CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What fish is the natural enemy of snakehead fish?

The most feared thing in a fish pond is the black fish. If a few black fish are lost, the fish in the pond will be wasted! Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but the appearance of black fish will definitely affect the fish harvest! The ferocity of the black fish can be called the king of freshwater fish. It is not inferior to piranhas in a one-on-one fight. So does it have any natural enemies in nature?

Why is the snakehead fish, known as the king of freshwater fish, so fierce? In fact, the snakehead fish is a fish that tastes quite good. Generally, the snakehead fish is the king of pickled fish, followed by bighead carp and silver carp. The snakehead fish has few bones, tender meat, and delicious taste. Besides the head, it is mostly meat, with only one bone in the middle, so adults and children like to eat snakehead fish. Of course, the price is slightly more expensive than silver carp!

In the countryside, it is generally called black snakehead fish because it is black in color. It is also called snakehead fish because the scales on its head look a bit like the scales on a snake's head! Snakehead fish is widely distributed, including China, India, Southeast Asia, Russia's Far East, North Korea, Japan, etc.

Snakehead carp is a carnivorous fish with a very large appetite and a wide range of food sources, including not only the larvae of insects in the water, but also beetles, crayfish or other shrimps, amphibians such as frogs, and various miscellaneous fish and economic fish. Moreover, it can eat prey that is half its own size, making it almost invincible in freshwater!

Snakehead fish have a strong reproductive capacity, but they are not rampant because they will prey on their own young. They will not recognize any relatives except the one in front of them! Snakehead fish are not small in size, generally up to 0.4-0.7 meters, and some are even over 0.8 meters. The current world record is a 1.5-meter snakehead fish in Russia, weighing more than 7 kilograms!

Snakehead fish has very low requirements for environmental capacity. According to breeding data, the breeding density of snakehead fish can be very high. It has very low requirements for dissolved oxygen in the water and can be bred at a high density. One acre of fish pond can be stocked with 1,000 fish. Basically, it can be densely packed, which will make people with trypophobia tingle! These advantages make it the top predator among freshwater fish!

Does the snakehead have any natural enemies? If they are not afraid of piranhas, what other fish should they be afraid of? A while ago, a video of a snakehead being put in a piranha tank went viral, and a variety of videos of snakeheads and piranhas fighting each other appeared on short video platforms. Basically, a snakehead is powerless against dozens of piranhas, and will be eaten to a skeleton in less than ten minutes!

But in a one-on-one duel, the snakehead fish did not lose, but was evenly matched. Of course, the snakehead fish is not afraid of piranhas! After all, no matter what kind of animal, it has no chance of winning against a large group of piranhas. It is not shameful for the snakehead fish to be eaten to a skeleton in a fish tank with dozens of piranhas!

Does snakehead fish have any natural enemies?

In fact, the biggest enemy of black carp is itself. Because of its ruthless nature, it even eats its own fry. What do you think of this? So it is easy to get into trouble if you can't control your mouth. Fortunately, black carp produces a huge amount of roe, up to tens of thousands of roe at a time, but most of these roe are eaten by themselves after hatching!

However, with such a large number of fish, if dozens of them survive, a fish pond will sooner or later be occupied by them. Therefore, many fish ponds will be cleaned before raising fish. What to do? Just throw a few male fish in, raise them for a while, and all the messy things in them will disappear. Finally, put a few in, catch a few back, and the pond is cleaned, and then other fish are released!

Is Taimen the natural enemy of snakehead fish?

Some people think that the Taimen salmon is the natural enemy of the black carp. This fish is a ferocious cold-water carnivorous fish, several meters long and weighing hundreds of kilograms. It is indeed a bit like the natural enemy of the black carp. However, most of the Taimen salmon have become extinct, and only a small number of them survive in Kanas Lake in Xinjiang. So it cannot even be considered a natural enemy. If this can be counted, then many rare carnivorous fish in the Yangtze River are also extinct, so this does not count!

Maybe he is the natural enemy of all animals.

Some friends also think that humans are the natural enemy of snakehead fish. To be more precise, humans are the natural enemy of all wild animals! But at the same time, humans are also the guardians of most wild animals. After all, ensuring the healthy development of biodiversity for the ecology, the protection of the environment, and the future survival and continuation of mankind is a very good research topic. At least until now, humans have discovered that maintaining biological diversity is very important, so we must avoid becoming the natural enemy of a certain animal, otherwise the extinction of that animal will not be far away!

How about these "black fish"? They look pretty!

In our hometown, there are many rivers and abundant water resources, so there are a lot of black carps. When someone was cleaning the fish pond, they found a black carp weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms, with a head as big as a bowl!

