When it comes to the best seafood in the sea, many may answer lobsters, abalone, sea cucumbers and the like, but the sword-edged sturgeon will definitely be ignored, in Japan's famous gout pot, puffer fish white seeds and squid liver are definitely the best in many seafood.
In many film and television animations about the deep sea, in many cases there will be a small lantern hanging on the head, a small fish swimming in the middle of the world, commonly known as the lantern fish, the scientific name of this type of lantern fish is called "squid", which is commonly found in the tropical and subtropical seabed waters in various oceans, and is a global fish species.
Sturgeon
There are now more than two hundred species of sturgeon known worldwide, most of which live in the dark trenches of the Atlantic Ocean and the deep seas of Antarctica, and a small number of which live in shallow tropical natural environments. They all look different in size, but compared to us, they have one thing in common, that is, one word: ugly!
They generally have a smoky gray to dark brown color, have large scythe-like lips, and have sharp, acrylic teeth. Some species of sturgeon are so large that they can grow to more than 1 meter. The common variety is about 0.4 meters. Their fat torso has no fish scales and has an unsmooth skin surface. At first glance, they look a bit like toads, so Dalian people also call them "toad fish".
The fierce and ugly look of the trout is easy to be daunting, and most of the trout have long settled in the deep waters of thousands of meters deep, living like underwater ghosts in the lonely and dark seabed. Anyway, there is no light, which also allows them to play with them casually, so it is getting uglier and uglier.
I feel that this look is definitely not a partner for us, but it is not a matter of squid at all. The sturgeon shows what is called self-confidence! It can make lovers willing to "eat soft rice" and eat until the earth is barren! In the world of squid, every male fish is a door-to-door son-in-law, and all of them are soft rice men.
Our scientific research on sturgeon originated in the nineteenth century, when zoologists were fascinated by sturgeon. Puzzlingly, none of the samples they found were males, much less what the males looked like. Sometimes biologists will catch a fish with a similar body structure to the horned trout, but the fish is much smaller, less than 1 cm long, and with the rest of the differences, it is eventually classified under another species.
It wasn't until the 1920s that biologists caught a female horned trout. Two fish much smaller than it were found to use their snouts to stick to the lower abdomen of the female. Initially they thought that these small fish might be the fry of the female, but this kind of care for the fry was too special.
Until two more years later, the puzzle was finally solved, and the biologist Gen carried out a bureau analysis of it, and was surprised to find that this small fish did not belong to another species population, nor was it the fry of the female fish, which was the male fish of the catfish!
Male sturgeon
Scales fall from one's eyes! The male fish that has quietly disappeared from the sturgeon has actually been on the female squid all along! And it has been ignored by scientists. This type of male sturgeon is much smaller than the female, the female can usually grow up to 1 meter in length, and the male is usually only a few millimeters! At its limit, females are nearly seventy times longer than males and weigh more than half a million times more than males!
The great difference in body shape creates the possibility of the male fish's "eating soft rice", and the male fish does not miss the various benefits of the difference in body shape, and it reaches the pure state of "eating soft rice" by abandoning the foraging function.
The female sturgeon has a rod-shaped glowing object on her head, like a fishing rod hanging from the bait, and is known as "quasi-bait". Like Jiang Taigong, the trout waits for other small fish and shrimp and other small animals to be deceived, and has sharp teeth, they also have a huge mouth, tough body, which makes their mouth have a surprising closing function, able to swallow twice as large as themselves.
But this kind of characteristic male fish has been abandoned, it has no small lanterns, no large mouth and fangs, and even does not have to forage for food, but by adhering to the female's body directly from the female body to obtain nutrients, in the female spawning time to provide sperm cells can be. This type of relationship is called "sexual parasitism" in academia.
I think in short, it means eating soft rice with the reason of love and relying on his wife in a dignified manner. Some sturgeon even take this sexual parasite to the extreme. This male only matures sexually after he has married his partner, and if the male cannot find a female in the first few months of life, he will die!
So the male can do only one thing in his life: try to find the female, and parasitize. Worthy of being the strongest door-to-door son-in-law, born soft rice man!
