The conditions for mandarin fish farming are relatively special, as this fish has a specific set of needs for the environment in which it lives.
1. Fish pond conditions.
Mandarin fish is a demersal fish that is Xi used to live in rivers, lakes and other places where the water flows slowly. Therefore, when choosing a fish pond, it is essential to ensure that there is an abundance of aquatic grasses at the bottom, which not only provides food for the mandarin fish**, but also provides an ideal habitat for them to inhabit and breed. It is important to note that mandarin fish usually come out at night to feed, and during the day they prefer to rest underwater. Therefore, water quality management in fish ponds is particularly crucial.
In addition, the design of the fish pond is also quite exquisite. The ideal mandarin fish pond should have a certain flow of water characteristics, while the dead pond is not very suitable. Running water not only brings fresh oxygen, but also helps maintain the ecological balance of the fish pond and prevents the deterioration of water quality. If not properly managed, it can lead to the death of mandarin fish in a large area, bringing huge economic losses to farmers.
Second, the water source conditions.
When farming mandarin fish, the quality and quantity of water are critical. First of all, the water source must be kept away from any possible sources of pollution, such as industrial wastewater, agricultural discharge, etc., to ensure that the water quality is clean and clear. Secondly, water temperature is also a factor to keep an eye on. Mandarin fish are well adapted to water temperature, but high or low water temperatures can affect their growth rate and health. Therefore, when choosing a water source, farmers need to test and evaluate it in detail.
3. Feed preparation.
Mandarin fish is a carnivorous fish, so it has high feed requirements. In order to meet the needs of their growth and reproduction, farmers usually need to prepare sufficient live bait such as small fish, small shrimp and small loaches. In addition, some insects, such as earthworms, mealworms, bloodworms, etc., are also high-protein feeds preferred by mandarin fish. These feeds must be reliable and of high quality to ensure that the mandarin fish receive a balanced diet.
Fourth, feeding management.
In terms of feeding management, farmers need to formulate a detailed feeding plan and feed them reasonably according to the growth stage and feeding Xi habits of mandarin fish. At the same time, water quality management is key. Regularly test the dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen, pH value and other indicators in the fish pond to ensure that the water quality is within the appropriate range. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the biome structure in the fish pond and reasonably match other fish and plants to maintain the ecological balance.
5. Disease prevention and control.
Mandarin fish may encounter various disease problems during the breeding process. Among them, bacterial gill rot is a common disease, which is mainly caused by deterioration of water quality or improper feeding. To prevent the disease, farmers need to regularly disinfect their fish ponds and improve water quality. In addition, parasitic diseases such as wheel worms, oblique tube worms, and ring worms are also common enemies of mandarin fish. For these diseases, drugs can be used to prevent and treat them, but prevention is key. The risk of disease can be effectively reduced by strengthening feeding management, keeping water clean and maintaining a suitable water temperature.