However, here, the old people call black carp "filial fish". The reason is incredible. That is, the female black carp will become blind for a period of time after laying eggs and cannot see anything. Therefore, the female black carp cannot find food at this time. After all, black carp is carnivorous and needs to catch other fish to eat. It is at a disadvantage if it cannot see. Therefore, at this time, many black carp seedlings will drill into the mouth of the female black carp and become food to repay their mother.

Snakehead carp has a very strong reproductive capacity, and hundreds of snakehead carp can be hatched from one spawning. However, in reality, there are very few snakehead carp in a pond, partly because the snakehead carp fry are eaten by their mothers. Since snakehead carp are destined to be eaten by their mothers nine out of ten times since birth, they are also very ferocious, and those who can survive are the strongest. Small snakehead carp usually move around the pond, eating small shrimps and other creatures, and will also be eaten by other large snakehead carp and whitefish.

When the snakehead grows up, it will live in the middle and deep part of the pond. At this time, the snakehead will start to kill all around, even catfish can't escape death. The most amazing thing is that adult snakehead will also catch snakehead seedlings to eat, so although the snakehead has a strong reproductive capacity, the pressure of survival competition is very high, and it is a rare chance to survive. The biggest natural enemies of the seedlings are their own mothers, adult snakeheads, catfish and other fish. Adult snakeheads mainly die at the hands of other snakeheads and people.

The underwater food chain is connected layer by layer, which is real and cruel.

Snakehead fish are at the top of the pyramid in the entire aquatic food chain, but that is limited to large snakehead fish. Small snakehead fish do not have any effective means of defense at the beginning. When encountering other carnivorous fish, they can only turn around and run away. If they cannot escape, they will become food for other fish.

In addition to those carnivorous big fish, there are many other animals in the water that pose a great threat to the small black fish. For example, mice, frogs, snakes, water birds, etc., they will regard the small black fish that have lost the protection of their parents as delicious meals.

In addition, snakehead carp also faces another threat during its growth process - food shortage.

If there are too many carnivorous fish in the same water body, a situation will be formed in the later stage: there will not be enough small fish to eat.

Without food, the entire food chain will collapse. Without skin, where will the hair be attached? The only thing waiting for the snakehead is death.

Snakehead fish is a freshwater fish, and it has no natural enemies in freshwater. The natural enemies of snakehead fish are two-legged animals on land - humans! Because people (especially Cantonese people) believe that eating snakehead fish is very "tonifying", if you have been injured or hospitalized for surgery, eating snakehead fish can quickly regenerate muscles and heal the wound, so snakehead fish is also called raw fish. As a result, snakehead fish are overfished and killed, and there are fewer and fewer wild snakehead fish in nature.

Taimen grows fast and develops at an equal speed. It is a large economic fish. Generally, individuals weigh more than 3 kg, and the largest can reach 50 kg and be more than 1 meter long. The meat is delicious and tender. It is a nutritious fish and a specialty of high-altitude areas. It is a precious food in the production area.

The water tiger fish is distributed in most areas except the northwest and southwest of China, and its main distribution area is in various rivers. It mainly lives in the middle and upper layers of the rivers. It swims very fast and moves very agilely. Its main food is also various freshwater fish, including the extremely ferocious black carp.

Giant Taimen is a rare cold-water carnivorous fish in the north, several meters long and weighing hundreds of kilograms. It is ferocious and alert by nature, hiding in deep water all year round. Its body is reddish-brown during the breeding season, and it is known as the big red fish. It is now extinct in most parts of the world, with only a small number of remnants remaining in Kanas Lake in Xinjiang.

Look at the individual snakeheads. Newly hatched snakeheads, or small snakehead fry, are generally protected by their parents. If both parents are alive, the survival rate is relatively high, and there are no so-called natural enemies. Of course, it is possible that they are occasionally seen by birds in the sky and pecked a few times. If there is no protection from their parents, it is generally believed that they are dead. When the snakeheads grow up, in nature, fish of similar size basically have no natural enemies. If there is a real competition, I think the only one is fish.

Fish is known as the king of freshwater fish. Fish of the same size may not be the opponent of snakehead fish of the same size! If a small snakehead fish is attacked by a big fish, it basically has no chance of survival! Fish is a species that takes the initiative to attack! Snakehead fish is just an ambush!

Snakehead fish are cannibalistic fish. They have a strong sense of territory, and adult snakehead fish will ambush all kinds of fish passing through their territory! So small snakehead fish that mistakenly enter their territory are a bit worrying!
