food intake situations of the mandarin fish, pouring new water every week, and preventing and controlling fish diseases, wherein prevention is first, the prevention and control are combined, and early diagnosis and early treatment are performed. According to the method provided by theinvention, all water in the breeding pond is discharged, and the pond is exposed under the sun, so that
bacteria can be effectively killed; when the fry are thrown, the fry are sterilized and the baitis disinfected, so that possibility of diseases of the fry can be effectively reduced, and a
survival rate of the fry can be improved; and the method can be widely promoted, and better guarantee market supply and demand of the mandarin fish.
