What are the precautions for raising longsnout catfish? The key points explained clearly in one article

The longsnout catfish is also called the catfish mouse, belongs to the genus Leiocassis, and some people also call it the long-snouted catfish. At present, the main production areas of longsnout catfish in China are Liaoning, the Huai River, and the Yangtze River. The meat of the longsnout catfish is delicate and tender, rich in protein, and it is a precious nourishing aquatic product. In order for longsnout catfish to appear on more people's dining tables, the artificial breeding technology of longsnout catfish has also made great progress, so what issues need attention when raising longsnout catfish? Follow the editor below to take a look at the precautions for raising it.

1. Pond cleaning

Cleaning the pond is very important. Many farmers fail to pay attention to pond cleaning, which leads to large-scale fish floating after the fry are stocked. When we raise longsnout catfish, about ten to fifteen days before stocking the fry, we should remove the silt from the pond, then use quicklime or microbial preparation bottom-improving products for disinfection. After at least seven days of pond drying, inject new water and wait for the fry to be stocked.

2. Fry stocking

Longsnout catfish fry should be purchased through regular channels. Before the fry are stocked, the fry should be disinfected. Second, generally only about one thousand longsnout catfish can be stocked per mu. In order to regulate water quality and enable the longsnout catfish to survive better, we had best use multiple varieties of fry for mixed culture. Generally, silver carp, bighead carp, mandarin fish, bass, etc. are used. Never stock predatory fish such as carp and grass carp, so as to avoid unnecessary harm to the longsnout catfish.

3. Water quality regulation

Longsnout catfish have very high requirements for water quality. When changing water is relatively convenient, it is best to change the water frequently. Each water change replaces two-thirds of it, and we also need to retain part of the old water, mainly so that appropriate plankton exists in the pond for the longsnout catfish to prey on. Second, when not changing the water, we can put oxygen-increasing agents and other microbial water quality improvement products into the water to regulate the water quality. The effect is also very good, but the cost will be greater than changing the water.

4. Daily management

Routine management is also something we need to pay special attention to when raising longsnout catfish. It mainly includes pond cleaning and disinfection, escape prevention, cleaning up food residue, and recording the longsnout catfish's daily feeding, movement, etc., and making timely handling based on these. Pond cleaning and disinfection are generally carried out once every half month, and food residue can be cleaned up about one hour after each feeding.

5. Standardized medication

Many farmers are very non-standard in medication when raising longsnout catfish. When abnormalities are found in longsnout catfish, they use medication casually without diagnosis, which will trigger other diseases and lead to an irreversible situation. Also, in ordinary feeding, in order to enhance the resistance of longsnout catfish, the amount of antibiotics added to the feed is non-standard, leading to adverse reactions and even death. Therefore, we need specialized fish disease prevention technology so that we can make correct handling.
