What aquaculture projects are there for rural entrepreneurship in 2017? Besides the traditional farming of the four major Chinese carps, what other aquaculture projects can be chosen for rural entrepreneurship?
1. Crabs
Artificial crab farming has a relatively long cycle; generally crab seedlings are introduced in April each year, and they are raised until December of that year to become button crabs, then in the 2nd year they are put into large ponds for farming, and they can be marketed around the Mid-Autumn Festival, taking about one year to one and a half years. When farming crabs in ponds, aquatic plants with good palatability should be planted at the bottom, such as hornwort, elodea, etc., and a fence made of film should be built around the perimeter to prevent the crabs from escaping, with a certain amount of wild miscellaneous fish and small fish fed regularly. The initial cost is generally about 2000 yuan per mu, and if everything goes smoothly, the profit is about 5000 yuan.
2. Shrimp
Shrimp has both edible and medicinal value, and its farming prospects are good. Freshwater farming of shrimp includes the farming of freshwater shrimp and the desalination farming of sea shrimp. The main varieties of freshwater shrimp farmed in our country are: Japanese swamp shrimp (green shrimp, river shrimp, and grass shrimp are all this one variety), giant freshwater prawn, and freshwater crayfish. Freshwater crayfish also includes red claw crayfish (Australian lobster), yabby, and red swamp crayfish (crayfish). The main variety for desalination farming of sea shrimp is the whiteleg shrimp.
3. Loach
Loach is a warm-water fish, suitable water temperature 10-30°C, widely distributed, and highly adaptable. It likes to inhabit the surface layer of bottom humus silt, eating plankton, small crustaceans, insects, aquatic plant debris, algae, etc., and sometimes also eats bottom humus. Loach has plump and delicious flesh and rich nutrition, and is a aquatic food favored by consumers; moreover, because it is easy to raise and the benefits are good, farming loach is very popular.
