I have crabs and live shrimps, but I can't sell them. What should I do?

If you have crabs and live shrimps, you can consider selling them at the market, and if the price is right, they will sell quickly. Let's take a look at how to sell crabs quickly.

To make crabs of higher quality, more suitable for consumers and sell at a better price, the following three points must be achieved:

1. Good appearance: "green back, white belly, golden claws, yellow hair";

2. Large weight: For river crabs of the same size, the heavier the weight, the higher the price, because the larger the size, the higher the price;

3. Good taste: The hairy crab should have a sweet taste, with fat and meat.

So how can we achieve the above points?

1. First of all, we must ensure the appearance and body surface of the crab are clean and tidy, and reduce the number of crabs with black bottom and rusty bottom. To achieve this, pond bottom improvement is essential. If the crab already has a black bottom, we should use a full-effect bottom improvement tablet or a super bottom cleaner. Using it 2 to 3 times in a row within 10 days can alleviate the black bottom situation of the crab. If there is no black bottom on the crab in the pond, it can also be used 1 to 2 times for prevention and control.

2. When there are still many crabs in the ponds that have not yet been put on the market and some of them are insufficient in weight, we can feed them ice fish, which can increase the speed at which the crabs grow meat. In addition, feeding stale or spoiled ice fish may cause enteritis, affect the crabs' appetite, and cause a decrease in food intake. At this time, we need to feed the ice fish with methionine iodine and soak it in an appropriate amount of water to reduce harmful bacteria, prevent enteritis, and increase the digestion and utilization rate of the crabs, so that the crabs can grow meat faster and increase the weight to meet the specifications.

3. As for the paste and yellow, it is recommended to add corn to the ice fish later. Adding corn can make the yellow color of the crab more attractive and taste better, but corn is a coarse grain, and digesting corn puts a heavy burden on the crab's liver. Therefore, soak the corn for a day before feeding it, and then use Liver and Gallbladder Taylor and Life Yuan to promote liver and gallbladder protection, so that the crab can digest it better, thereby improving the taste of the crab.

Is there any large-scale river shrimp farming in Shaoxing?

Yes. Shaoxing is a prefecture-level city in Zhejiang Province. As of March 14, 2023, there are major companies outside the city that contract land for large-scale river shrimp farming. Therefore, there are river shrimps. River shrimps are widely distributed in China's rivers, lakes, reservoirs and ponds, and are high-quality freshwater shrimps.
