The Right Technique of Green Shellfish Cultivation

Important Aspects of Green Shell Farming.

Today I want to share about green shellfish cultivation planning. There is a need to consider in making the planning of cultivation, both for commodity shells and other commodities. Cultivation efforts should pay attention to several important aspects, ranging from the natural environment to social factors.

Who does not like green shells?

Green mussels are one of the most successful fisheries resources. In addition, the cultivation of green shellfish is easy, because the green shell is able to survive and breed at high environmental pressures and without feeding. Shellfish with Latin name Perna viridis is living in estuary-mangrove waters and bay areas with muddy sand substrate and medium salt. To that end, this commodity has a great opportunity to be cultivated in a sustainable manner.

The Importance of Spatial Setting of Green Shell Farming Area.

In the cultivation of green shells, the farmer must understand the general plan of spatial and land use of a region. It aims to avoid the cultivation of green shells overlapping the land with other businesses. In addition, green shell entrepreneurs should also contribute to the development and employment of local communities.
Here's the information related to the arrangement of green shellfish cultivation area.

Shellfish is one of the many commodities obtained through capture in nature. Like various types of shells such as green shells, blood clams, oysters, and tridacna. This commodity is pretty much in demand as one of the seafood menu (seafood) and is marketed domestically or exported.
As one of the most popular types of seafood, the demand for green shellfish is quite high, while inventory stocks are still limited. It is a promising business opportunity for green shellfish cultivation. In addition, the market for this commodity is also widely spread to foreign countries.

TECHNIQUE OF GREEN GREEN CULTIVATION

One business opportunity that is quite popular among the community is the cultivation of green shells. Many people who like to consume green mussels because it tastes quite delicious and high nutritional value. Nutritional content in green shells include water, protein, fat, carbohydrates and ash. The nutritional value of green mussels is equivalent to beef, chicken and chicken eggs.

Green shells are animals that have two green shells and live in the ocean. Green shells are found in the depth of the sea between 1 - 7 meters. Indonesia is one of the potential producer of green mussels. The distribution of green shells is almost evenly distributed across the coasts of Indonesia, especially the beaches of the island of Lombok. Green shells multiply rapidly from March to July.

Green Shell Reproduction

Green shells belong to the classification of ovipora animals that have sperm cells and eggs are numerous and microscopic. How to breed the green shell is the outer fertilization, which is to remove sperm cells and eggs in the water and let it mix. The mixing will produce fertilization. In just 24 hours, the eggs will hatch and become larvae. The larvae will grow to spat until the age of 15-20 days. After that, they will grow into adult green shells at the age of 5-6 months.

Terms of Locations of Cultivation

Because the number of green shellfish population in Indonesia makes many people want to open a business of shellfish cultivation. Shellfish cultivation technique is quite easy. Cultivators simply provide a sufficient location protected from high currents and do not have high salinity content. The location should also have a muddy and sandy bottom of the water. This is to facilitate easy green shellfish to get the nutrients and nutrients needed during the breed.

Make sure the selected location is free of toxic waste such as copper, zinc, mercury, cadmium, tin hiam and others. Avoid also the location adjacent to the river to avoid household waste like detergent and bath soap. The waste can trigger the emergence of various bacteria such as Echericia coli, Salmonella and Shigella that can be harmful to humans who consume green shellfish. A good location is a location that has temperatures ranging from 27-37 degrees Celsius and pH levels in the numbers 6-8.

In collecting the spat of green shells can be done by entering the collector straps. For collector straps can be made from a variety of simple materials such as coconut fibers, fibers and polyethylene splints. Put the collector's straps on the waters that have many green shell seeds. The beni will move and attach to the collector rope naturally. After that, the collector rope can be moved to the cultivation container. In the absence of green shell seeds around the cultivation site, seed transplants can be carried out from other areas.

How to Cultivate

How to cultivate green shells there are four, namely tancap, tread raft, floating raft and longline. Raft method tancap is a common method used by the community. This method is a combination of two ways of cattle, namely tancap and floating raft. The trick is to stick bamboo to the bottom of the water. Make sure the location of the raft has been calculated based on the low water level when it is up or down. This is important so that the raft does not experience drought. Then put the collector straps on the raft tancap. The recommended distance for each rope is one meter. In about 6 months, we can get about 20-25 kg for each rope.
