1, breeding site selection
The pond for raising Monopterus albus should be sheltered from the wind and sun, with quiet environment and convenient water source. Cement ponds and earth ponds can be used, and reservoirs, ponds, ditches and rivers can also be cultured in cages.
2. Pond construction
The shape of the eel pond depends on the terrain, and the pond is square and round. The depth of the pond is 0.7-1 m. Whether it is a cement pool or a soil pool, the bottom of the pool should be filled with a layer of 30 cm thick fat mud, and the fat mud with more organic matter is better, which is conducive to digging eels.
Step 3 clean the pond
The periphery of the breeding pond should be cleaned to remove the rotten branches and leaves inside and outside the pond. Check whether the water inlet, water outlet, pond bank, escape prevention and other facilities are in good condition, and carry out maintenance in time when problems are found. Planting climbing plants such as loofah and lentils on the mud ridge outside the pool can improve the water quality.
4, seedling preparation
Generally, the time of eel seedling entry is June-July. The eels that have just arrived are in poor health and under great pressure. When it is transported back to the pond, it is likely to have a stress reaction, resulting in death and loss. Therefore, we must choose 3-5 consecutive sunny days without north wind when planting seedlings.
5. Feeding requirements
Generally speaking, Monopterus albus is a fish mainly based on animal feed, which requires fresh feed and does not eat rotten animal feed. As far as artificial culture is concerned, the feed of Monopterus albus should be mainly animal feed, supplemented by plant feed. Ensuring sufficient and high-quality feed is the key to the success and high yield of Monopterus albus culture. The food intake of Monopterus albus will change with its growth stage. Therefore, in order to meet the nutritional needs of Monopterus albus, the feed should be adjusted reasonably.
