Introduction: Recently, someone in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province spent 90,000 yuan to buy 2.5 kilograms of catfish and released it, which caused a stir on the Internet and aroused the attention and heated discussion of many netizens.
Not to mention other things, just look at the situation where 25,000 kilograms of catfish were released, and 20,000 kilograms of catfish died - is the release really so unreliable?

Life is complicated
In fact, the editor has popularized science many times in previous articles. Life, especially aquatic life itself, is very complicated.
When artificially cultivated aquatic products are transferred to natural waters with a changeable environment, the various environmental conditions that these aquatic products rely on for survival will undergo drastic changes. Unless a miracle occurs, a large number of deaths will inevitably occur.

According to the editor’s understanding, in this Changzhou release incident, the catfish purchased by the releaser Ms. Xu from the fishmonger was itself an exotic species " leatherbeard catfish ", which is the Egyptian pond catfish that is very familiar to friends in Guangdong.
Although this leathery catfish has strong vitality, it is a tropical fish species and is relatively afraid of cold. In the cold winter in Changzhou, Jiangsu, being released into the cold Changdang Lake is no different than stuffing it directly into the refrigerator...
Egypt Pond Mackerel is a notorious alien species
In the opinion of the editor, the 25,000 kilograms of Egyptian pond bream fish, except for those that were taken away halfway, will eventually die. Of course, as a notorious alien species, if they survive, it will be a bigger ecological problem and pose a huge threat to all kinds of wild native fish in Changdang Lake.
Taking a step back, even if the fish species the releaser chooses to release are not the cold-sensitive leatherback catfish, these "greenhouse aquatic products" bought in the fish market will still have difficulty adapting to the natural water environment of Changdang Lake, and a large number of deaths are inevitable.

What is unreliable is the releaser.
In fact, similar incidents of releasing animals into killings can be seen everywhere in the country (especially in the south). However, because the scale is not large - the average release site only weighs tens or hundreds of kilograms, so it has not attracted public attention.

- releasing animals always turns into killing. Can we say that releasing animals is completely unreliable?
In fact, the editor feels that the ones who release people are unreliable, so we cannot completely deny the issue of life release.
For example, as a fishing enthusiast, the editor organized local fishing friends to spend money together in 2016 and purchased various high-quality fry (including silver carp) for 20,000 yuan from a specially qualified breeding farm. Bighead carp, crucian carp, grass carp, cocked carp, etc.) were released into the Ganjiang watershed under the guidance of fishery experts, and no group deaths occurred. I believe the survival rate is still acceptable.

it can ensure the survival rate. The fish species selected are native fish inherent in the local rivers. The editor believes that this kind of release is definitely intended to protect the river ecology, and of course it is meaningful.

Fishmongers should also be punished
In addition, the editor noticed that in the Changzhou release incident, the prosecutor also filed a lawsuit against the fishmonger (Liu), and in the end the fishmonger was also punished, which was relatively rare in the past.
For this, the editor must give thumbs up to the prosecutors. Indiscriminate releases occur frequently, and black-hearted fishmongers must bear at least half of the blame. The releasers can be said to have no knowledge of ecology. Fishmongers deal with all kinds of aquatic products all year round. How could not know which fish are alien species and which fish are ecologically destructive?
Knowing clearly that the leatherback catfish is an exotic species that is strictly prohibited from release, but still encouraging the releasers to purchase it, the editor believes that this kind of greedy behavior is even more disgusting than releasing it!

Release should not be blind
Finally, looking at the "25,000 kilograms of catfish release incident" that has attracted widespread attention recently, not only did a large number of catfish die, but the release eventually turned into killing, seriously damaging the ecological environment of Changdang Lake, and 180,000 people who released them were lost, which can be called a complete loss of blood.

In this regard, the editor has some sympathy for the releaser (Ms. Xu) in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province - you can't help but say that she is not sincere, and you can't deny her original intention of "doing good".
But it is obvious that Ms. Xu was blinded by some wrong ideas under the psychological influence of "seeking merit", so her behavior appeared blind and completely ignored the laws of nature. This is also a true portrayal of many people who release wild animals indiscriminately in society.

In fact, in the editor's opinion, releasing lives to do good is a very personal matter. In this case, there is no need to add a "release circle or merit circle" - in this case, naturally you will not be deceived by some people with ulterior motives.
As long as I learn more ecological knowledge and release animals scientifically and in an orderly manner, I don’t know if there will be any blessings, but at least it will be beneficial to the body and mind!
