In rural areas, aquaculture is a very good option, and many people want to raise fish in ponds to earn some income. So how many fish can be raised per acre in water that is 2 meters deep? Let's find out below.
1. How many fish can be raised in one acre of water with a depth of 2 meters?
A 2-meter deep water area can support 500-1000 small fish weighing around 100g per acre, depending on factors such as the farming method, the size of the fry, and the species of fish.
The number of fish that can be raised varies depending on the species. If grass carp is the main species, and carp, silver carp, etc. are mixed in, only about 400-800 fish can be raised. A fishpond with a water depth of 2 meters can raise about 1,500-2,000 crucian carp . It is best to choose common economic fish species such as silver carp, grass carp, bighead carp, and crucian carp, which are more adaptable and grow faster.
II. Stocking ratio of the four major freshwater fish species per mu (unit of land area) of fishpond
1. Primarily raising grass carp
(1) If it is a stocking but not feeding model, stock 5 grass carp , 10 silver carp, 20 bighead carp, 100-200 crucian carp and 50-100 grass carp per mu of pond.
(2) If it is an occasional feeding pattern, stock 10 grass carp, 30-50 silver carp, 50-100 bighead carp, 200-300 crucian carp and 100-300 grass carp per mu of pond.
(3) If it is a professional intensive farming model, stock 30-50 grass carp, 50-100 silver carp, 150-300 bighead carp, 500-1000 crucian carp and 500-1000 grass carp per mu of pond.
2. Conventional fish monoculture
The main species raised are crucian carp, with 2,000-5,000 fish stocked per mu (approximately 0.16 acres). Other species mainly raised include grass carp (Hemiberlesia lataniae), with 1,000-2,000 fish stocked per mu. Carp are also mainly raised, with 800-1,500 fish stocked per mu. Grass carp are mainly raised, with 500-1,000 fish stocked per mu. Black carp are mainly raised, with 500-800 fish stocked per mu.
