What should be paid attention to in tilapia culture

Tilapia is one of the fishes that pay attention to aquaculture in the world. it has wide adaptability, is loved by farmers, has delicious meat, high nutritional value, is welcomed by consumers and has high economic value. So what should we pay attention to when raising tilapia? Let's take a look.

1. Seedling

The selection of seedlings must be strict, which is related to the growth, development and economic benefits of tilapia. Excellent seedlings with clear sources, strong physique and no disease should be selected to ensure their rapid growth and reproduction in the later stage and bring considerable economic benefits. The breeding and stocking time should generally be selected on a sunny day with a water temperature above 20 degrees, generally around April, and no later than May, and the density of fish fry should be paid attention to, which should not be too high, which can easily lead to the occurrence of disease and affect economic benefits. generally, it is about 1500 fish per mu.

2. Feeding

Tilapia generally uses plant feed, plus it eats phytoplankton on its own, so in order to reduce feed costs, it is necessary to fertilize ponds and promote plankton reproduction, but pay attention to the amount of fertilization so as not to damage the water environment and affect the growth and quality of tilapia. For feed feeding, we should also pay attention to two points, one is the choice of time, generally at 8-9 a.m. and 14-15:00 in the afternoon; the other is the amount of feeding, the feeding amount of tilapia is 3-6% of the body weight, and at the same time to ensure the freshness of the feed, the residual bait in the water should be cleaned up in time, so as not to pollute the water quality, which is detrimental to the growth of tilapia.

3. Change water by water injection

The water quality of the pond will gradually deteriorate in the process of culture, so it is necessary to often add new water to keep the water level relatively stable, which pays great attention to parent fish reproduction and breeding. If the water level drops, the spawning hole will be exposed to the water surface. It will affect the spawning and hatching of parent fish, and if the water level is too high, the oxygen condition of the spawning hole is poor, which is not conducive to the hatching of eggs. In addition, the water quality will continue to deteriorate, so it is necessary to do a good job in water quality management, and when the water quality deteriorates to a certain extent, it is necessary to concentrate on feeding and changing water.

4. the patrol of the pond is too long

Visit the pond every morning and evening to observe the activity, feeding and water quality changes of the fish, record the water temperature, solve the problem in time, pay attention to the escape phenomenon of the fish, and repair in time if the escape occurs.
