Yangtze River Jun: Because of the exotic species brought by the aquaculture industry, there are often many "rare and strange fish" in the rivers and lakes in various parts of China.
A fishing enthusiast in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, caught two "strange fish" in a local mountain reservoir, which was a fish species that had never been seen before...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > caught two "strange fish" and sold for hundreds of dollars</h1>
“...... Just caught these two (strange fish), the perch is not like the perch mandarin fish is not like the mandarin fish, each one is more than 7 pounds, it should be the rest of the previous breeding...."
The Taizhou angler, Mr. Wang, shared this peculiar "catch" in the fishing community.
These two fish do look quite strange, covered with stars and stripes, and should be a carnivorous fish.
Later, when the angler took the two fish to the fish market for questioning, Ma Shan was bought by a "restaurant owner" for 25 yuan a catty.
Therefore, he guessed that the meat quality of this fish should be very delicious...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > netizens: blood loss, can sell for thousands of yuan</h1>
Catching two fish in the reservoir can sell for hundreds of yuan, which can be said to be rare.
However, after some netizens saw it, they shouted "Blood loss, this fish is five or six pounds, two are estimated to sell thousands of pieces...."-What kind of fish is this?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > is actually "Australian perch"</h1>
Although the australian dragon stripe has a spot in its name, it is not actually a grouper, but a carnivorous freshwater fish of the genus Wheat perch in the family Euphthalidae – simply put, it can be considered an "Australian perch".
The fleshy taste of the Australian dragon stripes is closer to that of the perch, delicate and soft, but compared with the native perch and the American largemouth bass (that is, commonly known as the vegetable perch), the flesh of the Australian dragon stripes is more plump and fat.
Therefore, the market price is also much higher than the above two kinds of sea bass, generally around 40-60 yuan a catty.
The common black perch on the market - generally at 15-20 yuan a pound
From this point of view, many netizens think that the Taizhou angler sold their 25 pounds as a "blood loss", which seems to make sense...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > should be the fry stocked by the original farmer</h1>
Obviously, the two Australian dragon stripes caught by the fishing enthusiast in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, in the local mountain reservoir, should be the fry released by the contracted breeder before the reservoir.
It should be the fry stocked by the predecessors
The Australian dragon stripes are originally large carnivorous fish, and there are no natural enemies in the reservoir, so even if the reservoir stops breeding and no one feeds, they can continue to grow in the reservoir.
——In fact, like this 7-pound large dragon pattern, it can be said that it is the overlord of the reservoir, but I did not expect to be caught by anglers.......
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Which areas are infested with Australian dragon stripes? </h1>
Ferocious food, large size and delicate meat, but also can sell for a higher price....... I believe that many fishing enthusiasts are fascinated by the Australian dragon striped spot.
So in addition to this reservoir in Taizhou, is there any other part of China with Australian dragon stripes?

In fact, according to Yangtze River Jun, Australian dragon stripe breeding is still in its infancy, and the first batch of Australian dragon stripes should start around 2017.
However, because of the high economic value of this fish, it is currently developing rapidly in coastal areas such as southeast China, such as Fujian, Guangdong, Shanghai and Zhejiang, which have been introduced into aquaculture.
It is believed that in the next few years, fishing enthusiasts should be able to see them in fish ponds, reservoirs and other aquaculture water surfaces around the world - there are already some black pits and fishing ponds in the Shanghai area.
As for whether this fish will invade natural rivers everywhere like tilapia and largemouth bass and even flood, it is impossible to predict...
