1. Choose a fish pond with running water. Siniperca chuatsi is a kind of bottom fish, which generally lives in rivers, lakes and other places with slow water flow, and of course, many of them live in reservoirs. Secondly, there are abundant aquatic herbs in the fish pond, because mandarin fish usually come out for food at night and rest underwater during the day. Finally, the fish pond should have some living water, not stagnant water. Such a farm is not suitable for raising mandarin fish. If the water quality management is slightly improper, it will cause a large area of death and huge losses. 2. Water source conditions: Water source is a necessary condition and the most basic requirement for the breeding of Siniperca chuatsi. Then, the requirements of water source conditions for Chinese mandarin fish farming are as follows: the water source for farming should be sufficient, far away from polluted areas, the water quality should be guaranteed, and the water temperature should not be too high or too low.
