The invention provides a method for breeding thick-shell river snails, and particularly relates to the technical field of
aquaculture. The method comprises the following steps of: a, building a riversnail
pool, specifically, a place with sufficient
water source and fresh and
clean water quality is selected to build the river
snail pool; b, selecting and rearing river
snail parents, specifically,a stone
snail is chosen as a male parent and a river snail is chosen as a female parent; c, breeding young river snails, specifically, the individual young river snails with the shell thickness of 60-80 mm are selected from a
first generation produced by the female parents, and hybridization is carried out according to the ratio of female to male of 4-5: 1 to produce a second generation of the young river snails; d, rearing and screening the young river snails, specifically, dead river snails and the river snails with holes at the tails of the second generation of the young river snails are weeded out to obtain the thick-shell river snails; and e, breeding the thick-shell river snails, specifically, the thick-shell river snails are raised to 8-12 months of age and then the thick-shell river snails for the breeding of a next generation of the river snails are reserved according to the ratio of female to male of 4-5: 1. According to the method, the bred thick-shell river snails have theadvantages of being large in
body size, thick in shell, convenient to transport, crisp in mouth feeling, fresh and sweet in taste, high in
survival rate and stable in quality; and the breeding processof the method is simple and feasible, the
elimination rate is low, the management is convenient, and easy to be popularized.
