A pound of wild yellow eels grows for several years

According to the experience of the older generation, it is generally believed that "yellow eels grow one pound in ten years", which means that most wild yellow eels are actually difficult to grow to 1 pound in their lifetime. But the captive-bred ones are another story.

Although the yellow eel is rich in nutrition, it is recommended that everyone try to eat as little wild as possible, the yellow eel grows slowly, the heavier the yellow eel The longer the growth cycle, the more parasites and bacteria in the body, which will inevitably be dangerous because of unclean handling.

Because of its relatively small size in the early stage, wild yellow eels can only eat some plankton in the water or silt, and their growth is particularly slow, generally eight to ten years to grow to one catty;

But then the yellow eel has become larger, you can eat some wild fish and shrimp, the growth rate is relatively fast, generally if you grow normally, a pound after three years can increase a pound, but this set of theories is only applicable to wild yellow eel, for the raised yellow eel generally about a pound of slaughter only takes a year to reach a pound.

For more than one pound of goods, the growth cycle of wild environment is more than 12 years, and the growth of yellow eel is slow in the early stage, fast in the middle stage, and slow in the late stage.

Can you grow a pound in 3 years? What are you kidding, 3 years is at most half a catty, and it will take at least seven or eight years to grow to more than one catty.

It takes at least three years to grow to a pound.

This depends on the wild environment, if the grass pond or grass ditch muddy soil water is not deep, the loach small fish and shrimp are more, from the beginning of the eggs in June 4 years can be on the catty, if it is a regular activity that grows in the cracks of the stone, it will take more than 6 years to rub off the mucus. There is also a situation of sandy soil and stones, not much food, it may not grow big, up to 2-3 taels, yellow eels can generally live for about 10 years and the longest, go out to the grass pond to catch eels, many times see a pound and a half of yellow eels drill mountains to hang. The growth cycle of foreign goods (Guangzhou, Myanmar) is shorter, and the largest can grow to more than 3 catties, with a life span of less than 10 years.

The lifespan of wild yellow eels is generally about 6 years, and a very small number of yellow eels can survive for as long as 10 years in the natural environment.

Basically, there is no yellow eel that can live for more than 10 years. The lifespan of artificially farmed yellow eels is longer than that of wild yellow eels, with a certain probability of more than 10 years. Yellow eel is a tropical and warm temperate fish, benthic fish, highly adaptable, living at the bottom of water bodies, mainly inhabiting paddy fields, lakes, ponds, rivers and ditches and other muddy waters.

According to this friend who breeds yellow eels, the spawning period of yellow eels is in May and June every year.

When it grows into the mud around November, it spends the winter, and no longer eats, and the individual weight of the eels this year is only 3-5 grams. The weight gain in the second and third years is not much, and the weight of the three-year yellow eel is generally less than 60 grams. But by the fourth year, it starts to grow rapidly, and its weight can reach 100-200 grams that year, and by the sixth year, if it grows quickly, it can reach about 350 grams.

However, after several years of rapid growth, the growth of the eel has become quite slow from the sixth year onwards. Wild eels weighing more than 500 grams are usually grown for at least 12 years, and this is still very rare. There are news reports.

The largest yellow eel is actually more than 30 catties, which is really scary.

In its natural state, the lifespan of yellow eels is generally about 15 years, and a few can live up to 20 years;

Under artificial conditions, there are indeed records of more than 20 years, and the age of three to four people who survive in the wild is about three years, the age of five to seven is about 5 years, and the age of more than 8 is more than 6 years.

How many catties can the wild yellow eel in the rural fields grow to? The wild yellow eel in the rural fields generally grows up to about one to two catties, and the wild yellow eel also has high requirements for the environment, and the places with rich nutrition and hygiene will grow fast, and the places with poor environment will grow slowly.

This is true in rural eels where children catch eels in the rice fields, and eels always like to go out at night to find something to eat. As soon as the flashlight shines, you know**There are yellow eels**There are no yellow eels, people like to catch yellow eels, and after catching yellow eels, improve their living standards. But at that time, there were only two or three wild animals that children could catch, and it was rare to have a yellow eel that could reach four taels.

With the pollution and destruction of the environment, the wasteland of rural fields is becoming more and more common, and the yellow eel is becoming less and less. When the environment deteriorates, people's demand for this delicious food is also increasing, and many people have caught this food through some methods that seriously damage the ecology, making the yellow eel in the rice fields barren. Wild yellow eels are more common, and it is not easy for yellow eels to see half a kilogram.

Now it is wild that the yellow eel is becoming less and less and smaller. And the yellow eel grows particularly slowly, and the requirements for the environment are also very high. Where nutrition is abundant and sanitation conditions are good, development is fast, and where the environment is poor, development is slow.

In the south, some people keep them in captivity for yellow eels, which are apparently easier to grow up than wild eels. But whether it's a wild eel or a captive eel, the growth rate of the eel population is influenced by many factors. As mentioned above, factors such as the nutrient content of the water where the eel lives, the eel at your age, and the eel living in a good ecological environment will affect the development of healthy eel.

