The invention relates to an artificial propagation method of yellow
catfish fry, which is characterized in that: sexually mature yellow
catfish over three years are chosen as the parent fishes; the female and male ratio is 3:1; a plurality of barrels are arranged in a spawning pond as fish nests; parent fish density in the spawning pond is 1 to 2 groups / m2; each group of parent fishes uses a
barrel; the sand with a thickness
ranging form 1cm to 5cm is arranged at the bottom of the
barrel for the debonding of fish eggs; in spawning season, exogenous
hormone is injected to the basal behind the dorsal fins of the parent fishes to induce
ovulation and spermiation; an inversed conical container with smooth inner wall is used as the
hatching barrel; fertilized eggs are arranged in the
hatching barrel for
hatching in flowing water; the dissolved
oxygen in the water of the hatching barrel is larger than 5.5 mg / L; when hatching is over, fry is arranged in a
cement pool for temporary rearing for 40 to 70 hours, then the fry is packaged in plastic bags with water and
oxygen. The artificial propagation method of yellow
catfish fry has the advantages that, well developed yellow catfish fry can be acquired; the operation is simple; the
utilization rate of parent fishes is high; scale production of yellow catfish fry can be realized, and the invention has significant meaning for the
intensive culture of yellow catfish.
