How to Raise Bream? Detailed Explanation of Breeding Methods and Key Technical Points
Bream is a fish species unique to China, and wild varieties can be found everywhere in China. It is a herbivorous fish that also feeds on a small amount of lake-bottom plants and zooplankton. Bream has the effect of tonifying deficiency and dispelling wind, and has a notable effect on preventing diseases such as anemia and hypoglycemia. It is a food for the general public, and most people can eat it, as its flesh is delicious. It also has a relatively high fat content, and is one of the more common fish species in our daily lives. Now let's take a look together with the editor at how bream should be raised!
1. Stocking Preparation
When choosing a pond for stocking, choose one with an abundant water source and clean, clear water quality. Draining and changing water should be convenient, and no domestic sewage should be discharged into the pond. The pond bottom should have slightly sandy mud. The area is determined by the stocking quantity, and the pond water depth must not be less than 2 m. A small amount of silt or no silt is suitable. When preparing for stocking, spread quicklime over the entire pond, in order to kill potential pathogens and other wild small fish in the pond, reducing the incidence of disease and the occurrence of wild small fish competing for food. Then expose the pond to the sun for a week, inject clean water to at least one meter, and then stock the fry.
2. Fry Stocking
Choosing fry is also a relatively important step when breeding bream. First, choose small fry with no wounds on the surface, good growth, a robust constitution, and a plump body. Control the size at around 8-225px, soak them in salt water or potassium permanganate solution, and then put them into the pond. When breeding bream, the pond does not need to contain only bream; a small number of bighead carp, crucian carp, and others can be stocked for mixed rearing. Generally, the stocking density for one mu of pond is around 1,200 fish, then about 100 bighead carp and about 300 crucian carp are added. This can promote the good growth of bream.
3. Feeding Management
Bream is a fish species that greatly likes clean and clear water quality. The pond's water transparency should be maintained at around 30-1000px, with an appropriate amount of dissolved oxygen, and the PH value controlled at around 7. Because water quality easily becomes fertile when feeding feed, old water should be regularly pumped out and new water injected every week. Maintain the pond's water depth and clarity. Feed should be put in on schedule. The feed includes peanut bran, wheat bran, and green feed, etc. The specific feeding amount should be determined according to the weather and feeding situation each month. Generally, the feeding amount is increased from May to October.
3. Daily Management
A reasonable management technical system should be established every day, persist in inspections at least twice a day in the morning and evening, and observe the growth and feeding conditions of the fish school. When abnormal phenomena are found, corresponding response measures must be taken promptly, and the pond should be aerated at the appropriate time. Special attention should be paid to the weather, water quality, and their activity conditions. Avoid the phenomenon of fish gasping at the surface, ensure the pond water's depth and clarity, change the water at the appropriate time, and create a good growth environment for bream. Moreover, although bream has relatively strong disease resistance, prevention should still be the main approach. Doing a good job of pond clearing and fry disinfection before stocking can effectively reduce the incidence of fish diseases.
The above is a brief introduction to bream breeding. When raising bream, everyone cannot do it the same way as raising other domesticated fish. The breeding method for bream is different. Domesticated fish do not have very strict requirements for water quality, but bream is different. Bream needs very clean and clear water quality, so that bream can grow and develop better. Improve the flesh quality and enhance the commercial value. If you want to learn more related information, please continue to follow Qinnong Network!
