Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of aquaculture technology, in particular to a method and system for early breeding of Pelophylax nigromaculatus and cultivation of young frogs. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pelophylax nigromaculatus is a common edible and medicinal amphibian in China, with wide distribution and strong adaptability. The breeding season usually starts after winter with rising temperature, and the eggs are laid in shallow water areas, with a clutch of several hundred to several thousand eggs. This species is widely distributed in eastern and central China, and has formed a coexistence breeding mode represented by rice field coexistence for a long time. However, it still faces the common problems of seasonal market concentration and the survival rate of fry being greatly affected by climate fluctuations.

[0003] The mainstream "rice-frog coexistence" mode of the existing industry constructs breeding pools, hatching pools, fry pools and breeding pools in different zones in rice fields, and matches micro-flow water, density and water level control to improve hatching and growing efficiency. The main disadvantages of this mode are: ① The initial investment of rice-frog coexistence mode is large, with a cost of 16000-18000 yuan per mu in the first year (including mechanized facilities), and the cost of young frogs is about 3500 yuan (directly purchasing young frog seeds). ② The breeding season of black-spotted frogs is seasonal. Young frogs are released in early July, and start to be marketed in September, and black-spotted frogs start to hibernate in November. The time of large-scale marketing of black-spotted frogs is only 2 months. Concentrated marketing will result in low prices and reduced profits. In addition, in recent years, climate change has been large, and spring temperature is fluctuating, which has a great impact on the hatching and survival rate of tadpoles.

[0004] Early breeding of black-spotted frogs can effectively solve the above problems. That is, in addition to natural breeding in March-April, a series of technical measures are taken to make part of the black-spotted frog parents lay eggs and hatch in January-February, so as to cultivate large-scale early breeding young frogs. The advantages are: first, the marketing time is greatly advanced, filling the lack of frog period in May-July. Second, early breeding can intensively breed tadpoles, and the temperature and other conditions can be controlled, which can effectively improve the survival rate of seeds. Third, the early breeding of black-spotted frogs is not synchronized with the natural breeding of black-spotted frogs, which is conducive to maintaining the purity of the breeding population, facilitating the further breeding of black-spotted frogs, and is conducive to the optimization of black-spotted frog germplasm resources, laying a foundation for the sustainable development of black-spotted frog industry.

[0005] Chinese patent CN114532294B proposes to divide the rice field into zones according to function and adopt "three-level single ditch" transformation, and clearly defines the area and ratio of each functional zone, and installs a micro-flow water pipe above the hatching pool to increase oxygen, so as to realize orderly breeding and moderate advance of marketing (80% of the commercial frogs are larger than or equal to 40g in size). This scheme also emphasizes the necessity of anti-escape infrastructure such as netting and netting.

[0006] In terms of feeding and domestication, some technologies gradually domesticate Pelophylax nigromaculatus from "motile feeding" to "static feeding" through long-term selection and bait distribution, so as to adapt to artificial feed and reduce the risk of disease transmission caused by artificial driving. Chinese patent CN107616142B gives the area ratio of rice and frogs, the size of water ditch and the key points of temperature control, and proposes a behavior domestication path of 3-5 generations to improve the efficiency and economy of feeding.

[0007] For the complete process management of breeding and growing, Chinese patent CN106106348A gives a more systematic "seed selection, cultivation, spawning, incubation, tadpole feeding, juvenile frog management, and adult frog management" steps and key water environment parameters (such as incubation water temperature 18-31℃, pH 6.8-8.0, water depth 20-30cm, dissolved oxygen ≥3mg / L), emphasizing that the water level should be controlled to the edge of the feeding table when the tadpole's forelimbs are out and the tail is shrinking, reducing stress and facilitating landing.

[0008] To alleviate the contradiction between seasonality and concentrated marketing, some early breeding technologies attempt to induce spawning in February through exogenous hormones. For example, Chinese patent CN116548374A proposes "batch artificial breeding method of early Pelophylax nigromaculatus", which uses LHRH-A2 about 1.05-1.25μg and HCG about 40-45IU per individual to induce spawning in February, and uses net cage micro-flow water to concentrate incubation under the condition of spawning above 16℃ and incubation above 14℃ to obtain early fry, thereby extending the growth cycle and marketing early.

