The habits of crucian carp, 5 special habits of crucian carp

Crucian carp is one of the most widely distributed fish species in China's freshwater waters, with strong fecundity, wide adaptability, low temperature resistance, and can be fished in all seasons. Crucian carp has the following habits:

First, omnivorous habits. Crucian carp in natural waters feed on small fish, shrimp, snails, algae, aquatic weeds, etc. So it eats both plant-based and animal-based baits.

That's why we can catch them with both pure grain commercial bait or homemade bait, as well as animal-based bait earthworms or bloodworms.

Second, they like to live in groups. In spring, we often see schools of crucian carp floating on the surface of the water to bask in the sun; Or in summer and autumn, when the water body is hypoxic, a group of crucian carp floats on the surface of the water and opens its mouth to absorb oxygen. A few less, a few more.

A group of 10 or a few hundred. And they all have one thing in common: that is, in a group of crucian carp, they are all about the same size, and they have been carefully screened.

The big ones are a group, the small ones are a group, and they don't blend together. This characteristic of them is the reason why we catch one and another when we are fishing.

Third, crucian carp has a grass-loving habit. Crucian carp are timid by nature and are social fish, so they have a high demand for food. A large area of water with abundant aquatic plants is often a place where crucian carp inhabit and feed.

Because of the abundance of bait in the aquatic grasses, it not only provides them with food**, but also allows them to hide from predators. Therefore, when fishing for crucian carp in the wild, you can often catch many crucian carp in places with many aquatic plants. In winter, the aquatic weeds in the depths of the small water, and the aquatic weeds near the shore of the lake, are all places where crucian carp hide and feed.

In winter, crucian carp fishing in grass holes and grass crevices has become a classic of crucian carp fishing.

Fourth, crucian carp has a tendency to tend. Although crucian carp are highly adaptable, like most fish, they have an optimal range of adaptation to water temperature, i.e., warming habits. The specific performance is:

In summer and autumn, when the water temperature is high during the day, crucian carp inhabit deep water with low temperatures, or in shady waters. In the morning and evening, when the water temperature in the shallow water drops to a suitable temperature, the deep water area swims to the shallow water to feed. In winter and early spring, when the shallow water temperature is low, crucian carp tend to warm deep water and lurk at the bottom of the water to eat less and move less.

Only around noon when the temperature rises on a sunny day, crucian carp swim from deep water to shallower areas with food to feed. According to the warming characteristics of crucian carp, we can fish for crucian carp in shallows with grass in spring, morning and evening fishing in summer, and deep water in winter.

Fifth, crucian carp has the habit of eating at low temperatures. In winter, when the water temperature drops to a certain range, many fish species go into hibernation. But crucian carp do not have this hibernation trait.

In large waters, as long as the temperature is around 15 degrees Celsius, crucian carp can still be caught in deep water, and the catch is often good. In winter, in some small rivers and ditches, due to the extreme lack of food in the waters, even if the temperature is around 5 degrees, crucian carp will still open their mouths to eat. Therefore, crucian carp makes the winter not lonely for anglers.

Conclusion: Crucian carp in different regions and different waters may show different habits due to different environments for survival and feeding. As anglers, we have to observe it and master it.

<> "The egret flies by the white pond, and the crucian carp is fat under the Longchuan Mountain." Crucian carp is one of the most common freshwater fish, commonly known as crucian carp melon seeds, although crucian carp is very ordinary, does not belong to high-grade freshwater fish, easy to catch and catch, but the nutritional value of crucian carp is very high, delicious and rich in nutrients, can replenish qi and nourish blood.

Every year after the beginning of autumn, crucian carp becomes fatter and fatter, and it is very delicious after cooking. Therefore, crucian carp fishing in autumn is a very good fishing option. If you want to catch crucian carp well, you need to understand the living habits of crucian carp, crucian carp has 5 special habits, let's explain it in detail.

1. Prefer temperature and fear heat.

Many anglers think that crucian carp is better when the weather is hotter, but this is not the case. The favorite water temperature for crucian carp is 20, when crucian carp are most active. When the water temperature is higher than 25, crucian carp will eat less and hide in deep water or shade to escape the heat.

The best weather for crucian carp fishing is when the maximum temperature is around 25 during the day.

2. Quiet and timid.

The vigilance of wild crucian carp is relatively high, and the courage is very small, and it will flee at the slightest disturbance. Crucian carp is very cautious when eating bait, and will repeatedly suck the bait into its mouth and spit it out immediately, repeating many times.

Therefore, when fishing for crucian carp, you need to be decisive to see the drift and catch the mouth, and the reaction should be fast, and the rod should be lifted immediately if there is a big mouth, and if the catch is not timely, the crucian carp will spit out the hook.

3. I like living water very much.

The ideal location for crucian carp fishing is in an area with live water, whether it is an inlet or an outlet, there is a constant infusion of live water, mixed with a large amount of food, and the dissolved oxygen content in the water is higher than in other waters.

