One weekend in 2007, an American man was leisurely rowing a boat singing, enjoying a pleasant weekend, probably because his singing was too loud, accidentally disturbed the Asian carp in the water, suddenly, a dozen large fish jumped out of the water, directly overturned the man's boat, causing the man to fall into the water and die!
Delicious carp overturned the boat, which is unthinkable in China, is the American pot not fragrant? Or are Americans short of salt and oil? I actually let the food be bullied! This has to start in the 70s of the 20th century...
In the sixties and seventies, it was the golden age of industrial development in the United States, but at that time, Americans did not pay much attention to environmental pollution, and industrial wastewater was discharged arbitrarily, resulting in serious water pollution, general eutrophication, causing algae and other aquatic plants to grow wildly, blocking rivers, and leading to serious hypoxia in the water body, which was extremely harmful.
At that time, the US environmental protection department had a whim, they heard that there is a freshwater fish in Asia, which specializes in aquatic plants and plankton, and if they are introduced to the United States... Water pollution - algae growing wildly - fish eating aquatic grass - pollution solution! It's a genius" idea, and the pollution problem is solved perfectly, and it doesn't take much money. Therefore, several "wise" American experts came to Asia from far away to specially select several Asian carp with an astonishing amount of food and confidently put them into the water bodies of the United States.
Sure enough, these foodies from the East quickly became effective, and the algae problem in American water bodies was alleviated to a certain extent, but not long after, just when these experts were glad of their genius ideas, an unexpected scene appeared! These carps can indeed eat, but they can still live!
Due to the lack of natural enemies, algae and other foods are very abundant, soon, Asian carp will flood in the United States, they grow fast, less disease, more raw, adaptable, Native American fish are not opponents at all, some Asian carp grow to 1.5 meters, 50 kilograms of weight is not a problem, and can even jump up to raid, impact the passing ships, dominate American waters. Shengsheng staged a drama of Westerners bullying Indians, the living environment of Native American fish was greatly compressed, and the ecological balance was greatly damaged! Asian carp is listed by the United States as the most dangerous alien species.
According to statistics, since 2010, the United States has spent 388 million US dollars, about 2.6 billion yuan, to manage the Asian carp on the wrong side, but in the face of the strong vitality of Asian carp, these are younger brothers, and Americans can only "look at the carp and sigh".
So why can't they eat like Chinese? After all, the carp family tastes good, haha, but Americans use knives and forks, it's okay to eat steak potatoes, as for carp, the whole body is full of thorns! Have you ever seen a fork pick fish bones? Besides, because of the lack of cooking technology, the general feedback from Americans is that the earthy smell of carp is too strong, let's not eat it!
Without the big natural enemy of human foodies, Asian carp in the United States has really achieved "like a fish in water", and it is logical for the family to prosper, it is said that this year's "looking at carp sighing" Michigan also specially offered a reward of $1 million to the society to collect good strategies for the management of Asian carp, I don't know what tricks the majority of netizens have?
