Precautions for Keeping the Yellow Bonefish:

A, Breeding

Whether it is a pond, net box or other aquaculture water body, its water source must be sufficient and free of pollution, the substrate and the surrounding ecological environment must be suitable for the growth and development of the yellow croaker.

Source of fish species

Fish species can be caught from rivers and lakes, or artificially bred, regardless of its source, must be standardized and coarse cultivation, into the adult fish ponds, nets, fish species specifications of 30 to 50 grams, such specifications of the survival rate is high, the growth rate of the faster, in a timely manner, to meet the specifications of the market of commercial fish.

Three, feeding high quality feed

Higher quality bait is an effective measure to improve the survival rate, listing specifications and economic benefits of yellow croaker. Yellow croaker is omnivorous, animal feed-based fish, so the feed should be fed more than 35% crude protein, 2% to 2.5% of the weight of the fish fed before May, June to August water temperature is high, the yellow croaker is in the peak of the growth of the peak period, the fish can be 4% to 5% of the weight of the feed.

Four, pay attention to the regulation of water quality and disease prevention and control

Higher requirements for water quality, to maintain water transparency of 35 to 45 centimeters, PH value of 6.5 to 8, a monthly water change, the installation of oxygenators in the pond, timed or untimely start, increase the dissolved oxygen in the water, to avoid or reduce the phenomenon of floating or flooding ponds, so that the yellow croaker growth is normal.

Fish disease should be timely control, do a good job of prevention, the regular use of quicklime, bleach or other drugs to disinfect, kill bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms in the pond, to reduce the occurrence of disease.
