Chutian Metropolis Daily Jimu News reporter Manda intern Tan Dengfang
An internet celebrity with one million fans in Sichuan filmed a video of cooking food with a shark. Some popular science bloggers claimed that the shark was actually an internationally endangered wild animal the human-eating shark . It is also a national second-level protected animal . In response to this, the internet celebrity responded that what he used was not the Man-Eating Shark, but the regular Shark Tooth Shark . However, some experts said that there is a shark called the sharp tooth shark in Taiwan, and it is called the big hole sand bar shark in the mainland, but its size is obviously different from the shark in the video.
Jimu News previously reported that a popular science blogger reported that an Internet celebrity "Tizi" whose IP belongs to Nanchong, Sichuan posted a gourmet video. In the video, she transported a huge shark to the countryside, boiled and grilled it. There are also subtitles in the upper left corner of the video "Artificially bred for consumption". The popular science blogger said that this is the larvae of the national second-level protected animal man-eating shark (also known as great white shark ).
html On the evening of July 14, "Tizi" said in an interview with the media that the shark in the video was not a man-eating shark, but a sharp-toothed shark, and the channel was legitimate. A woman who called herself "Tizi" also called the Jimu News hotline and claimed that what she ate was a sharp-toothed shark. On July 15, a reporter from Jimu News contacted the woman to try to further verify her statement, but she hung up the phone. At present, all the videos of this internet celebrity account have been cleared.
In this regard, Zhou Zhuocheng, chairman of the Native Aquatic Biology and Water Ecology Professional Committee of the China Fisheries Association, said that the shark in the video is indeed a great white shark larvae, and there is no shark named sharptooth shark in mainland my country. If the person involved Hong insisted that she used sharp tooth sharks in her videos, so she was advised to provide a complete legal source certificate with approval.
Another popular science blogger said that the sharp-tooth shark does exist. Its official Chinese name is the large-mouthed sand bar shark. It is found in the South China Sea and the southern waters of Taiwan in China, but it is called the sharp-tooth shark in Taiwan. The body color, head shape, eyes, fins and body shape of the large-hole sandbar shark are obviously different from those of the man-eating shark. The maximum body length of the large-hole sandbar shark is 1 meter, and the average adult body length is 0.6-0.9 meters. The shark in the video is obviously more than 1 meter long.
In addition, self-media popular science blogger Frank Neptune also posted a video saying that the shark the internet celebrity ate in the video was indeed a great white shark, also known as a man-eating shark. This kind of shark is unmanned domestically and even internationally. Even if it is cultured, it is difficult to keep it alive for a long time in aquariums. Our country's aquariums do not have this thing, and the man-eating shark is indeed a national second-level protected animal.
Wang Yamin, associate professor at the School of Oceanography, Weihai Campus, Shandong University, told Jimu News that he also noticed the news. The shark in the video does look like the larvae of the man-eating shark. However, there are also sharks called sharp-tooth sharks in the dialect, and their larvae are similar to the man-eating shark. Similar to sharks, the specific details require further investigation and confirmation by the local fishery department.
Jimu News reporter contacted the Fisheries and Fisheries Affairs Section of Nanchong Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, and the staff said that the matter is currently under investigation by the local police. The relevant person in charge of the Nanchong Municipal Public Security Bureau told Jimu News that the public security organs have attached great importance to the situation since receiving the report and have intervened in the investigation. However, the investigation of the relevant parties and the identification of the sharks will take a certain amount of time and process. The police will report subsequent results.
