Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Bighead carp mainly feed on zooplankton, but also feed on phytoplankton. According to Professor Ni Dashu's research, the average ratio of zooplankton to phytoplankton in bighead carp food is 1: 4.5. Phytoplankton is dominant in quantity, but its biomass is far less than that of zooplankton. On average, one zooplankton is 10 times or more larger than one phytoplankton. Therefore, from the bighead carp feeding habits analysis, phytoplankton occurrence rate is not low, but the main role in nutrition is still zooplankton. According to this situation, the original Guangdong experience still has room for improvement, namely bighead carp and silver carp.

Bighead carp mainly feed on zooplankton as well as phytoplankton. According to Professor Ni Dashu, the average ratio of zooplankton to phytoplankton in bighead carp food is 1Ru 4.5, phytoplankton is dominant in quantity, but the biomass is much lower than that of zooplankton. On average, a zooplankton is 10 times or more larger than a phytoplankton. Therefore, from the analysis of the feeding habits of bighead carp, the occurrence rate of phytoplankton is not low, but zooplankton still play an important role in nutrition. According to this situation, the original Guangdong experience still has room for improvement, that is, the ratio of bighead carp to silver carp is 1:3, and it can also rise to 1.5v2.5. When silver carp fry is in short supply, bighead carp fry can also be used instead of bighead carp fry to increase the proportion of bighead carp.
