Draining a lake in order to catch a fish is a bit strange no matter how you say it. Alligator Gar What’s so scary about ? To make people go to war like this?
Ruzhou City, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province has been struggling with catching "strange fish" for a long time. According to the city park management, the "strange fish" in the waters of Yunchan Lake was discovered and notified in mid-July this year. The management was relieved, and then organized efforts to round up the strange fish.
initially used a large cast net to fish, but nothing was caught. Later, a professional fishing team was invited and sonar was used to locate the gar. However, the alligator gar may have been disturbed and acted more secretly. Later, the management team We purchased a large seine net for baiting and trapping, but we still couldn't catch it. It can be seen that these two alligator gars are also fighting wits and courage with the people who caught them.
Perhaps the excessive cunning of these two strange fish made people anxious. In the end, the fishermen took the method of draining the water of Yunzhen Lake. Human beings relied on their super abilities to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks on these two crocodile gars. Even if 200,000 cubic meters of lake water is drained and the environment in which the alligator gar lives is cleared, it still needs to be captured.
However, the cleverness of these two strange fish once again made humans miscalculate. They quietly hid in the culvert connecting the lake. Even if the water in the lake was drained, there was still no trace of them.
Now we could only carry out targeted strikes. We sent divers to use large nets to pass through the entire culvert from beginning to end. The alligator gar had nowhere to hide, and they were both captured alive on the evening of August 26.
In order to catch these two strange fish, the operation and maintenance management of Ruzhou City Park has spent a lot of effort, so why must we catch these two strange fish? Just because they are an alien species? The main reason is that this kind of fish is actually quite scary when living in lakes where people often visit, and it is a devastating blow to local species.
Alligator gar is native to North America, and its place of origin is the eastern and southern parts of North America , or mainly produced in the United States and Mexico , most of which occur In Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana, the United States, the alligator gar that appears in our country is likely to come from there. It is also found in Cuba and other Central American countries. It is gar order⇒gar family ⇒The giant gar is the largest of the seven species of gar in North America and is a lower bony fish.
It has a slender body, hard scales, and a long crocodile-like mouth. It is an aquatic carnivorous fish and is very ferocious. Data shows that it can grow to 3 meters long, exceeding the height of a human being. The water where it is located All animals in the domain are on its menu. If humans swim in the river, they may be attacked. Some people have observed and studied that it has the tendency to brutally attack humans. Therefore, if there is such a fish in the lake, it means there is also one. They are similar to crocodiles, which is why the operation and maintenance management of City Park insisted on catching these two crocodile gars.
So where did these two crocodile gars in Yunchan Lake come from? It is basically certain that someone released it into this lake. The release of this kind of fish is very abhorrent and very harmful, because not only this kind of fish will attack humans, but it will also cause devastating blows to other fish and other animals in the water area. , so this kind of release is not only not doing good, but on the contrary is doing evil.
The two extra crocodile gars in Yunchan Lake are one male and one female, so there is a high probability that they laid many eggs and bred offspring. The female crocodile gar can lay up to 14 eggs at a time. ~200,000. In this case, there may be eggs and small fry of this fish in the water that was pumped out of the lake and in the mud of the lake. What should I do? The follow-up may be even more troublesome. If this lake is connected to other waters, it will be extremely difficult to completely eliminate the alligator gar species in this waters.
html On August 27, another media revealed that a large crocodile gar was found in the Diannong River in Yinchuan, Ningxia. It seemed to be 0.7 meters long. However, a local cleaner said that he had already caught it alive after seeing it. He caught the alligator gar and raised it at home, but the strange fish died two days later and was buried by the cleaners.
So are there such fish in other waters in my country? In fact, in the past few years, many friends who love fishing said that they found crocodile gar, a strange fish with a crocodile mouth, in some waters. There are 20,000 of them, indicating that this fish is likely to be in the The species invades the spread stage of , and the source of its emergence is nothing more than the release behavior of some people in different waters.
This incident also reminds us that we must not only strictly manage the release of animals, but also legislate and control the raising of some exotic species and hazardous species, because most people raise certain animals on a whim. ,In no mood Raising them and releasing them at will without considering the harm to the environment or other people, and most breeders are unable to raise them harmlessly. After such animals are bred, they are given away, sold or released at will, which is also a sign of poor management. Causing domesticated animals to escape is an extremely harmful behavior to the environment and other people and cannot be allowed to continue.
