Commonly known as white striped fish, diaozi fish, etc., it is a freshwater wild fish that is most familiar to fishing enthusiasts.
However, in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, when several anglers were fishing in a small sand pit in the local area, they encountered many rather peculiar "spotted meals", and the number was extremely large....
<h1>The riverside bunker is flooded with "little fish boys"</h1>
"Looks a bit like a bar fish, but there are a lot of spots, today we fished for most of the day, except for a few crucian carp, are this small fish, it is estimated that several people can catch hundreds of fish a day....."
Anglers in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, said they and their friends were fishing in a bunker by the local river when they encountered a group of "spotted bar fish" that were very gluttonous but were not easy to fish because their mouths were too small.
Is this "small fishlet" that looks like a bar fish, but is covered with many spots, a "meal fish"? Why are there so many?
<h1>This fish used to be very common</h1>
Originally, the scientific name of the "small fish boy" flooded in this bunker was silver catfish, which was a species of carp and snake catfish, commonly known as boat nails (it is said that it is named after the nails on ancient fishing boats), nail fish, stick flower fish, hemp rod meals and so on.
Compared with the common carp, the boat nail is much smaller, generally only more than ten centimeters, but the boat nail has few fine spines and tender flesh, so the edible value is extremely high.
Boat nails reproduce rapidly, and every spring and summer they will swim to the shallow water areas of the river to play and lay eggs - like the above Xuzhou netizens encountered so many boat nails in the bunker, which should be the reason.
(Boat nails like to inhabit the bottom of rivers with clear water and sand and gravel structures))
If you are an experienced fishing enthusiast and familiar with the feeding habits of boat nails, it is not unusual to catch hundreds of them at a time.....
And because of the characteristics of "like clusters", in the spring and summer of the last century, in the major tributaries of the Yangtze River Basin and inland rivers, these small fish are almost everywhere, and it is not too much to say that they are flooded, and they can be regarded as one of the most common fish in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River...
I believe that Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai and other big friends in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have had a record of fishing boat nails and fishing nails when they were young.
The simple home-cooked practice of flour fried boat nails has an intoxicating crisp and tender aroma, and may also be the "food memory" that many people linger in their childhood...
<h1>Now tens of dollars a pound?</h1>
“...... Asked, many people said that this fish is now very expensive, selling dozens of pounds....."
This Xuzhou angler was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this ordinary-looking small fish was so "golden"--is the economic value of the nails really so high?
According to Yangtze River Jun,This should be a fact, because the meat quality is delicious and the output has declined, and the price of boat nails in the fish market in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai is nearly 100 yuan per kilogram, which translates to a pound and indeed has dozens of yuan.
However, in today's total ban on fishing in the Yangtze River Basin, although fishing with compliant fishing gear is allowed, the purchase and sale of fish may violate the prohibition of fishing and fishery protection regulations.
Therefore, The Yangtze River Jun also wants to remind the majority of fishing enthusiasts, no matter what kind of river fish and river fish they catch, the value is geometric, it is okay to take the "early taste" they need, but do not try to buy and sell transactions...
Netizens, in your local rivers and lakes, are there such "little fish boys" covered with flowers?