[0009] Some practitioners attempt to use a spawning needle to promote early breeding of Pelophylax nigromaculatus, however, this approach is not ideal in subsequent fry cultivation process. In addition, the metamorphosis development process of tadpoles after breeding is inconsistent, such as not changing the water-land ratio in time, which can lead to the phenomenon of juvenile frog drowning, thereby adversely affecting the overall cultivation efficiency. SUMMARY

[0010] To solve the above technical problems, the technical purpose of the present application is to provide an early breeding and juvenile frog integrated cultivation method and system suitable for Pelophylax nigromaculatus, which uses engineering means to promote awakening and spawning through temperature control and "filling, drying, and refilling" water stimulation without exogenous hormones, and realizes continuous operation of incubation, tadpole cultivation, metamorphosis, and juvenile frog domestication in the same temperature-controlled greenhouse with a ladder-type terrain, combined with adjustable water level, replaceable mesh escape-proof net, and feeding table arrangement, to solve the problems of handling stress caused by existing dispersed multi-pool management, drowning caused by metamorphosis out of sync, difficulty in real-time matching of water-land ratio, and seasonal concentrated marketing, thereby improving the consistency of fry survival and domestication, reducing unit cost, and significantly advancing the marketing time.

[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be described clearly and completely in combination with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0038] I. Facility modification

[0039] 1. Build a parent overwintering and breeding greenhouse. The overwintering environment temperature of the black-spotted frog can be changed by opening and closing the greenhouse, and the hibernation state of the black-spotted frog can be changed. A field with flat, appropriate size, convenient water source and good water quality should be selected. The width should not be too wide, otherwise it is not conducive to the feeding of the parents after spawning. A water ditch with a width of 50 cm and a depth of 20 cm is opened in the middle. Food tables are laid on both sides of the field, and the food tables are covered with a film with a height of about 20 cm.

[0040] Pre-set water inlet pipe and drain pipe at both ends of the ditch, install 20 mesh bag on the inlet and outlet pipe for filtering water and preventing parent escape. Drain pipe can control the water level in the shed. Set up escape prevention board or wall around the shed, fence height is set to 1m-1.2m, every 1m is reinforced with wooden stake or steel pipe.

[0041] 2. Land transformation of the big shed for tadpole cultivation and juvenile frog domestication. As shown in the figure, the land in the shed is transformed into a ladder type, each step is 20cm high. As the number of tadpoles metamorphosed into juvenile frogs increases, gradually reduce the water level and increase the land area to facilitate the batch of metamorphic juvenile frogs to go ashore, avoiding the small feeding table area in traditional incubation pool causing the juvenile frogs to crowd and drown. Integrating tadpole hatching, cultivation, metamorphosis and juvenile frog cultivation in one place can avoid frequent operation during tadpole cultivation to metamorphosis and reduce stress. Figure 1

[0042] Suitable high pole plants can be planted in the shed to provide shade for the black-spotted frogs.

[0043] 3. Water temperature heating. Increase the breeding and hatching water temperature through biomass boiler heating means, and keep the water temperature above 15℃ to maintain the hatching rate and tadpole survival rate.

[0044] 4. Inlet and outlet water, pre-set water inlet pipe and drain pipe at both ends of the lowest step, install 60-80 mesh bag on the inlet and outlet pipe for filtering water and preventing tadpoles from escaping, and replace the mesh bag with 20 mesh as the tadpoles metamorphose and juvenile frogs grow. Drain pipe can control the water level in the shed. Set up escape prevention board or wall around the shed, and set the fence height to 1m-1.2m, every 1m is reinforced with wooden stake or steel pipe.

