The invention discloses a co-cultivation method of large-scaled paraloach and mandarin fish seedlings, and belongs to the field of
freshwater fish seedling cultivation. The operation steps are as follows: 1. preparing a cultivation pond, 2. inducing spawning and
hatching of mandarin fish, 3. matching breeding of large-scaled paraloach, and 4. co-cultivation of large-scaled paraloach seedlings and mandarin fish seedlings. The invention utilizes the characteristics of large-scaled paraloach that the breeding cycle is long, high-density cultivation is possible, and it is rich in
nutrition to co-cultivate large-scaled paraloach seedlings and mandarin fish seedlings; the unique horizontal swimming period and morphological characteristics of large-scaled paraloach seedlings are easy to be preyed on and digested by mandarin fish seedlings, which can improve the
survival rate of mandarin fish seedlings during the opening period; large-scaled paraloach seedlings are rich in
nutrition and high in
protein content, which promotes the rapid growth of mandarin fish seedlings, and are high-quality bait fish for mandarin fish fry to open. The invention supplies a sufficient amount of palatable bait fish when the mandarin fish opens its mouth, avoids daily catching of
silver carp, bream and other fry to feed the mandarin fish fry, saves the heavy
workload of manually catching bait fish fry, creatively prolongs the breeding cycle of the mandarin fish fry, and greatly increases the annual output of the mandarin fish fry.
