Common cultivation methods of mussels

Culturing mussel is a profitable project, but it takes a long time and the cost recovery is slow. At present, there are two common ways to cultivate mussels, one is hanging culture, the other is cage culture, these two methods are more convenient to manage and easier to popularize. Below, the pro-farm network will give you a brief introduction to these two methods.

1. Lifting and maintenance

This method is suitable for water where the water level is relatively shallow, and the water quality is relatively clear, which is convenient for daily management and observation. First, prepare the fixed point in the culture area, and then link a series of ropes to the fixed point, the length of which is determined by the depth of the water. Generally, the depth of culture is 30-40 cm in summer and 40-60 cm in winter, with 2-8 fixed on each rope, which is not conducive to the growth of mussels. The distance of the rope is about 60% of the length of the rope, that is, the distance of the rope is about 60% of the length of the rope, that is, the distance of the rope is about 60% of the length of the rope, that is, the distance of the rope is about 70% of the length of the rope, which can greatly avoid the winding of the rope.

Advantages and disadvantages of culture: the advantage is that the depth of culture can be adjusted according to the changes of seasons, so that clams have a better living space. The water area is required to be shallow, and the culture conditions are simple. Daily management or harvest is relatively convenient, which can reduce the relative labor cost. The disadvantage is that the stability is relatively poor, and the clams on the rope are prone to fall. Poor resistance to disasters, but also vulnerable to attacks by some predators in the water. Do not have a good ability to resist things like harmful parasites on the sea floor.

2. Cage culture

This method is suitable for waters where the water level is relatively deep, and the best depth is controlled at about 2-4 meters, so that clams can grow naturally to the maximum extent under man-made protection. Cage culture is mainly to set up a floating box raft on the surface of the water, then connect the cage to the raft and fix it, and then put it into the water, and the silt of the breeding ground should not be too deep. The cage culture density can be maintained to cover most of the bottom of the cage, leaving some space to facilitate the survival of mussels when they grow up.

Advantages and disadvantages of aquaculture: the advantage of aquaculture is that it can provide a safe breeding place for clam, which can resist most of the damage from the outside world at the initial stage. The way to harvest is so simple that you just need to pull up the cage. The culture environment is close to the original ecological culture, and the quality will be much higher. Its disadvantage is that it is not conducive to daily management, and dead clams can not be found and dealt with in time. And the cage is easy to be covered by attachments and needs to be cleaned frequently, so the labor cost is high. It is also relatively easy to cause dysplasia due to culture density, and feed is needed from time to time.

These are the conventional methods of culturing mussels. At present, farmers around the country are actively developing new methods. It is believed that there will be better breeding methods in the later stage. The site selection of mussel culture is very important, the place is good, the late management will be very easy, we must carefully choose a good place when breeding.
