CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to keep squids?

1. How to raise squid well?

Is the author joking or is it true?

If this is a joke, then it must be very happy if you feed it ink as a snack.

If it is true, it seems that artificial breeding is difficult for individuals to do. Good luck~

2. How do tiger fish survive the winter?

It's very difficult! See its resistance

3. Can squid and cuttlefish be farmed artificially?

Squid and cuttlefish can be farmed.

Cuttlefish farming technology is an international problem. Artificial breeding of cuttlefish has only been successful in Ningbo, China since 2004. The breeding technology and scale still need to be improved.

Some artificially farmed squids can grow very large, and their meat is tender and delicious.

Plastic bottle farming:

Use wild young octopuses, place them in 500ml discarded beverage bottles with fine holes, seal the bottle mouths, hang them in series with ropes, and place them in the sea for natural hanging. Add buoys at appropriate intervals for better results. This method is simple, but the octopus grows slowly and is suitable for breeding in sea areas rich in plankton.

Cement pond aquaculture:

Eight cement pools of about 20 square meters and 80 centimeters deep were used. The bottom of the pool was covered with 20 to 30 centimeters thick sea mud (50 centimeters thick in the center of the pool), and settled seawater was injected. Octopus larvae of 10 to 50 grams (average about 40 grams) caught from the beach were put in. The fish were fed once a day in the afternoon with live crabs (2 to 6 grams each, average 300 crabs/kg) caught from the beach.

The indoor light is between 800 and 1000 LX. During the breeding process, the water is changed with settled seawater (100%) every day. As long as Xiangxiao pays attention to changing the water during the hot season, the octopus will generally not die. After about 6 months of careful breeding, the individual before catching generally reaches 50-100g (average about 70g). This method is simple and easy to implement, with low technical requirements, and is suitable for small-scale family breeding.

Purse seine farming:

Octopuses are farmed in a 3,000 square meter enclosure on the mid- and high-tide tidal flats. When the tide recedes, the octopuses hide in caves. However, the nets must be higher than the highest tide level to prevent them from escaping. This method is simple and low-cost, but it requires a large area of ​​​​digging and a lot of labor when harvesting.

Squid and cuttlefish can be farmed.

1. Artificially cultivated cuttlefish

Squid (commonly known as cuttlefish) is expensive in the market. Its meat is thick and delicious, and it has high nutritional and economic value. However, due to overfishing in recent years, natural resources have declined significantly.

The technology of artificially breeding cuttlefish is an international problem. It was not until 2004 that artificial breeding of cuttlefish was first successfully achieved in Ningbo, China. The breeding technology and scale still need to be improved.

2. Artificially farmed squid

Some artificially farmed squids can grow very large, with tender meat and big mouthfuls. Squid is a valuable seafood. The characteristics of changing the sex of squids are artificially controlled. From hatching to 10 months old, male squids can weigh up to 700 grams, while females only weigh 300 to 400 grams. Therefore, experts are exploring how to change most squids into males to significantly increase squid production.

The provincial aquatic seed project "Reproductive Regulation and Seedling Breeding Technology Development of Tiger-spotted Cuttlefish" and the provincial public welfare technology research agricultural project "Research on Reproductive Regulation and Seedling Breeding Technology of Pseudo-order Cuttlefish" have passed the acceptance of the expert group organized by Zhoushan Ocean and Fisheries Bureau and Zhejiang Ocean University.

After two years of research, the team successfully used wild squid parents to hatch artificially bred false squid and tiger squid larvae, with a hatching rate of over 90% and a seedling survival rate of over 60%. Both species have the characteristics of fast growth, low leftover food, high survival rate, short breeding cycle, and suitability for large-scale breeding.

During the research period, the project team cultivated more than 64,000 fertilized eggs of tiger-spotted squid and Pseudo-eye squid, more than 57,000 tiger-spotted squid and Pseudo-eye squid larvae with a body length of 1 cm, and more than 33,000 tiger-spotted squid and Pseudo-eye squid seedlings with a body length of more than 3 cm.

In addition to the research base, aquaculture is also being promoted in Ningde, Fujian. The two types of squid grow very fast, and can grow to more than 500 grams in 4 to 5 months. They can grow even faster in waters with high temperatures, greatly shortening the time to market.

Cuttlefish and squid are both deep-sea fish, which require very high water quality. Currently, they are all wild on the market, and there is no way to farm them in bulk. I am from Beihai, Guangxi. Every year when the country bans fishing in the sea, the prices of these two fishes rise very high. If they can be farmed, the price will not rise. At present, they cannot be farmed because the cost of farming is too high.

Yes, you can find suitable sea surface to breed in the cages in shallow sea and shoal.

It can be cultured in shallow seas and shoals using cages!
