In our opinion, the faces of fish are all the same, but in fact, they are very different, and they can know their own kind
There are many faces, but we can easily tell who is who, even the slightest difference can be seen, but what about fish? We're new to fish, and although you eat it a lot, you don't know its name either.
It is estimated that there are about 32,500 species of fish in the world, of which more than 15,000 are freshwater fish, and China has 3,446 species of fish, of which 1,452 are freshwater fish.
With so many species of fish, it's so hard to tell what kind of fish they are! We don't have that much energy and we don't have the time to discern.
In saying that we don't know about fish, fish and us are both distant and in front of our eyes!
Although I eat it often, I don't know that the farthest distance in the world is that I often eat you, but I don't know your name.
For us anglers, the names of many fish are not clear, after all, the region is different, the shape and living environment of the fish are different.
For example, can you distinguish the three kinds of fish grown in the south of China, namely mud carp, wheat carp and Thai carp?
Who am I? What is my name? Do you know?
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > similarities between "pgc-h-center-line", "soil carp, wheat carp, and Thai carp"? </h1>
There are many similarities between mud carp, wheat carp and Thai carp, resulting in many anglers often distinguishing errors, mainly 5 points
1) It also belongs to the carp family
Soil carp, wheat carp, Thai carp, they belong to the order Cyprinid, cyprinid, wild carp subfamily, mud carp genus.
There are more than 3700 species of cyprinids in 210 genera and the world.
Whether it is demersal fish, upper fish, or omnivorous fish, herbivorous fish, carnivorous fish many are carps.
Turf, wheat carp, and Thai carp are no exception, and it can also be said that they are distant relatives.
2) The same way of foraging
The mouths of the carp are all downwards and are able to scrape the aquatic weeds attached to the rocks under the water.
Mud carp licks green algae, diatoms, filamentous algae, etc. from objects such as rocks underwater, and also feeds on organic matter in silt.
Adult mud carp feed mainly on plants and also forage for detritus and underwater humus from higher plants.
Their growing environments coincide
3) The water temperature suitable for growth is the same
Mud carp are tropical and subtropical fish, which are not tolerant to low temperatures and freeze to death when temperatures are low.
According to the data, the critical water temperature of mud carp is 7 °, and below 7 °, they cannot adapt.
(The water temperature is only approximate, not absolute, after all, the strength of low temperature resistance depends on its own immunity, but the data shows that the water temperature below 7 ° will cause death.) ）
Mud carp prefer high temperatures, and will take shelter in deep water when the temperature is low, and when the temperature is too high, it will also avoid the heat in the shade or deep water.
4) The distribution range is the same
Mud carp is mainly distributed in the Pearl River system, Hainan Island, Liangguang, Taiwan, Minjiang, Lancang and Yuanjiang rivers.
The temperature in these places is relatively high, and there is no low water temperature in winter.
That is to say, their growth range is overlapping, causing many anglers to be unable to distinguish their appearance after catching.
5) The spawning time is basically the same
Soil carp, wheat carp, Thai carp are all tropical and subtropical fish, and the water temperature requirements are relatively high when spawning.
Spawning at a water temperature of 24-32 ° generally occurs in April-September.
Night falls, the anglers by the river
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > two, what is the difference between the earth carp, wheat carp, and thai carp? </h1>
Regardless of their origin, there are 4 points of great difference between the earth carp, the wheat carp, and the Thai carp, regardless of their origin, or the individual.
1) The source is different
The origins of the earth carp, wheat carp and Thai carp vary greatly, with the former being an endemic species and the latter two being introduced species.
(1), soil carp: soil carp is China's native fish, according to regional differences, soil carp is also called, snow carp, carp gong, flower carp and so on. It is a genus of carps, carps, subfamily, and carp.
(2), wheat carp: wheat carp's real name is wheat carp, is also a carp, carp, introduced to China in 1982 from India, is an exotic fish species.
(3) Thai carp: The real name of the Thai carp is Lusta Wild Carp, which was introduced to China from Thailand in 1978, so it is called Thai Carp.
But it is not a fish in Thailand, it is a fish introduced from Thailand, and our country has introduced it from Thailand, so it is called Thai carp.
It is widely distributed in the freshwater basins of South Asia, and the Lusta region of India is more abundant, hence the name. It is also called The South Asian Wild Carp or the Indian Wild Carp.
Native mud carp - earth carp
2) The form is different
Their form is very different in appearance, and old anglers can see it at a glance, mainly the appearance.
(1) Soil carp: slender body, round abdomen, short head, blunt mouth, mouth facing down, mouth for "heaven and earth" structure, curved.
