CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What conditions are needed for eel farming?

What conditions are required for eel farming?

1. Farm requirements. The selection of breeding sites is the most important condition for eel farming. If there is no suitable farm, it is difficult to breed eels. The eel breeding site generally requires a specification of about 50 acres. The Zaoshi Farm must be equipped with a water injection system, a drainage system, a heating and cooling system, an aerator, etc., and the eel pond must also be planned.

2. Water quality requirements. Eel farming has very high requirements for water quality. The water quality is preferably slightly acidic, so that the productivity of eels is stronger. In addition, the content of calcium, nitrate, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and iron in the water must be reasonable, otherwise it will affect the normal growth of eels.

3. Feed requirements. Eel farming feed is mainly carnivorous fish. If the bait is not selected properly during farming, it will lead to farming failure. Generally, we need to have sufficient earthworms or small insects and small fish such as Lubi powder feed. Secondly, you can use artificially farmed fresh fish to grind it through a meat grinder and feed it.

Freshwater eel farming conditions and how long is the farming cycle?

answer

1. Pond selection: The pond should be built in a place with high terrain and convenient drainage. A net cover should be placed at the drainage hole to prevent the eels from escaping. The fish pond should be built in a circular or oval shape, with drainage holes and water injection holes arranged crosswise. 2. Disinfection: Disinfect healthy eel fry with no signs of disease before putting them in. 3. Provide food: Feed earthworms, snails and other foods. 4. Winter management: After the temperature drops to 10°C, stop feeding and maintain a certain water penetration depth.

1. Freshwater eel farming conditions

1. Pond selection

Build the pond in a high place with convenient drainage, and cover the drainage holes with a net to prevent eels from escaping. The eel pond should be built in a circular or oval shape, with drainage holes and water injection holes arranged crosswise.

2. Disinfection

Healthy eel fry that show no signs of disease are disinfected by placing them in a container with a sterilizing agent (such as methylene blue or salt), waiting for 15 minutes, and then taking them out and putting them into the pond.

3. Provide food

Eels are carnivores that feed on aquatic insects, fish, shrimps and other animals. During the breeding process, they can be fed with fresh earthworms, sword water fleas, snails, animal offal and other foods. It should be noted that spoiled food should not be fed to prevent the eels from growing poorly.

4. Winter management

When the temperature drops to 10°C in winter, stop providing food and keep the water depth at about 2 meters to allow the eels to survive the winter. When the water surface freezes, break the ice to prevent the eels from dying of lack of oxygen.

2. How long is the breeding cycle of freshwater eels?

1. Generally speaking, the breeding cycle of freshwater eels is about 1-2 years (eels grow in freshwater for 1 year, usually grow to about 15 cm and weigh about 5 grams by the spring of the following year), but due to the influence of breeding methods, breeding environment and other factors, the specific breeding cycle may vary.

2. Eels are ferocious, greedy and active. They like to live in flowing waters. They are phototactic and usually hide during the day and come out at night. When the water temperature is above 12°C, eels will start to eat. White eels mainly feed on plankton, aquatic insects, organic debris and other foods. Eels weighing more than 5 grams can prey on fry, and eels weighing 100 grams can prey on small fish and shrimp. Adult eels mainly feed on animal baits, and can be fed with compound feeds when raised artificially.
