Gongbei Customs recently announced a case of bringing alien species into the country, and a bus driver Xu treated live lizards as "exotic pets".

During the inspection, the customs officer noticed that Xu's trouser pocket was abnormally raised, and immediately seized 3 live lizards packed in transparent plastic boxes in his trouser pockets. It was identified that two of them were eyelash horns guarding the palace, and one was guarding the palace for monsters. Both are species native to the islands of the South Pacific, small geckos, and are popular with climbing pet enthusiasts in recent years. Customs staff reminded that all live animals except dogs and cats are prohibited from being carried or sent into China without the approval and permission of the mainland administrative department.

Lu Meier still remembers that in August this year, after the incident of catching two alligator eels after Yunchan Lake in the Central Park of Ruzhou City, Henan Province drained nearly 300,000 tons of lake water, Beijing, Hunan, Guangxi, Jiangsu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Yunnan, Shandong and other places reported the discovery of alligator eels, which caused widespread concern about the invasion of alien species.

The alligator eel is a freshwater giant carnivorous fish endemic to North America, which has lived on Earth for more than 100 million years, making it the largest of the seven existing species of gar eels. Its snout protrudes anteriorly, so named for its crocodile-like short snout and two rows of dagger-like sharp teeth densely packed with upper and lower jaws. Its internal organs and fish eggs are highly toxic and are found in the Gulf Coast rivers and estuarine waters from Mexico to Florida, the lower Missouri and Ohio rivers, and two lakes in Nicaragua. There are no alligator eels in China, so alligator eels are invasive alien species and are extremely harmful.

Coincidentally, the cases of invasion of alien species are not only alligator eels, but also man-eating pomfrets, scavengers, guppies, tilapia, etc. are notorious "alien invaders". In addition to these fish, there are also common Brazilian turtles that are also regular visitors to the list of invasive alien species.

Even in terms of these alien species, there are also 3 alien species that have "failed" the most:

The first type: crayfish

Chinese is obsessed with crayfish, and according to the China Crayfish Industry Development Report, crayfish has formed a market of more than 260 billion yuan in China.

Also known as cruzi crayfish, red crayfish and freshwater crayfish. Crayfish are often polycultured in fields of crops such as rice. No artificial hatching is required, once the pond is stocked with stock, it is self-sustaining, and after harvest, there is no need to restock the stock.

Nowadays, crayfish are found all over Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Hunan and other provinces and cities.

Nowadays, crayfish has become one of the indispensable delicacies for late-night snacks. It's put on the table every day. I have to say that the tolerance and broadness of the Chinese are also vividly reflected in the food. As an invasive alien species, crayfish are really a bit of a failure... You know, the original crayfish are alien species, almost eaten as a rare species, and even need to be farmed, so as to meet everyone's needs, you can see everyone's love for crayfish.

The second: bullfrogs

A food similar to crayfish, also an alien species, more ways to prepare, can be charred, can be hotpot, can be stir-fried... For Chinese chefs, ordinary alien species are simply God-given ingredients, which can exert their skills and make more delicious food.

The third type: oysters

If this happens in foreign countries, oysters begin to flood in Denmark, and even affect the ecological balance for a while, and begin to affect the entire ecology, but Danes do not seem to be very interested in oysters.

Earlier, the Danish Embassy in China posted an article on Weibo entitled "Oysters grow all over the coast, but the Danes are not happy at all", the article said that the Danish coast was invaded by Pacific oyster species, and the locals were helpless. The Danish government encouraged people to eliminate the oysters by eating them, but with little success.

After the article was issued, it aroused the discussion of many Chinese netizens. Some netizens said that please open an oyster visa and set up an oyster immigration project.

So

Chinese stomach for deliciousness

But those who came did not refuse

Let's talk

What (delicious) invasive species do you know?

Needless to say, Sister Lu is already a little hungry
