Not long ago, news about the invasive alien species crocodile gar became a hot search. Not only many places in China, but also in a certain community in Dalian , the traces of crocodile gar were found, which aroused heated discussions among the general public. So have you heard of alligator gars and understand their habits? Today I will give you some popular science:
crocodile gar is native to tropical and subtropical regions of North America. It is a giant freshwater carnivorous fish. The adult fish generally grows up to 1.5-2 meters in length. The internal organs and eggs are poisonous, and the recipes are wide. It has no natural enemies in the waters of our country. It is an invasive alien species. This shows that its "power" means its great harm.
Recently, in response to media reports, a crocodile gar was found in a pond in a community in our city. The article mentioned that a crocodile gar had also occurred in the lake in Baiyun Yanshui Park. The park attached great importance to it and immediately dispatched staff to inspect and inspect the overall Yanshui Lake. Up to now, no traces of crocodile gar have been found in the waters of Yanshui Lake. In addition, the park immediately contacted Gu Guoqiang, executive vice president of Dalian Wildlife Conservation Association, and obtained two photos of suspected crocodile gars in Yanshui Lake. In order to further confirm whether it is an invasive alien species, the park will work with staff from the Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau and President Gu Guoqiang to conduct a field investigation of the waters of Yanshui Lake. Once discovered and confirmed, it will be reported to the business department Dalian Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, Municipal Natural Resources Bureau, and Municipal Ocean Bureau to organize professionals to arrest and reward the capture. At the same time, the park will place an exhibition board around Yanshui Lake to carry out popular science knowledge publicity, so that the general public can fully understand the potential threats and harms of invasive alien species to the ecological environment, eliminate disorderly release of animals, and ensure the normal and orderly ecological environment in the relevant waters of our city.
Dalian Forest Zoo reminds the general public that once a aquatic organism is found, please take photos or save videos in time, and report to the relevant departments immediately so that they can be identified and captured in a timely manner, eliminate hidden dangers, and ensure the purity of the waters of our homes. At the same time, we also call for reminding the general public that any act of privately buying, selling or releasing wild species will not only cause pollution and damage to the ecological environment, but may also involve the law. We must be highly vigilant and do not let foreign invasive species harm one side.
