What do yellow eel seedlings eat?

When feeding young eels, mix cooked egg yolk and soybean milk into a paste and spread it at the beginning of feeding. Then gradually feed them water fleas, silkworms, fly maggots, chopped earthworms, river clam meat, etc. Some people also believe that the best feed for eel fry is silkworms, followed by fly maggots. Young eels fed in this way grow strong. In the feeding process, animal bait is the main feed, but a certain proportion of plant bait should also be added continuously. Especially in the later stage of feeding, it is necessary to add a certain amount of bran, bean cake and dregs. In addition, new water should be injected frequently to prevent the parent eels from being infected by bacteria. Stop feeding for one day before spawning.

Classification of young eels After careful feeding, young eels can grow into eels weighing more than 20 grams in the same year. When young eels are 3-4 cm, they need to be cultured in separate ponds. The cleaning method of eel ponds is the same as that of eel fry ponds. They are stocked at the end of March and the beginning of April every year, and the density depends on the breeding conditions. The stocking amount ranges from 80 to 160 (1 to 2 kg) per square meter. They are required to be strong, without any injuries on the body surface, and of uniform size. Before stocking, eel fry are disinfected with 3% to 5% salt. The breeding method of young eels is the same as that of adult eels.
