CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much money can be earned per acre under the conditions of yellow croaker farming (profit and risk of yellow croaker farming?)

1. Yellow croaker breeding technology and cost

Pond conditions: water depth of more than 1.5m, area of ​​about 3-5 mu, need to be disinfected with limestone before stocking. Stocking density: determined by the length of the fish species, generally about 2,000 per mu. Feeding: small fish, earthworms and other animal feeds can be fed, combined with artificial feeds such as fish meal and vegetable cakes. Daily management: keep the water clean, high-density breeding requires the addition of an aerator. Breeding cost: the cost of breeding one mu of yellow bone fish for one year is about 25,000 yuan.

The breeding technology of yellow bone fish:

1. Pond conditions

(1) The cultivation of adult yellow croaker has certain requirements for the pond, and the water depth in the pond must be above 1.5 meters.

(2) Ensure that the pond area is between 3 and 5 mu, and it is best if the pond has a sandy bottom.

(3) The pond should be easily accessible for irrigation and drainage and have sufficient water.

(4) It is important to clean and disinfect the pond with quicklime before stocking the fish.

2. Fish stocking density

Yellow bone croaker can be raised together with other fish. When raising them together, you should try to choose larger yellow bone croakers, about 10 cm in size.

The yellow croaker with a size of 2-3cm is released at 1800-2500 per acre.

The yellow croaker with a size of 4-5cm is released at 1500-1800 per acre.

3. Feeding and management

(1) Generally, pure animal feed such as small fish, shrimps, earthworms, etc. can be used.

(2) Compound feed can be used. The feed has certain requirements for protein, fat and vitamins.

(3) Since yellowbone croaker is an omnivorous fish that is mainly carnivorous, it has high requirements for the protein content and quality of the feed, generally requiring a protein content of 38%-40%.

(4) Artificial feed can be directly fed to domesticated seedlings. The artificial feed needs to include fish meal, vegetable cake, bean cake, second flour, rice bran, and additives that attract and promote growth. It also needs to follow a formula with a fixed time, fixed quantity, fixed location, and fixed quality.

4. Daily management

(1) The pond water for breeding yellow croaker needs to be clean water and its transparency should be maintained at 35-40 cm.

(2) Since yellow croaker’s tolerance to low oxygen is lower than that of conventional fish, if the stocking density in the pond is high, an aerator should be installed to prevent it from floating due to lack of oxygen.

(3) Yellow croaker likes clean water and should be regularly refilled with fresh water.

(4) The water in the yellow croaker pond should not be too alkaline, and the amount of quicklime used for disease prevention should not exceed 20 grams per square meter.

5. Fish disease prevention and control

(1) If the water quality is good and the feed is sufficient, the yellow croaker will grow rapidly, have a good physique, and be less susceptible to disease. It also has a certain inhibitory and elimination effect on some crustacean parasites.

(2) Yellow croaker not only has good disease resistance, it can also eliminate the anchor disease that other fish are susceptible to.

(3) During the breeding process, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that yellow croaker is sensitive to pesticides such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and cypermethrin. Therefore, it is not advisable to use such pesticides in ponds where yellow croaker is raised.

The cost of breeding yellow bone fish:

1. Fish fry: 0.3 yuan/fish. About 5,000 fish can be raised per acre, totaling: 1,500 yuan.

2. Water surface rental: 600 yuan/mu/year.

3. The bait includes small fish, shrimp, snail meat, etc.: 1.5 yuan/kg, the average bait coefficient is 30, and the bait cost per kilogram of weight gain is 45 yuan. If you choose to feed with compound feed, the unit price is 7 yuan/kg, and the feed coefficient is about 1.3. If you calculate based on 3,000 kilograms of fish per mu, it will cost about 22,000 yuan.

Yellowbone fish farming technology and cost

4. The main medicine is quicklime, which needs to be used once every half a month. 30 kilograms are needed per mu. If the breeding period is 7 months, it will cost about 210 yuan.

5. The cost of labor, water, electricity, transportation, etc. is about 1,000 yuan per mu.

To sum up, breeding yellow bone croaker requires investments such as water surface rental, yellow bone croaker fry, bait, feed, medicine, and labor. If the cost is calculated for one acre per year, it will be approximately 25,310 yuan per acre.

2. How much profit can you make from raising yellow croaker per acre?

The profit per acre is about 10,000 yuan.

The profit of breeding yellow croaker is calculated based on the cost of 9 yuan per catty for yellow croaker of 5-6 liang in size. It can produce 4000-5000 catties per mu. After deducting the cost, the profit per mu can reach about 10,000 yuan.

3. Profit and cost of raising yellow croaker in ponds

The input costs of yellow croaker farming include: pond rental, fry costs, and bait costs.

①Pond rental, this is the first cost we need to invest in raising yellow bone fish. In rural areas, the rental is relatively cheap, and the rental of one mu of pond is about 500 yuan. If it is in the city, the rent of the fish pond can be 800/mu. If you have your own pond, then the investment cost can be saved.

②Fish fry cost. The "Yuannong No. 10" yellow croaker is a fish that can adapt to the environment and can be farmed at a high density. About 30,000 fish can be raised in one acre of pond. At present, the price of yellow croaker fry, such as the size of a thumb, is about 0.2 yuan per fish, so one acre costs about 6,000 yuan.

③ Feed cost. Yellow croaker is a carnivorous fish that sometimes eats everything. The hybrid variety "Yuannong No. 10" yellow croaker developed and cultivated by the Fisheries College of Huazhong Agricultural University is highly adaptable to the environment and has strong disease resistance. Feeding bait is mainly based on feed, which is very easy to breed. The comprehensive feed cost of breeding one acre of yellow croaker is about 15,000 yuan.

4. One-year profit of raising yellow croaker in a 10-mu fish pond

If you raise bone fish in a ten-acre fish pond, you can make a profit of about 300,000 yuan a year.

The cost of bone fish includes pond rental, fish fry and bait. Generally speaking, the rental of a pond is about 1,200 yuan per mu; one mu of pond requires about 20,000 yellow bone fish, and the market price of yellow bone fish is about 0.3 yuan per fish, so the cost of fish fry is about 6,000 yuan; the cost of yellow bone fish bait is generally about 30,000 yuan. After adding the three costs together, the cost of raising one mu of yellow bone fish is about 36,000 yuan.

Profit: The main product of yellow croaker farming is adult fish. The farming cycle is about 12 to 13 months. The total cost of farming in the first year is about 13,500 yuan. It can produce about 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms of commercial yellow croaker. The wholesale price of commercial yellow croaker is about 8 to 12 yuan per kilogram.

The total income per acre is about 30,000 yuan. Excluding the cost, raising one acre of yellow croaker can earn about 16,500 yuan in the first year and about 22,000 yuan in the second year. On the premise of complete supporting facilities, one person can manage 10 to 15 acres of yellow croaker.
