, there was a drained lake in Ruzhou, Henan Province, to catch crocodile gar , and later, there were scavengers released in Baise Men's Reservoir in Guangxi.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, some people found that by the Chengbi Lake Reservoir in Baise City, Guangxi Province, several people were riding in small boats and dumping things into the lake with plastic bags, looking like some lively fish. Soon their behavior attracted people's attention, and a closer look showed that these people were actually huge scavengers. The scavenger is an invasive species, and it is illegal to release the animals privately. But the man who released the animals did not care when he saw people watching, but he even said with plausibility: "Whoever sees them is blessed."
The man released the scavenger saying "blessed are those who see it"
The scavenger can be said to be one of the most famous invasive alien species in my country, and there are still people who dare to blatantly release the release, and the onlookers who could not stand it immediately called the police. . After the Agricultural Law Enforcement Detachment of Baise City, Guangxi arrived at the scene, they quickly locked the people who released the animals. After investigation, there were a total of 3 people who participated in the release of the scavenger, and the leader was a man. The man said that he has always had the habit of releasing animals, and he used to release some carp , grass carp and the like. He believes that this is a kind of "doing good" and will accumulate "good karma".
The scavenger released this time is the live fish he bought from the vegetable market. The fish vendor of told him that this kind of fish is beautiful, so it is best to release it. The man said he didn't know what kind of fish the scavenger was, so he listened to the fishmonger's tricks, bought a big bag, and took them to the center of the reservoir for release.
The man thought he was doing a good deed, so he shouted "blessed are those who see it" when releasing the animals. After hearing the man's explanation, the police were dumbfounded, but in any case his behavior had seriously endangered the local natural environment, and because the reservoir was too large, it was difficult to catch all these scavenger fish. After being explained by professionals, the man said that he is very regretful now, because his ignorance has caused so much trouble, and he will definitely take it as a warning in the future.
The dangers of scavengers should be well known to more people.
The scientific name of scavenger fish is called leopard catfish, because it has flooded very fast in recent years and has brought serious adverse effects to the ecology of many places. Therefore, in various regions They have spent a lot of effort in propaganda, in order to prevent people from being released at will because they do not know. But it can be seen from this incident that there are still many people who do not know what a scavenger is, and I am afraid that other invasive alien species are even more difficult to identify.
The scavenger fish are actually very recognizable. Their color is black and autumn, and the whole body is covered with striped lines. Its body is streamlined with a wide front and a narrow back, with a raised back and a smooth abdomen. It has a hard shell on it, and the skin on its whole body is very hard. Scavengers have different names in different areas, they can be anglerfish, sucker fish , can also be called strong waist dragon, waist treasure fish, because scavengers eat everything, and there is a certain water area Cleaning effect, so people also call it garbage fish .
scavenger fish is native to Latin America. Because of its peculiar appearance, it was introduced into my country as ornamental fish . Later, due to artificial release and other reasons, the scavenger fish fled into the wild and began to compete with the native fish in our country for living space. The scavenger fish will eat the eggs of other fish. It can eat 5000 fish eggs a day, which makes it difficult for other fish to continue to reproduce. Doffer is a fish. It is difficult to catch other fish in places where there are many scavengers, and it is basically the scavengers who bite the hook.
Some people will say that crayfish is also an invasive species, isn't it also honestly staying on the plate now? In fact, some people have tried to eat Qing Dao.However, their shells are hard and difficult to handle, and the meat is woody and rough. It tastes like chewing wax, and it is difficult to eat at all. On the other hand, scavenger fish is recognized as "the dirtiest fish in the world" by , and these guys can also jump around in stinky ditch.
Release of alien species is not advisable
The damage to fisheries by scavenger fish is "devastating", and in addition to scavengers, there are some terrible invasive alien species that should also be known. The more well-known ones are Brazilian colored turtle, red fire ant , crocodile gar, Egyptian bearded catfish , Fushou snail , etc. I believe that many people already know the crocodile gar very well. Recently, there are many in our country. Alligator gars have been found in all places. In addition to Ruzhou, Henan, alligator gars were also found in the landscape pool of a community in Shenzhen in early September. According to the verification of the property management company, the vicious crocodile gar has never been put in this landscape pool, because it is likely to be released artificially. At present, the crocodile gar has been caught and treated harmlessly.
The release of animals requires very professional knowledge, and the random release of animals is likely to cause serious ecological disasters. Nowadays, many people's behavior is to just "release", regardless of "life", they don't know whether they release a harmful species, and they don't know whether the things they release can survive. This kind of release is meaningless, and even faces legal sanctions. On the other hand, should stop seriously endangered alien species from the source, otherwise only the release and capture can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause.
