3. What are the freshwater fish?

The major freshwater fish species in my country include seven species: black carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, carp, crucian carp and bighead carp.

(1) Black carp, also known as snail black carp, black carp and black carp, is a bottom fish. It mainly lives in deep water sections of rivers and likes to move in the lower layer of water and areas with fast currents. It likes to eat mollusks such as yellow clams, lake clams and snails. Juvenile fish under 10 cm feed on cladocerans, rotifers and aquatic insects; individuals over 15 cm begin to eat young and thin-shelled clams and snails. It hibernates in deep pools in winter and swims to rapids in spring to lay eggs.

(2) Grass carp, also known as grass carp, mixed fish and grass carp, is a typical herbivorous fish. It has thick meat, few bones and delicious taste. Every 100 grams of grass carp meat contains 17.9 grams of protein, 4.3 grams of fat and a variety of vitamins. Its meat is white and tender, with good toughness and high meat yield. Grass carp generally likes to live in the middle and lower layers of rivers, lakes and other water bodies and near-shore areas with abundant aquatic plants. It has the habit of migrating between rivers and lakes. Sexually mature individuals spawn in rivers and streams. After spawning, the parents and young fish enter tributaries and lakes connected to rivers. They usually feed and fatten in flooded shallow grasslands and flooded areas as well as in the water bodies attached to the main and tributary rivers. In winter, they hibernate in the deep water of the main stream or lake. Grass carp is lively and swims quickly. It often forages in groups and is voracious.

It likes to live in the middle and lower layers of open water areas in lakes with submerged plants. It is mild and herbivorous, so it is called "grass bream". Juveniles mainly feed on zooplankton, while adults mainly feed on aquatic plants. Chinese bream grows quickly. Juveniles of 100 to 135 mm can grow to about 0.5 kg after one year of breeding, and can reach a maximum weight of 3.5 to 4.0 kg. Chinese bream is considered to be an excellent breeding target because it grows quickly, has strong disease resistance, high survival rate, large size, and can grow and reproduce in still water.
