The jumping fish, the scientific name of mudskipper, for the spiny-finned fish family, the world *** there are 25 species of mudskipper, according to its shape and behavioral characteristics can be categorized into four species; Scuttlebutt, Por Ovsalmers, Peri Ovsalmers, and Peri Ovsalmerton. There are mainly three genera and six species along the coast of China, namely, the elasmobranch, the great elasmobranch, the green elasmobranch, and the great green elasmobranch. The common species are the mudskipper, the great mudskipper, and the green mudskipper. Mudskippers have gills and are true fish, an ancient class of less evolved fish animals.

1, pond conditions breeding mudskipper ponds generally 2 acres to 10 acres is appropriate, the bottom of the pond requires flat, soft clay substrate is preferred, conducive to mudskipper drilling habitat. The bottom of the pond should be higher than the low tide line in the sea area, so that it is easy to drain the water and sunbathe. In the center of the pool dug a cross ditch, the pool along the edge of a circular edge of the ditch, forming a "field" word, the general width of the ditch 2 meters, ditch depth of about 30 cm, to facilitate the drainage of sunshine ping when sheltering mudskippers. Ponds are best inlet and outlet separately, connected to the central ditch, the bottom of the pond from the inlet gate to the drainage gate tilt, the bottom of the drainage gate should be lower than the bottom of the inlet gate about 20 centimeters, in order to facilitate the draining of the pond water. In the inlet and drainage gates and the pond are set around the escape facilities.

2, clear the pond and disinfection half a month before stocking, the pond water first drained, continuous sun ping a few days, until the ping surface into a cracked sun, and then 75 kg per mu of quicklime to 100 kg or bleach (32% chlorine) 30ppm pond sprinkler disinfection, to remove the enemy organisms.

3, cultivation of bottom algae breeding pond clearing and disinfection, it began to cultivate bottom algae. The method is to apply per acre of pond fermented chicken manure or pig manure 20 kg ~ 30 kg, 15 kg of rice bran, but also can be applied to algae growth factor, microorganisms, oil bran and so on. When applying fertilizer, should choose a sunny day without wind, chicken manure and so on evenly sprinkled on the bottom of the pond, pay attention to do not appear to pile up. Then, into 10 cm ~ 15 cm of seawater, seawater specific gravity 1.010 ~ 1.014 is appropriate. After 3 days to 5 days, the bottom algae gradually multiply, forming algae beds. Algae bed to brown diatoms and more tender green algae is best.

4, put the seedling cultivation bottom algae, you can put the seedling. Fry mainly from the sea area of the harvested natural seedlings. Selection of fry requires each fin intact, scales complete, no mechanical damage, strong vitality. The density of fry is controlled at 5000 to 7000 tails/mu, with specifications of 200 to 240 tails/kg. Since mudskippers don't kill each other, they can be stocked in batches, and when they are harvested, catch the big ones and keep the small ones.

5, breeding management began to cast seedlings, should maintain the water depth of 10 cm ~ 15 cm or so, to maintain clear water, so that the sun can penetrate to the bottom of the pool, to facilitate the photosynthesis of algae, accelerate the bottom of the algal reproduction. However, after a period of time, the algae originally cultivated will be eaten by mudskippers, and the water quality will start to become turbid. In order to meet the growth needs of mudskippers in the pond, the water should be drained and fertilized in time so as to reproduce the algae again for the mudskippers to feed on. However, it is worth noting that draining the pool should be done with an eye on the weather forecast, otherwise the algae bed will be washed away if it rains. In addition, it is important to prevent fierce fish, birds, crabs and conchs from harming the mudskippers.

There are fewer fish diseases in the breeding process of mudskippers, but sometimes parasitic sporozoites may appear, with the symptom of yellow dots under the scales and epidermis, and microscopic examination of sporozoite sporocysts, which can be prevented and treated by splashing 0.5ppm povidone-iodine in the whole pond. There is also a small form of sea leech occasionally parasitized on the thin fish body, serious cases can be 90% crystal "trichlorfon" 0.5ppm whole pool sprinkling.
