Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the environmental conditions, facilities and equipment, fish seed cultivation, fingerling cultivation, adult fish farming, disease prevention and control, and record-keeping and effluent treatment requirements for pond-based farming of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). This document applies to pond-based farming of largemouth bass. Main technical content: 4. Environmental conditions: The pond-based farming environment meets the requirements of NY/T 5361, with minimal impact from natural disasters such as floods and droughts; and convenient communication and transportation. The water source should be pollution-free, with sufficient water volume and water quality meeting the requirements of GB 11607. 5. Facilities and equipment: 5.1 Ponds: The area, depth, and bottom requirements of ponds vary depending on the farming region and stage. See Table 1 for requirements in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River Delta regions. Table 1: Pond requirements by region and farming stage Region Farming stage Pond area Pond depth (m) Bottom requirements Middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Fingerling cultivation 667–3,335 1.2–1.8 Flat bottom with ≤30 cm of silt, no leaks in pond banks or bottoms, separate intake and outlet systems, and bottom quality meeting NY/T 5361 requirements. Middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Adult fish farming 3,335–10,000 1.8–2.5 Flat bottom with ≤20 cm of silt, no leaks in pond banks or bottoms, separate intake and outlet systems, and bottom quality meeting NY/T 5361 requirements. Pearl River Delta regions Fingerling cultivation 2,000–4,000 1.5–2.0 Flat bottom with ≤20 cm of silt, no leaks in pond banks or bottoms, separate intake and outlet systems, and bottom quality meeting NY/T 5361 requirements.
