Breeding and fishing difficulty
Tigerfish breeding is very difficult, the survival rate is extremely low, and requires extremely specialized technology and perfect equipment. Since this fish has extremely high requirements for water quality and bait, it is easy to cause massive losses if it is operated by rookie farmers. As a result, many tigerheads are bred in captivity for a long time, close to the species in the wild state, and are therefore more costly.
Besides captive breeding, wild tigerheads are also difficult to catch. Because in the wild, these fish live in clear and deep rivers and lakes, not only are they tall and powerful, but they also move very cunningly and are not very easy to catch.
High Nutritional Value
The protein content of tigerfish is higher than that of ordinary fish, and it is also rich in collagen. Collagen is known as the "skin tissue engineer", which can keep the human body in a smooth, soft and firm state. Therefore, tigerfish not only has a delicious taste, but is also beneficial to the body's maintenance effects, which is one of the reasons why it is considered to be a high-class fish.
Place of Origin Affects Price
In a market economy, the place of production and marketing is a factor that affects price. Tigerheads are mainly distributed in regions such as southern China, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa. If the geographical environment, climate and other conditions of these places of origin are more suitable for the survival and reproduction of tigerfish, then their output is relatively large and the price is relatively low. On the contrary, if the geographical environment of the place of origin is very harsh or the growth cycle of the tigerfish species is long, the output will be very small and the price will be increased accordingly.
Summary
Consolidating the above, the reasons for the high price of tigerfish mainly include the difficulty in breeding and fishing, high nutritional value, place of origin, and many other factors. As consumers, we should not only pay attention to the price and quality when buying tigerfish, but also pay attention to its origin and production process to ensure that the tigerfish we eat is safe, harmless, healthy and reliable.
