A few days ago, Ayu, a fishing enthusiast who lives in the Panyu District of Guangzhou, came to the nearby river ditch with friends to fish, and because the water in the river is more serious, he fished with a sea rod.
According to Ah Yu, because there are few fish mouths when fishing, so I was chatting with friends on the shore, and suddenly heard the bell tied to the fishing rod making a continuous sound, hurriedly got up and picked up the fishing rod, and the big fish was hooked.
However, this one is not very large, but the strength is not small, and it takes several minutes to pull it with a sea pole before it comes ashore. At first glance, this fish thought it was an oversized sturgeon, but the fish had sharp teeth in its mouth, so it mistakenly thought it was a piranha.

Therefore, he and his friends did not dare to catch this fish with their hands, and let this fish bounce on the shore, and even watched the fish run away! Ah Yu thought he had caught a piranha, so he posted the video on the Internet, but learned that it was not a piranha, but an exotic fish species called freshwater white pomfret.
After seeing it, the netizen said: "Xin Hao did not catch it with his hands, because the teeth of this fish are very sharp, and it can bite off the fishing line of the fish hook." Another netizen said: "Not long ago, my colleague's fingers were bitten."

Freshwater white pomfret, native to the Amazon basin of South America, scientific name is short-caped giant fat carp, is a close relative of piranhas, and looks very similar to piranhas. However, freshwater white pomfret is an omnivorous fish.
In natural waters, freshwater white pomfret mainly preys on some small fish, shrimp and aquatic insects, but also eats some aquatic plants, algae and other plant foods. However, in the case of insufficient food, freshwater white pomfrets will swallow each other.

According to the habits of freshwater white pomfret, it usually does not take the initiative to attack people, but because its teeth are very sharp, it must be careful when catching freshwater white pomfret, because it is often scratched by its teeth or not noticed that it is bitten.
In addition, freshwater white pomfret is a large omnivorous fish that grows extremely fast. A freshwater white pomfret fry can grow up to about 2 pounds in that year, and the maximum size can grow to more than 40 pounds.

< h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > third, the main reason why freshwater pomfret appears in the ditch</h1>
Freshwater white pomfret is a suitable for breeding economic fish, because freshwater white pomfret has the advantages of fast growth, strong disease resistance, large physique, and less fine spines of fish, so it was introduced to China in 1985, and achieved successful breeding after 2 years.
At the time, freshwater white pomfret was promoted as a high-quality aquaculture species, but because freshwater white pomfret is a tropical fish, it is not tolerant to low temperatures. When the water temperature is below 12 ° C, there is a large area of death.
Therefore, freshwater white pomfret can only be farmed in subtropical areas such as Guangdong and Guangxi. The main reason why freshwater white pomfrets, which were originally in farms, ran into the ditches of natural waters is due to poor management in the process of breeding.
When the rainy season comes, continuous heavy rainfall causes farms to be engulfed by rainwater, causing a large number of freshwater pomfret to flee, and there is also a kind of artificial release. Therefore, in the ditches of the Guangzhou area, it is normal to catch freshwater white pomfret.

< h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > fisherman has something to say:</h1>
Although freshwater white pomfret is an edible fish, the number of such fish in natural waters cannot be too large, but after traveling a large group, it will squeeze the living space of native fish species.

It may even pose a threat of extinction to some small fish and shrimp. Therefore, the fisherman recommends that you fishing friends, in the natural waters caught freshwater white pomfret do not release, but take home more onions and ginger. #Fishing##Wild Fishing ##淡水白鲳鱼 #
