The invention relates to an artificial directional
mating method of
Scylla paramamosain. The artificial directional
mating method of
Scylla paramamosain includes: firstly, selecting black barrels as
mating sites, spreading sand 10-15cm in thickness at the bottom of each black
barrel, setting an air filling device, burying a
nozzle of the air filling device in the sand, injecting fresh sea water, and keeping each black
barrel in the dark; secondly, selecting healthy female and male crabs weighing 180-220g as candidate parents, cleaning the crabs with the fresh sea water, and putting two male crabs and two or three female crabs in each black
barrel for breeding; thirdly, using
Sinonovacula constricta as feed, changing all the water in black barrel every day, and taking the female carbs which finish mating for continual breeding. The artificial directional mating method of
Scylla paramamosain has the advantages of simplicity in operation, high success rate,
low input cost and the like, selective artificial directional mating can be achieved, and the artificial directional mating method of Scylla paramamosain is applicable to artificial large-scale propagation and selection of Scylla paramamosain.
