How to Raise Walking Catfish: Pig Manure-Based Walking Catfish Farming Techniques

AbstractPond: The pond base should be solid, with no seepage, sufficient water volume, good water quality, and a somewhat larger area. Disinfection: Before stocking, drain the pond water and sun-dry it for about 3-5 days, then thoroughly disinfect the pond with quicklime. Mode: Walking catfish can live normally in low-oxygen water bodies, so the high-density monoculture pond model is very suitable.

Walking catfish is an edible fish, it can be eaten, and many people like to eat it. But how do you raise walking catfish? The editor really does not know, having only eaten it in restaurants and never actually raised it. Many people must be curious about this fish, so let the editor introduce how to raise walking catfish. Let's take a look.

How to Raise Walking Catfish

1. Walking catfish does not have strict requirements for the pond. In a fish pond, as long as the pond base is solid, with no seepage, it can be used as a monoculture pond for walking catfish after modification. The pond's water source requires sufficient water volume, good water quality, and a somewhat larger area.

2. Preparations must be made before stocking, such as for the pond water. Before the fry are stocked, first drain the pond water and sun-dry it for 3--5 days, then after simple repairs, be sure to thoroughly disinfect the pond with quicklime. Accurately calculate the dosage as 50--75 kg per 0.067 hectares, then add water to slake it into a slurry and splash it evenly over the whole pond.

3. Walking catfish is born with accessory respiratory organs and can live normally in low-oxygen water bodies, so the high-density monoculture pond model is very suitable. The individual fry to be stocked should all be over 6.5 cm, which can avoid cannibalism within the species. Raising walking catfish has some advantages: low investment and simple techniques. Walking catfish grows fast and is very easy to raise.

Pig Manure-Based Walking Catfish Farming Techniques

1. Common fish species raised with pig manure include the four major Chinese carps. The local walking catfish has high economic value, tolerates hypoxia, and is suitable for high-density farming, making it the first choice for scientific integrated planting and raising. The size of the stocked walking catfish fry should be over 4 cm to ensure the survival rate of the fry, so that the expected finished fish yield can be achieved.

2. The local walking catfish is an omnivorous fish mainly feeding on animal-based bait. It can be fed minced small fish every day, with some pellet feed added as well, because this can reduce feed costs. If these are not available, you can feed only special feed for walking catfish.

After reading the above introduction, have you all learned how to raise walking catfish? The editor thinks walking catfish is not difficult to raise; the main thing is the method. Previously, I saw someone raising fish with pig manure. Although it sounds a bit disgusting, this is the mystery of nature.
