Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province: small profits from raising lobster ponds

Zhang Junlong, a farmer in Zhangduo Village, Wuli Town, Dongtai City, took science and technology as the forerunner, delved into lobster culture technology and achieved good economic benefits. This year, he raised 20 mu of water surface, sold 3200 kilograms of lobster, realized sales of 180000 yuan, profit of 70, 000 yuan, and net income of 3500 yuan per mu.

Select the right project

Zhang Junlong has been engaged in aquaculture for many years, and has raised many projects successively, but the benefit has not been satisfactory. Last year, after investigation, he learned that with the improvement of living standards, the consumer market of lobster is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become a common delicacy on the dinner table of ordinary people. However, lobster sellers in the local and surrounding fish markets basically come from retail investors, and there are few large lobster farmers. At the same time, lobster culture has a short cycle and quick results. Lobster culture is a "sunrise industry" in the aquaculture industry and has a broad development "money scene". After many investigations and investigations, Zhang Junlong came up with the idea of cultivating lobster and received strong support from the town's agricultural service center. The aquatic technical staff of the agricultural center visited the door many times to provide services throughout the process, which further strengthened Zhang Junlong's confidence in developing lobster culture.

Read the three-character True Sutra well

Lobster farming is a technical activity, do not understand the technology and blind investment will only bring risks. Zhang Junlong went to Sihong, Xuyi and other places many times to learn lessons from lobster farmers, subscribed to professional newspapers and periodicals of aquaculture, studied lobster culture technology through the network, and summarized and thought about it in connection with practice. In practice, we have formed the experience of reading well the three-word scriptures of "grass", "water" and "removing" so as to improve the level of breeding. Grass is to cultivate a pond of grass. Zhang Junlong provides enough oxygen for the growth of lobster by cultivating the combination of water-standing plants and submerged plants and using the photosynthesis of water-standing plants. Water is to do everything possible to improve water quality. He established water quality monitoring files, adjusted in time according to water quality, regularly used photosynthetic bacteria and quicklime to improve water quality, and provided a good environment for lobster growth. To get rid of is to get rid of the enemy in time. In the process of lobster growth, it is always faced with the invasion of birds, snakes and carnivorous fish. he clears up the enemy by means of artificial bird drive and drug removal of wild miscellaneous fish, which ensures a good ecological environment for lobster growth.

Do well in quality articles

Lobster to the market, quality is the key. Zhang Junlong started from putting in the seedlings and eliminated the small and poor crayfish in time according to the methods of purification and rejuvenation, selecting the best and cleaning up the bad ones. In the process of breeding, according to the market situation, timely fishing, catch large and stay small, increase the output per unit area. In the whole process of breeding, the use of pesticides should be strictly controlled to ensure that the ecology is green and pollution-free. After it was put on the market, it was widely welcomed by consumers, with a price of more than 60 yuan per kilogram.
