Detailed Explanation of Key Points and Methods for Paddlefish Breeding Technology

In May of this year, the paddlefish fry (about 15 cm) supplied to a customer were harvested yesterday with great success (each fish weighing at least 1.5 jin).

Now I will briefly explain the breeding technology: The scientific name of the paddlefish is Polyodon spathula; it is also called the white paddlefish; paddlefish sturgeon.

Paddlefish Breeding Technology

1: It has a wide temperature tolerance range. It is not afraid of low temperatures and can also endure high temperatures. In winter, even if the water surface freezes, as long as there is still sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water, it can live in the water beneath the ice; in summer, when the surface water temperature of the pond often exceeds 35°C, it can still grow normally!

2: Fast growth. Paddlefish is one of the fastest-growing freshwater fish species. Fry hatched in the same year, when raised until the end of the year, can reach 1.5 jin per fish (in monoculture). In polyculture, they can reach over 2 jin!

3: Low feed requirement. It mainly feeds on zooplankton, so no separate feeding is needed in polyculture. In monoculture, the feed conversion ratio will not exceed 1.3:1.

4: Easy to harvest. Its habits are similar to those of the bighead carp, and it is not good at jumping. The catch rate in the first netting is over 90%!

5: Few diseases. Only parasitic issues. So far, no significant disease problems have appeared!
