Mr. Fang of Hangzhou takes his children to interest classes near Xixi Wetland every week, and always goes to Xixi Wetland to walk around when he has some free time in the middle. Starting last week, he noticed something more red in the water of Xixi Creek.

Mr. Fang was talking about Fushou snail.
Today (May 16), Mr. Fang said that these small red nuggets that give people goosebumps have recently become more, "I have seen them in previous years, and this year it seems to look like more." ”
Why has Fushou snail begun to "stir" recently?
Experts from the Xixi Wetland Ecological Research Institute told reporters that at this time of year, with the increase in temperature and humidity, Fushou snails began to enter the peak growing season.
In addition, the shoreline of Xixi Wetland is relatively long, whether it is aquatic plants or various plants on the shore, it is also an open water, so citizens and tourists will always pay attention to this phenomenon.
Since its establishment, xixi wetland ecological research institute has done a lot of work on the prevention and control of fushou snails, and will also provide guidance to conservation units in business and technology. At present, the method mainly relies on manual grasping and fishing with nets.

Fushou snail, also known as large bottle snail and apple snail, is a large freshwater edible snail native to the Amazon River Basin in South America. Introduced to China in the 1980s, in 2003 the China Environmental Protection Administration (now the Ministry of Ecology and Environment) listed Fushou snail as one of the first 16 "most harmful alien species" to invade China.
A Fushou snail can lay eggs 20 to 40 times a year, with hundreds to thousands of eggs per spawn, and the amount of eggs can reach 30,000 to 50,000. Eggs can become snails in ten days, and the fertility is amazing. The most important thing is that the Fushou snails are very destructive, they are born by nibbling on aquatic plants, and excessive reproduction will also damage the ecological environment of the waters.
