Method for artificially breeding tachypleus tridentatus

Abstract

The invention provides a method for artificially breeding tachypleus tridentatus. The method for artificially breeding the adult tachypleus tridentatus comprises the following steps: selecting land, at a distance of 50-100 meters to the shore, near a sea area of a subtropical area as a farm; building breeding ponds, dividing each breeding pond into multiple breeding areas, forming channels betweenthe adjacent breeding areas, and dividing each breeding area with corresponding partition nets into multiple breeding units; controlling the water depth in the breeding ponds to be 1.5-1.6 meters; placing 2-4 tachypleus tridentatus into each breeding unit, and stocking ditrema temmincki and/or siganus in the breeding ponds; and feeding shellfish meat or small raw fishes into the breeding ponds every day. According to the method for artificially breeding the tachypleus tridentatus, the tachypleus tridentatus is dispersed into the breeding ponds to avoid excessive gathering, so that death rateincrease due to excessive local density is avoided; the method for artificially breeding the tachypleus tridentatus is suitable for blood collection for production of tachypleus amebocyte lysates, andespecially, repeated catches or catch missing is avoided; a breeding space is fully used, so that maximum of breeding benefits is achieved; and ecological breeding is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for cultivating marine organisms, in particular to a method for artificially cultivating Chinese horseshoe crabs. Background technique [0002] Horseshoe crab is an ancient marine organism with a history of 450 million years of development. It is called a "living fossil" and is an indispensable member of coastal wetlands and marine ecosystems. Chinese horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus) belongs to the arthropod phylum Lithostomy, and lives on the sandy bottom of the shallow sea. The growth cycle of Chinese horseshoe crab is very long, and it takes nearly 13 years to complete reproduction. The Beibu Gulf area of ​​Guangxi is one of the most important habitats of Chinese horseshoe crab. [0003] In the 1950s, people discovered that the blood of horseshoe crab can be made into an important bacterial detection - Limulus reagent, which can detect bacteria most quickly and accurately. The application of Limulus reagent...

Problems solved by technology

But so far, the artificial breeding of Chinese horseshoe crab has only stayed in the laboratory stage, and there is no report on the artificial breeding of Chinese horseshoe crabs for production.
