Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of shrimp-rice symbiosis, and specifically relates to a method for culturing Australian lobsters in paddy fields and an ecological culture field. Background Technique
[0002] Shrimp-rice co-culture, as an ecological circular agriculture model, realizes the collaborative production of rice planting and aquaculture (that is, "one water is used for two purposes, and one field harvests double crops") by excavating annular aquaculture ditches in paddy fields and setting anti-escape facilities. This model has been successfully practiced in the cultivation of Australian freshwater lobsters (commonly known as red-clawed crayfish), and has both ecological benefits and economic value.
[0003] Traditional farming relies on natural water replacement and lacks active water quality control measures. The dissolved oxygen fluctuates greatly, often below 3 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration is easily exceeded > 0.02 mg / L, resulting in an increase in the stress response of lobsters and a decrease in the feed conversion rate, usually < 1.8:1.

[0065] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.
[0066] Example I
[0067] This embodiment provides a method for rice paddy farming of Australian crayfish, including the following steps: Field engineering construction: (1) When the farming field does not involve mechanized operations, a shaped ring ditch layout is adopted:
[0068] A grid system consisting of main and secondary ditches was excavated in rectangular fields with an area of 2 ± 0.5 mu and a field width of ≤ 20 m. The main ditch has a trapezoidal cross-section with an upper width of 2.0 m, a lower width of 1.5 m, and a depth of 0.4 m. The secondary ditches are spaced 17 m apart and have a cross-section with an upper width of 1.5 m and a lower width of 1.0 m.
[0069] The field ridges were reinforced and renovated into trapezoidal sections with a slope ratio of 1:2, a top width of ≥0.6m, and a height of 0.8-1.0m;
[0070] (2) When mechanized operations are required in aquaculture fields, a ditchless, flat-bottomed layout should be adopted:
[0071] Standardized fields with an area of 10±2 mu and a field width of ≤20m were selected. The field embankment structure was optimized into a reinforced embankment with a slope ratio of 1:2, a top width of ≥0.6m, and a height of 1.2-1.5m.
[0072] Water inlet and drainage system configuration:
[0073] The inlet pipe is made of 110mm diameter PVC pipe, and the pipe end is equipped with a gate valve and a double-layer 100-mesh filter bag.
[0074] The drainage pipe uses 160mm diameter PVC pipe, with an 8-mesh steel wire mesh seal at the outlet end and a triple filter bag attached externally.
[0075] Construction of an escape prevention system:
[0076] A 1.2m high polyethylene escape-proof net is buried around the perimeter of the field ridge at a depth of 0.2m to form an underground fixed structure. The polyethylene escape-proof net is supported by a series of support rods to maintain its vertical position. The top of the support rods has an inward bend, so that the upper part of the polyethylene escape-proof net has an inward bend. The support rods and the polyethylene escape-proof net are connected by board straps.
[0077] Aquaculture Management:
[0078] The initial stocking density for the ring ditch method is 3,000 Australian lobster larvae with a size of 3cm per acre;
[0079] The initial stocking density for the ditchless method is 5,000 Australian lobster larvae with a size of 3cm per acre;
[0080] During the juvenile stage (weight less than 15 grams), feed them a special compound feed with a protein content of ≥36%, with a daily feeding amount of 8% of the shrimp's body weight, fed twice a day, in the morning and evening.
[0081] During the adult shrimp stage (weight greater than or equal to 15 grams), switch to maintenance feed with a protein content of ≥32%, reduce the daily feeding amount to 3-5% of the shrimp's body weight, and feed once in the evening.
[0082] Feeding amount is controlled by sampling and weighing method:
[0083] Every 15 days, 30-50 adult shrimp are randomly caught, weighed, and their average weight (W) is calculated.
[0084] Calculate the theoretical feeding amount by determining the current stocking density (N, fish / acre) and using the formula:
[0085] Daily feed amount (kg) = N × W × (3% − 5%) ÷ 1000
[0086] Example: If N=5000 fish / mu, W=20g, and a feeding rate of 4%, then the daily feeding amount = 5000×20×4%÷1000=4kg / mu.
[0087] When constructing the aforementioned field engineering projects, the following treatment measures were adopted for sandy soil fields and swampy geological areas respectively:
[0088] (1) For the sandy soil field, a clay sealing layer with a thickness of ≥0.3m is laid on the field surface, and a composite geomembrane is laid on the foundation of the field ridge for seepage prevention, and the joints are hot-melt welded; (2) For the swamp geological area, a diversion ditch around the field with a depth of 0.5m is excavated, and after the spring appears, it is sealed with C20 concrete to the impermeable layer.
[0089] The following water quality control measures were taken during the aquaculture management: (1) Basic disinfection was carried out 7 days before stocking, and quicklime was applied at a rate of 100 kg / mu to disinfect the field surface and ditches; (2) EM bacteria were introduced 3 days after disinfection at a rate of 5 L / mu, and then evenly sprinkled after activation; (3) 1 / 3 of the water was changed every 15 days to maintain a transparency of 30-50 cm, and the concentration of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite was tested monthly to ensure that ammonia nitrogen < 0.01 mg / L.
[0090] The detection method is as follows:
[0091] (1) Ammonia nitrogen detection kit (salicylic acid method), detection limit: 0.01 mg / L, the steps are as follows:
[0092] ① Take 50 mL of water sample, add reagent A (salicylic acid) and reagent B (sodium hypochlorite), and shake well;
[0093] ② Let it stand for 10 minutes and observe the color change;
[0094] ③ Compare with the standard color chart to read the ammonia nitrogen concentration.
[0095] (2) Nitrite detection kit: detection limit: 0.005 mg / L (as N), the operation steps are as follows
[0096] ① Take 1 mL of water sample, add reagent, and shake well;
[0097] ② Wait 1 minute, compare with the color chart, and read the nitrite concentration;
[0098] If ammonia nitrogen exceeds the standard (≥0.01mg / L): immediately start the aeration system to increase dissolved oxygen in the water, reduce the amount of feed by 20%, and add EM bacteria (5L / acre) to decompose organic matter. Change 1 / 3 of the water the next day and add fresh water.
[0099] If nitrite levels exceed the standard: check if the feed is overfed, adjust the daily feed amount to 3% of body weight, add nitrifying bacteria (2kg / acre) to accelerate nitrite conversion, increase water flow, and avoid stagnant water areas.
[0100] A crop rotation system is adopted when carrying out the aforementioned aquaculture management:
[0101] (1) Implement the "two shrimp and one rice" rotation model:
[0102] From October to March of the following year, cold-resistant red swamp crayfish are farmed, and from April to September of the same year, Australian freshwater crayfish are farmed.
[0103] October to March of the following year: Drain the water to a depth of 0.5m and release red swamp crayfish larvae at a density of 8,000 larvae per mu.
[0104] April-September: Fill the field with water to a depth of 0.8m to form a water layer for protection, release Australian freshwater crayfish larvae, and simultaneously transplant rice seedlings (variety: hybrid rice, row spacing 30cm). The density of Australian freshwater crayfish larvae is 3000 per mu in the ring-ditch method and 5000 per mu in the non-ditch method.
