What is bighead carp called, and what kind of fish is bighead carp?

Bighead carp is also called fathead fish and baotou fish.

Bighead carp is a type of freshwater fish, one of the four major fish in China, the shape is a bit like silver carp, the body is flattened. The head of bighead carp is large and broad, and the head length is about 1 3 of body length. The mouth is also wide, slightly upturned, and the eyes are low.

Bighead carp are mostly found in the pelagic layer of water and grow in freshwater lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and ponds. The edible value of bighead carp is very high, and it has the effect of benefiting IQ, helping memory, and delaying aging.

Silver carp and bighead carp are both pelagic filter-feeding species, precisely because the silver carp inhabit, swim, and forage in the water layer is close, and the food and feeding patterns are the same, which is also one of the reasons why the silver carp is one, but in the physiological details, there are still differences.

How to make bighead carp:

Braised bighead carp with pickled peppers.

Prepare the following ingredients: 1 bighead carp, 20 pickled peppers, 3 shallots, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp chicken essence, 3 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 5 cloves of garlic, 1 piece of ginger, 1 tbsp aged vinegar, 1 tbsp starch, 1 egg white, 1 tsp pepper.

Specific method: After cleaning the bighead carp, take out the fish meat, slice it into thin slices, chop the fish head and fish bones into small pieces, add salt cooking wine to the fish head and fish bones, and marinate for preparation. Put the fish in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, add 1 egg white, add 1 teaspoon of pepper, add 1 tablespoon of starch, and grasp well!

Then add a little more oil than usual to stir-fry, then add minced ginger, minced garlic, pickled pepper, stir-fry over low heat to bring out the spicy taste, then pour in the fish broth, it will boil in an instant, add 3 tablespoons of light soy sauce, add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, then put in the fish fillet, cook on high heat for 30 seconds, put it into a plate with fish bones, and then sprinkle with green onions!

The silver carp is also called the silver carp, the fathead fish, the baotou fish, the big-headed fish, the black silver carp (there are also places called the silver carp), and there are also called male fishIt resembles a silver carp in shape and has flat sides, and is a kind of freshwater fish. The head is large and broad, about 1 3 of body length, and the mouth is also wide, slightly upturned, and the eyes are low. The silver carp filter feeds on algae, zooplankton and organic detritus.

Features: The mouth is also wide, slightly upturned, and the eye position is low.

The bighead carp is called planktivorous fish, which filters algae, zooplankton and organic detritus through gill rakers, and its food composition varies with the food in the environment**, but it is difficult to ingest 10 um of food particles.

Silver carp is also used to control large outbreaks of cyanobacteria in water bodies, which is known as a non-classical biological manipulation technique. Silver carp is also used in water-retaining fisheries or water-purifying fisheries.

Bighead carp is also called silver carp, fathead fish, baotou fish, bighead fish, black silver carp, silver carp, silver carp, and also called male fish

Bighead carp is a common fish, and they are also known by many other names, such as "silver carp", "fatheadfish", "bigheadfish", and so on. In terms of appearance, one of the most striking features of bighead carp is that their heads are so large that they can even account for one-third or even nearly one-half of their body proportions. From the genus point of view, bighead carp belongs to the class of radial-finned fishes, the order of cypriniformes and the family of cyprinidae.

Bighead carp is widely distributed in China, and it can be said that it is distributed in freshwater waters everywhere. For example, in rivers, ponds, lakes, reservoirs and other waters, bighead carp can be seen frequently. They are mainly distributed in the middle and upper layers of the water area and belong to a type of pelagic fish.

The habits of bighead carp

Bighead carp live in the middle and pelagic layers of the main stream of rivers, gentle bays, lakes and reservoirs, juveniles and immature individuals generally go to the lakes along the rivers and attached water bodies to grow, when they are sexually mature, they go to the rivers to spawn, after spawning, most of the individuals enter the lakes along the rivers to feed and fatten, the water level of the lakes falls in winter, they return to the deep water areas of the rivers for wintering, and the warm spring of the next year is to reproduce.

Bighead carp is a warm-water fish, suitable for growing water temperature of 25 30, can adapt to a more fertile water environment. Docile temperament and slow to act. From the fry to the adult stage, it feeds on zooplankton and phytoplankton, and is a typical plankton-eating fish.

Under artificial feeding conditions, artificial feeds such as soybean cake, rice bran, and distiller's grains are also eaten, as well as the manure of livestock. Feeding intensity varies with the season. The feeding intensity is higher in April and October every year.

Bighead carp is also called fat staring good head fish, big head fish.

Living in the middle and pelagic layers of the main stream of rivers, gentle bays, lakes and reservoirs, juvenile fish and immature individuals generally grow in lakes and attached water bodies along the river, and are warm water fish, the water temperature suitable for growth is 25 30, and can adapt to the more fertile water environment. Docile temperament and slow to act.

From the fry to the adult stage, it feeds on zooplankton and phytoplankton, which is a typical plankton-eating fish. Native to China. It is widely distributed in China, from Hainan Island in the south to the Heilongjiang River basin in the north, and is distributed in all rivers, lakes and reservoirs in eastern China, but the number of water bodies in the north of the Yellow River is small, and the northeast and western regions are all artificially migrated aquaculture species.

Bighead carp farming technology:

In Shanghai, China, the secondary cultivation method is generally adopted, that is, the fry are cultivated for 15 to 20 days to grow into millimeter or 30 mm summer flowers, and then from the summer flowers to fish fingerlings (the cultivation method is the same as that of herring).

Seedling stage monoculture, secondary cultivation in principle also need to carry out monoculture, because silver carp action is agile, strong competition for food, and bighead carp is slow to act, weak competition for food, such as silver carp, bighead carp polyculture, bighead carp may not get enough food and poor growth, if you want to polyculture, you can only use a small amount of bighead carp in the pond dominated by silver carp (generally below 20).

In ponds dominated by bighead carp, it is not possible to breed silver carp in a polyculture, even if a small amount of silver carp is raised, it may have a negative effect on the growth of bighead carp. In recent years, Jiangsu has tried the first-class cultivation method, such as Suzhou aquaculture farm, stocking 10,000 fish per mu, and raising about 1,000 fine-scaled oblique-jawed mackerel or herring fry, and the size of the winter slice fingerlings out of the pond is 165 98 mm.
