Doo pomfret is expensive because it is a deep sea wild fish, due to doo pomfret out of the water is dead, the market is relatively rare. At the same time the pomfret is sensitive, once stimulated will die, scales are very easy to fall off, the chance of infection disease is also very high. And the pomfret's growth rate is very slow, two years only about half a catty.

The reason why pomfret is so expensive

The pomfret is a wild deep-sea fish, rare in the mainland, and therefore more expensive. Once salvaged from the water, it will die in less than a quarter of an hour. The pomfret is not a fish that can be raised in captivity on a large scale because of its harsh feeding conditions.

The pomfret is sensitive and can't be stimulated, especially by electric light and other stimulating light to the pomfret, and will die easily. At the same time, the pomfret's scales are small and fragile, and it is easy to die of infection after dropping the scales.

Secondly, pomfret grows slowly in the natural environment, basically need two years to grow half a catty or so, compared to the growth rate of golden pomfret, it is extremely slow, so golden pomfret is much cheaper than it.
