How to raise silver carp? The best breeding method for silver carp

Silver carp is the most commonly eaten aquatic fish in life. It is suitable for large-scale breeding in freshwater and can create high economic value for breeders. But how should this fish be raised? I will write down its specific breeding method and share it with you. After understanding it, you will know what to do.

1. Build a fish pond

If you want to breed silver carp in large quantities, you must build a suitable fish pond. This kind of fish requires a relatively large pond area, preferably between 4 and 8 acres, with a water depth of more than two meters. In addition, organic fertilizer should be applied for cultivation before stocking the fry. Organic fertilizer can be selected from cooked animal manure or cake fertilizer, but the fertilizer should be appropriate and not too concentrated.

2. Stocking fish fry

Silver carp should be stocked in the summer every year. Stocking can be divided into two types: single culture or mixed culture. In Huiyang, when silver carp fry are put in, other types of fish fry are put in. This can maintain the ecological environment balance in the fish pond, which is conducive to the growth of various fish and can also create higher economic benefits. Silver carp is most suitable for breeding with carp, bighead carp and other fish.

3. Daily management

Silver carp usually feed mainly on plankton in the pond, so during the breeding period, the pond water must be kept fertile and the number of plankton must be high, so as to provide sufficient food for silver carp. In addition, during the breeding period of silver carp, when feeding artificially, it is necessary to maintain the principle of timing, positioning, quality and quantity, so as to improve the utilization rate of feed.

4. Winter management

The temperature drops significantly in late autumn and early winter, and the activity of silver carp will decrease. When the temperature drops below ten degrees, the bighead carp will hardly eat. It is necessary to take out the silver carp from the pond and concentrate them in deeper fish ponds. If conditions do not allow, all the silver carp will need to be cleared out and sold, and the fry will be re-stocked when the weather warms up next year.
