Now that it is winter, most of the fish in the rivers are hiding in deep waters, and it is not easy to fish.
However, in this cold and freezing environment, some anglers common crucian carp, carp and other conventional fish species can not catch, but catch some rare "strange fish" that are difficult to see on weekdays....
For example, the following Guangzhou fishing friend...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > catch a "snake" in the Pearl River in the middle of the night? </h1>
When Master Luo, a fishing enthusiast in Guangzhou, was quite "frightened" when he fished in the Pearl River at night - after a black drift in the middle of the night, he was excited to lift the rod, and even dragged out a "big snake with white flowers" directly from the water, which made him frightened...
This "great white snake" kept jumping after landing, the snow white belly, the slippery shape did look quite scary, and this angler did not dare to come forward for a while...
In this big winter, can you still catch snakes from the river?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > turned out to be a rare "white eel"</h1>
It is not unusual to catch snakes in fishing, but most snakes hibernate in winter with low temperatures (the temperature in Guangzhou is sometimes below 5 ° at night), and it is basically impossible to appear in the water.
In fact, the "big snake" caught by this angler is actually a rare aquarium "white eel" in the Pearl River.
The so-called "white eel" is the usual name of Guangdong, in fact, the scientific name of the white eel is "river eel", which is not a category with the familiar yellow eel, but a brackish water amphibian "eel fish".
(The contrast between river eels and yellow eels is essentially two kinds of fish, and the body color and body shape characteristics are quite different - the most obvious is that river eels have fins, but yellow eels do not)
River eel is a unique fish species that spawns in the sea and inhabits the inland of the river, it is generally a white belly and blue back, slender and rounded, meandering and swimming in the water, looking quite a bit of a dragon snake.
Therefore, river eels have also been known as "dragons in the river" since ancient times, and fishermen often catch them in the offshore sections of the Yangtze and Pearl River basins.
However, in modern times, because of the barrier of the sluice of the river estuary, the river eel is becoming more and more rare, and this angler can be said to be a very small probability event in the Pearl River...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > may actually be farmed? </h1>
Although the shape of the river eel is very similar to the snake, it has been a very popular "ingredient" in Guangdong since ancient times, and the farmed river eel is tens of yuan a pound.
And like this wild river eel in the Pearl River, the general value is as high as two or three hundred yuan a catty, no wonder this old man himself also jokingly called "Xi Ti 500".....
(Although a river eel and a crucian carp were fished overnight, many netizens believe that such a river eel may be worth hundreds of crucian carp..... ）
However, in the eyes of The Yangtze River Jun, pure wild river eels are now very rare in the Pearl River.
And The Guangdong river eel breeding industry is very developed, coupled with the popularity of release, this brother in the Pearl River fished up the "white eel", the probability is also a "breeding species" that was released or escaped....
