Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ecological breeding of mud crabs and protection and restoration of mangroves, and in particular to a method for breeding mud crabs by utilizing mangroves. Background Art

[0002] The mud crab, also known as the blue crab, red sturgeon, mud crab, or mud crab, is an arthropod of the family Portunidae, order Decapoda. It typically weighs 300-500g. Its cephalothorax is oval, with a dorsal protuberance and an H-shaped pattern. Its surface is smooth. Its body is bluish-green, without small protrusions or white spots. Its chelipeds are stout and asymmetrical, with the right larger than the left. The latticework markings on the chelipeds and legs are less numerous and lighter in color. The male abdomen is divided into five segments, with segments 3-5 fused to form a broad triangle. The female abdomen has seven segments, which are broadly oval and may or may not have a latticework pattern.

[0003] The mud crab, the largest and fastest-growing member of the family Portunidae, is a prized marine crab and a traditional aquatic export. Its meat is delicious and highly nutritious, earning it the reputation of "sea ginseng," making it a highly sought-after and prized seafood. Mud crabs are highly disease-resistant and resistant to drought and exposure, making them suitable for long-distance transportation and a stable market.

[0004] At present, in the production process of mud crab farming, most of them are simply reused shrimp ponds and fish ponds to carry out mud crab monoculture or polyculture. The monoculture model of mud crab is to reuse extensive farming, and the polyculture model is to reuse shrimp ponds or fish ponds to mainly culture Vannamei shrimp or tilapia, and to culture a small amount of mud crab as a supplement. What is more serious is that a good farming model has not yet been developed for mud crab farming, and there are bottlenecks in farming technology. In addition, mud crabs have ferocious habits, and individuals attack and cannibalize each other under conditions without protective facilities. This directly leads to low survival rate and low output of mud crabs under the two farming models.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly important to explore a more ecological and higher survival rate breeding method. Summary of the Invention

[0067] Two inlets and outlets are also set up in the circular tidal ditch to exchange seawater with the outside and take in nutrients. The ratio of the width of the inlet and outlet to the water area in the pond is set at 60cm / hectare.

[0068] (2) Plant mangroves in the planting islands with a plant spacing of 1.5 m and a row spacing of 1.5 m to form an artificial forest;

[0069] (3) At the bottom of the artificial forest, 8 trees / m 2 Plant seahorse teeth in the annular groove according to the standard of 2.5kg wet weight / m 2 Gracilaria is planted according to the standard. A floating bed is set in the annular ditch. Kelp and wakame are planted in the floating bed. The area of ​​a single floating bed is 0.5m 2 Floating bed is per 12m 2 The density of one floating bed is configured on the water surface;

[0071] The water level in the breeding pond is controlled by the inlet and outlet. Based on the natural tidal law, the water is exchanged with the open sea water on the first and fifteenth day of each lunar month and the three days before and after. The amount of water exchanged each time accounts for 30% of the total water volume of the pond. When the water level is high, the water in the breeding pond is controlled to submerge the planting island by 10 cm. When the water level is low, the water level in the circular ditch is guaranteed to be no less than 80 cm until the blue crabs are harvested.

[0072] Note: The mangrove plants used in this embodiment are planted in combination with a variety of plants such as Avicennia marina, Kandelia candel, Tung blossom tree, Rhizophora rubra, Helianthus annuus, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Caryophyllum serrata, and Sonneratia salsa to improve the ecological diversity in the pond.

[0073] Test example

[0074] From April 2020 to November 2024, a mud crab farming experiment was conducted in Leizhou, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province. The methods of Examples 1 to 3 were used for modification and farming tests, and three test plots were selected for each example for repeated testing. The farming time was calculated from the day of release and ended when the crabs reached the specifications of commercial crabs (pickled crablets 100-200g, crab roe 200g or more, and butter crabs 150g or more). The average per mu yield of Examples 1 to 3 (net increase after deducting the initial release amount) was also calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0075] Table 1

[0076] Group Experimental group 1 Experimental Group 2 Experimental Group 3 Initial dosage (kg / mu) 40 27 34 Harvest (kg / mu) 82.75 66.08 77.92 Average yield (kg / mu) 42.75 39.08 43.92 Feeding time (kg / mu) 98 127 112

[0077] Conclusion: The aquaculture method of this invention provides a complete living system for blue crabs by combining mangroves, algae, mussels, and other organisms. Commercial blue crab aquaculture can be achieved in approximately 3-4 months, with an average yield of 37-45 kg per mu per breeding. Two commercial aquacultures can be completed annually, with an average annual yield of 75-90 kg per mu.

[0078] While the initial costs of mangrove planting and pond renovation are increased, the improved environment allows for continuous use and results in higher yields per mu. Furthermore, because the rearing environment is closer to the natural one, with less human intervention during the rearing process, the mud crabs raised in the mangrove ecosystem of this invention are superior in quality and flavor to those raised in conventional ponds, making them more popular in the market.

[0079] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a method for cultivating mud crabs using mangroves, comprising the following steps: (1) performing simple engineering transformation based on traditional aquaculture ponds in coastal wetlands, constructing a planting island in the middle of the aquaculture pond, and reserving a circular tidal ditch between the planting island and the surrounding area of ​​the aquaculture pond; (2) planting mangrove plants in the planting island to form an artificial forest; (3) planting small aquatic plants at the bottom of the artificial forest and planting large algae in the annular ditch; (4) placing mud crab seedlings into the aquaculture pond and performing daily management until the mud crabs are harvested. The present invention utilizes shellfish to provide the main food supply for mud crabs and purify the water quality at the same time; mud crab excrement can feed back and promote the growth of mangroves, algae, mussels, etc.; large algae can photosynthesize at the bottom of the pond to increase dissolved oxygen in the water body, and small seaweeds are placed on the planting island to make up for the low coverage of newly planted mangrove plant seedlings.

[0080] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