The body is flattened on both sides, the back is slightly raised in front of the dorsal fin, the abdomen is rounded and slightly straight, and the juvenile tail scales have a black base
The soil carp has several pieces of blue fish scales behind the gill cover, which is the biggest difference between it and the wheat carp and the Thai carp.
(2) Wheat carp: the back is usually dark gray, the abdomen is silver, the dorsal fin is gray, and the tip of the thorax, abdomen and fin is orange.
There is a pair of small whiskers at the corner of the mouth of the wheat carp, in addition to the relatively small mouth of the wheat carp, it is also a "heavenly" structure, and the fins have a color, and the other places are not much different from the grass carp.
(3) Tai carp: The proper name of the Thai carp is Lusta wild carp, which resembles a carp, the mouth of the fish is smaller than the carp, the eyes are small, and the mouth of the fish is "heaven and earth" structure.
The fish body is bluish green , the back is darker in color , has a blue metallic luster , and the abdomen is off-white. The scales are somewhat red, the fins are slightly red, and the scales are medium in size.
3) The size is different
The size of the earth carp, wheat carp, and Thai carp varies greatly, how big is it? Some can grow tens of kilograms, and some have only a few pounds.
(1) Soil carp: The individual of the soil carp is very small, and it is difficult to appear a huge individual.
Especially in the wild environment, the growth is slower, the data shows: 1 year old fish weigh about 2 two, 2 year fish weigh about 3 two, 3 year old fish weigh about 7 two, 4 year old fish weigh about 1 pound.
It is not easy for the carp to grow up in the wild environment, and it is rare to catch large individual carp in bald fishing!
I don't know how big the largest fish caught by the anglers is, if you have a message, let the bald head open your eyes, thank you.
(2) Wheat carp: The growth rate of wheat carp is much faster than that of soil carp, and the raw fish fry may grow to more than 6 taels that year.
Large individuals also appear in wheat carp, and according to records, the largest wheat carp is more than 8 kilograms.
When fishing, you can often encounter more than 1 kilogram of wheat carp, and occasionally encounter several pounds of wheat carp.
(3) Thai carp: Thai carp is huge, can grow to 2 meters long, and the maximum weight can reach 45 kg.
Some anglers said that in the case of breeding, the raw Thai carp can reach 6-8 pounds and grow very quickly.
Wild fishing often encounters large individual Thai carp, several pounds or even several kilograms of Thai carp is more common, occasionally encounter more than 10 pounds of Thai carp.
It's time for The Thai carp to lose weight
4) The taste is different
The taste of mud carp, wheat carp and Thai carp is very different, and the meat quality is not comparable, some are very delicious, and some of the meat is very chai.
(1) Soil carp: The meat of the earth carp is very delicate and is deeply loved by the majority of anglers.
Whether it is steamed or braised, it is a good choice, the only thing that is lacking is that the individual of the mud carp is relatively small.
(2) Wheat carp: The flesh quality of wheat carp is inferior to that of soil carp compared to soil carp.
The flesh of the wheat carp is a bit woody, and many anglers are reluctant to eat the wheat carp, so they are put back into the water after catching it.
(3) Thai carp: The flesh quality of thai carp and wheat carp are almost the same, and the meat quality is not as good as that of the soil carp.
Some anglers say that the flesh of the Thai carp is like chewing wood, especially the large individual Thai carp.
In fact, fast-growing fish, their taste is average.
Some anglers say that Thai carp is used for fish balls or cans, and this bald head is not very clear.
Obviously different
Although the individual mouth of the earth carp is small, but its flesh quality is the best, there is a saying called: "concentrated is the essence", this sentence is used in the soil carp, which is also the truth. The mud carp is very hurt, I am such a delicious fish, by the Thai carp, wheat carp "pit", mention the mud carp said not delicious, do not know that you do not know the soil carp is just.
Synthesis: Through this understanding, I believe that everyone has a deep understanding of the soil carp, wheat carp, and Thai carp, and there are too many differences between them, even from the physical point of view, they are also very different.
Although they all belong to the genus Carp, the difference in shape is the mud carp, wheat carp, Thai carp, the biggest difference, do not mess them up.
What kind of mud carp is this?
This is the bald head of the earth carp, wheat carp, Thai carp understanding, not necessarily correct, the bald head is only in Guangzhou for a few years, not right brothers more point out, the bald head one by one correction, hope to inspire you, everyone feels useful words can be collected, like, forward more attention to the headline number "Skinhead Commander" Thank you.
