Also, which month is the most suitable for buying crayfish fry?
1. Which month is better for buying crayfish fry?
1. Early February is the most suitable time to buy crayfish fry
The peak market season for crayfish is June to August every year, so considering the growth habits and patterns of crayfish, the best time for farmers to buy crayfish fry is the beginning of each year, that is, around the first half of February. Of course, some crayfish species are better maintained and have already begun producing crayfish fry successively starting in October, so everyone can also choose the time to buy fry according to their own actual situation.
2. How should crayfish fry be selected?
If you want the crayfish raised that year to be both high-yield and good-quality, the fry stage is very critical. Below are the key points for selecting crayfish fry, for everyone's reference.
(1) Fry size specifications: when buying crayfish fry, buy those with a body length above 3.5 cm, and choose fry of the same size specification, so as to ensure they are at the same developmental stage.
(2) Fry color: high-quality crayfish fry generally have relatively pure color and consistent body color depth.
(3) Fry feel: choose fry that feel rough to the touch, as they are easier to survive, and in terms of weight it is best if each one is between 10-15 grams.
(4) Fry mobility: the selected crayfish fry can be placed in a cage to see whether they quickly crawl away to the surroundings and whether their movements are agile.
2. How much is the wholesale price of crayfish fry per jin?
Nowadays, crayfish are basically raised by buying fry from crayfish nursery bases. Compared with wild crayfish fry, the price is somewhat more expensive, but they grow quickly, have strong constitutions, have neat fry specifications, and have a relatively high survival rate. Therefore, it is more recommended to buy base fry rather than wild fry; the latter not only has a lower survival rate, but is also harder to manage during the farming process and is prone to disease.
Considering factors such as specifications and quality, crayfish fry raised in bases are generally around 5-15 yuan/jin. If it is a pond you dug yourself, it is recommended to stock about 80—150 jin of fry per mu.
Warm reminder:
When buying crayfish fry, everyone had best follow the “proximity principle”, meaning the closer to the crayfish pond the better. On the one hand, this way the fry more easily adapt to the new living environment and grow faster and stronger; on the other hand, long-distance transport of fry will reduce the survival rate of the fry.
