息的场所，另一方面示范带动了万亩养殖基地规模发展集约化经营，让城市居民一年四季都能吃到新鲜的雁鸣湖大闸蟹。
