Introduction: Resembling a loach, with a "knife" on its back, it was once disliked by anglers, and now it is difficult to buy 100 yuan and 1 pound
Wen/Farmer is also crazy
At the end of the year in the countryside, the market will become more lively than before, especially as it gets to the end of the year. At this time, when you go to the rural market, you will see a lot of novel "local goods" that you have not seen before.
It is also for these reasons that many urban people will also come to the countryside to "look for treasure" at this time.
Yesterday, I also went around the market and saw a lot of good things. There is a fish that I have not seen for more than ten years, but yesterday I saw someone selling it. However, its price is not cheap, the small fish that was disliked in the past is now sold to 100 yuan a catty, and the boss also said that if you want to buy it, it will be gone, and this is something that money may not be able to buy.
This fish is a steel loach that looks like a loach, but has a "hidden weapon" hidden on its back, do you remember?
The science of steel loach
Freshwater fish in the southern rivers are abundant, but many fish are now rare. Like the salmon, fighting fish, and big belly fish are not as much as before. And there is another kind of fish that has been forgotten for many years, it is a steel loach with a "knife" on its back.
Steel loach, also known as knife loach, spiny loach, scientific name is Chinese spiny loach, it is a loach family fish, but also the only species in China's loach genus. This is a small fish that only exists in China, looks very much like loach, and the small steel loach is often mistaken for loach.
But the loach is larger and has a sharper mouth. And it is worth mentioning that this fish has a "hidden weapon". Because the dorsal fin on its back is very sharp, it is very dangerous to catch it, and if you are not careful, you will be scratched.
In the past, many anglers disliked it because this fish was very greedy, and luck would catch more than a dozen at a time. And this fish is very dangerous, after catching it, it will swallow the hook into the stomach, it is very dangerous to take out the hook, generally with the foot, and then after a operation, the fish is also tortured to the point of not being a fish. So at that time, many anglers tabooed it, and no one ate it. It's often thrown away, or taken home to feed to the cats and dogs.
The value of steel loach
Why is it that the steel loach that no one ate in the past is now worth a lot, and it actually sells for 100 yuan a catty, and it is still difficult to buy? This is mainly due to two reasons:
The first is that there are very few steel loach. There used to be a lot of steel loach in the river, and if you encounter the old nest of steel loach, you can catch more than a dozen in a moment, which is not difficult at all. However, it is difficult to see the trace of this fish in the river now, and the steel loach in many places has been extinct. As for the specific reasons, the author does not say, it is estimated that the big guys can also guess eight or nine inseparable from ten.
The second reason is that steel loach is very nutritious and has a high edible value. In the past, people did not eat steel loach because there were too many fish at that time, and all kinds of small fish were disliked, generally eating big fish, so the value of steel loach was ignored.
But now I have found that steel loach is not only less, but also very nutritious. This fish is rich in nutrients, including 18 kinds of amino acids, 17 kinds of fatty acids needed by the human body, as well as 9 kinds of minerals and a variety of trace elements, often eating is not only good for the body, but also has the effect of replenishing deficiency, nourishing the face, strengthening the body and so on.
Prospects for the culture of steel loach
Although the price of steel loach is high, not many people are farmed. At present, few people breed steel loach, which is why its price is high. In fact, it is mainly because the cost of steel loach farming is also high, the investment is also large, and the technical difficulty is also high, and many people dare not try.
It is said that the investment in breeding steel loach is more than 40,000 per mu, and the yield per mu is about 3,000 catties. If calculated at the purchase price of 60 yuan / catty, then the output value of mu can reach about 180,000 yuan, so the prospect of breeding is still good.
