One acre of loach breeding requires 500 kilograms of loach seedlings with a size of 5-8 cm. The size of loach seedlings is about 150 per catty, and the total number of seedlings per acre is 75,000-85,000. There are many ways to breed loaches. Common ones include monoculture in cement ponds, polyculture in ponds, and rice field culture. If you build a cement tank for breeding, which is an intensive breeding tank, the amount of stocking will be relatively large. About 30,000 seedlings of 5cm~8cm per acre is relatively moderate.

How much can one mu of loach earn?

The average yield of loach per mu is more than 2,000 kilograms. Calculated based on 2,000 kilograms, the market price is based on the current average wholesale price of 11 yuan, and the income can be 22,000 yuan. After deducting the total cost of breeding, one acre of loach can earn 7,900 yuan. The breeding cycle of loach seedlings is about 100 days. Most areas in the country can breed two seasons a year. Therefore, you can earn 15,800 yuan a year by raising one acre of loach. At the same time, as the breeding technology of farmers continues to improve, more and more farmers are now self-propagating or purchasing water seedlings for breeding. The investment in raising loach water seedlings will be less and the breeding efficiency will be higher.
