The spring flood season is from April to June, the autumn flood season is from July to October, and the peak season is from May to June.

2. Black carp: Black carp is mainly distributed in the plains south of the Yangtze River in my country and is relatively rare in the north of the Yangtze River. It is an important fishery resource in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the lakes along the river, and the main breeding object in various lakes and ponds. It is one of the "four major carps" in my country's freshwater aquaculture.

The difference between Spanish mackerel and black carp

1. Spanish mackerel: Spanish mackerel has delicate meat, delicious taste and rich nutrition. It can replenish qi and relieve cough. It has certain effect on weak cough and asthma. It also has therapeutic functions such as refreshing and anti-aging. Regular consumption can have certain auxiliary effect on the treatment of anemia, premature aging, malnutrition, postpartum weakness and neurasthenia.

2. Black carp: Black carp is a kind of food rich in protein and low in fat. It is rich in nucleic acid, which can delay aging. The nutrition is easily absorbed by the human body and can be used for diet therapy. It is rich in trace elements such as selenium and iodine, so it has anti-aging and anti-cancer effects. It also contains eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which have the effects of dilating blood vessels and preventing blood coagulation. It is extremely important for the growth and development of brain cells, especially brain nerve conduction and synapses.

Based on my personal experience of buying fish

The skin of Spanish mackerel is gray and scaleless, with a soft transition between the back and belly, and large dark gray-blue spots on the body.

The color transition between the back and belly of the black carp is very obvious, and the back is blue.
