CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Does silver carp have fish roe? Why?

1. Does silver carp have fish roe? Why?

Silver carp has fish roe.

Because silver carp is a typical filter-feeding fish and an oviparous animal, silver carp grows fast and has a high yield. For example, the sexual maturity age of silver carp is 1-2 years earlier than that of grass carp.

Mature individuals are also relatively small, and female fish weighing more than 3 kg can reach maturity. Female fish weighing about 5 kg can carry about 40,000 to 50,000 eggs per kg of body weight. They lay eggs in April and May every year, and the absolute egg carrying capacity is 200,000 to 250,000 eggs. The eggs are buoyant. The spawning period is similar to that of grass carp.

Silver carp is flattened and slightly tall, with a spindle-shaped body. Its back is blue-gray, and its sides and belly are white. Its pectoral fins do not exceed the base of its pelvic fins. All fins are grayish white. Its head is relatively large. Its eyes are located very low. Its scales are small. The horny ridge in the middle of its abdomen extends from the bottom of its pectoral fins to its anus. Its appearance is similar to that of bighead carp, but it is impatient and good at jumping.

Silver carp is sweet, mild, non-toxic, tender and nutritious. It is one of the best fish species suitable for breeding. It is one of the main freshwater farmed fish in my country. It is distributed in major water systems across the country. Silver carp is a large freshwater fish bred artificially. It grows fast, has few diseases and high yield. It is often mixed with grass carp and carp.

Taboos for eating silver carp:

1. It is not advisable to eat too much silver carp meat, as it will make you thirsty.

2. Silver carp can increase inflammation, so it is not suitable for patients with hyperthyroidism.

3. Silver carp should not be eaten with licorice as it can easily cause diarrhea.

4. The gallbladder of silver carp is poisonous and should not be eaten. When handling silver carp, make sure to cleanly discard the gallbladder.

Silver carp also has fish roe. If there were no fish roe, there would be no small fish.

Silver carp reach sexual maturity at the age of 3 years or above. However, the commercial fish on the market are only one year old. At this time, the silver carp's ovaries have not yet fully developed into eggs, so you can't see roe. Many people think that silver carp is a fish without roe, but this understanding is wrong. Silver carp also has roe.

2. Which one is more nutritious, silver carp or bighead carp?

Which one is more nutritious, silver carp or bighead carp?

The nutritional value of the two is as follows:

Silver carp is a high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol fish. Every 100 grams of bighead carp contains 15.3 grams of protein and 0.9 grams of fat. In addition, silver carp also contains nutrients such as vitamin B2, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Silver carp has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. It is rich in phospholipids and posterior pituitary hormone, which improves memory, especially in the brain bone marrow. Regular consumption can warm the stomach, eliminate dizziness, improve IQ, help memory, delay aging, and moisturize the skin.

The nutritional composition of silver carp muscle varies with body length and season, and its range is: water accounts for 60.3-80.9%, protein 15.3-18.6%, fat 2.0-20.8%, ash 1.0-1.4%, nitrogen-free extract 0.2-1.7%. The biochemical composition of fish muscle also changes with the growth and development of the fish. When the water content gradually decreases, the protein and fat gradually increase. Among them, silver carp muscle fat contains 20 kinds of fatty acids, including 4 saturated fatty acids, 3 monoenoic acids, 3 dienoic acids, 9 trienoic acids and 1 tetraenoic acid. The carbon chain length is between 12-20, the saturated fatty acid content is low, the saturated fatty acid content increases with the growth of the fish, and the unsaturated fatty acid content decreases with the growth of the fish. In addition to protein and fat, it also contains 0.8 grams of sugar, 117-123 calories, 22-31 mg of calcium, 86-167 mg of phosphorus, 1.2-13.3 mg of iron, 0.04 mg of thiamine, 0.21 mg of riboflavin and 2.1 mg of niacin. It is edible and rich in nutrients.

Regarding the difference between silver carp and bighead carp, I actually think that the difference in taste is also very important. Most people think that bighead carp is tastier than silver carp. Silver carp has delicate meat and rich gelatin, while silver carp has slightly loose meat, light taste, and sometimes earthy smell. Its taste is not as good as bighead carp. More people like to eat silver carp, so the price of silver carp is often higher. In the market, silver carp is often seen being divided and sold, and the prices of fish, fish heads, and fish tails are different. Of course, the price of fish heads is the most expensive among them. Many people buy silver carp heads to make fish head soup, chopped pepper fish heads, and fish head hot pot. It is not difficult to see that silver carp tastes good.
