Even though the temperature is about the same, it feels like it's a little more angry.
It feels like this summer is much hotter than last year.
Early in the morning, Ye Mo and his father-in-law went out to catch crayfish in a cage again.
Nowadays, the daily shipment volume of crayfish is controlled at about 1,500 kilograms. There are fewer and fewer large green shrimps, and most of the medium-sized green shrimps are priced at 4 to 5 cents.
In addition, the number of shrimp seedlings is even greater.
Zhang Wenhua came over very early, pulled Ye Mo aside, and whispered: "The quality of the crayfish here has dropped a lot. They are smaller in size, have more fishy smell, and the meat is not as firm as before. Yes.
Isn’t it because of the feed?”
"This..." Ye Mo also knew that there was something wrong. The crayfish now are indeed not as delicious as before, and said: "It is probably because of too much feed."
"Today's batch of crayfish has been harvested. We will stop harvesting for a while. We will wait until the crayfish grow up a little... In addition, if the quality cannot be restored, the price will have to be lowered. In recent days, my customers have been very dissatisfied.
Zhang Wenhua said: "How about catching crayfish from the small reservoir?"
"It's better to stop fishing for a while." Ye Mo said: "There are not many crayfish in the reservoir. I plan to raise one or two shrimps."
"Okay, we caught the fish today, so we will stop fishing for a while." Zhang Wenhua sighed and said, "When the crayfish recover or grow bigger, I will come back to harvest them."
"Um."
Some time ago, I saw that crayfish were eating aquatic plants so much that in some areas the aquatic plants were eating away their skins, leaving only one aquatic plant vine. Then they increased the feed and poured hundreds of liters of crayfish into the reservoir.
spring.
If there is enough feed, crayfish still prefer to eat the feed.
Now, the aquatic plants are growing again, but the crayfish taste is not as good as before.
"How much does the crayfish from the small reservoir weigh?"
"Basically, it's more than 6 yuan, and there are also those with seven or eight yuan." Ye Mo said, "There shouldn't be anything with four or five yuan."
"The crayfish in the small reservoir are not raised to waste, right?"
"That's not the case..." Ye Mo said, feeling a little embarrassed.
If you pursue production, you have to give up quality. If you pursue quality, you have to give up production...
Ye Mo plans to raise 1 tael of shrimp, which will take more than a month and two months. The longer the crayfish grows, the slower it will grow. Otherwise, the bigger the crayfish will be, the more expensive they will be.
"I have a very important customer who complained to me about the quality of crayfish. He mainly collects large green shrimps. Can you catch a few hundred kilograms for me so that I can maintain the relationship with him?" Zhang Wenhua said: "Maintaining important customers is a good idea.
block, you will also benefit.”
"How much?"
"If we supply all the big shrimps, he can eat more than a thousand kilograms a day. Now, two to three hundred kilograms a day will be enough. He is an important customer who has just developed..."
"Okay, I'll catch it for you." Ye Mo said with a smile.
The number of crayfish in large reservoirs has not decreased significantly. However, the number of small and medium-sized crayfish is too many. There are also too many shrimp seedlings.
Ye Mo turned around and brought four large ground cages, put the bait, drove the car to the small reservoir, and dropped the ground cages.
"Dad." Ye Mo called Lin Shan.
"What?"
"Don't put the shrimp larvae you catch back, bring them to the small reservoir." Ye Mo said, "The density of crayfish here in the small reservoir is much smaller."
"Well, okay."
The crayfish in the small reservoir are the first to lay eggs.
At the end of March and beginning of April, crayfish with eggs caught from large reservoirs... The crayfish here basically cost 6 yuan, and a few cost 60 or 7 yuan.
Zhang Wenhua first fished out a few fish, measured their length, and then weighed them. The specifications were very uniform...
"Otherwise, we might as well sell the crayfish in this reservoir." Zhang Wenhua said, "We still have time to raise one or two shrimps."
Zhang Wenhua wanted to sell the crayfish in the reservoir quickly. There were too many shrimp seedlings in the big reservoir. After they were sold out, they quickly collected the shrimp seedlings and brought them back to raise them again.
"30 yuan per catty?" Ye Mo said.
"The price of 30 yuan is already very high." Zhang Wenhua said with a sincere face: "I sell these big prawns to earn some hard-earned money."
"Really?" Ye Mo looked unbelieving.
"What can I do if it's cheap? Well, I have to make some money..."
Ye Mo smiled and nodded: "The crayfish here must be shipped quickly so that I can raise the second batch."
"Okay. I'll call and ask now..." Zhang Wenhua went to the coconut tree, took out his mobile phone to contact the customer, made more than a dozen calls, and came back: "I will arrange a car to come over immediately and load 3,000 kilograms. What?
So, that’s enough.”
"Three thousand catties, it's okay." Ye Mo then called his father-in-law and asked him to put the shrimp seedlings back into the big reservoir.
Wait until the crayfish fishing here is almost done, then catch the shrimp seedlings and move them over.
Qianjin Zhongqing has been loaded into the car.
Ground cages, net cages, etc. were all transported.
The large reservoir is more than 70 acres. The current water level of the small reservoir is almost full. It is almost 60 acres, which is not too small. Even the water in the small reservoir is shallower. As far as crayfish farming is concerned, it can
The water surface area utilized is larger than that of large reservoirs.
The small reservoir has always controlled the amount of feed.
At first, Ye Mo bought aquatic weed spores and put them in the entire reservoir. In one winter, under the influence of the spiritual spring, aquatic plants grew in the entire reservoir.
Because the amount of feed is controlled, the crayfish cannot eat enough, so they naturally eat aquatic plants. As a result, there are relatively few aquatic plants around the small reservoir. The middle area is dense with aquatic plants...
Crayfish mostly like to live in shallow water areas.
Catching crayfish is relatively easy. The crayfish here are of the same size, so you don’t need to screen them in cages, just pack them directly into boxes.
Three thousand kilograms of large-sized crayfish were packed in two hours.
It's past eleven o'clock.
Zhang Wenhua also verified just now that these crayfish were not 'contaminated'. When packing the crayfish, Zhang Wenhua took a dozen crayfish to Ye Mo's house, boiled them... and tasted them. They were the same as the previous crayfish.
, even...the taste is even better.
"I'll be back tomorrow morning." Zhang Wenhua got on the fish truck and was about to follow the car away. He stuck his head out, looked at Ye Mo and waved.
Ye Mo also waved his hand.
These crayfish should be sold now... I think they are almost the same.
There are still certain risks in raising 1 tael of green shrimp. The temperature is now high, and even in reservoir farming here, the shells of some crayfish have changed color and turned into red shells.
It will take at least 2 months to raise 6 coins to 10 coins. In these 2 months, the temperature is the hottest time of the year... If it turns into red shell... Green shell, 55 yuan per catty, red shell is estimated
It’s only about 47 yuan.
I’m selling them now. I’ll grow another batch when I have time. If I grow them until November, if the quality is good, I can sell them at a higher price.
