Key Points for Crab Disease Prevention and Control in June
(Agricultural Wealth Network)     After June, the high-temperature season gradually sets in, the crab pond environment begins to change, and bacterial diseases of crabs start to occur along with it. According to surveys, stocking densities are relatively high in all areas, and water quality is polluted in many places, conditions for water exchange are poor, and in addition, people do not pay much attention to the use of medicated feed, so cases of black gill disease, rotten gill disease, incomplete molting disease, and ammonia nitrogen poisoning will appear in large numbers. In response to this situation, the following preventive measures should be taken to reduce losses:

    1. Regularly splash Bacillus bacteria strains, water-protecting probiotics, pond bottom cleaner, Nitrifying No. 1 and other live bacteria to keep the water clean and the bottom substrate clean. Generally use once every half a month, which can reduce the incidence of diseases caused by poor water quality and bottom substrate (such as rotten gill disease, black gill disease, ciliate disease, etc.).

    2. Strengthen the addition of oral medicines (especially Chinese herbal medicines) to the bait. Every half a month, use Wei Mian + Jinfang Liver Protection Treasure + Duo Xiao Kang Du (or yogurt bacteria freeze-dried agent + Jin Wei An + shrimp and crab rapid growth), each group mixed with 100 jin of fish or feed. It can also be processed into noodles for feeding, which can effectively reduce the incidence of enteritis, liver necrosis, etc.

    3. If small fish are used to feed crabs, the small fish should be soaked and disinfected with You Dian before being fed to the crabs. The specific dosage is: for every 100 jin of fish, use 1-2 bottle caps of You Dian dissolved in water and soak for 5 minutes, which can greatly reduce the incidence of enteritis, rotten claw disease, etc.

    4. Regularly test water quality, once every 7-10 days. If ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, etc. exceed the standard, use water-protecting probiotics (or Bacillus bacteria strains) and Nitrifying No. 1 dissolved in water and splash over the whole pond.

    If disease occurs, refer to the following treatment plans for targeted prevention and control:

    (1) Ciliate disease

    Symptoms: A large number of crabs can be seen coming ashore or climbing to the bank. The body surface of diseased crabs is covered with many brown or yellow-green down-like filaments, movement is slow, the crabs cannot molt, and they often die in large numbers within a few days.

    Prevention and control methods:

    (1) Exchange 1/3 of the water or add fresh water to keep the water fresh;

    (2) Use anhydrous zinc sulfate 0.4-0.5 g/cubic meter dissolved in water and splash over the whole pond. For severe cases, use once more after 2 days;

    (3) On the 2nd day after mass molting of crabs, use water-protecting probiotics dissolved in water and splash over the whole pond, or directly dry-spread pond bottom cleaner, to maintain good water quality and bottom substrate, which can effectively prevent reinfection or secondary infection.

    (2) Rotten gill disease and black gill disease

    Symptoms: The gills turn black and necrotic, the abdomen and appendages rot, activity is slow, food intake decreases, the crab comes ashore and spits bubbles, breathing is difficult, and in the late stage of the disease there is mass death.

    Prevention and control methods:

    (1) Splash Wei Mian over the whole pond (each bag for 2-3 mu) to disinfect the water body;

    (2) Use "Bai Ke + Wei Mian + shrimp and crab rapid growth", each group mixed with 80 jin of fish or feed, for 3-5 consecutive days, which can effectively eliminate symptoms;

    (3) Edema disease

    Symptoms: The abdomen, abdominal flap and lower part of the back shell are swollen and transparent, the gill filaments are edematous, and water flows out under light pressure. Diseased crabs lie prone on the bank, stop feeding, and finally die in shallow water.

    Prevention and control methods:

    (1) Soak Duo Xiao Kang Du dissolved in water for 2 hours, then splash over the whole pond at 2-3 mu per bag;

    (2) Use "Bai Ke + Pu Le + Wei Mian + Jin Wei An", each group mixed with 100 jin of feed or fish, with 3-5 days as one treatment course.

    (5) Incomplete molting disease

    Symptoms: A crack appears at the junction between the rear edge of the back shell and the abdomen of diseased crabs. When the back shell is opened, a black new shell can be seen. Because the old shell cannot be shed, mass death occurs.

    Prevention and control methods:

    (1) Use shrimp and crab rapid growth, each bag for 2 mu-meters, dissolved in water and soaked for 2 hours, then splash over the whole pond;

    (2) At the same time, add "Wei Mian + Jinfang Liver Protection Treasure + Pu Le" to the feed, each group for 100 jin of processed feed, and feed continuously for 3-5 days.

    (3) On the 3rd day, splash calcium-supplementing bright shell treasure to supplement calcium ions in the water body, improve water quality, and keep the water fresh.

    (6) Shell ulcer disease

    Symptoms: The body surface of diseased crabs has dot-like red spots resembling rust, some crabs also have a blackened abdomen, stop feeding, and in severe cases die in large numbers.

    Prevention and control methods:

    (1) Splash "Duo Xiao Kang Du" over the whole pond, each bag for 2 mu-meters, once every half a month for prevention;

    (2) After three days, splash "Detoxification and Anti-Stress Essence Liquid" over the whole pond to reduce heavy metal ions in the pond;

    (3) At the same time, orally administer "Pu Le" (80 jin of feed/bottle) for 3-5 days, doubling the dosage on the first use.
