What are the artificial abalone farming models? A detailed explanation of the common methods
Abalone is a very famous seafood product. More and more people like to eat abalone now, and because the high profitability of abalone has brought it a large market, it has attracted a great many large-scale farmers. Abalone farming is a very big project, and ordinary people simply cannot get it going without a certain level of technical know-how and capital costs. There are also many abalone farming models, several of them, so below the editor will introduce them to you one by one!
I. Undersea caisson-style farming
The undersea caisson-style farming model refers to placing abalone in boxes and sinking them to the seabed for farming. This model requires some extra tools and farming equipment. You can use steel-framed net cages that are two meters long and 80 cm high for farming. Of course, that is not the only kind of box; some people use another kind, which is a box with openings on top and on both sides. In the middle of the box there are many layers of horizontal partition boards, and there are cement troughs on the netting. It is sunk to the seabed for farming, and the feed is mainly kelp and seaweed. With this undersea caisson method, the growing environment is very stable, since it stays sunk on the seabed for a long time, and development is also very good, but the only drawback is that each feeding and routine management are relatively difficult.
II. Offshore raft-style farming
This farming method also requires some special containers and farming tools and equipment. It uses multi-layer abalone cages for farming. The size of this kind of cage is much smaller than the previous kind; smaller refers to its length. In fact, its height is very tall, nearly two meters high. The middle layers are made of some iron rods and plastic sleeves, and the distance between each layer is about 20 cm. Outside the cage there is a layer of netting with zippers. The advantage of this farming method is that management and feeding are very convenient, and the feed used is aquatic organisms such as kelp and seaweed.
III. Seaside enclosure pond-style farming
This kind of farming is carried out in the intertidal zone. Find a suitable location for farming and build a pond. After the enclosure pond is built, place stones inside the pond, then lay down some cement boards and other items so that the tiles have places to attach to. When building the pond, many water inlets and outlets must be set up, which can both drain and let in water. These openings serve as the entry and exit points for exchange between the seawater and the interior during high and low tides. The feed is mainly seaweed.
IV. Onshore artificial farming
1. There are 2 ways to farm on land. These ways are not in the sea. First, let us talk about multi-layer trough farming. This farming method mostly uses multi-layer long strip-shaped shallow troughs for farming. In addition, net screens and other equipment must be prepared for use together. The width and height of the troughs are kept at about half a meter, and the length can be between one meter and ten meters. This is decided according to farming density and farming volume. Seaweed can be chosen as the feed.
2. Plastic box farming in ponds also requires building ponds on land. Build the ponds with a larger area, then make the inner walls with cement. The plastic boxes use 40*30*12 abalone farming boxes, and then the boxes are arranged in rows, with an operation aisle in the middle of each row, which makes routine management and feeding convenient. Aeration must be carried out every day, and the feed is still seaweed or fresh kelp.
The above are the artificial abalone farming models. Did everyone understand them? These methods are respectively aimed at different situations. If the area where the farmer is located is not by the sea, the latter methods can be used. If the farmer has the conditions and is located by the sea, the former methods can be used, adapting to local conditions. To learn more related information, please continue to follow Qinnong Net!
