Rice fish, also known as rice fish, is a fish similar in shape to perch. Unlike perch, its body color is dark and grayish brown. At the same time, the upper edge of the dorsal fin spine appears black, and there will be a vertical black stripe in the center of the fin. Rice fish is flat, and its back and abdomen are curved. Generally speaking, rice fish are mainly distributed in Zhoushan Ocean in the East China Sea. However, because it likes to inhabit the bottom waters with high turbidity and warm temperature, it is also distributed in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in China. It is mainly distributed on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean in the world, but also in China, North Korea and southern Japan.
Compared with other fish, especially yellow croaker in the same area, rice fish has great advantages, one of which is its size. Generally speaking, the body length of rice fish can grow to about 80 cm, and the weight can be about 10 kg. However, there was a news report that fishermen in Taiwan Province caught rice fish weighing 45.5 kilograms, that is, 9 1 kg, in September of 20 13. Imagine, it is estimated that it is not only bigger than yellow croaker, but even other big fish are afraid of growing to this weight.
Secondly, rice fish has a big advantage, that is, it belongs to a small regional migratory fish, which lays eggs in a specific season, and its growth cycle is faster than that of yellow croaker. As far as the number of eggs laid is concerned, the number of eggs conceived by rice fish ranges from 200,000 to 2 million. After spawning, they swim back to the facility area and feed on small fish and shrimp. The whole growth process, as if spawning migration is an episode, does not affect its normal life at all. This also leads to that if you fish in a sea area where rice and fish gather, you will certainly get something.
Then the question comes, why can rice fish be sold so expensive? In fact, there are two main reasons. First of all, the first one is that rice fish can grow very big and fast. It is the raw material of many ingredients, and it is also a famous local product, which has great market value. Besides, that's the nutritional value contained in it! It is said that the bigger the rice fish is, the more valuable it is if it is male.
The body of rice fish is a treasure, and the swim bladder can be used not only to make gelatin, but also to nourish blood and tonify kidney. Fish scales can also be used to make scale glue, and viscera and bones can be used to make fish meal and fish oil. The whole fish can be canned, and each part has its own purpose. In this way, under the combined effect of various factors, natural rice fish is very valuable, and the bigger it grows, the higher the price.
