Analysis of the Prospects for Turbot Farming and Key Technical Points for Farming

Friends who love eating fish should be quite familiar with turbot. As a type of sea fish, turbot generally lives in relatively cold seas. Turbot sells at a high price, yet plenty of people buy it, because it has high nutritional value, and after steaming and drizzling with seasoned oil it becomes extremely delicious, and the flesh is also very delicate. Now turbot farming technology has gradually matured, so are you clear about the prospects for farming turbot and the farming technology?

I. Prospects for Turbot Farming

1. Farming prospects

The reason turbot is priced higher than ordinary fish is that its own nutritional value is higher. It not only helps build up physical fitness but also has a supporting effect on beauty for the human body, and eating more turbot will gradually improve your physique. So the farming prospects are still quite considerable. Now that everyone's living standards are constantly rising, buying a turbot is no longer a luxury purchase.

2. Farming returns

Now that we understand the farming prospects, let's talk about farming returns. There are three ways to farm turbot: one is using ponds, one is cage farming, and there is also greenhouse farming. Pond farming returns are relatively ordinary; calculated per mu, the income is generally around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan; for cage farming it mainly depends on which kind of cage you choose, as there are pond cages and sea-area cages, with returns of around 30,000 yuan or less. Greenhouse farming currently has the highest returns; calculated per square meter, over the entire harvest period the income can range from several hundred thousand yuan.

II. Turbot Farming Technology

1. Water quality control

To farm turbot we first need to understand the overall control of water quality. As a cold-water fish, turbot is not suited to living in a relatively warm environment, so water temperature is crucial. It is recommended that you control the ambient temperature between 10-23°C according to the weather. Too low or too high a temperature may cause turbot to die.

2. Selecting and buying fry

Choosing good fry is a guarantee of future quality. When selecting turbot fry, you should buy from a legitimate store, and not go to a third party to purchase them just to save a little money. During the selection process, pay attention to the health of the fry; generally the fish body should not be too dull in color, as such fry are very troublesome to raise later, and many of them carry diseases themselves.

3. Farming density

The farming density for turbot currently still has to be judged according to the growth stage and the scale of farming; too high a farming density is inconvenient for later management. As the turbot keeps growing, you must take future development into account and not divide the density based only on the small fry. Only by controlling the density well can you reduce the risks of farming to the minimum.        

4. Disease prevention and control

No matter which kind of fish it is, once it has grown to a certain stage, various disease problems will appear. Because of rising water temperature and changes in environmental temperature differences, diseases will follow. You should pay more attention to daily hygiene and carry out disinfection in a timely manner. When disease occurs, you must change the water in time and isolate the sick turbot for a period, so as not to affect the other fish.

That is all Tuliu Network has to introduce about turbot today. Farming turbot is still very profitable now, and interested friends can give it a try, but the conditions for artificial farming must be carefully referenced and you must not act blindly.
