Society is changing every day, life is repeating itself, life is short, even if it is a hundred years in a hurry, it is not enough to see the prosperity of the world. But some creatures don't live for a hundred years at all, and some are born in the summer and have no life until the fall.

On the African Road lives a creature called the Ferzeri tail medaka, which is the shortest-lived vertebrate fish in existence. Its life cycle is only 6 weeks. In this short period of one and a half months, it will change from a fish egg to a small fish, grow into an adult, then lay eggs, and then die. Although it does not die like a grasshopper, every time the sun rises, it indicates that it is aging rapidly.
The life of the Fozerui tail medaka is so short that even the merchants of the e-commerce platform are reluctant to sell it. So most wild fish still live peacefully in their native land, in large tropical rainforests near the equator. Aside from the scientists who study biology, not many people pay attention to it.
The researchers were a truly academic group of people who were interested in the rate at which the Ferzeuri tail medaka matured, and after comparing the physiological characteristics of other organisms, seemed to have discovered the door to a new world. A foreigner who studies this fish believes that we can better find products that promote development and prevent aging by studying this fish.
Of course, every year, a large number of people devote themselves to the study of countless experiments, and whether the researchers' speculations can be realized is not a conclusion that can be drawn in recent years. Anyway, we put the medaka that we couldn't play with, and in another area became a fragrant feast.
In any era, we are desperate to extend our lives. If you can't live longer than your predecessors, you can at least make aging come later. Most of the world's restorative cosmetics like to use the term "anti-aging" to define product characteristics. So there's always been a secret about age that people rack their brains to get their hands on. In the Forzeri tail medaka, researchers are digging up this secret.
Relying on the study of fish genetic analogies to human aging is actually a bit jumpy, but the death of fish is also related to aging, which is consistent with the trajectory of human life. Researchers have found that the aging of life is related to "harmful mutations" that accumulate in the genome. Unlike humans, the Ferzeuri tail medaka has an extended genome. It's like a mysterious treasure chest, and whatever it hides, it's worth exploring.

Since there is no such information in China, it is not known what relationship this extended genome has to do with anti-aging. But since the researchers expected it, it shows that the fish does hide something we are looking for. As for what it is, I am afraid that only time will give the answer.
For the average fish farmer, the Ferzerui medaka is a small fish that we can't get, but based on the love of ornamental fish, knowing more than one magical little fish is enough to make people happy. On the way to explore, we will encounter more interesting fish, our horizons will be broader, our experience will be richer, and our lives will be more exciting.
