Anchovies, commonly known as "Coilia ectenes" and scientifically known as "Coilia ectenes", are valuable economic fish, so they are called anchovies because their tails are forked like phoenix's, short and red, slender and narrow, like anchovies. Anchovies are small migratory fish that usually live in the open sea. Every year in late spring and early summer, they flock into the river and lay eggs at the fresh water entrance of the middle and lower reaches. In addition, anchovies are also the common name of ornamental fish guppies, which are native to South America. All colorful ornamental "anchovies" generally refer to guppies (such as introductory atlas). Anchovies are distributed in Guyana, the East China Sea and the South China Sea of China.
