How to farm eels, eel farming technology

People who grew up in rural areas must be familiar with eels. This aquatic creature, which looks like a snake, actually has very tasty and nutritious meat with some medicinal value. It is a popular nourishing aquatic product on the dinner table. Eel vitality, easy to transport, can be put on the market live, the development of eel artificial culture has a certain market prospects. Eel artificial culture technology is briefly described as follows: mainly including the construction of eel ponds, eel seedling selection and stocking, artificial feeding and daily management. First, the construction of eel ponds eel has a strong adaptability to the environment. Some abandoned water bodies that are not suitable for breeding other fish and puddles and ponds that are not suitable for planting crops can be used as eel ponds. You can also choose a place with plenty of water, ventilation and sunshine to build an eel pond. The best eel pond is rectangular from east to west, with a depth of about 1m. The area depends on the scale of breeding, generally 20 to 50 m2. eel pond around the bottom, walls, gaps must be blocked tightly to prevent eels from escaping. Eel ponds must have inlets, outlets and overflow ports for discharging sewage, changing water and preventing eels from escaping when the water level rises in heavy rain. Each outlet must be equipped with escape prevention facilities. In order to facilitate the growth of eels, we can artificially imitate the natural environment in which eels live, such as throwing stones, tree roots or planting aquatic plants such as floating lotus in the pond. II. Selection and stocking of eel fry Currently in the artificial culture of eels, the selected free-ranging eel fry must be harmless, disease-free, healthy and smooth, and golden yellow color is preferred. Generally choose about 80 eel fry per kilogram. Eel fry with too small a specification will affect their intake and weight gain, so they cannot be harvested that year. Stocked eel fry must be neatly sized and of the same size. Remember to mix the sizes together to prevent like with like. Stocking density, each square meter can be stocked about 10 grams of eel fry 100 tails. Early spring stocking eel fry is more effective, conducive to eel early feeding, prolong the growth period. Third, artificial feeding eel is a carnivorous omnivorous fish, food sources are wide. Such as small fish and shrimp, earthworms, animal offal and leftovers, snail meat, rice, melon peels, vegetable scraps and so on. Eels should be fed at regular intervals, fixed points, fixed quality and fixed quantity. That is, eels are usually fed after dusk, and set up a fixed place to feed eels, which is conducive to eels feeding at a fixed point, and is convenient for us to observe the feeding of eels and clean up the residual bait. The bait should be fresh and live. The daily intake of eels is about 6% of the weight of eels. Feeding should be adjusted appropriately according to the eel's feeding situation of the previous day, and a slight surplus after feeding is appropriate. Do not feed eels for a long time or a short time, otherwise it will affect the growth of eels.
