Sharing Experience in Feeding and Managing Thrush Birds
Thrushes can be kept as nestlings or adults, but adults are harder to tame and train, so most enthusiasts prefer to keep nestlings. Thrushes are classified by age into four types: nestling, soft-feathered, full-feathered, and old-feathered. A nestling is a young bird that has just hatched and has not yet left the nest; once the nestling

Sharing Daily Management Experience in Freshwater Pompano Farming
1. Bait varieties One type is directly fed with Northeast soybeans. The other type is fed with pellet feed, with a protein content of more than 32%; the later-stage feed should increase the fat content. 2. Feeding method The feeding method for soybeans is to inspect the pond more than three times a day and add more as soon as they are eaten, with the daily feeding amount based on the principle that it is eaten within 24 hours. Pellet feed is fed with a feeder. After the fingerlings are stocked, sufficient bait should be fed according to conditions such as weather and water temperature. Especially in June, when the water temperature rises and the fish gain weight, the feeding amount should be increased at the right time. The feeding amount should be controlled on the principle that the fish are full and no fish are competing for feed in front of the feeder. 3. Daily management After the fingerlings are stocked, pay attention to changes in water quality. In the early stage, add water once every half month. In June, the fish eat more and excrete more, and water quality is prone to deterioration, so add water once a week, 20 cm each time, and keep the pond water color "fertile, lively, tender, and refreshing." Start the aerator at the right time. In the later stage, the fish load in the pond increases. When the weather changes, start the aerator early to prevent fish from gulping air at the surface. Patrol the pond frequently and inspect frequently so as to discover problems in time and understand the fish's feeding situation. 4. Fish disease prevention and control In the mixed-culture pond, on April 25, before stocking freshwater pompano, kill parasites and disinfect. The main disease during the farming process is enteritis. Soaking soybeans in florfenicol or mixing it into pellet feed and feeding for three days can take effect. 5. Harvest Freshwater pompano is easy to catch. With the first seine haul, 90% of the pond can be caught, and after two more seine hauls, the pond can basically be caught clean.

Key Technical Points and Experience Sharing on Rotational Culture of Mandarin Fish and Freshwater Shrimp
Mandarin fish and freshwater shrimp are both currently popular species on the market, with large demand, high prices and high farming returns. Implementing rotational culture of mandarin fish and freshwater shrimp in ponds can maximize the use of the pond's idle period, fully utilize the water body and feed resources, increase output, and substantially raise pond

Experience sharing on self-breeding live bait for mandarin fish farming
Last year, the mandarin fish farming area in Wujiang City exceeded 10,000 mu. Zhang Qifang, a skilled mandarin fish farmer at the Sixth Branch of the East Taihu Aquaculture General Farm, farmed 20 mu of mandarin fish in 1999, with 83.5 mu of supporting ponds (of which 44 mu were used for restocking oriental river prawns), achieving a mandarin fish yield of 613 kg per mu and a per-mu profit of 3,163 yuan. Mandarin fish alone

How to polyculture mandarin fish for a high survival rate? Practical methods shared
Mandarin fish is a typical carnivorous fish that only eats live fish and live shrimp. Raising mandarin fish alone requires supporting the culture of forage fish, and the technical requirements are high. If mandarin fish are polycultured in adult fish ponds, the water body can be fully utilized and wild trash fish in the adult fish ponds can be cleared out. In recent years, some farmers have reported

Experience Sharing on Rotational Culture of Giant Freshwater Prawn and Mandarin Fish
Macrobrachium rosenbergii is not tolerant of low temperatures. In late autumn and early winter, when the water temperature drops to 15°C, the pond must be drained and the prawns harvested for market in a timely manner. In this way, the Macrobrachium rosenbergii culture pond is actually only utilized for half a year (May to October). Mandarin fish do not completely stop feeding in winter and continue to grow, only with reduced feeding intensity and growth rate.

How to Raise Koi and Black Carp Together? Practical Experience Shared
In order to fully tap the production potential of the water body, adult fish farming mostly adopts polyculture, dense stocking and rotational culture. If carp is polycultured in the same pond with black carp, because feed is easy to obtain, it grows both fast and well. The commonly used ratio is for every 1 kg of black carp fingerlings stocked, stock 2~4 carp with a total length of about 13 cm

Sharing Experience in Micro-Cage Culture of Yellow Catfish
Setting up micro-cages in ponds used for culturing other aquatic products to raise yellow catfish requires little investment, yields quick results, and is easy to operate. Cage setup. The cage is sewn from polyethylene netting, 2 m long, 2 m wide, and 1.2 m high, with a mesh size of 1 cm. The cage uses a closed stretcher floating-fixed type, with a 9-mesh net cloth as a cushion layer at the bottom; the cushion layer edge is 20 cm high to reduce feed loss, and the upper part of the cage rises about 30 cm above the water surface. A square plastic basket made of 18-mesh polyethylene window screen, 10 cm high and 30 cm on each side, is used as a feeding platform and placed in the middle of the cage body, one per cage. The cages are set at the water inlet of the fish pond, and 1-3 cages can be placed per mu of fish pond. The cages can also be set in open waters with fresh water quality, sufficient dissolved oxygen, shelter from wind and sun, and no pollution, arranged in a straight line, with a cage spacing of 4 m and a row spacing of about 10 m. Water hyacinth or alligator weed is transplanted inside the cage to cover about 2/3 of the cage area.</p><p></p><p>Fingerling stocking. The cages are put into the water 1-2 weeks before fingerling stocking. The fingerlings are required to be disease-free and injury-free, robust, and uniform in size. Stock 100-150 large-size fingerlings weighing about 20 g each per square meter.</p><p>Feeding management.</p><p>① Feeding: Common feeds include small miscellaneous fish, snail and clam meat, earthworms, silkworm pupae, livestock and poultry viscera, and animal blood, etc. Feed according to the principles of fixed time, fixed location, fixed quality, and fixed quantity to ensure the yellow catfish eat enough and eat well and grow quickly.</p><p>② Water management: Keep the water quality fresh and the dissolved oxygen sufficient. Observe the fish activity every day, check whether the cage is damaged, remove sick and dead fish from the cage, and keep the water body inside the cage clean. Clean the cage once a week to ensure normal exchange of water inside and outside the cage, and adjust the height of the cage in time when the water level changes.</p><p>Disease prevention and control. Soak the cage in bleaching powder solution for 30 minutes before it enters the water; soak the fish body in salt solution before the fingerlings enter the cage to kill pathogens and parasites on the body surface; splash quicklime water over the whole cage for disinfection once every 10-15 days; regularly hang bags of copper sulfate and ferrous sulfate mixture; about every 20 days, make medicated bait with antibiotics and feed continuously for 2-3 days. Through the above measures, fish diseases can be prevented during the culture cycle.</p>
