Largemouth catfish, also known as Egyptian pond catfish, is a relatively large fish species, this fish has eight whiskers, can weigh up to 100 pounds, is a very fierce carnivorous fish species, but it is very fond of eating rotten food, so few people dare to eat this fish.
Catfish are invasive alien species that were previously introduced domestically as an economic fish species. This fish has very low water quality requirements, and is extremely adaptable, and there are few deaths, so domestic farmers like this fish very much.
But this fish looks very ugly, and slowly it is no longer sought after by the market, and finally it has become a "scavenger" in the sewers, and it has to be said that it is a "tragedy" that it was introduced to China.
Now this kind of Egyptian pond catfish is very much in Guangdong, and the fishing friends who catch this dozens of pounds are also Cantonese, but why would others persuade him to release the large catfish weighing dozens of kilograms? Let's talk about why!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > why onlookers advised him to release it</h1>
The first reason for this is that this fish is very "dirty" because this catfish likes to eat carrion, and these foods are often accompanied by bacteria, so this fish we catch in the wild or try not to eat.
Decomposing animal carcasses are the food source of this fish, and the food they pay the most attention to is some animal carcasses, such as some dead pigs, dead ducks, dead chickens and so on.
Often these rivers have dead animal carcasses in the waters will have a large number of Egyptian pond mackerel, when the temperature is high, the naked eye can see the flocks of Egyptian pond flounder swimming on the surface of the water, but before we get close to the shore we can smell the decomposition of animal carcasses.
In order to save the cost and time of disposal, some farmers will breed livestock after death, they will pack these animal carcasses in bags and throw them into the river, which not only brings a lot of food to the Egyptian pond fish, but also seriously damages the water quality of the local rivers.
In some rivers in Guangdong, a large number of animal carcasses can be found, these corpses rot after the stink, turning the original clear river water black and green, if you catch Egyptian pond carp in this river, do you dare to take it back to eat?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > can Egyptian pond mackerel eat? </h1>
Of course, Egyptian pond mackerel can be eaten, after all, it was introduced into the country as an economic fish species. Egyptian pond carp is actually very delicious as a grilled fish, this fish and our local catfish taste similar, but its individual is larger, so it is not particularly convenient to eat, so in the domestic this farmed freshwater fish slowly declined, will fall into the river "scavenger"
Edible Egyptian pond flounder must be a fish of clean water and not fed rotting carcasses, because this will ensure that we can eat them safely.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end</h1>
Protecting fish resources and water resources to ensure that we can eat safe food, Egyptian pond mackerel is actually very "tragic" to enter the country, the early stage is not only eaten as an economic fish species, the later stage is transformed into a "scavenger" who cleans the garbage in the river.
