I. How to farm grass shrimp

1. Farm site

Choose flat terrain and a good water source, and make sure there are no polluting factories nearby. The pond area should preferably be 5-8 mu, with the water level at about 2 m. The pond should be equipped with 2-3 aerators to avoid excessively low dissolved oxygen during farming, which can cause fish to gasp at the surface and the pond to fail.

2. Shrimp fry

Choose shrimp fry with relatively strong mobility and relatively strong growth vigor.

3. Releasing the fry

When releasing the fry, pay attention to the weather. Choose 9 a.m. on a sunny day or when the sun sets in the afternoon, and do not do it at noon. When releasing the fry, try to do so in a wind-sheltered place, and never release the fry in a windward spot or in shallow water. The stocking density is generally controlled at 8,000-12,000 fry per mu, and the number of shrimp fry can also be increased according to the actual conditions of the pond.

4. Water quality requirements

The water color transparency is required to be between 25-35 cm. Once the water color transparency is lower than 20 cm, change the water in time.

5. Disease and pest control

In the early stage, use Shadu Ling to disinfect once every 15 days; in the middle stage, disinfect once every 10 days; in the later stage, disinfect once every 7 days. Disinfect in time after strong winds and heavy rain, and disinfect in time when water quality becomes abnormal.
