English name: Catfish Effect

Catfish effect is to take a means or measures to stimulate some enterprises to be active in the market and actively participate in the competition, so as to activate the market in the same industry enterprises. In essence, it is a kind of negative incentives, is the activation of the mystery of the workforce.

Catfish, a kind of active fish, there is nothing very special. However, since a fisherman used it as a tool to ensure the survival of long-distance transportation sardines, the role of catfish has been increasingly important. Sardines, by nature, like to be quiet and seek smoothness. They are not aware of the dangers they face, and are content to live their lives as they are. The fisherman, who wisely uses the catfish's role of being mobile to keep the sardines alive, also gains the most benefit in the process.

Catfish effect from the origin

Norwegians love sardines, especially live ones. The price of live sardines on the market is much higher than that of dead fish. That's why the fishermen always try to get the sardines back to the harbor alive. However, despite all the efforts, most of the sardines die in the middle of the journey due to asphyxiation. But there was one fishing boat that always managed to bring most of the sardines back to the harbor alive. The captain of the boat kept it a secret. It was not until the captain died that the mystery was revealed. It turned out that the captain had put a catfish, whose main food was fish, into the fish trough filled with sardines. When the catfish entered the tank, it swam around because of the unfamiliar environment. The sardines were very nervous at the sight of the catfish, dodging left and right and swimming faster. In this way, a sardine returned to the fishing harbor with joy. It turned out that the catfish entered the fish tank, making the sardines feel threatened and tense up, speeding up their swimming, so the sardines arrived at the harbor alive. This is the famous "catfish effect".

This is true for people, but also for animals. The catfish effect is similar to Li Guang's shooting at a stone, and is an example of how people's potential can be realized under pressure.

Many people know the example of the prairie wolf. In Australia, wolves infested a certain pasture, often devouring the sheep of the herdsmen. The herders then turned to the government and the military to drive the wolves to extinction. With the wolves gone and the number of sheep greatly increased, the herdsmen were very happy, believing that the desired vision had been realized. However, a few years later, they realized that the reproduction ability of the sheep had been greatly reduced, the number of sheep had plummeted and they were weak and sickly, and the quality of their wool was not as good as before. The herdsmen then realized that the loss of natural enemies had degraded the survival and reproduction genes of the sheep. So the herders asked the government to bring in wolves again, and the wolves returned to the grasslands, and the number of sheep began to increase again.
