What conditions do you need for sea cucumber breeding?

Sea cucumber is regarded as one of the eight treasures in the world. It has high edible value and high medicinal value. So, what conditions do sea cucumber culture need? Let's get to know each other.

1. Hydrological conditions

Sea cucumbers have higher requirements for hydrological conditions, especially for water quality. the output and quality of sea cucumbers are also higher in places with good water quality. when choosing hydrological conditions, we should choose the estuaries or estuaries far away from pollution. the second is the low content of ammonia nitrogen in seawater, the best salinity in seawater is about 25 to 35, and the dissolved oxygen in water should reach more than 5 mg / L. The harmful substances in the aquaculture water body should be lower than the national water quality standards, which can be sampled and tested at the local environmental protection station, and the dams should be built reasonably according to the tidal conditions to observe the precipitation and rainwater harvesting area. to avoid land fresh water entering the culture pond, it is also necessary to understand the changes in the water temperature of the local sea water to determine the depth of the pool water.

2. Artificial reef

Reefs are also an indispensable condition in the cultivation of sea cucumbers. Most of us use artificial reefs. Reefs mainly provide sea cucumbers with a place to rest, live and feed. The most common reefs we use are stone reefs, cement pipe reefs, plastic pipe reefs and tile reefs. Different reef construction methods are also different, except for these more commonly used artificial reefs. There are other things, such as hollow bricks, cement slabs, waste tires, abalone cages, ceramic pipes, bamboo baskets and so on, which can also be used as reefs.

3. Topography and sediment

The topography and bottom quality of the farms are also very important. Generally speaking, sea cucumber farms will not be selected in places with high winds and waves, but the best ones are relatively gentle inner bays and coasts. For example, rocky coasts, low-lying saline-alkali lands and intertidal zones are all excellent breeding sites. When we build farms, we also need to consider natural disasters such as wind and flood shelter, so as to ensure that the farms can proceed smoothly. Finally, it is best to have rocks, rocks, or plots with silt or silt as the bottom, so that the aquaculture ponds can have sufficient load.

4. Biological environment

Biological environment mainly refers to the existence of sea cucumber seedling base and enemy and competitive organisms. First of all, we should have artificially cultivated seedlings in the place where we build sea cucumber farms, because sea cucumbers are not suitable for long-distance transportation, and it is convenient to choose and purchase seedlings. This is a point in the biological environment. The second is to understand the impact of local aquatic organisms on sea cucumbers, to expel harmful areas, and to choose areas rich in bait.

Sea cucumber culture needs to pay attention to a lot of details, I hope you can read this article can have some inspiration and help.
