Artificial breeding of Australian freshwater lobster

Australian freshwater lobster, also known as red crawfish, is a large shrimp species in the tropics. It has strong adaptability and can maintain suitable water temperature for cultivation all year round. Juvenile shrimp breeding for 120-150 days. 1. The pond pond pond area should be 3-5 mu. The bottom of the pond should be sandstone or hard soil. Artificial nests should be set with bricks, rubble, mesh, old tires, and bamboo rafts. Pool a certain number of aquatic plants, such as water lettuce. Establish good drainage and drainage facilities, and install anti-escape nets at the inlet and outlet. Around the pond, a 30 cm high escape wall is enclosed with bamboo sheets. 2. Water quality conditions Freshwater lobsters in Australia are most suitable for growing at a temperature of 20-33°C. They stop growing below 12°C and stop feeding at less than 10°C. Before the water temperature is lower than 11°C, all fishing should be stopped. It is required that the PH value of the pool water be between 7-8, the dissolved oxygen content is greater than 4 grams per cubic meter, and the water hardness is greater than 5 mg/liter. Shrimp tanks often change water, changing one-fifth to one-third each time. Avoid water pollution from industrial pollution and pesticides. 3, the breeding density of single-cultivation, aquaculture 2 cm long larvae 6000-8000 tail, or 3 cm long lobster 4000-6000. In polyculture, 2000-3000 juvenile shrimps can be stocked per acre. Take rounds of catching by catching large and small ones, and the stocking density can be appropriately increased. Avoid polyculture with carnivorous fish. Each acre can be stocked with about 300-400 silver carp species, 50 grams of grass carp and 200 carp. 4. Feeding method The feedstuff uses fresh small fish, snails, soybeans, prawns compound feed, bean cakes, peanut cakes, vegetables, and low-value shellfish, etc. Feed types are often changed. Feeding times, shrimp 2-3 times, shrimp 1-2 times. The amount of daily feeding is 5% - 15% of the body weight of the shrimp, and it can be flexibly controlled according to the water temperature, water quality and feeding conditions, and the night feeding amount accounts for 70%. 5. Disease prevention and treatment seedlings are disinfected before surface treatment. Add a variety of vitamins to shrimp feed to enhance shrimp immunity. Manage water quality and do a good job of water disinfection.
