What's more, some "gourmets" in Guangdong think of Marilyn Monroe in the United States when they see bright red fish. It is said that the most beautiful part of Marilyn is her slightly upturned red lips, which is a metaphor of a fish, indicating that this fish is famous. This kind of fish is produced in the plain water system of China, among which Xingkai Lake and Dongjiang Lake are the most famous.
Brief introduction of pouting
The scientific name of Erythroculter ilishaeformis is Erythroculter ilishaeformis, which is a wide-temperature fish. The survival water temperature is 0-38℃, the feeding water temperature is 3-36℃, and the optimum water temperature is 15-32℃. It grows rapidly and is a fierce carnivorous fish, which lives on live fish. Plankton and aquatic insects are the staple foods at seedling stage. It mainly eats more than 50g of fish and shrimp, and also swallows a small amount of seedlings.
Domestic fishermen often catch this species in large lakes or reservoirs, and often use tender corn kernels as bait for raft fishing or road trips in open waters. Qiaozui lives in the middle and lower reaches and upper reaches of open water bodies such as rivers and lakes. It is quick and agile, good at jumping, impatient, easily frightened, fierce and carnivorous, and adult fish prey on other small fish and crustaceans.
Young fish feed on zooplankton, shrimp and aquatic insects. You can "fly" over the barrier 1 meters high when pulling the net. Adult fish caught in the wild are difficult to survive, and most of them are transported and sold in the state of chilled fish. After the wild adult fish is domesticated and cultivated into mature parent fish, the wildness of the first generation of artificially propagated plateau fry is greatly reduced, and the adult fish can completely enter the aquarium of the hotel as live fish.
Male and female fish feed all the year round (including severe winter season), and there is little individual difference. Female fish also eat as usual during the breeding season, and their growth rate will not be slowed down because of breeding.
