The breeding site

Generally choose a breeding site with clear sea water, no pollution, short water diversion distance, convenient drainage, no fresh water impact, high annual salinity, and summer water

Places with lower temperatures, less affected by typhoons, and flat ground.

2. Water source

Water source condition requirements: the annual salinity should be maintained between 25‰35‰, the pH value should be between 7.88.5, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 33°C.

3. Breeding management

Snail seedling selection and stocking density: Select snail seedlings with strong vitality, good shell color, no trauma, and a shell height of more than 0.8cm, and stock them densely

The degree is between 800 and 1,000 grains per square meter;

Water quality control: Water quality control is very important, including controlling water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, etc. The breeding method of square-spotted Dongfeng snails is

continuously aerated and moderately flowing water. The water temperature should be controlled at 22°C to 30°C. When the water temperature drops to 20°C, the snail bodies will lack activity

Strength and reduce food intake, feeding should be reduced or stopped. The salinity of seawater has a great relationship with the growth of the square-spotted snail. When the salinity is lower than 15‰ for a long time, the square-spotted snail will die. Therefore, during heavy rain, you should pay attention to changes in the salinity of the breeding pond. In addition, the breeding pond is flushed every 710 days.

4. Bait and feeding

The square-spotted snail mainly feeds on miscellaneous fish, shrimp, shellfish and crabs. In artificial breeding, low-quality miscellaneous fish are often put in, and they are fed once a day in the evening. Generally, the daily feeding amount is 3% to 5% of the snail's body weight.

5. Main disease prevention and control

The square-spotted snail has fewer diseases. In the case of poor water quality conditions, swollen or rotten abdomen and feet may occur.

3ppm5ppm compound sulfamethoxazole or 2ppm3ppm norfloxacin can be soaked for 3 hours and 5 hours every day for 3 and 5 consecutive days. Can be effectively treated.
