Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lobster breeding, and in particular to a controllable fully artificial seed breeding method for Procambarus clarkii. Background Art

[0002] Procambarus clarkia, commonly known as crayfish, is a popular species in aquaculture in recent years. In particular, with the explosive growth of integrated breeding models such as "rice-procambarus clarkia" and "aquatic vegetables-procambarus clarkia", there are millions of acres of new breeding area every year, so there is a huge demand for procambarus clarkia seedlings. At present, the breeding of procambarus clarkia seedlings is still mainly self-breeding in original ponds, and large-scale factory breeding under controllable artificial conditions is still blank. Due to the long natural breeding period of procambarus clarkia, it is difficult to achieve uniform specifications. Its cannibalistic characteristics also directly affect the survival rate of shrimp seedlings, which brings great difficulties to the control of later breeding density and specifications. In addition, the production of naturally bred shrimp seedlings is seriously insufficient during the best seedling release period before the end of March each year, and is relatively surplus after April, resulting in significant price fluctuations, which seriously affects market stability and production efficiency.

The fertilized egg incubation method is as follows: according to the production plan, the incubation temperature of the constant temperature incubator is controlled at 24°C-30°C, and the temperature is gradually increased by 1°C-2°C every day until the water temperature of the fertilized eggs reaches the temperature required for hatching. The temperature is maintained for incubation, and oxygenation facilities are placed during the period to ensure that the water body has sufficient dissolved oxygen. New water is replaced every 5-7 days, and the temperature of the new water is kept consistent with the incubation temperature before changing the water.
