It is understood that the alligator gar is an exotic species native to North America. It has a short snout like a crocodile, a deep cracked mouth, sharp teeth, and a fish body covered with diamond-shaped hard scales. The fish are much larger, and the alligator gar growing in the wild can grow to a maximum of about 3 meters. The alligator gar was once introduced as a ornamental fish , and was even called a lucky eel. It is not only available in the flower and bird market, but even sold on some e-commerce platforms.
On the afternoon of the 30th, the reporter visited several aquariums located on Boai South Road in Haikou and found that some aquariums were selling alligator gars. In one of the aquariums, in a fish tank at the bottom, five alligator gars with a head of about 60 centimeters paraded freely in the water. "If you keep this fish, you must be responsible to the end. Even if you don't keep it for one day, you must dispose of it properly. You must not release it at will." Gars are kept in the same tank as other fish, or fish of similar size are required to be raised together. The reporter learned that the price of several alligator gars that the aquarium is selling is around 600 yuan. Alligator gar caught by

The crocodile gar grows relatively fast. It may be a small one when I buy it, but soon, there is not enough space in the home to raise it. Therefore, some consumers will throw alligator gars into waters such as rivers and lakes after raising them for a period of time, which is extremely irresponsible. Zhang Xiang, an associate professor at the School of Oceanography of Hainan University, introduced that alligator gars are ferocious by nature and are predatory fish. Random release will threaten the survival of native species in the area, and is extremely destructive to the ecology. In the event of food shortages, alligator gars will Maybe even attack humans.
In addition, the reproductive ability of the alligator gar is also amazing. It can lay more than 100,000 eggs at a time, and these eggs are also highly poisonous, so the alligator gar cannot be eaten. Zhang Xiang reminded that if citizens find small crocodile gars in rivers, lakes or other waters, and they have the conditions for catching them, they can be caught and buried on the premise of ensuring safety; if large crocodile gars are found You should call the 12345 government service hotline as soon as possible and report it to the relevant department, and the management department will catch it and remove it, and deal with it harmlessly.
