1. What are the breeding methods and precautions for tiger squid?

Breeding methods

Use a storage box. Depending on the size of your tabby, you can use a box of about 40*30*30cm. It is best to use a semi-transparent one. Put it in a relatively dark place, but not too dark. You can use clean newspaper as a bedding material and put a water basin inside. It should be large enough for the snake to coil up and put its whole body in (preferably, a slightly smaller one is also fine). Generally, just use clean water.

Precautions

If you want to rest it, 2 to 3 days is enough. Be careful not to feed it too much. A safer way is to feed it a small white snake that is a little thicker than a snake. The key point is: don't touch it for 2 to 3 days after it eats, and it is better to feed less.

2. What is the suitable temperature for breeding tiger squid?

The aquaculture water is natural seawater in the sea area, with a water temperature of 14-30℃, a pH value of 8.0-8.6, a salinity of 23-34 (about 32 under normal circumstances), a dissolved oxygen of more than 6 mg/L, and a light intensity of 6000-8000 lux, avoiding direct sunlight. During the winter, the deep well seawater temperature is 25℃ and the specific gravity is 1.017. Natural seawater is added to adjust the water temperature to about 21℃ and the specific gravity to 1.020, and a 24-hour convection circulation state is maintained.

According to the growth and development needs of fry at different stages, fry with a body length of 2.5 to 5 cm are raised in plastic frames (table covers), fry with a body length of 5 to 10 cm are raised in small plastic cages of 1.2 m, 1 m and 0.5 m, and fry with a body length of 10 to 20 cm are directly raised in a 10 m³ circular cement pool.

3. What are the breeding techniques for tiger cuttlefish?

At present, the breeding of tiger-striped cuttlefish is mainly based on cage breeding. Therefore, before breeding, we must choose a more suitable sea area, and then choose some cages suitable for breeding cuttlefish. It is best to choose some cages with a soft texture but very strong. Then disinfect the cages, and then put the cages in the selected sea area in a certain order and with different depths and sizes. Finally, install a red tide alarm near the laid cages, and build some observation platforms nearby to observe the rise of sea water. The selection of cuttlefish fry is also very important. The current cuttlefish resources are relatively scarce, so the cost of purchasing fry is relatively high, so we must also minimize some breeding costs. We must choose cuttlefish fry with a more uniform size, strong and active, and very strong reproductive ability. Such fry will be easier to keep alive, and its yield will also increase. At the same time, when transporting the fry, we must pay attention to water injection and have an aerator. If conditions permit, change the water to keep the fry alive. Some damage during transportation can be avoided.

When stocking, you must pay attention to disinfecting the cuttlefish seedlings first, because the purchased cuttlefish seedlings bring some bacteria during transportation or other processes, which will affect the growth and health of the cuttlefish, and prevent them from being transmitted to other uninfected cuttlefish, which will cause a relatively large loss. Then we need to stock them at a reasonable density. In addition, when stocking, you need to put some other types of fish in appropriate amounts for breeding, which can also maximize the benefits.

Cuttlefish feeding management is very strict. It specifies the feeding times and the feed to ensure the normal growth of the cuttlefish. Generally, it is enough to drag the layer twice a day. Secondly, the feed is mainly freshly caught small fish and tadpoles. At other times, the cuttlefish feeds on plankton in the water. At the same time, the quality of the feed must be ensured to prevent spoiled or inferior feed. The amount of feed should be mainly based on the specific water temperature, air temperature and other specific conditions.

Cuttlefish swim in groups to shallow waters in the spring to mate and lay eggs. The spawning season near some coastal waters of Guangdong is around April to May. The water temperature is between 18 degrees Celsius and 24 degrees Celsius, and the eggs are laid at a depth of five to twenty meters.

Cuttlefish have very strict requirements for their living environment, so in the daily management process, we need to clean the impurities and dirt in the cages from time to time, and disinfect them. Basically, cleaning and disinfection must be carried out every ten days or half a month. Secondly, we must pay attention to the management of water levels in daily breeding, and always pay attention to weather changes, so that we can adjust the cages in a timely manner. Then, we need to conduct irregular inspections of the environment around the sea area to check whether the water quality in the sea area meets the living standards of cuttlefish, and purify the water in time. It is best to add some anti-disease and some antibiotics that can enhance immunity to the feed during breeding, which can reduce the occurrence of diseases to a certain extent.

4. Which squid is suitable for beginners to raise?

It is a tiger squid. You can keep it in a storage box. Depending on the size of your tiger squid, you can use a box of about 40*30*30cm. It is best to use a semi-transparent box and place it in a relatively dark place, but not too dark. You can use clean newspaper as a bedding material and put a water basin inside. It should be large enough for the snake to coil up and put its whole body in (preferably, but it doesn't matter if it is a little smaller). Generally, clean water is enough.

Note: If you want to rest it quietly, 2 to 3 days is enough. Be careful not to feed it too much. A safer way is to feed it a small white snake that is a little thicker than a snake. Key point: Do not touch it for 2 to 3 days after eating, and it is better to feed less.
