It has not been updated for a long time, and the editor himself has some doubts, is it because he is lazy or poor in donkey skills? Maybe there are both possibilities, but... Mainly because of laziness.
Back to the point, some of the aquatic animals introduced by Xiaobian in the Dalian area of Liaoning Province before this are all sea-produced and do not involve fresh water. Today, take a closer look at some of the common freshwater fish in the region and see what are common.

The four major fish are: green, grass, silver carp, and bighead carp.
Seeing this, some people may have doubts: carp and crucian carp have so much fame and such a wide distribution that they do not belong to the "four big fish"? Right! Just so "cruel", the cat is so cute, is not it not ranked in the zodiac?