Even if the wild plant grows for two years in a row, it is a good thing to grow 10 grams in the first year and then hibernate for a long time in the mud Yellow eel, it is good to grow to 15-20 grams. But in the third year of the small yellow eel, it officially began to grow rapidly. I have seen some plants with better growing environment, when it grows to 3 years, it can reach a weight of about 22, and can grow for 4 to 5 years, and it can grow up to half a kilogram.

It's the biggest I've ever seen.

By the sixth year, the growth rate of the yellow eel will be slower and slower, which means that most of the things we see in the wild are actually about half a kilogram in size. In the news, I saw an old farmer catch a pound of yellow eel, there is similar news everywhere, and in the wild, you can also see that the yellow eel can indeed grow up to 1 kilogram in areas with a suitable environment and rich nutrients. Some old farmers even accidentally caught a 3 or 5 kilogram human eel, so I haven't seen the eel yet.

Even if there is, it can be counted as "yellow eel" essence", and ordinary people should not eat it, but should collect it.

In short, I think it's crazy that yellow eels can grow up to half a kilogram, it's amazing. It should be a relatively large individual that can grow up to one kilogram. But here's a reminder that wild eel, if he lives too many years, will have toxins in his blood.

When eating, try to avoid cooking or draining the blood of these toxins, and safety comes first.

In the past, there were really many yellow eels in the rural fields, and the children would wait until the evening, take a bucket and a flashlight to catch the yellow eel in the paddy field, and the yellow eel always likes to come out to forage at night. At that time, there were more wild yellow eels, and people's enthusiasm for catching yellow eels was also high, especially for children. However, at that time, the size of wild yellow eels that children could catch was generally more than two or three, and yellow eels that reached 4 taels were rare.

Now, with the pollution and destruction of the environment caused by people's production and life, there are fewer and fewer wild yellow eels in rural fields. And at the same time as the environment is deteriorating, people's demand for yellow eel is also increasing, and many people catch yellow eels through some methods that seriously damage the ecology, such as using electric fish to catch yellow eels, resulting in a continuous decrease in the number of wild yellow eels in your paddy fields.

In the past, when there were more wild yellow eels, the size of the yellow eels could be seen weighing half a catty, which was not easy, and now there are fewer and fewer wild yellow eels and even fewer large ones. Moreover, the growth of yellow eel is particularly slow, and the requirements for the environment are also very high, and the place with rich nutrition and hygiene grows quickly, and the place with a bad environment grows slowly.

In the south, some people will raise yellow eels in captivity, compared with wild yellow eels, artificial eels are obviously easier to grow bigger. However, whether it is a wild yellow eel or an artificially bred yellow eel, the growth rate of the yellow eel is affected by many factors. As mentioned above, the nutrient content of the water where the eel lives, the age of the eel, and the excellent ecological environment in which the eel lives will affect the growth of the eel.

The yellow eels I know generally hatch in May and June every year, after the small yellow eels are hatched, the small yellow eels often grow 10 grams in the first year, and then they burrow into the mud for a long hibernation, even if the wild yellow eels that grow for two consecutive years, it can grow to 15-20 grams is already very good. However, the small yellow eel only officially began to grow rapidly in the third year, I have seen some yellow eels with a better growth environment, when they grow to 3 years, the weight has been able to reach about 2 taels, and the yellow eel that grows for four or five years can grow to half a catty, which is already the largest I have ever seen.

And it is said that when the yellow eel grows to the sixth year, the growth rate will become slower and slower, which means that most of the yellow eels we see in the wild are actually about half a catty.

In some news, it is sometimes seen that the old farmer accidentally caught a pound of yellow eel, and there are similar things in the news everywhere, which shows that wild yellow eels can indeed grow to 1 pound in areas with suitable environment and rich nutrients. And some old farmers even accidentally caught a yellow eel weighing 3 catties, 5 catties, such a yellow eel I have never seen, even if there is, it can be regarded as "yellow eel essence", ordinary people should not eat, but collect.

In short, I think that it is already remarkable for wild yellow eels to grow to half a catty, and it should be a relatively large individual to grow to 1 catty. However, I would like to remind you that wild yellow eel, if you live for too many years, your blood will contain toxins, and when you eat it, try to cook the yellow eel or drain the blood, safety first.

How many catties can the wild yellow eel in the rural fields grow to?

Speaking of the yellow eel, the farmers still gave it a lot of legends, such as the "moon eel", which is a very large yellow eel, and the farmer's words say "the yellow eel has become a fine, whenever the moon is full, the moon eel will come out, and the moon wants to fly to the sky". Of course, this is a beautiful legend of people, just to show that the moon eel is best not to eat, the farmers are very particular, the moon eel has two bulging bags on both sides of the head, saying that there are toxins in it can not be eaten, and there are even old farmers who say that they can turn bones.

"These three brothers, I kept them in the water tank at home, I didn't dare to eat, and I was reluctant to eat. "In the tank, the three large yellow eels have a blue-brown back, an orange belly, and black spots all over the body. Lazily lying in the water, he didn't pay attention to it with his hands, and when he grabbed it, he writhed desperately.

