Striped fish is a relatively common and often eaten fish, with a slender body like a snake, usually under one meter, weighing less than 500 grams, there are many such fish in the ocean, the taste is also very delicious, so it is a common seafood ingredient!
In early November, Li Mou, a fisherman in Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province, recently caught a strange "Jumbo" fish nearly 3 meters long and about 40 centimeters wide at its widest point. After being appraised by the relevant experts of the Provincial Marine fisheries research institute entrusted by the Xiangshan County Water Conservancy and Fisheries Bureau, it is believed to be a Le's royal fish, and the Zhejiang area also calls this fish the White Dragon King, the Dragon King Fish, the Paddle Fish, the Buy Cow, the Pig Essence, the Hundred Cattle, the Earthquake Fish, etc.
This "king with fish" is shiny all over the body, the dorsal fin is red, and although the other fish caught in the net are very similar in body shape, but the size difference is very large, when he caught this big guy is also frightened, saying that he has been fishing for more than 20 years, never seen this dragon king fish, this is the first time to see such a large giant belt fish.
However, the Les Royal Belt fish is not actually a belt fish. In the zoological classification it belongs to one of the kingfish, and the kingfish belongs to the suborder ⇒ cartilaginous squamous subclass of the rayfin fish order⇒ the order of the monarch fish⇒⇒ the royal striped fish family⇒ the royal belt fish is ⇒ the royal belt fish species, and the striped fish belongs to the teleost fish ⇒ the spokefin suborder ⇒ the suborder ⇒ the suborder ⇒ the striped fish family ⇒ striped fish, one is a cartilaginous fish, the other is a teleost fish, which are already different from the order, so the two are not a type of fish.
King's belt fish belongs to a kind of deep-sea fish, the largest size of the herring king striped fish, adult average length of 4 ~ 6 meters, weighing 150 ~ 200 kg, more than the ordinary striped fish, such a herring royal strip fish is equivalent to hundreds of ordinary striped fish; followed by Le's royal stripe fish, the average body length of 3-6 meters, weight up to 100 ~ 180 kg, it can be seen that Xiangshan County fishermen Li Mou caught the Le's royal strip fish is not the largest. The smallest Ru's kingfish can also reach an average length of more than 3 meters and weigh more than 100 kilograms!
However, the longest fish in the ocean is not a royal band fish, but a whale shark, an adult whale shark body length of up to 9 to 12 meters, the longest can be 20 meters long, weighing 6 to 9 tons, the largest is 12.5 tons, regardless of body length and weight are far more than the royal band fish.
Marine biologists have found that the king band fish has a habit of cannibalism, because the king band fish live in the deep sea with less food, and the hungry king band fish sometimes even want to catch and eat their own kind.
King's belt fish are mostly distributed in the global sea, usually living in 200 to 1000 meters deep seawater, only when mating or encountering some special circumstances will float up to the surface of the sea near the activity, mostly wandering in the coral reef, this time there will be a large group of king band fish entangled together, but only one of the female royal band fish, the other are male royal belt fish, a group of male royal band fish entangled female king band fish is to wait for it to spawn, once the female royal band fish spawn, once you see the female king band fish spawning, These male royal striped fish will quickly excrete sperm, and the male royal striped fish will leave after sperm discharge, but there will be another group of male royal striped fish that have not been spermatozo to continue to entangle with the female royal striped fish, waiting for it to spawn and then follow the sperm, in the female royal stripe fish during the two weeks of ovulation time, there will be different batches of male royal striped fish and it entangled and waiting for sperm discharge, its mating time is usually in November every year, so this time Xiangshan fishermen can catch the royal band fish or related to their mating and breeding behavior.
Yellow-banded fish is called earthquake fish, most fishermen living by the sea think that it can predict earthquakes, whenever they catch or see this fish, they think that earthquakes or tsunamis may occur, which may be some geological activity before the earthquake caused some kind of gas or other substances from the formation in the deep sea to increase, or the slight vibration of the formation is felt by the royal band fish in the seawater, so they choose to escape near the sea level, so it is easy to be caught by fishermen, or stranded on the beach and found. However, some experts believe that the presence of royal fish in shallow waters has little to do with earthquakes.
