Abstract: what are the characteristics of wild crucian carp and how to distinguish between farmed and wild crucian carp?

When I was a child, there were many fish in the river next to the village, most of which were crucian carp. At that time, there were almost no farmed crucian carp, so there were wild crucian carp and farmed crucian carp. Crucian carp is a relatively active fish, which can be seen all the year round, and crucian carp is high in protein and rich in phospholipid, so it is a good product for daily nourishment, especially for postpartum women who are weak and need to be milked. The effect of drinking crucian carp soup is very obvious. It is the market prospect of crucian carp is good, now there are many farmed crucian carp, and the price difference between the two kinds of crucian carp is large, so how to tell whether crucian carp is wild or not?

Growth characteristics of wild crucian carp.

Wild crucian carp can be said to be one of the more active fish, will come out to look for food all the year round, there is almost no so-called dormancy behavior, it is the active growth characteristics of crucian carp and the food of fish in the natural environment is not so rich, so that there is an essential difference between wild crucian carp and farmed crucian carp.

How to distinguish wild crucian carp?

Due to the differences in living environment between wild crucian carp and farmed crucian carp, there are obvious differences in somatotype, appearance, interior and meat quality between wild and farmed crucian carp. From the body size, from a head, wild crucian carp is small, generally will not have a relatively large, farmed crucian carp food is rich, generally larger. Wild crucian carp continue to swim for food, so the fin on its back is also higher than that of cultured crucian carp, and its tail is also wide, and the whole back looks high and convex. Farmed crucian carp is rich in food, so its body is more fat, there is more oil in the belly of the fish, while the wild crucian carp is slimmer and has almost no oil inside.

Distinguish from appearance

There are differences in color between wild crucian carp and farmed crucian carp. Wild crucian carp are yellowed and brightly colored. The farmed crucian carp is black all over and the color is heavier. The gills of the two are also different. The gills of wild crucian carp are relatively clean, and the gills of farmed crucian carp will stick to mud or dark color, especially there is more dirt in the intestines of the fish.

Distinguish from the quality of meat

Wild crucian carp not only seek food but also avoid natural enemies, so the amount of activity is very large, from the feel of wild crucian carp meat appears to be hard, farmed crucian carp activity is small, and do not look for food, and eat some artificially processed fish food, meat quality is relatively soft, there is no wild kind of compactness.

In fact, the most practical way to identify wild crucian carp is from the more intuitive aspects of appearance and body shape, and from the color, body shape and flesh feel of the fish. If you buy it back and cut it open, it doesn't seem to make much sense. The identification of wild crucian carp must have some other more intuitive methods, welcome to leave a message to exchange.
