Practical technology Aquaculture of crayfish

Crayfish, a group of crustaceans belonging to the superfamily Astacoidea, are divided into several families, including crayfish, river shrimp, mimicry shrimp, and langoustine shrimps. Among these, the crayfish, river shrimp, and mimicry shrimp families are primarily freshwater species. Freshwater crayfish are known for their large size, strong adaptability, high reproductive rates, and relatively short life cycles. For example, they typically live between 4 to 5 years. In contrast, marine crawfish grow larger, develop more slowly, and have longer breeding cycles. Some species, like the American crayfish, can live up to 50 years. Most farmed crayfish today are freshwater species. Crayfish usually mate in the fall, with eggs being fertilized and hatched in the following spring or summer. The incubation period varies depending on water temperature. For instance, *Procambarus clarkii* has an incubation period of 30 to 40 days at 18–20°C, but only 15 to 20 days at 25°C. Once hatched, the larvae remain attached to the mother’s appendages for several molts before becoming independent. They undergo multiple molts during their larval stage before reaching the juvenile stage. Newly hatched crayfish rely on their yolk sacs for nutrition initially. After their first molt, they begin feeding on phytoplankton, small zooplankton, and rotifers. As they grow, they gradually transition to eating algae, small aquatic organisms, and organic debris. Adult crayfish are omnivorous, consuming small crustaceans, mollusks, insect larvae, fish, and plant matter. In times of scarcity, they may even cannibalize each other. Crayfish are benthic creatures that thrive in various environments such as rivers, lakes, ditches, ponds, and rice fields. They are most active at night, hiding in burrows during the day. Due to their aggressive nature, especially among same-sex individuals, it's important to keep them spaced apart to avoid conflict. Crayfish farming is relatively simple and efficient, with a short breeding cycle. It can be combined with fish farming, reducing the need for intensive management while improving overall productivity. Studies show that polyculture of crayfish and fish can increase pond production by over 10% and boost profits by around 30%. Pond culture is the primary method for raising crayfish. Ponds should be 3 to 5 mu in size, with a depth of 0.8 to 1.2 meters. About 25–30% of the bottom should be planted with aquatic vegetation for shelter. If plants are not yet established, terrestrial plants can be placed above the waterline. Proper water quality management is crucial, including regular monitoring of pH, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia levels. Water quality control involves maintaining transparency between 30–40 cm, pH between 7.2–8.2, and dissolved oxygen above 3 mg/L. Beneficial microbial cultures are used to promote a stable ecosystem, reducing harmful substances like ammonia and nitrites. Bottom modifiers also help purify water and remove toxins. Disease prevention in crayfish farming requires a combination of ecological balance, proper feeding, and vaccination. Oligosaccharide molecular vaccines are being promoted, along with genetic engineering-based solutions. Regular pathogen testing and targeted use of antibiotics are also essential, especially in areas where salinity fluctuates, affecting disease prevalence. In summary, crayfish farming offers a sustainable and profitable option, particularly in regions like the Pearl River Estuary, where environmental challenges require careful management. With the right techniques and attention to water quality and disease control, crayfish cultivation can be both economically and ecologically viable.

Fiberglass Grating

Fiberglass Grating

The fiberglass grating also named FRP grating & fiberglass grid, and the fiberglass grating panels can be made into FRP grating cover, fiberglass walkway grating, fiberglass trench grating and so on.

The fiberglass grating is light in weight and has good elasticity, so it can be cut freely during the installation process, without using lifting equipment, and only a small amount of labor and cutting tools are required. Because the FRP grid is made of non-metallic materials, the corrosion resistance of the FRP grid is very good. The FRP grid will not rust and rust under the chemical medium, nor will it damage the structure of the material.

Beyond that, the color of fiberglass grating including yellow, gray, green and as your demands.
