Q: what preparations do you need to make for raising Monopterus Albus in cages?

A: After the cage is done, it needs to be transplanted. This is where eel farming differs from cage farming of other fish. Because the eel cultured in the deep water soilless cage completely inhabits on the floating row of aquatic plants, it is necessary to choose water plants that grow fast and can form floating rows, such as water peanuts and water hyacinth. When transplanting and cultivating aquatic plants floating row, it is best to take 1/3 of the two ends of the net cage and cultivate floating rows with a thickness of 20-30 cm respectively. Leave 1/3 of the water blank in the middle to facilitate push management. The specific method is: straighten out the aquatic plants and vines one by one on the shore, pile them up, step on the pile with feet, and then plant the accumulated aquatic plants and vines vertically one by one in the cage with five iron forks. Generally, about 25 kilograms of water plants and vines are planted vertically per square meter of cage area.
