There are fewer and fewer Odontobutis in rural areas now. I remember when I was a child, there were many such fish in the river. At that time, several rural friends often went fishing and catching fish in the river together. But you can't catch big fish every time you go, so when you don't catch big fish, you will use earthworms to catch these toad fish, which are very easy to bite. Putting earthworms next to Odontobutis sinensis can attract a group of Odontobutis sinensis at once, and then it is easy to be caught.
Pitaya generally likes to stay under the sand or stones in the river. They look lazy and inactive. They always lie under rocks or sand. They are not so afraid of us humans. They stop running when they see us in the water. So it's not difficult to catch. In recent years, Odontobutis sinensis has become more and more popular, because there are fewer and fewer fish, but the price of Odontobutis sinensis is quite high. Now the market price is about several hundred yuan a catty.
In the past, the water quality in rural areas was not polluted too much because of the high requirements for water quality. Nowadays, the water pollution in rural areas is more serious than before, resulting in fewer and fewer Odontobutis. As the saying goes, Odontobutis sinensis is delicious, nutritious and precious because of its prickly meat, which has become a delicacy on the table. I also like eating Odontobutis sinensis very much, so I can fry it. Unfortunately, there are very few Odontobutis in the river now, which is hard to eat, so the imbalance between supply and demand leads to the price increase. At present, artificial breeding of Odontobutis sinensis has been started in the market, and the economic benefits are still good.
