Spoon-nosed Sturgeon, which is called duckbill fish by many people, originated in the United States. Our country carries on the management according to the national second-level priority protection of aquatic wild animals. However, due to the opening of aquaculture in recent years, platypus was originally a second-class protected animal in China, and it is not illegal for restaurants to sell farmed fish.

It is understood that the spoon-nosed Sturgeon, native to the Mississippi River Basin in the United States, is a large freshwater economic fish that has lived on the earth since 300 million years ago (that is, during the dinosaur period). It is one of the only two species of Acipenser in the world. Together with the Chinese Sturgeon and the White Sturgeon in the Yangtze River, it belongs to the family Sturgeon of the order Sturgeon.

Duck-billed fish with strong adaptability, rapid growth, docile temperament and short food chain is the only fish that feeds on zooplankton among all Sturgeon. Its bait comes from a wide range of sources, and is easy to raise and catch, so it is suitable for aquaculture in reservoirs, lakes and ponds.

Feeding method

1. Platypus fish have a wide range of suitable temperature. Not only not afraid of low temperature, but also able to withstand high temperature. In winter, even if the water surface freezes, as long as there is enough dissolved oxygen in the water, it can live in the water under the ice; in summer, the surface temperature of the pond tends to exceed 35 °C, it can still grow normally.

2. Growing fast. Platypus is one of the fastest growing freshwater fish. The fish fry hatched in that year can reach 1.5 jin each by the end of the year. Captive culture can reach more than 2 jin.

3. Feed saving. It mainly eats zooplankton and does not need to be fed separately in captivity. If exclusive cultivation, the feed ratio will not exceed 1.3 per cent.

4. Easy to catch. Its habit is similar to that of silver carp and is not good at jumping. The arrest rate of the first net is more than 90%.

5. The disease is less. Mainly parasites. No illness has occurred so far.

How much is it per jin in the platypus market?
