People come and go on the river, but love the beauty of sea bass. Jun looked at a leaf boat, haunted by the storm. This is the Song Dynasty poet Fan Zhongyan's five-word sentence, from the first two sentences of this poem we can understand the delicacy of sea bass, but why are the people coming and going from the river? Are sea bass freshwater? Until now, many friends are very confused, why some people say that sea bass is seawater, and some people say that sea bass is fresh water, what is going on?

Flower perch (sea bass)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > is common in aquatic products with multiple things with the same name</h1>
Due to the large variety of aquatic animals, many people have different names between different regions, which sometimes different species have the same name. In Fujian and many areas north of Fujian, yellow croaker is our common species of yellow croaker genus, but in the Pearl River Delta, Zhuhai yellow croaker often refers to the totoaba genus of toaba, which is well known as the American redfish, as well as the base shrimp introduced in the previous article, some places are Japanese pneumatic shrimp, and some places refer to the knife-fronted new shrimp.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > there are nearly ten species called perch in China</h1>
When it comes to sea bass, friends living in different regions often think of different species. I am currently living in Zhuhai, when I say sea bass, the first thing I think of is sea bass, also known as flower perch; if it is a friend living in Foshan and some inland areas, a sea bass often thinks of California perch; if you live in the Yangtze River estuary area, then when you say sea bass, you may think of Songjiang sea bass, and Fan Zhongyan's poem is talking about this fish. At present, I know that there are more than a dozen perch, in addition to the three introduced above, there are golden perch, gem perch, Australian perch, river perch and big-eyed griffin.
California perch
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > whether the perch is fresh or saltwater</h1>
Because China is a vast area, full of many species, and some are introduced from abroad, sometimes people tend to simplify the name in order to make it convenient, which causes different species to call the same name, such as the perch we are discussing.
The sea bass actually has both seawater and fresh water, depending on which species it refers to. At present, there are four or five common species of sea bass in China, of which California perch and gem perch are freshwater fish; sea bass and golden perch are marine fish; Songjiang sea bass is a fish in the estuarine area that grows in seawater and freshwater.

At present, for the majority of inland friends, sea bass often refers to freshwater California perch, because with the expansion of California perch culture area in the past five years, its popularity far exceeds that of sea bass. Due to the fast growth rate of California perch, resistant to transportation and tender meat, it is welcomed by the majority of consumers, so California perch is almost everywhere in China, and friends who farm California perch can be seen everywhere.
For the question of whether the sea bass is a marine fish or a freshwater fish, there is really no very certain answer, because there are several fish called sea bass, and there are both freshwater and seawater, if you really can't tell whether it is a freshwater sea bass or a marine sea bass, then you can judge by the color of the body surface. If the body surface is dark gray, this is often a sea bass in the seawater, and if the body color is yellow, this is often a freshwater California perch.
So, where do you live, what kind of fish is the perch? Welcome to leave a message to discuss!