After seeing that it was a yellow eel, he quickly got the yellow eel home, "A weighed more than 3 catties, measured with a tape measure, 110 cm, and the yellow eel was dug up before, and the largest one was more than a catty, and it was the first time I saw such a big yellow eel." ”

During the subsequent dredging process, two more large yellow eels were dug up. "One is 2 catties and 9 taels, and one is 2 catties and 8 taels, both of which are more than one meter. ”

It's really evil, but the wild yellow eel in the countryside is still caught by many farmers, and the delicacy of the wild yellow eel has been tasted by every rural guy.

As the subject said, the old man said that there are three places with the most yellow eels, and we also have this saying in our local area:

The first is the stinky gutter on the eaves of the hometown. Now the rural areas have been built. In the past, the drainage ditch under the eaves of our local house has water all the year round, all of which are made of stones, stagnant water all the year round, and there are many gaps in the stones, which is a good place for the yellow eel to live.

When we fish for yellow eels, we use the umbrella bone to sharpen the tip of the head, and then bend the hook and wear the earthworm to catch the yellow eel.

The second type is the wild pond and wild river outside the village. Yetang Yehe is perennial water, not dry, because no one takes care of it, there are a lot of yellow eels and loaches living in it, we like to put the yellow eel cage when we were young, a pointed end, a round cage, put in the earthworm, put it in the evening, the next morning to collect the cage, will be loaded with a lot of yellow eel.

The third type is the muddy field where rice is grown. The so-called muddy field, is to say that this kind of field has water all the year round, because the terrain is low, perennial mud, so it is conducive to the life of the yellow eel, such a mud field of the yellow eel generally out at night to feed, we will take a fork and electric light at night when we are a child, see the yellow eel on the fork, a fork and a quasi.

Due to the lack of food sources, it is generally difficult for wild yellow eels to grow to half a catty, and it is too rare to grow to 3 catties. Liu Yinchu, the chief engineer of the Municipal Science and Technology Commissioner and the Municipal Animal Husbandry, Veterinary and Aquatic Products Bureau, said that there are only two kinds of eels, one is the yellow eel, which is the most widely distributed. The other is the mountain yellow eel, which is only distributed in Longchuan County, Yunnan.

Speaking of yellow eels, I remember that when I was a child, I often caught them in the ditch, because when I was a child, the farmland did not use pesticides and fertilizers as much as it does now, and people didn't catch it much before, but just let it grow. And now, because of the wanton use of pesticides and fertilizers and the large number of people who catch them now, it is difficult for the yellow eel to survive in the farmland, let alone grow.

I remember when I was a child, I once caught a super large yellow eel, and when it comes to weight, everyone may say that I brag, because it is five pounds and eight taels, and I still remember the details related to catching this big yellow eel that day.

I remember the summer vacation when I was in the fourth grade, because of the braised fish eaten by the neighbor's house, I saw the gluttony and wanted my mother to make it for me, but at that time, because the family conditions were relatively poor, the family did not have extra money to buy fish to eat, so my mother asked me to go to the ditch next to the farmland behind to catch some small grass carp for me to fry and eat in the afternoon, so in order to open a meat I asked my father to take me there.

When I got to the bank of the ditch, I saw that there was a small ditch on the shore, there was not much water in it, but there were fish swimming in it, my father asked me to block the exit, ready to scoop the water inside to catch the fish inside, we took more than half an hour to scoop the water in the ditch dry, sure enough, there were a lot of small grass carp in it, I was happy to put my hand into it to catch fish, when I caught the fish, I suddenly felt a slippery hand, I thought it was a water snake and hurriedly called my father to come over.

Dad came over with this little stick, and when he went underwater, he found that it was a large yellow eel of nearly a meter, I had never seen such a long yellow eel, almost as thick as my arm at that time. Dad was also surprised when he saw it, saying that he had caught something smaller than this one when he was young, and he had never seen such a big one. The two of us took a fertilizer bag back home and weighed it, which was five pounds and eight taels.

When he was about to kill it, he was seen by his grandfather, and his grandfather didn't let him kill it, saying that this kind of yellow eel had lived for at least a hundred years, and killing it was a violent thing, and there were too many parasites in this yellow eel, and it was not good for the body to eat it, so my father had no choice but to put it back into the ditch.

This is also the biggest eel I've seen so far in my life, and now there are fewer and fewer eels, and I think it will be harder to see such a big eel in the future. In the current ecological environment, the yellow eel is generally five or six taels, can grow to about a pound even if it is a giant in the yellow eel, remember that when the yellow eel was caught in the past, the smaller ones will stay to let them continue to grow, and now people do not even let go of the small yellow eel of more than ten centimeters, no matter how big or small they are caught, it is also this reason that the wild yellow eel is now less and less. Therefore, I would like to appeal to everyone below to keep the small ones as much as possible when catching them, and not to eat them as endangered species in the near future.
