3. How should the bighead carp be farmed?

For bighead carp farmers, how to farm it is a matter related to subsequent issues such as yield and quality, so it is crucial. The farming techniques for the bighead carp are introduced below:

1. Establishment of the bighead carp farming pond

The size of the bighead carp farming pond or farming pool is mainly determined according to the scale of farming, but it should be noted that the water depth of the farming pond is best over two meters, and organic fertilizer (decomposed animal manure and cake fertilizer are both fine) should be applied before stocking the fry.

2. Stocking and growth of bighead carp fry

Because the bighead carp grows relatively fast, individuals of more than 10 kg can usually be seen in natural water bodies such as rivers and lakes. It is suitable for farming in fertile ponds. Under conditions of sufficient feed, 1-year-old fish can weigh up to 0.8-1 kg. Therefore, basically, selecting robust and disease-free bighead carp fry for monoculture or mixed culture is fine, and summer is the best time for stocking; if you want to carry out mixed culture to improve economic benefits, you can choose carp and silver carp to be mixed-cultured with the bighead carp.

3. Feed delivery for the bighead carp

Since the bighead carp mainly feeds on plankton in the pond, attention should be paid to the content of nutrient elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium in the pond to ensure the fertility of the water quality; in addition, palatable zooplankton and suitable algae can be appropriately cultivated to supply the bighead carp.

4. Disease prevention and control of the bighead carp

During the farming process, the bighead carp is easily attacked by diseases such as saprolegniasis, which occurs throughout the year, with more cases in summer and autumn, so patrols of the pond must usually be strengthened, and internal and external medicines should be used early to prevent and control diseases for the bighead carp, reducing losses as much as possible.
