The prospect of culture of Loach

Loach is an omnivorous small freshwater fish, widely distributed in China, Japan, Korean Peninsula and Southeast Asia and other countries and regions. It is distributed in natural waters such as rivers, ditches, paddy fields, ponds, lakes and reservoirs in China except the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, especially in the Yangtze River basin and the middle and lower reaches of the Pearl River. Let's take a look at the breeding prospect of Loach.

The prospect of culture of Loach

At present, exports account for 2040% of the total output of farmed Loach. As the export of Loach is mainly concentrated in South Korea and Japan, and mostly stay in the export of live Loach, some people worry that with the increasing saturation of the export market of Loach and the decline in the price of Loach, thus affecting the breeding efficiency of Loach. In fact, with the improvement of our people's living standards, the demand for a healthy diet will become more and more urgent, the nutritional value of Loach is recognized, so the consumer market of Loach market will gradually improve. If Misgurnus anguillicaudatus culture can learn from the brand management model of some conventional fish, jointly promote with some large catering enterprises, and carry out supporting development in the deep processing of Loach, it is believed that Loach culture can achieve sustainable economic benefits.

Culture benefit of Loach

According to the breeding practice, the yield of Loach per mu is about 1000 to 2000 jin, and the current market price of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is about 16.5 yuan / jin. It is estimated that the output value of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus per mu can reach 30, 000 yuan. Excluding the production costs such as seedling, feed, circulation land rent, pond construction and manual input, the gross profit per mu is 15000 yuan, and the sales volume is no problem, and the market is in short supply. At present, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus culture mainly includes rice field culture, pond purse seine culture and so on.

Culture advantages of Loach

1. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus can breathe through skin and intestines. This makes Misgurnus anguillicaudatus very tolerant to hypoxia and can realize the mode of high-density culture without the phenomenon of anoxic flooding of general fish.

2. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus has miscellaneous food habits, and the feed is relatively easy to solve. Corn, wheat, rice and other grains, as well as rice bran, bean dregs and other scraps can be used as Loach feed.

3. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus has strong reproductive ability. A female Misgurnus anguillicaudatus can lay about 3000 eggs a year, and can reproduce in spring, summer and autumn. The artificial propagation technology of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is relatively simple, it is relatively easy to obtain a large number of Loach seedlings, and the cost of artificial mass propagation of Loach seedlings is not high.

4. The growth rate of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is faster, and the seedlings of Loach propagated in spring can reach the larger market specification in winter.
