What should we pay attention to when breeding Monopterus albus?

Monopterus albus is a delicious food deeply loved by people. Not only the meat is slippery, but also the nutritional value is rich. Regular consumption is of great benefit to human body. Although it is often seen in fields in many areas, it is far from meeting the huge market demand, so more and more cultured Monopterus albus appear on people's dining tables to satisfy the taste buds of diners. The price of Monopterus albus has been relatively high. If it can be raised well, it will undoubtedly bring considerable benefits. So today, let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to when raising eel.

1. Select eel species.

Eel species must be healthy and disease-free and injury-free. Young eels that can't be caught by the hook are easy to die because of internal injuries. The size of eel species can be larger or smaller (if possible, it is better to be larger), but mixed breeding of large and small is prohibited, and it must be raised separately according to the size, and there can be no difference. In the large-scale culture of Monopterus albus, the supply of Monopterus albus species is a key problem. We should focus on solving the technical problems of industrial eel breeding, or use special eel parent fish breeding pond and young eel breeding pond for supporting production. If you only buy fry from abroad, the production will be passive, and it will also directly affect the growth cycle of Monopterus albus.

2. Pay attention to the habitat of Monopterus albus.

Therefore, since we want to raise eels well, there is a saying: "Know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle." We need to know its habitat and living habits, so as to make full preparations for eel breeding. First of all, we should understand that Monopterus albus is a kind of fish in tropical and warm zones. Generally speaking, Monopterus albus is very adaptable and lives underwater. Even in some swampy or muddy places, it is most suitable for the growth of Monopterus albus. Especially when farmers grow rice, Monopterus albus likes to make holes next to rice fields. Its hole length is about three times its body length, and the hole is curved and crossed. Generally speaking, eel has two caves, one is the entrance and the other is the exit, which is convenient for eel to breathe the air on the water surface, and it is also convenient for eel to have two exits as a choice when fleeing.

3. Pay attention to daily management

In addition to feeding well, the key point is to prevent Monopterus albus from escaping, improve water quality, and do a good job in heatstroke prevention and overwintering: preventing escape. Check and maintain the escape prevention equipment of eel pond frequently. In rainy days, especially in heavy rain, it is necessary to drain water in time to prevent eel from escaping from the drainage hole. Water quality management: In order to keep the pool water stable and fresh, the depth of the pool water of Monopterus albus should be between 15-25cm, which can be deepened in high temperature season. When the weather changes suddenly (from rainy to sunny) and the weather is sultry, fresh water should be injected in time to prevent eel from floating frequently due to lack of oxygen, and water should be changed regularly. In hot season, water must be changed every day to clean up the residual food in time.
