Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of freshwater lobster breeding, and in particular to a method for breeding and hatching tropical Australian freshwater lobster seedlings. Background Art
[0002] Tropical Australian freshwater lobster is a crustacean of the family Cheliceridae in the order Decapoda. It has a brown-green body color and a membranous bright red band on the outer tip of its claws. It is named for its robust and majestic appearance, which resembles a sea lobster. Tropical Australian freshwater lobster is native to the tropical region of northern Australia. It has strong adaptability and can tolerate harsh climates. It can live normally in water temperatures between 5-35 degrees Celsius. It lurks in hidden places during the day, feeds at dusk and dawn, and is active at night, living a bottom-dwelling crawling life. It has a mixed diet, eating both animal feed and artificial compound feed and humus, and is easy to raise.
[0003] With the improvement of living standards, Australian lobsters are gradually accepted and loved by people for their delicious meat, and artificial breeding of tropical Australian freshwater lobsters has also become a major way to increase production and reduce prices.
[0004] Transferring male and female shrimps to the same breeding pond for mating before mating does not result in a higher mating rate than keeping them originally in the same pond. However, if they are always kept in the same pond, the mating time cannot be controlled. In addition, the collection of tropical Australian freshwater shrimp fry is also more troublesome. Summary of the invention
[0005] The invention relates to a method for breeding and hatching tropical Australian freshwater lobster seedlings.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: The present invention is a method for breeding and hatching tropical Australian freshwater lobster seedlings, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Choose a suitable breeding location and mature external conditions to build a breeding shed;
[0008] Step 2: The breeding shed is equipped with constant temperature equipment and convenient ventilation to maintain the indoor temperature at 23-28 degrees Celsius;
[0009] Step 3: dig a pit 1.5m-2m deep from the ground into the breeding pond, build it with cement, add 0.6-1.2m of water, the water transparency should be above 0.4m, and install a pressure pump in the pond;
[0010] Step 4: Arrange a sandy or hard soil bottom in the breeding pond and plant water hyacinths to cover 30-40% of the area to provide a hidden place for tropical Australian freshwater lobsters;
[0011] Step 5: Hang a set of barrier nets in the middle of each breeding pond, so that water can flow freely but tropical Australian freshwater lobsters cannot pass through;
[0012] Step 6: Select adult shrimps with complete appendages, smooth bodies, strong vitality, and body length of more than 9 cm in advance. Separate the male and female shrimps according to a certain ratio and place them on both sides of the barrier net in the same breeding pond;
[0013] Step 7: By the end of January each year, remove the isolation net in the middle, start mixed breeding and mating, lower the temperature in the shed, and control it at 20-25 degrees Celsius for 2-3 days;
[0014] Step 8: Carefully observe the status of the female shrimps. When the fertilized eggs develop into red, place the female shrimps in the net cage for incubation. There are 6-8 female shrimps in each net cage.
[0015] Step nine, the hatched tropical Australian freshwater shrimp fry are collected from the gap between the outer cage and the inner cage, and placed in a specific nursery pond for breeding. After 5-7 days, the fry will emerge. The tropical Australian freshwater shrimp fry with complete appendages, smooth bodies and no diseases are selected and placed in a special breeding pond.
[0016] Furthermore, the breeding site in step 1 must be in a sunny location, with no long-term noise pollution, no air and water pollution, a stable and clean water source or water source provider, very convenient drainage and irrigation, convenient transportation, and stable power supply.
[0017] Furthermore, in step 2, the roof and sides of the breeding shed are provided with controllable ventilation windows, ventilation is fast and convenient, and air conditioning equipment is provided.
[0018] Furthermore, in step three, a 1-meter walkway is reserved between the pools.
[0019] Furthermore, the diameter of the barrier mesh in step five is 2-3 cm.
[0020] Furthermore, in step six, a more appropriate male-female ratio of 2:1 is preferred.
[0021] Furthermore, the step seven of lowering the temperature is to promote mating and egg-laying.
[0022] Furthermore, in step eight, the net cage is divided into two layers, an inner net cage and an outer net cage, the mesh size of the inner net cage is 0.8-1 cm, and the mesh size of the outer net cage is 0.25 mm.
[0023] Preferably, the water quality maintains a pH value between 6 and 8.
[0024] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above structure are as follows:
[0025] 1. Provide requirements and conditions for the site selection of tropical Australian freshwater lobster breeding ponds to reduce the probability of the quality of tropical Australian freshwater lobsters being affected by objective factors such as water sources, electricity, and transportation.
[0026] 2. Ensure the temperature and ventilation conditions in the shed, and have strict temperature setting requirements to reduce the chance of slow growth and low reproductive capacity of tropical Australian freshwater crayfish due to temperature discomfort.
[0027] 3. By using barrier nets, male and female shrimps can be raised in the same breeding pond at the same time, reducing the process of moving ponds, increasing mating rates, and controlling mating time.
[0028] 4. Use inner and outer cages to collect tropical Australian freshwater shrimp fry. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
