(Taiwan Business Daily News) it is time for dengue fever to break out again. Although there is no shortage of mosquito repellents on the market for consumers to choose from, returning to the root of the epidemic prevention and control, restraining the breeding of wrigglers is the key to cure the root of the disease. Douyu, commonly known as the "three-spotted betta" and "Taiwan Douyu" on the market, is a natural wiggler killer, feeding on mosquitoes, with an average daily intake of more than 300.

The New Taipei City Bureau of Agriculture has cultivated a total of 20,000 spotted betta fish this year. At present, nearly 5,000 have been provided to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, schools at all levels in New Taipei City, district offices, and other organizations to carry out the work of eliminating fish. People or organizations are also welcome to register and obtain them.

In the past, it could be seen in ponds and still waters in the western and Lanyang River basins, but at one time, due to habitat destruction and the introduction of powerful exotic species such as Thai bream and sea bass, the betta was on the verge of extinction. After more than a decade of rehabilitation work put into by the Agriculture Bureau of the New Northern City Government, the number of betta fish has rebounded steadily and has been removed from the "precious and rare conservation wildlife" since 98. In recent years, it is not difficult to see this group of Jiaoke in wild ponds.
