CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can eels be raised in a 10-square-meter cement pool?

Can eels be raised in a 10-square-meter cement pool?

A 10 square meter cement pond can be used to raise eels. But it can only be considered as an experiment to accumulate experience. A 1 square meter pond can raise 5-10 kilograms of eels. They are caught by themselves, and the big ones are sold after they are raised, and the small ones are thrown into the pond.

There are three major points to note.

First, since you rarely change the water, it’s best to use a faucet on the pool.

Second, there are several diseases that can cause mass deaths and spread quickly.

Third, it is difficult to get food sources. Earthworms and snails are prone to infectious bacteria. Animal viscera are too polluted. If you do it on a certain scale and invest enough in environmental conditions and equipment, it is not a big problem.

Eel belongs to the order Synbranchidae, family Synbranchidae, genus Monopterus. It is also called yellow eel, eel, Luo eel, snake fish, blood eel, Chang fish, and long fish (in northern Jiangsu). It is a general term for about 15 species of slender eel-shaped fish in the order Synbranchidae. There are two types of eels distributed in my country, one is the common yellow eel, and the other is the mountain yellow eel, which are distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Chongqing, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Henan and other places.

Eel is commonly known as yellow eel, belonging to the class Pisces, order Synbranchidae, family Synbranchinae, subfamily Monopterinae. It is a kind of fish, with a body like a snake, but without scales, and has two colors of skin, green or yellow, and the big ones are two to three feet long. They live in mud caves and cracks in rocks near the water, coming out in summer and hiding in caves in November and December.

Yes, it can only be considered as an experiment to accumulate experience. I raised 5-10 kilograms of fish in a one-square-meter pond. I caught them myself, sold the big ones, and threw the small ones into the pond. They are still there now, covered with straw. However, I went to work before winter and didn't take care of them, and one or two kilograms of fish died. There are three major points to note. First, it is rare to change the water, so you'd better connect a faucet to the pond. Second, there are several diseases that can cause mass deaths, and the infection is very fast. Third, the food source is difficult to get. Earthworms and snails are easily infected with bacteria. Animal viscera are too polluted. If you do it on a certain scale and invest enough in environmental conditions and equipment, it will not be a big problem.

If it is not ideal for indoor breeding, I advise you to forget it. If it is outdoor, you can try to breed it. Just consider it as accumulating breeding experience. I think there are several key points in breeding yellow eels: First, the eel seedlings, it is best to catch them with cages, followed by hand-catching, electric catching can be used depending on the vitality, and those caught with medicine cannot be raised; second, the water source, it is best to use unpolluted natural water, if there is no condition, you can also use well water or tap water, but it must be dried for more than three days to increase oxygen and remove toxins; third, the food source, mainly local relatively cheap meat (need to be disinfected and insecticidal), mixed into compound feed, and trained to eat it. Fourth, pests and diseases, wild eels must be sterilized and insecticidal before stocking, and special attention should be paid to water quality and food management, which can effectively prevent pests and diseases.

As long as the depth is enough, 10 square meters is fine.

I want to build a cement pond to breed eels. How deep should it be?

Generally, the depth of the cement pool used for soilless aquaculture is 50-70 cm. If it is soil aquaculture, the depth of the pool should be deepened by about 20 cm.

I also learned it from "Zeng Shuangming's eel breeding technology". You can search it on Baidu. I hope it will be useful to you.