[0045] 5. Set up feeding table on both sides of the big shed, single side feeding table is 1m wide, and the feeding table is about 20cm high, Figure 3 As shown in the figure, mobile feeding table (such as Figure 3 left figure in the figure) or mulch feeding table (such as Figure 3 right figure in the figure) can be used on the feeding table.

[0046] II. Black-spotted frog breeding

[0047] Keep the facility shed dry and ventilated to keep the black-spotted frogs in hibernation. Increase the temperature in the shed from early February to early March, fill the frog pond with water, then dry it, and refill the pond with water the next day. The breeding frogs will soon end their hibernation and then mate and lay eggs, keeping the water temperature at about 15℃.

[0048] Egg laying is generally in the morning from 4am to 7am, and the egg mass is collected 2 hours after laying to ensure full fertilization of the egg mass.

[0049] III. Egg mass hatching

[0050] ​The egg mass is transferred to the tadpole cultivation and juvenile frog acclimation greenhouse for hatching, and the egg laying density is 40,000-50,000 eggs / m 2 The oxygenation facilities can be appropriately increased to improve the hatching rate.

[0051] Four, tadpole cultivation

[0052] After the tadpoles are out of the membrane for one week, the observation of the disappearance of the yolk sac can be used as a guide to start feeding. The powdered feed is stirred in water and then sprinkled in the pond. After one week, the powdered feed is mixed with an appropriate amount of water to form a dough-like substance and then fed at a fixed point. After 20 days, the feed is gradually changed to tadpole feed with a particle size of 0.8 mm. The amount of feed should be appropriate so that the tadpoles finish eating within one hour after feeding. The tadpoles prefer a variety of artificial feeds, such as soybean meal, rapeseed meal, and tadpole special feed. However, the tadpole special feed is the best choice for breeding, as it results in fast growth, uniform metamorphosis, and easy acclimation to food.

[0053] The water quality is changed in time, and the water and substrate are regularly improved with microbial agents. The tadpole activity and feeding behavior are observed frequently, and problems are solved in time. After 35-50 days, the tadpoles gradually grow hind legs (depending on water temperature conditions), and some tadpoles start to grow front legs. At this time, the management should be strengthened, and appropriate amounts of calcium and iodine agents should be added. The water change amount and frequency should be increased to prevent oxygen deficiency and promote uniform metamorphosis of the tadpoles.

[0054] Five, artificial training

[0055] When the metamorphosis rate of the tadpoles reaches more than 5%, the water level is gradually lowered to expose a small amount of land for the juvenile frogs to inhabit. When the metamorphosis rate reaches 70%-80%, the water level is lowered to expose the feeding table, and the artificial feed training begins.

[0056] A simple feeding table is laid out with grass cloth or other materials, or a mobile feeding table is placed. When the metamorphosis rate of the tadpoles reaches 10%-20%, the table can be laid out, and after the construction is completed, the water is added for normal management. The training generally uses black-spotted frog special feed with a crude protein content of 40%-42% and a particle size of 0.8-1.0 mm.

[0057] During the training period, the tadpoles are fed twice a day at 07:00-08:00 and 16:00-17:00. The amount of feed should be appropriate so that there is still a small amount of feed left after one hour of feeding. At night, the juvenile frogs are active and eat a lot, so there should be a small amount of feed on the feeding table. Generally, after 2-3 days of training, most juvenile frogs will actively eat on the feeding table, and after 5 days, normal feeding management can be carried out.

[0058] Six, marketing

[0059] When the juvenile frog fry reaches 4 g per tail, it can be sold or further cultivated in the field. It can be released after the rice is planted, as shown in the table. Figure 4

[0060] ​The technical effect of the present application: after facility modification and management technology optimization, the breeding time of black-spotted frogs is advanced by more than 2 months, and the marketing time is advanced to July. The metamorphic growth period of early breeding tadpoles avoids the plum rain weather from May to June, and the onshore domestication rate of tadpoles is increased from 30% to more than 50%.

[0061] The test process of the present application is given below to prove the effect of the integrated early breeding and juvenile frog breeding technology of the present application.
