CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can eels be raised indoors?

Eels can be raised indoors, but not for long periods of time.

Eels prefer dark places to grow and do not like to grow in a lighted environment, so feeding should be based on this characteristic. The feeding time is suitable at 5 am and 8 pm. Normally, they need to be fed twice a day, but it is cold in winter and the water temperature will drop, so the eel's food intake will decrease. At this time, only one feeding per day is needed, and the feeding time is set in the evening. The amount of feed to be fed should be determined according to the size of the eel and other factors. The time of each feeding should be unified and the feeding location should be fixed. If the time and location are not fixed, the eel will not be able to find food, which will affect its growth. Finally, pay attention to the quality of the feed, and do not feed with problematic feed.

This is all I have to say about the methods of eel farming. During the farming process, you should always observe the growth of the eels, as well as issues such as temperature, weather, and water quality. If you discover any problems, you should deal with them in a timely manner so that you can better farm them.

Greenhouse water stop

This breeding method is matched with open-air ponds. A steel frame is built above the breeding pond, covered with plastic tiles or films, and heating measures are taken to keep the pond water at around 25°C. The specifications and stocking density of eel ponds at all levels, as well as the feeding and management methods are basically the same as those of open-air pond breeding. The eel fry can be divided into ponds after about one month of breeding, and the survival rate is about 80%. The eel fry released in late February can be raised for 120 to 150 days and can grow into eel seeds of 3 to 5 grams. By the end of the year, they can grow into eel seeds of about 50 grams, and 20 to 30% of the eel seeds can be grown into edible eels for the market.

Open-air water-stopping

Open-air water-stopping aquaculture is the main aquaculture method in China. The scale of the eel farm is preferably 50 mu. The aquaculture facilities mainly include eel ponds, injection and drainage systems and ancillary facilities. Rivers, lakes, reservoirs and groundwater are used as water sources. Generally, only 1/10 to 1/7 of the pond water is exchanged every day. It mainly relies on floating blue algae and water wheels or aerators to increase oxygen to improve water quality. Its advantages are low pond construction costs and low power consumption. The disadvantage is low yield, generally only 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms per mu.

Eel fry cannot be bred artificially, mainly because the growth habits of eels are very special and difficult to simulate in an artificial environment. For example, Japanese eels grow up in freshwater rivers and begin to migrate to the sea in the summer, that is, swim from rivers to the ocean to lay eggs, which is exactly the opposite of the upstream migration of trout and salmon from the ocean back to the river to lay eggs. Its spawning ground is thousands of kilometers away in the deep sea between the Philippines and the Malay Islands.

Selected list of indoor farming of eels

Indoor eel farming

Finally, we must also comprehensively consider factors such as soil quality, topography, climate, transportation, power supply, seedling resources and living conditions to better design the eel breeding tasks, production scale, breeding methods and long-term development plans.

Eel farming technology

The most suitable growth period for eels is that the eel fry are cultured in a greenhouse constant temperature room equipped with a boiler and a temperature of 28°C in the early stage. The water temperature is constant in early June.

White eel farming technology. How to increase the success rate?

Eel feed was fed once a day, with the feeding amount being 1-2% of the total body weight of the eels.

Which animal is the most valuable to raise in half a farm?

Yes, building a breeding pond indoors is the same as building an outdoor pond. The biggest difference between the two is the temperature. When breeding eels indoors, we must control the indoor temperature. The most suitable temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. The advantages of this breeding method are: the growth cycle of eels will be shortened, and the survival rate of eel fry will be significantly improved.
