1, different shapes
Military fish are distributed in the waters south of the Yangtze River in China. The scientific name is Spinibarbus glabra, also known as green rod fish and yellow croaker fish. The military fish has a cylindrical body and a blunt kiss. The biggest difference with grass carp is that grass carp has no whiskers, while military fish has two pairs of whiskers.
Grass carp, mainly distributed in plain areas, is an important aquaculture target and one of the four major fish in China. Grass carp is a genus of Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae and yarrow subfamily, also known as pomfret, grass roots and thick fish. Grass carp has a bluish yellow body, a wide flat head and no beard.
2. Different living habits
Military fish generally inhabit underwater waters, have a lively temper, like to live in groups in rocky places in underwater waters, have high requirements on water quality and are difficult to breed. Army fish is an omnivorous fish. Its main food is aquatic plants, such as algae and freshwater mussels, and it also eats some aquatic insects and its larvae.
Grass carp generally inhabits the middle and lower reaches of the water and the aquatic plants near the shore, and is lively in nature and likes to feed in groups. Grass carp generally feed on aquatic insects and algae, and also eat some carnivorous foods such as earthworms and dragonflies. Moreover, grass carp is widely cultivated in China's fish farming industry because of its simple feeding habits, low requirements for bait, fast growth and high yield, and it is also an important stocking object in ponds and reservoirs.
3. Different fishing methods
Swordfish's fishing position is generally chosen in places with fast water flow, such as the gate of a reservoir and near the vortex of water flow. And swordfish's endurance is also poor. Although the explosive force was relatively strong at the first time, as long as the fisherman can control it in the early stage, the swordfish will have no strength after a few minutes. At this time, swordfish can sneak to the shore. Because swordfish is slippery, it is best to copy it with a net bag.
The fishing position of grass carp is about 2 meters near the water surface with aquatic plants. Grass carp knows from its name that it is a herbivorous fish, and usually likes to live near aquatic plants, where fishermen can better catch grass carp.
