Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aquaculture, and particularly relates to a zero-water-changing method in large-size seed cultivation of Takifugu obscurus. BACKGROUND
[0002] Takifugu obscurus has been a traditional and precious edible fish since ancient times, and ranks among the three fresh fishes in the Yangtze River. The fish has delicious meat and smooth taste, and has conquered a large number of Chinese and foreign diners. In today's rapid economic development, the demand for Takifugu obscurus, a high-grade food material, is increasing, and the prospect of Takifugu obscurus and its processed products is very broad.
[0003] Currently, the survival rate is low in the process of large-size seed cultivation of Takifugu obscurus. The individual of Takifugu obscurus is much smaller than other fish fries, and has a huge appetite and a large amount of excretion, which is easy to destroy the water body for seed cultivation.
[0004] Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, plays an important role in the nutrition physiology and immune system of fish. Vitamin C can participate in the synthesis of collagen, which is an important component of fish muscle and bone. At the same time, vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that can eliminate active oxygen and free radicals, protecting fish cells and tissues from oxidative damage. In addition, vitamin C is an effective immune enhancer that can stimulate fish immune cells and improve their ability to resist pathogens and stress.
[0005] Apple snail, the formal name of which is Planorbarius corneus var in Chinese, is originally from Europe to Central Asia, and has been artificially selected into a common freshwater aquarium snail. Apple snail has strong adaptability to temperature and can survive in the temperature range of 18-28℃. Apple snail is omnivorous and usually feeds on algae, feed debris and fish feces by sticking to the bottom of the tank. Apple snail is hermaphroditic and has strong reproductive capacity, and can reproduce throughout the year under suitable temperature and water quality conditions. At the same time, apple snail has thin shell and no closed lid, so apple snail can also be used as a natural biological bait for puffer fish in the aquarium market.
[0006] At present, the most common method to improve the water quality for Takifugu obscurus fry cultivation is to maintain the water quality by water changing. However, in the process of water changing, the fry is easy to be sucked away, and the change of water quality causes the stress death of Takifugu obscurus fry, which reduces the survival rate in the process of large-size seed cultivation of Takifugu obscurus. Therefore, a zero-water-changing method that can significantly improve the survival rate is urgently needed in the process of Takifugu obscurus seed cultivation to improve the breeding efficiency of Takifugu obscurus. SUMMARY
[0007] Invention purposes: based on the problems in the background art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a zero water changing method in the cultivation process of large-scale dark striped puffer fry, which can effectively reduce the mortality rate in the cultivation process of large-scale dark striped puffer fry and improve the survival rate of fry.
[0008] Technical scheme: the zero water changing method in the cultivation process of large-scale dark striped puffer fry of the present application comprises the following steps:
[0009] Step 1, water quality control of culture pond: oxygenate the culture pond by oxygen stone, and add methylene blue and vitamin C according to the size of the culture pond water body;
[0010] Step 2, apple snail feeding: after the dark striped puffer hatches for 4-6 days, it is transferred to the culture pond, and the apple snail is put into the culture pond within 12-36 hours;
[0011] Step 3, fry feeding: after the dark striped puffer fry is transferred into the culture pond for 1 day, feed it with brachionus calyciflorus; after 8-11 days, feed it with live artemia nauplii; after 12-18 days, feed it with live artemia nauplii and frozen artemia nauplii; after the fry is 1.5-2.5 cm long, feed it with frozen artemia nauplii and eel powder; when the fry is more than 2.5 cm long, feed it with pure eel powder;
[0012] Step 4, transfer out the culture pond: after the dark striped puffer fry is more than 3 cm long and completely feeds on eel powder, transfer it out of the culture pond, and end the dark striped puffer fry cultivation stage.
[0013] Further, in step 1, the oxygenation of the culture pond by oxygen stone is specifically: sink the oxygen stone into the bottom of the water body, keep it on all day, and control the oxygen output of the oxygen stone, with dissolved oxygen maintained at 6-9 mg / L. This step can prevent the dark striped puffer fry from suffering from bubble disease.
[0014] Further, in step 1, the methylene blue is a powder, and the water solution concentration is maintained at 1-3 mg / L, and the concentration of vitamin C is 400-600 mg / L. This step can improve the resistance of dark striped puffer fry.
[0015] Further, in step 2, the dark striped puffer is transferred to the culture pond after hatching for 4-6 days, and the water is warmed up when transferring, and the temperature difference between the incubator and the culture pond should be controlled within ±1℃.
[0016] The water warming specifically includes the following steps:
[0017] a. use a thermometer to measure the water temperature of the incubator and the culture pond respectively;
[0018] b. prepare a container that can hold all the fry and a certain amount of water;
[0019] c. Add the incubation pond water into the over-temperature water container, and then gently put the fish into the container;
[0020] d. Slowly stir the water in the container when the water temperature in the container is close to the water temperature in the incubation pond;
[0021] e. Slowly pour the fry along with the container water into the incubation pond when the water temperature in the container is close to the water temperature in the incubation pond.
[0022] Further, in step 2, the releasing density of the apple snails is 30-60 / m 2 Before being put into the culture pond, the apple snails need to be soaked in a 1‰ potassium permanganate solution for 10-20 min for disinfection.
[0023] Further, in step 3, when the Brachionus plicatilis is fed, 10 6 -10 7 ml / ml of Chlorella sp. algal solution is added.
[0024] Further, in step 3, the live Artemia nauplii are just hatched and broken membrane, and are sieved through an 80-mesh sieve, and the density of the Artemia nauplii is kept at 600-800 / L.
[0025] Further, in step 3, the pure eel fish meal has a crude protein content of 45%, and the specific feeding is that the meal and water are kneaded into a dough at a ratio of 1:1 and then put into the culture pond. In the later stage of this step, the darkbarred puffer fish fry has started to independently prey on the apple snail larvae, which further improves the survival rate of the darkbarred puffer fish fry.
[0026] Further, in step 4, the temperature difference between the water in the culture pond and the water transferred out of the culture pond is controlled to be ±2℃.
[0027] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following remarkable advantages:
[0028] (1) Compared with the traditional processing method for large-scale darkbarred puffer fish fry cultivation, the present application controls the whole process from the transfer of the fry into the culture pond to the transfer of the fry out of the culture pond. The darkbarred puffer fish does not suffer from bubble disease in the fry cultivation stage by using the present application to control the water quality. After the transfer of the fry out of the culture pond, the survival rate of the darkbarred puffer fish fry can be improved by 18%. In the later stage of the fry feeding, the darkbarred puffer fish fry has started to independently prey on the apple snail larvae, which further improves the survival rate of the darkbarred puffer fish fry. The survival rate of the fry comprehensively using the present application is 21.2% higher than that of the fry not using the present application;
[0029] (2) The application greatly reduces the mortality rate of large-size P. argus fry during the cultivation process, and the large-size fry cultivation period is zero water change, and the labor cost and material cost are low, the method greatly reduces the death of P. argus fry caused by water quality change, and can effectively improve the survival rate of P. argus fry breeding, so the application has strong practical popularization significance.
[0030] (3) The P. argus cultivated by the method has smooth surface without injury, stable and powerful swimming, active food grabbing after feeding, rapid response to stimulation, and normal shape and color of excrement, which can meet the further operation of breeding, breeding or scientific experiment.
