The incident of catching "strange fish" in Pingdingshan has been rumored in recent days, and the incident once occupied the top few days of the hot search list.
However, the capture scene of "such a fuss" also finally achieved a satisfactory result, and the two "strange fish" were finally captured, and fortunately, the protagonist of this capture was indeed an alien species of crocodile eel as originally speculated.
What exactly is the cause and effect of the event?
So, if you really understand the real harm of this alien species, perhaps you will not think that such a large-scale arrest scene is just a "fuss" behavior.
The cause of this incident is this, in mid-July, when a Ruzhou citizen was visiting the city's central park, he accidentally found a large fish with a body length of about 80 centimeters in the lake, and then took a closer look and found that he did not know this fish at all. Out of curiosity, he checked the information on the Internet and finally determined that the strange fish found this time was somewhat suspected of being an alien species - the crocodile eel.
So the citizen told the park manager about the discovery.
After the management made several decisions, it was found that it was indeed as the citizen said, and then, after many deliberations, it was unanimously agreed to "pump the lake".
This also led to the "fish catching in the lake" incident that occurred later.
Drain the lake for a month, just to catch these two fish, is it worth it?
Many people really don't understand that in order to catch these two fish, draining a lake of water on a large scale, such a behavior of "laboring the people and hurting the money" is really worth it?
First of all, we understand the crocodile eel, after understanding, we will not think that their operation is really for the people to eliminate harm!
Alligator eel: North American species, belongs to the largest of the 7 largest eels in North America, with a maximum body length of up to 3 meters and a weight of more than 100 kg.
Crocodile eels are large, ferocious fish that live mainly in freshwater and prefer to live alone. The whole body is covered with thick hard scales, the mouth is shaped like a crocodile's mouth, and at the same time, it has sharp teeth.
Crocodile eels are mainly divided into the gulf rivers and estuarine waters of Mexico and the United States, as well as the Missouri River and the lower Ohio River.
Crocodile eels are prehistoric fish that have lived on Earth for more than 100 million years and are a typical paleontological species.
In addition, there are two main reasons why the alligator eel is so clearly valued.
The first is its own harm.
Crocodile eels are carnivorous fish, super destructive, there is a saying that "as long as it is a living creature in the water, it can almost all eat", even such as water birds in swamp areas, also belong to their foraging objects.
In addition, the alligator eel has a huge amount of food, although they do not have a chewing function, but it can also eat 1/4 of the body's food, which is also based on their oversized self, and crocodile-like teeth.
However, although it is very aggressive, they will not attack prey or people that are larger than 1/2 of their size!
Second, their ability to reproduce, and their toxicity!
The lifespan of the alligator eel is 25-50 years, and the maximum lifespan is 75 years. And every year from May to August for their mating spawning period, and a mating can bring up to 140,000 to 200,000 eggs to the female, but in North America, its egg hatching success rate is very low, which also benefits from the fact that there are more aquatic fierce fish there, and it is normal for the eggs to be eaten as food.
However, if there is a lack of natural enemies, the success rate of hatching of the eggs of alligator eels is not the same, and their egg incubation period is only 6 to 8 days.
However, although the alligator eel has a strong spawning capacity, its sexual maturity is very late, the male is about 6 years old, and the female needs up to 11 years.
Having said that they have spawned, let's talk about another potential hazard of theirs, that is, they are toxic.
The eggs of alligator eels are toxic and can be life-threatening if eaten without their knowledge. However, a small amount of consumption, although it will not cause danger to life, but it will also cause harm.
This was also confirmed as early as 2018, when in the northeast, a gentleman surnamed Zhao, when buying vegetables in the vegetable market, found a fishmonger selling an unknown fish and roe, so he was curious and bought some to eat at home.
However, after eating less than two bites, there was abdominal pain that was unbearable, and due to the lack of consumption and the strong body, he finally recovered after a few days of hospitalization.
Therefore, after understanding its harm, looking back at the arrest incident, do you still think that in order to catch these two fish, it is again a fishing team, and it takes a month to drain the lake, is this a labor and money?
Moreover, this time the capture of a male and a female two crocodile eels, if left unchecked, then in the next few years, the entire park lake will be their world. Even if you put more fish, you are just putting food on them.
Moreover, once they successfully mate and reproduce, the consequences are really unimaginable.
At the same time, Pingdingshan Park Lake is the state of five lakes connection, although there is a net interception at the mouth of the passage, but once it breeds, the small crocodile eel is easy to pass through the mesh and flow into other lakes.
The consequence of this will only be more lakes and more native fish.
Summary!
Therefore, in my opinion, this large-scale arrest is not a fuss, but a real and never-ending problem. Moreover, once the alligator gar reaches adulthood and reaches its maximum weight, then, under the premise of lack of food sources. If it happens that residents swim in the water, they do not rule out attacks on humans when they lack food.
However, looking back at the incident, the most worrying thing is who put these two alien species, which is the most critical reason. It is precisely because of the act of release that it has led to the entire arrest of pumping water.
Therefore, I sincerely remind those who "love" to be released, do not let loose, the consequences of your "good deeds" are very painful!
