Features: The Chinese mitten crab (Hippocampus sinensis) is a specialty of China. It is rich in nutrition, has a unique flavor, and has been regarded as a delicacy at banquets since ancient times. In 2000, China's production of Chinese mitten crabs first exceeded 200,000 tons. Due to its relatively high market price, it has become a preferred species in the current restructuring of the aquatic industry, and its aquaculture has developed rapidly. China's history of Chinese mitten crab aquaculture is not long, and the aquaculture technology is still in the exploratory stage of gradually transitioning from rough to refined. The level of technology adoption in aquaculture is not high. Driven by profit, fishermen havely expanded aquaculture, leading to a growing area of Chinese mitten crab farming. In the rapid development of the Chinese mitten crab aquaculture industry, a series of problems have emerged, such as: degradation of genetic resources, smaller size of adult crabs, deterioration of aquaculture environments, and increasingly severe diseases in crabs. These issues have seriously affected the sustainable development of the Chinese mitten crab aquaculture industry. With the improvement of people's living standards, Chinese mitten crabs have gradually appeared on the tables of ordinary households, and at the same time, people's demand for the quality of Chinese mitten crabs has also become higher. Improving the aquaculture technology of Chinese mitten crabs and implementing standardized, healthy aquaculture have become urgent priorities. This book, Standardized Production Technology of Chinese Mitten Crabs, was written to meet the current needs of the Chinese mitten crab aquaculture industry. It integrates the rich experience of Chinese mitten crab aquaculture production and the latest research findings, referencing the National Standards of the People's Republic of China and the Agricultural Industry Standards of the People's Republic of China. It provides in-depth discussions on standardized selection of varieties, standardized environmental control, standardized feed formulation, standardized larval feed culture, standardized artificial seed production technology, standardized juvenile crab culture, standardized adult crab farming, standardized harvesting and transportation, and standardized disease prevention and control. It combines scientific rigor, advanced technology, guidance, and practicality, making it an excellent reference for teaching, research, and technical personnel.
