Star point mud whale is the name of Cantonese people, I think it is good.
The star-spotted mud whale is very similar to the golden-point mud whale and can be distinguished by the yellow dot of the tail.
The Book of Diving Fish is called "Star Basket Fish", and individuals are not used to the names of northerners.
This fish actually had a special word for the ancients, called 鯭. It means strong, fierce.
Mud whale, in fact, is the common name of basket fish, there are about 30 species in the world.
In the waters around Shenzhen, I have seen only 3 varieties and look forward to discovering the fourth variety of mud whales.
Mud whales have a habit of moving in groups, living on the edge of underwater reefs, and once surrounded by the sea around Shenzhen, they were low-cost economic fish. However, now the mud whale has become rarer, and it is really more expensive than the grouper.
