In recent years, fishing has become a new form of national sports and entertainment. More and more anglers are appearing at the edge of large rivers and streams, holding their own rods, ready to do a big job. Among this group of fishermen, although there are many air forcemen, there are also people with real skills.
Among these people, there will always be some people who will catch magical big fish, or strange magical fish species. Before, a fisherman in Fujian encountered a magical thing. This angler's surname is Li, and he is an old angler with extremely rich fishing experience. The place he frequented was a big river in Fujian.
On the same day, fishing friend Lao Li set off again. Coming to the familiar river, Lao Li was very skilled in finding a good fishing position. When everything was ready, Lao Li began today's fishing. It didn't take long for a fish to take the bait. After fighting for a while, the fish was pulled out of the water by Lao Li. Under the sun, the snow-white and silver scales are extremely conspicuous and dazzling.
When he saw this fish, Lao Li was very happy. Because this fish is not small, you can tell at a glance that it is a good catch. But after Lao Li took the fish in his hand, this joyful mood disappeared.
It turned out that the fish that Lao Li caught was not a common fish in the local area. What's even more frightening is that this fish also looks very similar to two common fish. The body shape is biased towards the shape of a fusiform, like a grass carp. But the upturned head of the fish looks a lot like a cocked mouth. What's going on, is this a hybrid of grass carp and cocked beak?
With such doubts, Lao Li and a few people around him began to search again. Eventually, they found the answer. This fish, which resembles both grass carp and a cocked beak, is really not a hybrid, but an alien species: the giant scaly catfish.
This fish, native to Uzbekistan, is a broad-temperature economic fish. Due to its delicious meat, easy farming, strong survivability, high survival rate, and omnivorous characteristics that will not affect the life of other local fish, it was introduced to the mainland and became a new type of farmed fish.
The large-scaled catfish, also known as silver cod, is very simple in farming technology. Their requirements for the quality of living waters are not very high. And they are extremely adaptable to temperature, from south to north temperature they can adapt well. This state made them easily become the darlings of farmed fish, and began to enter farms all over the country.
This time, the big scale catfish caught by Fujian fishing friend Lao Li probably accidentally ran out of the farm. When encountering such a fish, it can be regarded as Lao Li's successful miss. After all, if this fish is to be sold in the market, the price is not very low.
In addition to this one, it is unknown whether there are other large scales in this river. Fortunately, the catfish does not have any impact on the waters, nor does it cause an existential crisis for other native fish like other farmed fish. This seems to be very good. Even if it flows out, it is not a big deal.
In recent years, alien species have become a great threat to continental waters. Due to the lack of natural predators, the survival of many native fish species is being challenged. In particular, the appearance of alligator eels makes people feel palpitations.
Here, the editor reminds all anglers that if you encounter fish you don't know when fishing, please verify it before releasing it. If you accidentally misplace, it will not benefit the local waters. What do you think about this?
