The invention provides a breeding method of purple
apostichopus japonicus. The breeding method is characterized by collecting purely wild
apostichopus japonicus individuals of which the back part and the
abdomen part are totally purple, and
transplanting the
apostichopus japonicus individuals into a breeding pond for carrying out independent separation, temporary rearing and preserving; screening breeding base populations in the middle of May, and carrying out artificial spawning,
hatching and breeding; when 30 percent of planktonic larvae develop to be doliolaria, feeding an adhering substrate, changing water and feeding
fodder; recording the body color and the growth and development situation of the doliolaria at a fixed period, and screening and weeding out weak individuals; performing an overall breeding process in a purple environment, and strengthening the coloring of young purple
apostichopus japonicus by feeding the
fodder containing purple natural
pigment components in an assisting manner; respectively carrying out
selfing on bred F1-generation purple
apostichopus japonicus and hybridization on the bred F1-generation purple
apostichopus japonicus and preserved base populations, thus forming F2 filial generations, wherein a breeding technology and breeding conditions of the F2 filial generations are the same as those of F1 generations; carrying out three times of high-strength standard breeding, thus obtaining F3-generation new varieties of the purple apostichopus japonicus, wherein the selection and reservation rate is 90 percent or more, and no
significant difference of the growing speed and the anti-capability is generated between the F3-generation new varieties of the purple apostichopus japonicus and original apostichopus japonicus.
