Will the eel die if I buy it and put it in water? Is the eel a marine fish or a freshwater fish?

After you bring an eel home, it can usually survive for about 7 days, and then it may die due to poor water quality. When handling eels, you can first insert an ice pick into the eel's head, then use the back of a knife to hit the ice pick to fix it on the chopping board, then use a knife to cut the eel's belly from bottom to top, take out the internal organs, then use the knife to insert along the edge of the eel's spine to separate the body from the spine, and finally insert the knife into the gap between the eel's spine and the back to completely cut it off. After separating the bones and meat, you can wash the eel meat with clean water and use it as needed when cooking.

2. Is eel a marine fish or a freshwater fish?

1. Eels are both marine fish and freshwater fish. They usually grow in freshwater rivers and migrate to the ocean to lay eggs when they mature. They can only lay eggs once in their lifetime and will die after laying eggs.

2. Eels are mainly distributed in the Yangtze River, Pearl River, Minjiang River and other water systems in my country, as well as in Hainan Island and other rivers and lakes in Taiwan. Eels like to live in clean, unpolluted waters, and in order to adapt to the living environment, they will change their body shape at different stages.

3. Eels have six growth stages, namely the egg stage, leaf eel, glass eel, eel line, yellow eel and silver eel. Since they lay eggs in the ocean, it is impossible to directly obtain their eggs for hatching and breeding. Instead, they are caught by eel lines on the coast near the estuary and then sold to farmers for artificial breeding.

Conger eel is an economic fish. What kind of feed is generally used to feed farmed conger eels?

Eel is a fish that looks like a snake. It has the basic characteristics of a fish, but it has no scales on its body. Generally speaking, eels live in the sea where freshwater meets saltwater. This unique living environment must have made eels have a high nutritional value. There are many names for eels, such as white eel, white eel, river eel, etc. Eels look similar to snakes, but they have no scales. They belong to the family Anguilliformes of the order Anguilliformes and are generally found in the sea where freshwater meets saltwater. I only know that fish are raised in rice fields because the water is shallow, so crucian carp and other freshwater fish that are easy to survive are chosen. Raising grass carp is afraid that it will eat the rice, which is not worth the loss. As for eels, I think they cannot be raised in such shallow water, and the conditions are not mature.

Eel, alias: white eel, white eel, river eel, eel, green eel, wind bun, Japanese eel. Eel refers to the general term for species under the Anguilla order. Also known as eel, it is a fish that looks like a long snake and has the basic characteristics of fish. The earthen pond for breeding eels requires ventilation and sunshine, sufficient water source, and the area should not be too large. Plant water lilies or water peanuts with a width of 0.8 to 1 meter around the earthen pond, and use fences or mesh to fence it, which can prevent eels from escaping and provide shade, which is conducive to their growth.

It is not suitable for eels, but suitable for carp, grass carp, non-carp, crucian carp, catfish, loach, etc. The water in the idle fields in winter is deep, and silver carp and bighead carp can also be raised. It can be raised alone or in a mixed culture. Generally, the water in rice fields is shallow, and it is not advisable to raise too many species when raising them together. Carp or grass carp are the main species. Eels are both marine fish and freshwater fish. They usually grow in freshwater rivers, and when they mature, they will swim to the ocean to lay eggs. They can only lay eggs once in their lifetime, and they will die after laying eggs. Its growth and development will go through six different stages.

Generally, about 7,000 50-gram conger eels can be stocked per mu of pond, and a small amount of filter-feeding or bottom-dwelling omnivorous fish such as silver carp, bighead carp, carp, crucian carp, etc. can be appropriately raised. This can not only achieve the purpose of keeping the water fresh, but also improve the production efficiency per unit area of ​​the eel pond.

It mainly relies on special compound feed containing liters of vitamins, which are sold on the market. In addition, every 50 kilograms needs to be supplemented with 50 to 60 grams of vitamin B, so as to ensure the healthy growth of the conger eel.

Generally, small earthworms are used because these earthworms are very nutritious, which are very popular with eels and can help them grow quickly.

To breed this kind of fish, you need to rely on special feed to feed it, so that it can better supplement the nutritional needs and grow better.

Fish meal, shrimp meal, corn meal, flour, soybean meal, these foods are all used to feed conger eels.
