SWAMP EEL FARMING

DESCRIPTION:

Swamp eels have a scaleless, elongated body with a tapering tail and blunt snout. Their teeth appear like bristles and they have one V-shaped gill located beneath the head. The life cycle of the Asian swamp eel takes place solely in freshwater. All young are females. Some females develop into males as adults, however, males can change back to females if female densities are low.

The change from one sex to the other can take up to a year. Reproduction can occur throughout the year. Eggs are laid in bubble nests located in shallow waters. These bubble nests float at water's surface and are not attached to aquatic vegetation. The swamp eels preferred environment includes a wide variety of freshwater habitats: shallow wetlands, stagnant waters, marshes, streams, rivers, ditches, canals, lakes, reservoirs, and ponds in depths of <3 m.

Media solidified mud.

Media solidified mud.
Straw and banana gedebok not rot / broken.
The media does not exit Lor worms feed in rice fields as a reserve pool.
Planting the seed four months, after the harvest does not exist at all (all dead).
Planting the seed four months, which yields only a few large tail, which all the other small.
Planting the seed four months, few large harvests tail only, the other does not exist (depleted).
Planting the seeds of 4 months, yields "fixed" size belutnya (can not be great all).
After researching and visiting nearly 75 people eel farmers and run experiments and research for nearly two years in several media (media mud, rotten gedebok media + water, and clean 100% aqueous media)
Finally we analyze and conclude keys that must be met to Main Success eel conceive or who want to start cultivation of this "particular method in the media Hatchery Lumpur" namely:
Knowing must really "Seller seedlings that are not in trouble!"
Can choose the "seeds of a true eel" (can be large when grown)
Can memililh seed "really healthy"
Can "make healthy seedlings in the eel pond quarantine" after a trip / transport
Can "adapt the atmosphere in the wild" after the seeds into the media
Could create a "seed eels eat" after stocked in the media (if you want to eat means seeds can live eels)
Can create 'media that is non-toxic / no heat / suitable for eel "
Culture media should be able to cultivate the "worm lor fields" after the passage of time between 3 weeks to 1 month after flooded
Can give "high protein foods" and "eel like" at the beginning of growth (in I)
Knowing "the proper feeding techniques with proteins in balance with body weight" so it does not lead to cannibalism among fellow eel in II until paneni
Knowing "how to harvest a good technique" in order not eels easily injured or die after harvest
Already a buyer who receives the crop with the payment system in place after weighed, for a great price.
And to meet the needs of export quotas, there are still many farmers needed to be trained in cultivating eel starts today with the export standard.

Enlargement

Naturally the place to live eel (Monopterus Albus) is an aqueous slurry. For this purpose eel farmers must prepare the media are made from various types of materials that can later result in appropriate media or at least close to their original living places. Some of them are successful farmers, but for others, most are still struggling with the "prayer of technology" in order to harvest the results as expected.
Because they live in the mud, not much can be done to ensure the number and development of eels during the maintenance period. For that reason it appears this new way of livestock enterprise eel, that eel enlargement without the media mud. In this case farmers simply use clean water (clear) as the enlargement of an eel.
Advantages enlargement eel with this method are:
1. Easier to control the development and growth of eels because of their physical looks.
2. Do not bother anymore to find gedebong bananas, straw, rice field mud, manure and others to serve as the media.
3. The number of seeds that can spread more, which could even reach 30 kg/m3 to 50 kg/m3. Surely the difference is quite significant when compared with that using the media mud that can only hold the seeds as much as 1 kg/m3. This means, you no longer need a place or a large area.
4. More effective and efficient in terms of time, place of employment and governance.
There are four important factors that determine the success or failure of the media to raise eels with water. The first is water. In the eel enlargement without mud, water is the main factor which is very vital. Water conditions should always be controlled on a regular basis, because it will affect the development of the eel. Water should always be clear, has a temperature between 25-28 degrees Celsius, pH between 5-7, it does not contain harmful chemicals and always use water that has been deposited, at least for 24 hours. Do not use tap water because it contains chlorine, the water is directly taken from wells drilled (pantek) due to very low content of oxygen and water waste.
In each pool maintenance are required to have very little circulation despite debits. Circulation is working to increase the oxygen content in water and water hygiene. Swimming will be cloudy if there is no circulation, and thus should be changed frequently, at least for 2 or 3 days. Surely this would be very troublesome, is not it?
Water must be replaced if it meets one of the following provisions:
1. Looks dirty / cloudy or brownish color is yellow.
2. At the bottom of the pool already contained a thick sewage sludge.
3. pH of the water exceeds a threshold effect resulting from the body slime eels.
To be more exact, the pH of the water issue should always be measured at regular intervals not to exceed pH of water or less from the provisions. If you do not have the tools to measure the pH can be estimated, usually slightly thickened water because most eel slime.
The second important factor is the feed. Feed also includes one of the factors that are critical to the development and growth of eels. Give food to taste, not to lack or excess feed and give the most favored eel. If the feeding too much will cause the water dirty quickly and can be bad for eels eels so easily hurt and could eventually experience death. So also when feeding less, then it could lead to cannibalism and slow-growing nature.
During the eel was still willing to eat the usual food given should not switch to another feed. If food will be replaced, not all at once (total) but it takes time and must be substituted first. If after being given a new feed eel will not eat, feed back to the previous (old).
The best feed is natural rather than artificial feed such as pellets. The types of food like rice field eel worms include (root / lor), red worms, worm lumbricus, fish cere, cithol fish, guppy fish, goldfish puppies, puppies catfish, tadpoles (tadpole), gastric frogs, snails mas / fields, and caterpillars hongkong.
Next is a factor of seed. For the success of enlargement, choose a good quality seeds. Generally seedlings eel existing, largely, still is caught from the wild. While the way of using that is different and will certainly affect the quality of seeds.
Seeds are captured in a natural way using traps, like traps or posong, is that the seeds are pretty good for not having the treatment that can lower the quality. In contrast, seedlings not obtained by means well, such as electric shocks, not including quality seeds. Seeds obtained by shocking growth will not be maximized (kuntet).
It is best derived from the results of cultivation. In addition to a uniform size of seeds of this rare disease. Unfortunately, eel seeds for cultivation is still very little. Here are the things that must be considered related to seed quality eel:
1. There is no scar
2. Agile and aggressive
3. No limp
4. Uniform size
The last critical success factor is the density. Stocking density of seedlings in rearing ponds for each different type of fish and will greatly affect the development, growth and death rates. For example in rearing such as goldfish, carp and tilapia. If penebarannya too dense, the magnification can be inhibited even though the feed is in conformity with the rules that should, could also lead to a fairly high mortality rate.
But enlargement methods without the mud eel is very different from the stocking of fish seed types other. Spreading seeds of dense, it is very good for the development of the eel itself and also can suppress the rate of death, because eels eels will use the other's body as a replacement for mud eels hiding place so that others will protect each other. In this case, an important supply of food sufficient.

    These things are scary looking. Reminds me too much of a snake. That is interesting though how they can change back to male or female.
