1. The pond conditions should have sufficient water supply, convenient water inlet and outlet, good water quality and no pollution. Clay, sandy or sub-sandy soil should be selected with good aeration, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of aquatic plants and benthic insects, snails, clams, earthworms, etc. Old ponds should be thoroughly dredged, and the silt should not exceed 20cm. The pond area should not be too small.

2. Transplanting aquatic plants. In addition to providing crabs with food and vitamin supplements, aquatic plants can also feed crabs and help them fight and hide. It is an effective measure to increase the survival rate of river crabs in various periods. In addition, they can absorb harmful ammonia nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and organic matter in the pond, release oxygen, and stabilize water quality.

3. Anti-escape facilities are mostly made of plastic films, but also cement boards, depending on the respective circumstances.

4. Pond cleaning and disinfection: Generally, ponds should be cleaned and disinfected with quicklime half a month before stocking, with a dosage of 75 kg per mu.

After the water is added, fertilizer should be applied in time, algae and basic bait should be cultivated, and the transparency should generally be maintained at 40-50cm. If tadpoles or frog eggs are found, they should be removed in time to avoid competing for food and harming the young crabs.

5. When purchasing crab seedlings, it is best to choose crab seedlings produced in the Yangtze River system. They should be of uniform size, have complete legs, be strong, crawl actively, and be free of injuries and diseases.
