The culture method of sea melon seed (Xunshi muscle clam)

Watermelon seeds, also known as Xunji muscle clams and thin shells, are shellfish seafood. They are rated as the most delicious seafood by gourmets. They are expensive and have rich economic value. In recent years, they have been artificially cultivated. Today, the editor will introduce to you the cultivation methods of watermelon seeds.

1. Culture conditions

Watermelon seed culture is generally carried out in coastal areas, when breeding, it is necessary to choose areas where the wind and waves are relatively small and the current is relatively slow, followed by soft sediment at the bottom of the breeding site. Watermelon seeds are suitable for growing in an environment where the water temperature is from minus 2 degrees to 35 degrees Celsius. The salt content of the water is 7% to 32%. Breeding farms should choose areas far away from pollution sources to ensure the water quality of the breeding area.

2. Farm repair

The breeding farms of Haiguazi are generally built in coastal areas, such as rivers, reservoirs, etc., using the principle of low dam water storage. The breeding farm should build good dams, ring ditches and nozzles, and the area is determined according to the number of breeding. And according to the local topography to build the breeding farm, the dam is generally 40 to 50 centimeters high, the dike is trapezoidal, the bottom is 80 to 90 centimeters wide, the upper part is 40 to 50 centimeters wide, and ditches are built around the farm. The depth and width of the ditch are both 30 to 40 centimeters, and the water mouth is built at the mouth of the sea, which can reasonably control the water level. finally, the bottom of the farm pond is trimmed and raked flat.

3. Pond cleaning management

Before sowing watermelon seeds, we need to clean up the pond in the farm, and before sowing seedlings, sprinkle an appropriate amount of quicklime or bleach into the pond to clean up the creatures in the pond that are harmful to the survival and growth of sea melon seeds. Cleaning the pond should be carried out on a sunny morning, so that the cleaning will be more thorough. After disinfection and sterilization is completed, the water in the pond should be discharged and finally the pond can be leveled.

4. Scientific seeding

Due to the difference of climate in different regions of our country, the sowing time of watermelon seeds is also different, but most areas are carried out in May and June and November every year, and the sowing is generally sown with dry tide. During the dry tide, the water in the pond is drained, and then the seedlings of the watermelon seeds are evenly scattered on the surface of the pond, and then put in the right amount of water for breeding. Generally, three or four hundred thousand seedlings can be sown per mu, and try to choose the ones with larger specifications, which can reduce the number of seedlings sown.

5. Nurturance management

In the process of watermelon seed culture, the most important thing is to control the water level, prevent collapse, prevent flood, adjust salinity and so on. In the process of culture, we should change water regularly and check the growth of sea melon seeds at the same time. And regularly repair and clean up the pond, clean up the remaining natural enemies in time, and reasonably control the water level, lower the water level in spring and autumn, and increase the water level in summer and winter. The second is to check the state of the dam, do a good job in repair work in time, and pay attention to weather changes and make timely preparations for disaster prevention.

The above is the method of breeding watermelon seeds summarized by the editor. I hope I can help you!
