The citizens caught the mini doll fish? Police: poison, let go.

On July 4, the water level in Yibin rose after the heavy rain, bringing cool weather to the citizens as well as the pleasure of treading on the water. A citizen caught a brown-and-brown four-legged animal in a stream ditch near Yibin city. Because he was suspected to be a "baby fish", the citizen called the police for help. Identified by the forest police and fisheries law enforcement officers in Cuiping District, the quadruped is an exotic poisonous aquatic salamander, not a "baby fish", and members of the public should not catch it easily.

According to Liu Xiaohuan, director of the Fisheries Management Station of the Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau of Cuiping District, at about 11:30, I received a phone call from the Jiangbei Police Station of the Forest Public Security Bureau of Cuiping District, saying that a citizen had caught a small "baby fish." Liu Xiaohuan and other law enforcement officers rushed to the police station and found that the creatures packed by citizens in transparent plastic bottles did not look like "baby fish." The creature was identified as an alien species-salamander by experienced fishery administrative staff at the scene. "salamanders are poisonous and cannot be taken directly by hand." Liu Xiaohuan said.

The salamander is a short, four-legged, moist-skinned amphibian with a tail similar to that of a lizard, with four legs and moist skin. It is similar to a lizard but has no scales. They are also good ornamental animals, some of which are kept as pets.

Salamanders are very shy animals. They usually hide in wet places or under water. They have smooth and sticky skin, long tails and round heads. Many of them live in water all their lives, while others live entirely on land, and even in damp, dark caves. Most salamanders, whether living on land or in water, breed in water.

A series of juvenile developmental processes experienced by salamanders are called metamorphosis. Terrestrial salamanders lay eggs on land, and larval development occurs in the eggs. When the cubs hatch, they look like miniature versions of adulthood. Aquatic salamanders lay eggs in water and hatch into tadpole-like larvae. Eventually they lose their gills. Some salamanders do not lay eggs and can give birth to fully formed young.

Most salamanders are bright and beautiful, but they are poisonous, so they use this bright color to warn the offender, so those eager predators will stay away. When the snake attacks the salamander, the salamander's tail secretes a glue-like substance, which they use to beat the snake's head mercilessly until the snake's mouth is stuck by the secretion. Sometimes, there will be a scene in which a long snake is stuck together by salamander mucus and cannot move.

The salamander's tiny glands also contain a deadly bacterium that can be used to produce a toxin called tetrodotoxin. When the salamander is attacked, it immediately secretes this deadly neurotoxin, making it impossible for the opponent to eat and walk around.

However, there is no salamander distribution in the natural waters of Yibin, which is suspected to be an alien species.

"although salamanders look mild, they are actually harmful to the ecological environment." Lu Guangming, Jiangbei Police Station of the Forest Public Security Bureau of Cuiping District, said that when salamanders enter a big river, they will nibble on small fish fry, and at the same time they are poisonous, which will endanger human health. "it is an aquatic life, but it cannot be released into the Yangtze River like a 'baby fish'." Lu Guangming told reporters that this year, the Yibin section of the Yangtze River has only multiplied and released more than 200,000 rare fish unique to the Yangtze River, including fish fry, and there will be endless trouble for these alien creatures to enter the Yangtze River.

Mr. Hu, a volunteer for protecting fish in Yibin, told reporters that in recent years, alien species such as crocodile tortoise, sparrow eel and cannibal Pomfret that have frequently appeared in the Yangtze River are bought by many citizens as pets. "it was troublesome to raise them, and they had feelings that they didn't want to kill them, so they threw them into the Yangtze River regardless of the consequences." Mr. Hu said that if citizens do not consciously respect themselves, it will be difficult to put an end to this situation by relying on law enforcement departments alone, and it is human beings themselves who will suffer in the end.
