It may be the strongest luya native fish!

Siniperca chuatsi is a kind of fish belonging to the genus Piniformes-Cyprinidae-Yarrowidae-Siniperca chuatsi, with a slender body and a slightly flat side and a cylindrical shape. The back of the body is gray-black, the abdomen is silvery white, the back and tail are dark gray with vinegar flavor, and the rest of the fins and cheeks are yellow. Its shape is similar to silver carp. The word Elopichthys means "fish like Elops" in English scientific name, and Bambusa means "belonging to bamboo", which means it comes from East Asia.

Forget it: yellow tip, copper head fish, yellow diamond and yellow cheek fish are called yellow cheek carp abroad. .

Keratinous process

The upper jaw of Siniperca chuatsi has formed a solid stratum corneum, the center of the tip of the lower jaw has a horny protrusion, and the corresponding position of the upper forehead has a notch, just like a pair of pliers can firmly grasp the prey.

harbourage

Distribution: Widely distributed in eastern Asia, between Russian amur river and the Red River Basin in northern Vietnam, and in the main rivers, lakes and reservoirs leading to rivers in China.

Survival water temperature: the second kind of fish belongs to wide-temperature fish, and the survival water temperature is 0~38C.

Habit: Siniperca chuatsi is a semi-migratory fish in the upper and middle layers. In autumn and winter, when the water temperature is low, it overwinters in the deep water of the main stream of rivers. In spring, when the water temperature rises, it enters the lower reaches of the river and the attached lakes and reservoirs, and the food is rich. In spring and summer, parent fish enter the upper reaches of the river to lay eggs and reproduce, and their eggs drift with the water to develop into seedlings. After the end of autumn, enter the deep water areas such as the main stream for wintering.

Predatory behavior

childhood

Catfish is a typical carnivorous fish, which preys in the same way as pouting and belongs to active pursuit type. The prey is mainly slender pelagic fish, and rarely preys on bottom fish.

Larvae of Siniperca chuatsi usually feed on rotifers, branchlets and burned feet. When the body length reaches 2 cm, they begin to prey on other fry. When the body length exceeds 5 cm, they mainly feed on other fish.

Feeding season: May-August, when most fish are breeding, and bait fish often gather in groups.

When the water temperature drops below 12C or rises above 30C, the feeding frequency of Siniperca chuatsi decreases obviously, and when the water temperature drops below 8C, it almost stops feeding.

When the temperature is low (winter) and spring (warming), the feeding frequency of Siniperca chuatsi suddenly increases, so the sudden increase in temperature is a good time to catch Siniperca chuatsi. Optimum temperature (autumn)-> When the temperature is low (winter), the feeding frequency gradually decreases.

Reproductive behavior

Breeding season: Under natural circumstances, it generally reaches its peak in April-August and May every year, and its breeding habits are similar to those of silver carp and bighead carp, producing floating eggs.

Hydrological conditions for females to promote hawksbill spawning usually have the following main characteristics:

Water temperature: Generally, the water temperature range of Siniperca chuatsi spawning is 16~30C, and the reproductive behavior is the highest at 20~27C;

Water level and flow velocity: With the increase of water level, the increase of flow velocity is an important factor to stimulate mature parent fish to lay eggs.

Spawning ground: Catfish in rivers mostly lay eggs in the section where the water is bubbling (upwelling), and complete the process of fertilization and water absorption and expansion with the help of upturned water. The spawning grounds of Siniperca chuatsi in reservoirs and lakes are distributed in the river catchment area upstream of the reservoir area. Whenever the flood is put into storage or just after the flood, a large number of breeding groups will swim back to the catchment at dawn or dusk to lay eggs.

The idea of fishing

Punctuation recommendation: backwater bay, intersection of rapid and slow flow, entrance of reservoir or lake, intersection of shoal and river, etc. There are more bait fish there.

Equipment recommendation

Fishing mandarin fish is often on the big water surface, so fishing rods generally choose to pay attention to long-range casting performance. It is recommended to adjust the fish quickly, with hardness above m and length above 2m. The fishing wheel should be a drip wheel suitable for long-distance throwing or a spinning wheel with a shallow thread cup of more than 2000, with large unloading force. The fishing line should be a high-pound fishing line. Mandarin fish bite the bait very hard. In order to prevent the fishing rod from being raised too late or being cut too hard or even broken, the brakes should be adjusted before fishing.

Recommended with bait

In oyster sauce, the upper-middle bait fish with slender body is often preferred as the prey target, so it is a good choice to choose a large strip bait and MINO with slender bait when catching catfish. In addition, surface baits such as pencils, long-range cast iron plates, Boba and Jiuqu dogs are also good choices for reed bud mandarin fish.

Siniperca chuatsi is fierce by nature and can prey on bait fish with a body length of 1/4~ 1/3, so a bigger bait may help you break the record.
