The invention relates to a method for culturing river crabs by utilizing the early breeding crab larvae, in particular to a method, by which the river crabs are cultured in a pond or other water areas and become large-size commercial crabs. The method is characterized in that the method comprises the steps of (1)
purchasing the early breeding crab larvae: the selection of the crab larvae
purchasing date, the selection of the crab larvae quality, and the transportation of the crab larvae; (2) culturing the early culturing crab larvae: the disinfection of the culture pond, the arrangement of the escape preventing fence, fertilization, water injection to the crab larvae pond, the cultivation of water grass, the
stocking of the early breeding crab
larva, and the feeding of artificial food; (3) controlling the
gonad development speed of crabs: the crabs getting through the summer artificially, the crabs getting through the winter and grow naturally, the
stocking of the crabs, the management of the crab larvae getting through the winter, the promotion of the river crab for exuviation and growth, and the culture and the harvesting of the river crab. The crabs, the
gonad of which is immature are cultured by utilizing the early breeding crab larvae produced at the beginning of December to the end of the April in the ensuing year; the growing period of the early breeding crab larvae can be prolonged, and the
sexual precocity can not happen; through the artificial over-summer and the natural over-winter technologies, the early breeding crab larvae can become the crabs for the river crab culture; the crabs cultured by utilizing the early breeding crab
larva can be cultured into the grown crab with the specification being 200 to 400g for each.
