As the old saying goes: the rich play with birds, and the poor fish. In the past, this was the case, and the average wealthy family had the capital to raise birds as pets. And those who don't have money can only rely on fishing to pass the time, because this is not only low-cost, but also the fish caught can satisfy the family's cravings.
But now the times are different, fishing, as a traditional leisure activity, has become a very popular leisure and entertainment project, by the majority of fishing friends. Now that the weather is warmer, many anglers are going out.
However, it should be noted that unlike in the past, there are many "rules" for fishing nowadays, and even some behaviors are still illegal, and if you don't follow them, you will not only be fined, but even jailed. For example, the "loach fishing method" that I want to introduce to you today is despised by many anglers, and this method is also expressly prohibited.
Some people wonder why they can use earthworms to fish, why can't they use loaches to fish? What are the dangers of loach fishing, and why is it banned? Some veteran fishers know how harmful it is, and they can fish out a reservoir in a few days.
First, the principle of loach fishing.
Everyone also knows that fishing is to catch bait, and you can't catch fish without bait, unless it's "Jiang Taigong". And loach fishing, as the name suggests, is a method of using live loaches as bait for fishing, or directly using live loaches to make nests for fishing.
The principle is to use the dynamics generated by the loach swimming in the water to attract the attention of fish, especially carnivorous fish such as blackfish and sea bass. It is not difficult to operate, that is, the angler hangs the live loach as bait on the hook, or sprinkles the loach as bait in the water to make a nest, so as to lure the target fish to take the bait.
These carnivorous fish, once they find these foods, will bite like crazy. Then other carnivorous fish in the water will also be attracted to it, which will increase the success rate of fishing and greatly increase the catch.
However, it is this characteristic of loaches that makes loach fishing gradually evolve into a fishing method that destroys the ecological balance in some areas, and many professional anglers are very disdainful of this behavior.
Because some anglers use loaches as bait and nesting in order to pursue higher fishing efficiency, a large number of non-standard fishing methods such as loaches and nests, which pose a serious threat to aquatic biological resources and the ecological environment.
2. The hazards of loach fishing and the reasons for prohibiting it
Why is it said that fishing with loaches will cause damage to other environmental and aquatic resources? This is because loach fishing has gone against the original purpose of fishing.
Many people fish, in fact, mainly as a way of recreational fish, do not necessarily care about how many fish they catch. Xiaobian also loves fishing, so he often goes fishing with fishing friends. Everyone is just experiencing the process and not caring how many fish they actually catch. Many people are often "air force", but they still enjoy fishing and go every time they have time.
However, for those who specialize in loach fishing, they do not fish for pleasure, but for profit, mainly because they want to use loaches as bait to catch a large number of carnivorous fish in the water, and then take them to the market to sell for money, so as to make a profit. Therefore, such harm is very large and cannot be ignored.
First of all, it will cause damage to the ecological balance.
This is also the biggest harm of the "loach party" fishing with loaches, the use of loaches as bait will lead to a sharp decrease in the number of carnivorous fish in the waters, after all, these carnivorous fish are a very important link in the biological chain, and their number of small decreases will destroy the ecological balance of the waters.
After all, many carnivorous fish eat very ferociously, and they hunt like crazy as long as there is food. In particular, if you use loaches to make a nest, a large number of carnivorous fish in the water will attract them, and they will be fished one after another.
It has been reported before that some anglers found that some people used loaches to fish and make nests, and in just a few days, they basically fished out all the carnivorous fish in a reservoir, which shows its power. Therefore, such fishing methods may lead to overfishing of target fish, leading to the depletion of fish resources and destroying the ecological balance of the waters.
Secondly, it is also very harmful to the loaches. If you want to fish with loaches, you have to go to the bazaar and buy loaches, which are caught in the waters. Some people buy loaches for fishing, and they buy a lot of them at once, because they need to be used to make nests. In the eyes of those who don't understand, using loaches to make a nest is a release.
In fact, this is not the case, because these loaches are fed some medicine first, so that they will not run away if they nest.
In this way, even if the loaches are released, they will not live long and then die. This is also harmful to other creatures in the water.
Finally, the risk of biological invasion.
Putting loaches in a body of water, after all, is an alien creature and can also cause biological invasion problems. In particular, loaches are even more dangerous if they are mixed with other alien species.
When large numbers of loaches are released into new aquatic environments, they may quickly adapt and reproduce, competing with local populations for living space and threatening local biodiversity.
In view of the destructive and unsustainable nature of loach fishing to the ecological environment, and in order to protect aquatic biological resources and the ecological environment, a series of laws and regulations have been formulated in many provinces in China to explicitly prohibit loach fishing and other behaviors that disrupt the ecological balance.
Among them, in Sichuan, Chongqing, Jiangxi and other provinces in the Yangtze River basin, live bait fishing is prohibited. The banned live bait here is not only loach, but also all fish and shrimp that can survive in the water.
If the situation is serious, you will face a fine of up to 20,000 yuan, and even if it constitutes a crime, you need to face a criminal penalty of up to 3 years in prison.
And the reason why you can fish with earthworms is because earthworms are not aquatic creatures, and that's the difference.
3. Other prohibited fishing methods
In recent years, the state attaches great importance to the protection of the ecological environment, in order to protect the water resources of various places and avoid damage. In addition to the prohibition of live bait fishing such as loaches, there are also prohibitions on fishing with electric fish, poisonous fish, fried fish, and nets.
It is illegal even if it is not in a closed area and within a closed period, and it is even more serious if it is during a closed period or in a closed area.
For electric fish, you should be familiar with it, in the past, electric fish was a very common way of fishing in rural areas. Electric fish is extremely damaging to aquatic biological resources, not only directly killing a large number of fish, but also may lead to long-term damage to the ecological environment of the waters.
Fish bombing, on the other hand, is the act of using explosives to bomb waters, so that the fish jump out of the water due to fright, so that they are caught. Exploding fish is also extremely destructive, not only potentially leading to the depletion of fish stocks, but also potentially having long-term effects on the aquatic environment.
In addition, poisonous fish, not to mention, poisonous fish not only directly endanger fish resources, but also may pose a potential threat to the ecological environment and human health of the waters.
IV. Concluding remarks
Well, you should understand by now that loach fishing as bait is a way of fishing that seriously disrupts the ecological balance and has been explicitly banned.
Through these introductions, we should also realize the importance of protecting the ecological environment and biodiversity, and hope that the majority of anglers can uphold the original intention, enjoy the fun of fishing, and achieve civilized fishing, rather than fishing for fame and fortune.
If someone is found to be fishing with live bait such as loaches, or fishing with prohibited methods or prohibited tools that seriously damage fishery resources such as electric fish, poisonous fish, and explosive fish, you can also actively report to the relevant local departments in a timely manner, which is also a contribution to the protection of the ecological environment. #春日生活打卡季#
