So there are many people fishing around East Lake in Wuhan. However, I recently learned from some fishing friends in Wuhan that there are a large number of fierce carnivorous fish-American sea bass. ...
"... you can know from my catch how many sea bass are there now (East Lake). I will catch at least a dozen at a time, sometimes dozens. "
Fishing friends in Wuhan (@ 中中中中) said that there shouldn't be too many sea bass near the East Lake Greenway, and small sea bass have been caught frequently in the last two years, indicating that these invaders have begun to breed naturally in the wild. ...
(Note: American sea bass was introduced to China because of its tender meat, but it is an extremely fierce carnivorous fish, which poses a great threat to wild river shrimps and crabs. )
Judging from the experience of this local fisherman in Wuhan, there are quite a few sea bass in the East Lake, and it seems to have existed for a long time. What's going on here?
There are many sea bass in East Lake, which the fishermen in Wuhan may hear. Many fishermen think that the reason why the black bass invaded the East Lake in Wuhan is that "someone deliberately released it", and many of these releasers are fishermen.
What does this mean? Why do anglers release sea bass to East Lake?
In fact, as a fishing enthusiast, I also know something about this situation. It's complicated to say. To sum up, some fishermen (mainly Luya players) want to "introduce" the exotic carnivorous fish-perch, because there are few local carnivorous fish, so as to increase the pleasure of fishing.
Simply put, it is "release yourself and catch it when you grow up." ...
In fact, this practice has a long history, and with the popularity of Luya fishing, more and more fishermen are willing to buy black bass fry (high value) from their own pockets and join the ranks of "releasing black bass".
The five great lakes in the city, such as East Lake in Wuhan, have convenient transportation and are the key areas for releasing black bass, with many fishermen.
In addition to sea bass, some carnivorous fish such as sunfish, snakehead and red pomfret have also been released. )
Others, such as park landscape lakes, suburban reservoirs, and even residential ecological lakes, have all engaged in this kind of "black bass release."
In my opinion, strictly speaking, it is definitely impossible. Black bass is an extremely fierce carnivorous fish. If the quantity is large, it is not alarmist to eat up the local small and medium-sized fish and shrimp, and it will even affect the reproduction of large fish such as carp, grass carp and silver carp.
In the eyes of those who support the release of sea bass, sea bass is generally fertile, but it is actually difficult to flood. Secondly, they are very popular fresh fish with delicious meat and rich nutrition. If their numbers can be controlled to a certain extent, it seems that the introduction of sea bass can also enrich the fresh fish production of local rivers. ...
(The catch of this Wuhan fisherman said that "the meat is still fresh")
Among fishing enthusiasts, there is also a tit-for-tat debate: undoubtedly, many Luya players welcome this practice, but at the same time, many people oppose it, thinking that this practice is "destroying the ecology for one's own self-interest!"
In fact, the supporters' views can't be completely wrong, and it's really hard to draw a conclusion, but I think sea bass is a fierce carnivorous fish after all, like the large-scale release of East Lake in Wuhan, it shouldn't be!
Fishing friends, have you ever heard of this situation of releasing black bass? Have you ever participated? what do you think?
