Henan Ruzhou made great efforts to capture the ferocious crocodile gar.
As a result, the crocodile gar was caught, but it also aroused doubts from many people, who believed that there was no need to go to war and blatantly destroyed the ecological environment.
Leaving aside what is right and wrong, let’s talk about the origin and dangers of the alligator gar.
The crocodile gar can grow to about 1.5 meters in length. It is covered with hard scales and has sharp teeth, making it look like a giant.
He also has another characteristic, he is not picky about food. Any living creature in the water will become his meal, without any resistance at all. If he goes crazy, he would dare to attack anyone.
Some people may be dissatisfied. As long as we catch the alligator gar, we will retaliate and process it into delicacies. If you think so, you are absolutely wrong.
The internal organs and eggs of the alligator gar are highly poisonous. If you eat them just for a feast, you may get into trouble. In addition, his cleaning is not an easy task, which makes people retreat even if it is difficult.
I heard that in foreign countries, some people do eat crocodile gar, but they are all specially processed. As for the taste, we don't know.
To China, the alligator gar is an alien species, but now it has become a "frequent visitor". The reason is that someone did it deliberately.
The crocodile gar was still very cute when it was young, and it can be called an " ornamental fish ". I heard from a friend in the south that in Guangdong, alligator gar are called "lucky crocodiles".
However, his appearance really did not bring blessings to all things, but it added a lot of trouble and headaches.
He is growing very fast and it is difficult to fit him in a small fish tank.
There is another kind of person who raises alligator gar in the first place just to keep them fresh. The short-term excitement passed, and I became inexplicably bored with it.
In this case, how to deal with the alligator gar has become a troublesome issue in front of us. I want to kill him, but I really can't do it. Simply release it and let it fend for itself.
As everyone knows, after leaving artificial captivity, the crocodile gar becomes more and more arrogant and domineering, until it becomes a "cold-blooded killer" in the water, bringing disaster to the water ecosystem.
Alligator gar are basically adaptable to different living environments, so they can survive and develop effectively. Males reach sexual maturity around 6 years old, while females reach sexual maturity at 11 years, with a lifespan of 26-50 years, with a record of 75 years. Quite scary.
As of now, young alligator gar can still be easily purchased in many pet markets. Only some merchants will issue a reminder that "exotic species are not allowed to be released". This is really not a good sign.
What is more noteworthy is that in 2003, my country released the "List of Invasive Alien Species in China ". So far, four batches have been released, with a total of 71 species, but the alligator gar has not yet been included in the list.
Relevant experts appealed that if you really can't afford or don't want to raise crocodile gar, you must send it to the relevant functional departments for processing, and you must not release or discard it into the wild at will.
