    They are raised by animals that eat meat, such as tadpoles, frogs, snails, bugs, and other aquatic animals in the water. Usually it likes to hide in the mouth of the hole, and when food appears, it immediately catches it in its mouth.

    Anyone who grows up in the countryside should know that the yellow eel generally does not eat plants, because they mainly live in rice fields, ponds or ditches, and if they had eaten plants, our crops would have been eaten long ago. In addition to not eating plants, yellow eels have a soft spot for some small fish and shrimp in the rice fields.

    The way the eel eats is also peculiar, because it has a smooth body and no hands and feet, and we may be curious about how it catches food. In fact, the yellow eel is very smart, it likes to live in holes, especially in some rice fields with soft soil, because such rice fields have more water, and there are more small fish, shrimp and insects, which is convenient for it to forage. When it is hungry, it usually hides in the hole and waits for the food to pass by, and when it finds the food, you immediately open its mouth wide to bite the food.

    Despite the fact that it eats very small aquatic animals, it grows very quickly, which is why we can always see the yellow eel so strong.

    In the past, there were a lot of yellow eels in the rural rice fields, and you could catch a basket at any time, but as the environment continued to be polluted, the water quality of rice fields and canals became worse and worse, and it was difficult for yellow eels to survive, and the number of wild yellow eels became smaller and smaller. Most of the yellow eels we can eat now are artificially farmed, fed by feed, and the meat quality is far from that of wild yellow eels.

    Yellow eel is a very nutritious delicacy, even surpassing ginseng. Yellow eel is rich in protein and low in fat, the meat is particularly fatty, and it also has the effect of nourishing blood, it is a very healthy dish, but it is a pity that it is difficult to eat the original ecological yellow eel now.

    Yellow eel is a very important role in the rural ecosystem, and I hope that people will strengthen their awareness of environmental protection, protect the home on which yellow eel depends, and at the same time allow us to enjoy this delicacy continuously.

    We know that in order for animals to survive, they need oxygen, water, and energy (food) to maintain the proper functioning of various organs in the body. So how do yellow eels that live in the mud deal with the demand for these things?

    First of all, the eels themselves live in burrows in the mud, when the waters they live in dries up. In fact, there is a certain amount of water in their caves. At this time, their body surface will secrete a kind of mucus, which will smear their burrows very lubricated, so that the water retention of their burrows will be very strong, that is, even if the outside water has dried up for a long time, their burrows will persist in water or dampness for a long time.

    Of course, in such a situation, it can also meet the water demand of the eel.

    Secondly, although yellow eels live in caves with mud bottoms, their burrows are connected to the outside world, that is, the air from the outside world can enter their burrows. Once the air enters the burrow, the eels are able to stop breathing through their various breathing modes (direct oral breathing, ** and gill breathing) to obtain life-sustaining oxygen needs.

    In addition, the eel lives in the mud and obviously cannot be preyed on to process the body's need for energy. At this time, in order to maintain the normal operation of various organs, the only way to maintain the normal operation of each organ is to convert the fat and muscle stored in them into energy.

    Of course, it is also important to note that when the eel is in this predicament. They adjust themselves to a dormant state, in fact their need for water, oxygen, and energy is very low. Maybe this is also an important magic weapon for them to survive for a long time in this predicament.

    And when there is water outside, the eels will come out of the mud again and start a new life. In short, yellow eels can survive under the mud for a long time, which is their special skill in the process of natural evolution. And this skill also allows the yellow eel to survive and reproduce in different waters.

    The loaches and eels in the fields are all from the river, or they have been released by others, or they may be wild. First of all, anyone who has ever planted crops knows that the water used to irrigate the river is brought in from the big river, so some loaches will also be brought in. And with that, some fish eggs will be introduced, so it's not surprising that there are loaches.

    The other is that others release the fish, sometimes others will buy some fish, and then put them in the river, so that the small fish can return to nature, and this kind of placement will also come to the river or the field. I prefer to eat loaches, which are relatively high in nutrients and have great benefits for the body.

    Maybe it's from the river, that's normal

    When we water the river, we will find some small loaches in the field, which flow from the big river, and sometimes there are some fish eggs or loach eggs and so on. There are also some wild loaches, when the water is dry, they will burrow into the moist land, and sometimes they will burrow into the ground, and wait until the water in the field comes back again, so it is relatively common to see loaches and eels in the field.

    Others released the loaches and let the loaches return to nature

    Some people will buy some relatively small loach seedlings in the local area and put them in the paddy fields, and then catch them and eat them when they grow up. Or put it directly into the river, so that the baby loaches can return directly to nature. In this way, the water source can be protected, and the ecological balance can be well maintained, so that everything has a suitable place to grow.

    Therefore, loaches and eels generally appear in terraced fields or where rice is grown.

    Wild loaches can also be found in rice paddies

    Wild loaches also flow in the rice paddies, and these loaches are small fish eggs that come from all over the world. When the eggs grow up, they become loaches or yellow eels, and in general, these wild ones are fatter. No fertilizer or other feed is added, and the taste is still relatively good.

    If you want to eat some wild loaches, you can go to some of the rice paddies in remote areas to find them.

    Yellow eel is an omnivorous fish with animal food, under natural conditions, mainly eats fish, river shrimp, small river mussels, small snails, insects and their large and medium-sized zooplankton such as cladopods, copepods, rotifers, etc., and devours frogs, tadpoles, and sometimes eats some duckweed, gourd, flocculent algae, etc.

    Artificially cultivated yellow eel, mainly with loach, fly maggots, small fish, shrimp, animal offal, slaughtered scraps, concentrated feed and wheat bran, white rice, grain bran, soybean cake, tofu residue white belt and melons, fruits and vegetables and other fresh feed to feed, and can not be fed rotten and flavorful feed. It is best to mix animal feed and natural feed into pellets after crushing. The size of the particles depends on the size of the eel, and it is generally advisable to swallow it in one bite.

    Yellow eel is a tropical and warm temperate fish, benthic fish of daily life, highly adaptable, can survive on river embankments, lakes, canals and rice fields.

    During the day, they like to burrow in humus sludge or burrow in stone crevices where water is stored on the riverbank.

    There is very little activity during the day, and at night they go out of the cave to find food. The gills are underdeveloped, and rely on the inner cavity of the mouth and the inner cavity of the laryngeal cavity as auxiliary organs for inhalation, and can inhale gas immediately; It can also survive when oxygen levels in the water are very low. After the water comes out, it only needs to keep the skin clammy and cold, and it is not easy to die within a few days.

    Yellow eel is an omnivorous fish that feeds on a variety of animals, is greedy, eats more abundantly in summer, and can go without eating for a long time in the cold season, without dying.

    Yellow eels are generally active in spring, summer and autumn. They like to live in mud holes and stone crevices along ponds, streams, and rice paddy ridges. In winter, it hibernates in a cave.

    In spring, the yellow eel has gone through a winter of dormancy, and the energy is too much to eat, so spring is a good stage for yellow eel fishing. In summer, the climate is very hot, and the yellow eel is burrowing in the aquatic plants, in the cracks of the stones, and under the dead branches to "enjoy the coolness", which is also easy to fish. In autumn, the yellow eel begins to enter the hole and is not easy to be fooled.

    The condition of the reproductive system of the yellow eel is more unique, the juvenile is female, and after the reproductive system once, it changes to male, and the change of this kind of female and male is called sexual reversal.