The water temperature is also lower than in other waters, which creates the most suitable living environment for crucian carp, so crucian carp are very fond of moving and foraging in the living water area.

4. Prefer to forage in clusters.

When fishing for crucian carp, as long as there are crucian carp in the nest, it is generally more than a few crucian carp, because crucian carp like to feed in groups, in groups of three or five, or more than a dozen crucian carp move together.

When fishing for crucian carp, when the fish floats and there is an action, don't rush to catch the mouth, the fish in the nest will gather more and more, and after a lot of fish gather in the nest, the fish will grab food together, and the fish mouth will become very good.

Five, with spikes, feeding habits are switched between fishy and vegetarian.

Do crucian carp like fishy food or vegetarian food? This has always been a favorite topic of discussion among anglers. In fact, crucian carp often switch between fishy and vegetarian diets.

Small crucian carp like to eat fishy, and large crucian carp like vegetarian; Likes to eat fishy when it's cold; Likes to be a vegetarian when it's hot. If you use vegetarian bait to fish for crucian carp, you should focus on the fragrance; If you use fishy bait to catch crucian carp, the fragrance should be lighter to highlight the fishy smell.

In spring and winter crucian carp fishing, the bait is mainly fishy and fragrant, and in summer and autumn crucian carp fishing, the bait is mainly fragrant and fishy, and a small amount of futulip fruit acid, futulip dopa salt and fish alpha can be added to the bait of wild crucian carp, and the attractant effect is super good. If you fish for crucian carp in the black pit, you can add a small medicine to the bait, with an odor transmitter, and the effect of attracting fish is outstanding.

The characteristics of crucian carp are as follows:

1. Adapt to hypoxia.

The crucian carp has a strong ability to adapt to low oxygen, and the amount of dissolved oxygen can grow normally if the amount of dissolved oxygen is more than 2 milliliters, and the oxygen threshold for suffocation is milliliters as low as 1 milliliters.

2. Eating miscellaneous.

Crucian carp is an omnivorous fish with a wide range of diets. Although its food composition varies slightly depending on the region and season, it mainly eats rotifers, cladoperas, and groomed animals in zooplankton, and also eats midges larvae, small shrimp, small molluscs, algae, plant detritus, young shoots or young leaves of aquatic higher plants, and humus in silt. Under the conditions of artificial breeding, a variety of commercial feed (soybean cake, lai seed cake, peanut cake, cottonseed cake, bran, corn flour, rice bran, bean dregs, dregs, etc.) and various livestock and poultry manure.

3. Growth characteristics.

Although the crucian carp is vigorous, omnivorous and tender and delicious, it reaches sexual maturity prematurely (females are generally 6-8 cm and weigh 8-10 grams, and about 82% of individuals reach sexual maturity; Males generally begin to mature sexually at 5-6 cm and weigh 6-8 grams, and when they are above 8 cm, about 99% of individuals reach sexual maturity), which consumes a large amount of nutrients for gonadal development, which seriously affects its growth.

The average weight of the 1-year-old fish is 45 grams, the 2-year-old fish is 96 grams, the 3-year-old fish is 185 grams, the 4-year-old fish is 327 grams, the 5-year-old fish is about 582 grams, the 6-year-old fish weighs 681 grams, and the 7-year-old fish weighs 803 grams. In China's Yangtze River Basin, the growth of crucian carp in captivity was only about 100 grams, and the growth of 2-year-old crucian carp was only about 200-800 grams.

The habitat of crucian carp

Crucian carp is found almost all over the main belt of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, mountain ponds, outflows, ditches, swamps and large and small water bodies with aquatic weeds. Crucian carp is one of the typical demersal fish, very adaptable, able to survive in water with a pH of 4 or 9, and even in mineral-containing springs, sewage, and industrial and mining wastewater. In addition, it can tolerate severe cold (e.g. -10 to -15) and has a strong tolerance in hot climates and low-oxygen environments.

Crucian carp (carassius auratus), belongs to the order Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae, Cyprinidae, Crucian carp. Commonly known as: Xitou, crucian carp (Hubei), crucian carp melon seeds (Northeast), river crucian carp (Shanghai), moon crucian carp (Guangdong); In ancient times, it was called the carp, the carp, and the cold carp.

The gonads of crucian carp mature earlier than other fish, and the fish can spawn the next year, growing as they spawn. Annual crucian carp can spawn.

Moreover, the spawning period is long, which lasts from spring to autumn, and the number of eggs is large, and the eggs are laid on aquatic plants or other objects in shallow waters. The strong reproductive ability of crucian carp is an important reason for its wide distribution and large number. Another point is that crucian carp feed during spawning, which is different from other fish.

The growth rate of bait fish is slow, and the fish grow to about 100 grams in that year. Because of this, the vast majority of crucian carp are wild and rarely stocked.
