CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many species of pomfret are there? Is it freshwater or saltwater?

There are several varieties of pomfret. Is it a freshwater fish or a saltwater fish?

Common varieties of pomfret include yellowfin pomfret, silver pomfret, golden pomfret, Chinese pomfret, red pomfret, spotted cage pomfret, snowflake pomfret, striped cage pomfret, knife pomfret, black pomfret, gray pomfret, thorny pomfret, etc. Pomfret is about 20cm long, short and tall, with a laterally flattened body in a diamond shape and a silvery white body color. The head is small, the snout is short and blunt, and slightly protrudes in front of the lower jaw. The scales are round and easy to fall off. The dorsal fin and anal fin are the same shape, the fin spines are truncated, the front end of the fin rays are all raised in a sickle shape, the pectoral fins are large, there are no pelvic fins, and the caudal fin is deeply forked.

1. How many varieties of pomfret are there?

1. Common varieties of pomfret

The common varieties of pomfret include silver pomfret, golden pomfret, Chinese pomfret (dou pomfret), red pomfret (referring to freshwater white pomfret), knife pomfret, black pomfret, gray pomfret, spiny pomfret, spotted cage pomfret, snowflake pomfret, striped cage pomfret, and yellowfin pomfret.

2. Characteristics of Pomfret

(1) Overall characteristics: The body length of pomfret is about 20 cm, short and tall, extremely laterally flattened, diamond-shaped, and mostly silvery white in color with a slightly bluish-gray upper part.

(2) Head and mouth: The head is relatively small, with a short and blunt snout that protrudes slightly in front of the lower jaw. The mouth is small, slightly slanted, and the teeth are thin.

(3) Eyes: The eyes are small, sideways, and the space between the eyes is a large arc-shaped bulge.

(4) Nose: The nose is small, with two nostrils on each side. The anterior nostril is round and the posterior nostril is slit-shaped.

(5) Jaw: From the maxilla to the bottom of the front edge of the eye, each jaw has a row of fine teeth, which are arranged very closely.

(6) Gills: The gill openings are small, the gill rakers are short and weak, and are arranged sparsely.

(7) Scales: The scales are round, small, and easy to fall off. Most of the scales have tiny black spots. The lateral line scales are 110-130, and the lateral line is relatively high, almost parallel to the dorsal margin.

(8) Fins: The dorsal and anal fins are of the same shape, the fin spines are truncated, the front ends of the fin rays are raised and sickle-shaped. The pectoral fins are large, there are no pelvic fins, and the caudal fin is deeply forked.

2. Is pomfret a freshwater fish or a saltwater fish?

1. There are many varieties of pomfret, most of which live in the sea, and a small number of them live in fresh water.

2. Silver pomfret is a warm-temperate mid- and lower-layer fish that lives in the nearshore area. It usually lives in waters with slow currents and a depth of 5-10m. It moves in the mid- and upper layers in the morning and evening.

3. Golden pomfret is a warm-water pelagic fish that mainly inhabits the tropical, subtropical and temperate seas of the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. In spring and summer, it swims from the open sea to the shallow waters near the coast, and in winter, it swims back to the deep waters of the open sea.

4. Chinese pomfret is a nearshore warm-water mid- and lower-layer fish, mainly distributed in the waters from the northern coast of the Indian Ocean to Japan, as well as the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, and the southern East China Sea. It lives in muddy bottom waters.

5. Red pomfret is a tropical and subtropical fish native to the Amazon River in South America. It has now been promoted to freshwater fish ponds for breeding.

6. The knife pomfret mainly lives in deeper waters. Sometimes it swims to the waters along the shore to find food. It can even be found near the river mouth.

7. Black pomfret is a tropical and subtropical pelagic fish, mainly distributed in the waters from the northern coast of the Indian Ocean to North Korea, Japan and China. It likes to live in clear waters.

8. Gray pomfret is a near-shore migratory warm-temperate pelagic fish, mainly distributed in the coastal areas of my country, Japan and Southeast Asia. It usually lives in sea areas with slow water flow. In winter, it hibernates in the arc trenches in the southern Yellow Sea and the East China Sea (water depth does not exceed 130m).

9. Spiny Pomfret lives among subtropical marine fish, living in surface water as juveniles and at the bottom as adults.

10. Yellowfin pomfret is a native marine fish in my country. It is mainly distributed in Southeast Asia and the coastal areas of Guangzhou, my country. It lives in brackish water and seawater, and can occasionally enter fresh water.

Is pomfret a marine fish or a freshwater fish? Can it live in fresh water?

There are many varieties of pomfret. Most varieties of pomfret live in the sea, such as "silver pomfret", which lives in the sea. They are marine fish, mainly distributed in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. There are also a few varieties of pomfret that live in freshwater. For example, "freshwater white pomfret" is a pomfret that lives in freshwater and is a freshwater fish. This variety of pomfret can be artificially raised for breeding and reproduction. 1. Is pomfret a marine fish or a freshwater fish? Pomfret is a relatively common and widely distributed fish. The distribution of fish can be carried out from many aspects, such as they can be classified according to their living environment. Those living in the ocean are marine fish, and those living in freshwater are freshwater fish. Marine fish and freshwater fish are very different, and their habits, characteristics and body structures are different.

When classifying pomfret, we cannot simply divide them into one type, because pomfret itself does not only include one species. The differences between these different species are quite obvious. One important difference is that their living environment is different. Most species of pomfret live in the ocean, such as the "silver pomfret". In fact, they are widely distributed, and pomfret can be found in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. However, not all pomfret species are marine fish, such as the "freshwater white pomfret", which can live in fresh water and can be artificially cultivated and bred.

Can silver pomfret live in fresh water? As mentioned above, different species of silver pomfret have different living environments, and whether they can live in fresh water needs to be discussed on a case-by-case basis. If they are species that originally live in fresh water, that is, the "freshwater silver pomfret" species, they can certainly survive in fresh water and can be raised artificially. However, most silver pomfret are considered marine fish and can only live in seawater. They have adapted to the high pressure and high salinity environment in seawater. If they are suddenly allowed to live in fresh water, they may not be able to survive, which will shorten their lifespan and even directly lead to their death.
