This kind of fish, which qingdao people are familiar with, is ugly no longer. Looking at this picture, you must feel familiar, this is not a sturgeon! Yes, this is what the people of Qingdao call "Jiebazi fish".
Sturgeon
Let's start with some serious things
It is the animal that is "dumb and cute" (eating lotus chou) in the picture below.........
鮟鱇鱼（The Angler Fish）
What do you say she's ugly?
In fact, we must also be considerate of others...
The sea is dark and autumnal
Who can see whom...
Don't everyone just grow up...
Scare you just unintentionally
Don't be so disgusted with people...
People have a lot of relatives of different forms...
Relatives of the sturgeon
Well, when I didn't say...
In fact, their little baby is still quite cute
Without further ado, above!

Involuntarily thinking of the marriage (mating) of the squid
It should be said that the marriage of the squid
It is the most interesting way in the current xiaobian cognition
Life and death love
Usually, people's first impressions of the squid may appear in the 2003 animated film Finding Nemo.
The squid has a terrible face, a lure of seduction on the top of its head, an exaggerated mouth, and sharp teeth. But the mating behavior and strange parasitic life of this deep-sea fish may be more like a horror movie than a cartoon.
An old fisherman once told me
We are at the seafood market
Sturgeon that can be seen, bought and eaten
All are females
I was weird at the time
Where did the males go?
When the editor saw
"Male sturgeon is vying for the title of the world's smallest vertebrate"
Scales fall from one's eyes
Originally......
The male fish are going to compete!
In fact, according to Ted Pietsch, director of the Burke Museum at the University of Washington and an expert on sturgeon, females may be 60 times longer and weigh 500,000 times more than males.
A rare picture of a male sturgeon on the Internet
Of course, it's definitely not going to the competition
So where did the males go?
Male and female sturgeon
It takes a transformation to reach adulthood
Females grow huge teeth and become plump at the same time
As well as growing mature eyes and large nostrils
Males also grow to lose their previous teeth
In its place is a set of pincer-shaped small teeth
This row of teeth appears at the front of its chin
Facts proved
This is the necessary equipment for male well-being fish mating
Male sturgeon spend their entire lives looking for female sturgeon. In some species, males' highly sensitive sense of smell helps them focus on finding female pheromones. In other species, males have underdeveloped nostrils, and they rely on superior vision to discern the light emitted from the female's head.
Once the male finds the female, it will lock the female's abdomen tightly with its teeth and then turn the whole body upside down. After that, the physiological tissues of the two began to merge with each other, and even the two circulatory systems were connected, but people did not know how this happened.
After fusion, the male becomes part of the female and permanently relies on the female's blood system for transporting nutrients. The female who is the host becomes a self-fattening hermaphrodite. Males at this time also grow and grow larger than those in a free state. They are still alive and can continue to reproduce as long as the females are alive.
Female sturgeon actually have no leeway in the choice of mate. In some well-being species, females can even be hosts to multiple males, sometimes carrying up to eight males.
When the female is ready to mate, both release sperm and eggs at the same time to form ivory fertilization. This is true even in a multi-male state, where the simultaneous release of sperm and egg may be regulated by hormones.
If these males do not find a female in the first few months of life, their lives will end.

In the relatives of the sturgeon
There is also a more special one
The act of intercourse is short and interesting
The female excretes several gelatinous eggs
It is used to adsorb male sperm floating with seawater
The fertilized egg floats to the surface for several days
Sink to the bottom of the sea again
Until the fetus hatches out
The world's top ten ugly fish competition
We said that earlier
Everyone in the sea is casually long
