There is no specific breeding time for ankang fish. It is a parasitic relationship between the male ankang fish and the female ankang fish. The male ankang fish needs to find the female ankang fish in adulthood, bite the female ankang fish's body with his mouth and release a digestive enzyme. This digestive enzyme can act as a kind of "adhesive", allowing male ankang fish to access the female's circulatory system. In this way, the male ankang fish can parasitize the female ankang fish. After this parasitic relationship is formed, the ankang fish can spawn and reproduce, and find the male ankang fish attached to the female, and its eyes and organs in the body will gradually degenerate in the future, only retaining the reproductive function.
Living habits of ankang fish, ankang fish is a kind of deep-sea fish, which are distributed in the temperate ocean of the world from 50 meters to 100 meters deep. There are more than 250 kinds of ankang fish known to mankind. Some people call it "sea ghost fish" because of its unique appearance. Ankang fish is edible and its meat is rich in gum. Ankang fish liver tastes delicious and is called "goose liver in the sea". Ankang is an offshore bottom fish, its muscles are slack and its motor organs are underdeveloped. Coupled with the heavy body, swimming is quite difficult, so you can only perch on the bottom of the sea and crawl on the bottom of the sea with the pectoral fins like arms. Ankang fish caught at sea are usually females, and males are generally not seen. This is because the male fish parasitizes the female fish when they are very young, and most of them have become an organic whole with the female fish, but the body shape of the male fish can still be distinguished by careful observation. Intimacy between men and women is rare in the animal kingdom. There are also very few males who live alone. It is said that the male Ankang caught off Iceland weighs only one thousandth of that of the female Ankang.
