Abstract

The invention discloses an intermediate cultivating method capable of improving the survival rate of pinctada maxima spats and belongs to the technical field of shellfish culture. The intermediate cultivating method comprises the following steps of choosing 5-20 acres of shrimp pond with the water storage depth between 1.5m and 2.5m, applying fertilizers to cultivate unit-cell algae baits, putting litopenaeus vannamei shrimp seeds, transferring the seeds to 60-mesh polyethylene mesh bags from attachment boards when specifications of the spats reach about 2mm, then suspending and cultivating the spats in the shrimp pond, cultivating and managing the spats, clearing up attachment on the mesh bags every 5-7 days, cleaning up float sludge to keep smoothness of water inside and outside the mesh bags, using 20-mesh mesh bags when the specifications of the spats reach 6-8mm, and using 10-mesh mesh bags when the specifications of the spats reach 10.0-15.0mm. In addition, a bottom material of the bottom of the shrimp pond is sludge and sand, water can be drained in and out of the shrimp pond conveniently, the body length of each litopenaeus vannamei shrimp seed is 1.0-1.5cm, and the density of the litopenaeus vannamei shrimp seeds is 20,000-30,000 per acre. In the 60-mesh mesh bags, the density of the litopenaeus vannamei shrimp seeds is 5,000-6,000 per bag. In the 20-mesh mesh bags, the density of the litopenaeus vannamei shrimp seeds is 2,500-3,000 per bag. In the 10-mesh mesh bags, the density of the litopenaeus vannamei shrimp seeds is 800-1,000 per bag. The intermediate cultivating method is simple in step, low in cost and capable of effectively improving the survival rate of pinctada maxima spats.

Description

A kind of continental rise controlled water body intermediate cultivate method that improves large nacre weed survival rate
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method that improves large nacre weed survival rate, be specifically related to a kind of continental rise controlled water body intermediate cultivate method that improves large nacre weed survival rate, belong to shellfish culture technical field.
Background technology
Large nacre (<i TranNum="57">pinctada maxima</i>jameson), claiming again white butterfly shell, is one of female shellfish of ideal of the large-scale high-quality sea water pearls of universally acknowledged cultivation, is mainly distributed in the Australia bank of the South Pacific Ocean and country in Southeast Asia's immediate offshore area of Western Pacific; In China, be mainly distributed in that Hainan Province is coastal, the Leizhou in the Lezhou Peninsula, Guangdong Province, Xuwen and Weizhou Island, Guangxi.After 20th century the mid-80s, because sea area is seriously polluted, ecotope wrecks, and causes large nacre low in the survival rate of natural waters; Add excessive marine fishing, large nacre has faced existence predicament in China.Since the seventies in last century, there are many relevant R&D institution and scientific and technical personnel in China, try hard to from different perspectives and approach goes to solve the survival rate problem of seed between the mature stage of sea area, but fail to obtain good solution always, this is seriously restricting the Industrialization Progress of China's large nacre.
In order to solve the problem of the low survival rate of large nacre between the mature stage of sea area, China scientific research personnel has carried out a large amount of research, is mainly summarized as follows: the 1) improvement of breeding cage; 2) in the middle of indoor cement pit, be bred as.When seed, from nursery pond, transfer to the breeding process of sea area, the principal element that affects weed survival rate comprises the variation of bait, envirment factor (temperature and salinity) and other microorganism predation etc.Therefore, select that food organisms are abundant, metastable environment can effectively improve survival rate and the growth rate of seed.The Micro Algae food organisms such as a large amount of diatoms and green alga are contained in prawn culturing pond, can provide sufficient bait for shellfish.Simultaneously, prawn and shellfish are raised together with, cultivation shellfish take phytoplankton, microorganism, organic debris, even prawn ight soil is food, can reduce the water quality deterioration that water body causes because of organic substance decomposing, reduced the place that the harmful bacterias such as pathogene, vibrios grow, improved breeding environment, be conducive to the quick healthy growth of prawn, and improved bait utilization.For example, Hu Jiacai etc. (1995) reported Crassostrea rivularis ( ostrea rivularis) and japonicus ( penaeus japonicus) arranging in pairs or groups cultivates, prawn per mu yield improves 30% than contrast monoculture pond, and survival rate raising 17%, dressing percentage that oyster cultivates than natural waters increase by 20.3%.
The present invention utilizes in Shrimp Pond-culture large nacre seed, can effectively improve the survival rate of seed, and has the advantages such as easy and simple to handle, easy popularization.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of continental rise controlled water body intermediate cultivate method that improves large nacre weed survival rate, can effectively improve the survival rate of seed, and there is the advantages such as easy and simple to handle, easy popularization.
For realizing the object of foregoing invention, the technical scheme that the present invention takes is as follows:
A continental rise controlled water body intermediate cultivate method that improves large nacre weed survival rate, comprises the steps:
(1) the shrimp pool is selected: select 5-20 mu pond, and the high 2.5-3.5m of dike, the dark 1.5-2.5m of retaining, the husky substrate of pond bed mud, enters draining conveniently;
(2) shrimp seedling is thrown in: Micro Algae bait is cultivated in fertilising, throws in Environment of Litopenaeus vannamei Low shrimp seedling, the long 1.0-1.5cm of body, density 2-3 ten thousand tail/mus, the Articial bait making of regularly throwing something and feeding;
(3) seed rearing: when large nacre seed size reaches 2-3mm left and right, seed is transferred to 60 order polyethylene mesh bags from lamina affixad, then hanging culture is on the shrimp pool;
(4) aquaculture management: every 5-7 days, remove the attachment of mesh bag, clean mud scum, keep the inside and outside current of mesh bag unobstructed, and and time-division seedling.
Described hanging culture density is 5000-6000 grain/bag.
Described and time-division seedling, seed size reaches 6-8mm, uses 20 object mesh bags instead, density 2500-3000 grain/bag; Seed size reaches 10.0-15.0mm, uses 10 order mesh bags instead, density 800-1000 grain/bag.
Technique effect of the present invention is:
(1) prawn and shellfish are raised together with, cultivation shellfish take phytoplankton, microorganism, organic debris, even prawn ight soil is food, reduce the water quality deterioration that water body causes because of organic substance decomposing, reduced the place that the harmful bacterias such as pathogene, vibrios grow, improved breeding environment, be conducive to the quick healthy growth of large nacre, and improved bait utilization;
(3) adopt the method can effectively improve the survival rate of seed, the survival rate of juvenile mollusk reaches 60 ~ 70%, and than the same period, the survival rate of sea area cultivation improves 20 ~ 30%;
(3) this breeding method has the advantages such as easy and simple to handle, with low cost, easy popularization.
