Abstract:

To investigate the effect of small-scale cage aquaculture on Opsariichthys bidens Gunther in pond, the experiment placed plastic fishing rafts in the middle of the pond and tied cage to the polyethylene. They were divided into 3 groups (numbered M1, M2, and M3), with cage size of 2.0 m in length, 2.0 m in width, and 1.5 m in depth. Each small-scale cage had 360 fish with initial body weight (13.90±0.55) g, and fed with a 41% crude protein puffed formula feed. After 66 days of small-scale cage culture, the results showed that the average survival rate were (70.88±4.83)% of 3 groups, the specific growth rate were (0.97±0.04)%·d-1, and the feed coefficient were (2.15±0.15). The body weight growth showed an exponential function: y=11.563e0.212 5x (R2=0.987 9). This experiment also observed that the feeding and growth of Opsariichthys bidens Gunther performed best when water temperatures were 26-30 ℃.
