Australia is truly a magical country, and foodies are a blessing here. Here at every turn, all kinds of seafood, animals flooded, fruit infestation... Anyway, as long as the number is large, experts will appear and appeal: everyone come and eat!
The point is, not only is it free, but it's also unlimited!
Recently, another species in Australia has been flooded, which has attracted the attention of a large number of foodies. It is: the European blue crab.
European blue crabs are one of the "top ten least popular species" in the world, and this species is so destructive and competitive that many marine life cannot compete with them.
European blue crabs are also extremely aggressive, eating oysters, clams, shellfish, small fish, etc., and even eating the same kind (crabs).
And wherever they go, "no grass grows", they will also sweep away the local aquatic plants.
Not only can they "dominate" the entire sea, but they are more likely to disrupt the overall balance of marine ecosystems.
A few years ago, this crab was also flooded in Canada, when the Canadian government also spent a lot of money to rectify and capture millions of European blue crabs, and finally turned them into bait.
Today, the species is also proliferating in Victoria! The Australian government has taken steps to treat them as "poison".
The Victorian Fisheries Department issued a message: I hope that everyone will not use live European blue crabs as bait in any Victorian waters, let alone live European blue crabs.
Except for the intertidal zone in Port Phillop Bay, you can catch European blue crabs at will, unlimited, catch them at will, and if you catch them, you can't release them again!
Friends in Melbourne, you can go to Gippsland, Port Phillip Bay and Apollo Bay to catch, it is said that green crabs are more frequent in these places.
European blue crab mainly has the following characteristics:
There are five protrusions on either side of the eye
The last crab legs are not only sharp but also flat
The back is smooth, bluish green or brown, and the abdomen is orange
It is about 7cm in length
In addition, this kind of thing about "species flooding" must of course be solved by foodies!
What does it taste like? Is it toxic? A: It tastes good, has a variety of recipes, and is non-toxic.
Experts have also come forward to confirm this: everyone can eat boldly!
In addition to the European blue crab, there have been many species in Australia over the years!
/ Sea Urchins /
Last year, a sea urchin called "Centro" flooded the east coast of Australia, and it was impossible to catch or eat it, and the Australian government welcomed everyone to open their stomachs and eat it!
Not only have they severely damaged the local ecosystem, they can't even dive, and at a glance, the sea is full of sea urchins.
This black sea urchin is extremely lethal and has great vitality. The main food is seaweed, if the seaweed is eaten, there is no other food to eat, they will start to eat the rocks on the bottom of the sea, and they are really not picky. What's even more frightening is that even if they don't eat other rocks, they can live for 10 years.
/ Kangaroo /
The reproductive ability of kangaroos is simply jaw-dropping fast, the current number of Australian kangaroos is as high as 5000 - 6000W, and the Australian population is only about 2500W, which is a country with more kangaroos than people, and if it is not controlled, kangaroos will occupy and control Australia! (Details: Australia may want to ask Chinese to help eat kangaroos...) ）
/ Wildcats /
According to news reports, Australian wildcats have occupied 80% of Australia's islands, including south Australia's well-known kangaroo island. With no natural predators on the island and no other animals competing with them, they began to kill other small animals on a large scale, and even spread disease to other animals.
Their scope of activity has now covered 99.8% of Australia's land, and the number is constantly increasing, and the Australian government finally can't stand it and kills! It also said it plans to wipe out two million feral cats within the next five years. Although Australians like to pet cats, but more is also a headache ah...
/ Hare /
Australia's early hare disaster is also known to everyone, when the British brought hares to Australia, they in a short period of time through breeding, not only ate out of Australia's grassland, but also made the ecology destroyed, the scene is uncontrollable.
The government has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with this matter. Oh, if this is in China, you can eat 500 million rabbits every year, don't worry at all!
/ Qingkou /
There are always a few beaches in Australia that are often occupied by large areas of Green Pass, everywhere, and even block the road, let alone swim. It is not an exaggeration to say that even if a large handful is grabbed like this, the local residents are still too lazy to pick it up, and it is estimated that they are tired of eating? If only it were in China...
/ Crayfish /
The most authentic Australian crayfish are produced in rivers in regions such as North Queensland, Australia, and the Cooper River is one of them. Since the Cooper River is a seasonal inland river, in the dry season, you can always see dense crayfish on the bare rocks, which not only destroys the ecology, but also likes to run around.
The local people's practice for them is to clean them up with tools such as latte shovels, and hey, they basically eat them every year, and they really can't eat them.
/ Perch /
Previously, there have been media reports that "the Australian salmon flood is not eaten, directly at a low price as bait treatment...", at that time, it also caused a variety of foodies real pain, have said that Australians do not know the goods, really can waste things.
In fact, the so-called "Australian salmon" is actually a common name for several fish under the genus Arripis of the order Perch, to put it bluntly, there are large sea bass on the beach, and salmon have nothing to do with salmon.
/ Carp /
The Australian government once used $1500W to clean up the exotic carp species in the river, and the huge amount of money was also because there were too many carps, and encouraging people to fish could not solve the practical problem.
The government's intention to put a virus specifically targeting carp in the river to eliminate them is also tiring.
In summary, Australia has spent a lot of money on dealing with invasive species, and the governance effect is slow, usually taking several years to take effect.
Wouldn't it be better to ask more foodies for so much money to eliminate them, efficient and environmentally friendly, and it is estimated that they can be eaten into endangered species in minutes...
