How much profit is there in mandarin fish farming? Feed accounts for 80% and is the biggest cost
SummaryBased on farming one mu of mandarin fish, the profit is about 20,000 yuan. Mandarin fish farming is mainly divided into three types: early gui, middle gui and late gui. The price of early gui is about 40 yuan per jin, and the profit per mu is about 20,000 yuan. The price of middle gui is about 35 yuan per jin, and the profit per mu is about 17,500 yuan. The price of late gui is about 50 yuan per jin, and the profit per mu is about 25,000 yuan. Feed is the largest input in the mandarin fish farming process, accounting for more than 80%.
Mandarin fish farming is mainly divided into early gui, middle gui and late gui. Early gui is usually stocked with fry at the end of March or the beginning of April and the fish are sold from August to September; middle gui is usually stocked with fry from May to July and the fish are sold from October to December; late gui is usually stocked with fry from August to September and the fish are sold from April to August of the following year.
The cost of farming mandarin fish
The cost of mandarin fish farming includes buying seedlings, buying bait fish, renting the site, farming tools and so on. Only by choosing high-quality seedlings can relatively high-quality mandarin fish be raised and economic returns be increased. The price of mandarin fish also varies depending on the time period.
Generally, fry are about 3-10 cm. Early mandarin fish are about 0.2-0.25 yuan per cm, while middle and late mandarin fish are about 0.13-0.15 yuan per cm. During the farming period, early mandarin fish should be stocked with fry in April, with about 2,000 seedlings per mu; middle gui should be stocked with fry around June, with about 4,000 per mu; late gui should be stocked with fry around September, with about 5,000 seedlings per mu.
Among these, the largest farming cost is the input of bait fish. If the cost of bait fish can be kept low, then the farming profit of mandarin fish will be higher. Because the bait fed to bait fish on the market is different, the meat quality and quality are also different. At present, about five jin of bait fish are needed for one jin of mandarin fish on the market, and some farmers feed mandarin fish with Haid dace roe fry, which can reduce the cost per jin of mandarin fish by about four yuan.
The profit of farming mandarin fish
Early gui: The price of early gui is relatively high, but it must be sold before September to fetch a high price. The price is generally about forty yuan per jin, so the key with early gui is to stock fry early and keep the density a little lower, about 2,000 per mu or so. Lower density can increase yield, and the profit per mu can reach about twenty thousand yuan.
Middle gui: Middle gui has the lowest price of the three, stable at about thirty-five yuan. If you prepare the bait fish for farming yourself, the cost will decrease a lot. Stock the fry early. The important thing in farming middle gui is to reduce costs, and the profit per mu can reach about seventeen thousand five hundred yuan.
Late gui: Late gui is the most expensive of the three, with a price of about fifty yuan, but the farming time for late gui is relatively long, so the cost will be relatively high, and it can easily lead to poor constitution of the mandarin fish and a high probability of infection with diseases. Therefore, during late gui farming, daily management should be paid more attention than usual. Under normal circumstances, the profit per mu can reach about twenty-five thousand yuan.
Several points to note in daily management
1. Disease prevention and control. The incidence frequency of mandarin fish is actually not very high. The more influential ones mainly include water quality diseases, rotten gills, hemorrhagic disease, enteritis and so on. Among these, viral diseases are relatively harmful, so attention should be paid to prevention to ensure the quality of the mandarin fish.
2. Inspection tours. Patrol the pond frequently to observe whether there are dead fish, and scoop them out and sell them in time, because dead mandarin fish can also be sold, only the price is half that of live mandarin fish. Observe whether the amount of bait fish is sufficient and whether the mandarin fish are active.
3. Water quality management. Because mandarin fish have relatively high requirements for the water quality environment, common water quality issues include high ammonia nitrogen, cloudy water, high nitrite and so on. The water quality environment should be treated in time so that the mandarin fish can grow normally and healthily.
