The number of starfish in Jiaozhou Bay has been reduced by foodies. What other exotic species have been wiped out by Chinese foodies?

Sometimes, we have to admire the digestive ability of Chinese foodies. Many invasive alien species will not cause serious damage to our country's environment, but can meet the needs of people with different tastes. A large number of starfish were discovered in the waters of Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao. However, these starfish are not native to my country, which immediately attracted the attention of relevant departments. What the relevant staff never expected was that there were very few starfish left in the waters near Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao, because the digestion capacity of tourists in Qingdao was too strong. In fact, this phenomenon of Chinese foodies exterminating alien species does not only exist in our country. Our country is not a place where crayfish are native. After crayfish entered China, they also became a delicacy in the mouths of Chinese foodies. Crayfish has become a food promoted by food stalls

Because each country’s cooking methods and food-making concepts are different, a large number of delicacies will have a completely different taste and appearance after entering China. . China has a relatively mature cooking system, and the cooking techniques of each region will also be different, which has led to the success of Chinese cuisine in foreigners.

Since crayfish entered China, many people feel that crayfish is not a healthy food. With the booming tourism industry, a large number of crayfish are made into very delicious dishes by chefs. People can eat the most authentic spicy crayfish for a small amount of money. This also makes the number of crayfish less and less. In order to meet market demand, many businesses actually cultivate crayfish artificially. Locusts have become a kind of food on the Chinese table

Locusts are particularly suitable for dry climate environments. Locusts can cause large-scale crop yield losses and affect the normal lives of local residents. Locusts will also reach different cities as their flight speed increases. However, the locusts encountered Chinese foodies. Although locusts are harmful to crops, they also contain many business opportunities and nutritional value. A large number of shops and restaurants will sell food closely related to locusts, so people can eat the most delicious locusts. Originally, people could not accept small locusts as food in their mouths. As restaurant cooking techniques gradually improved, locusts also became a delicious food.

In general, human beings’ powerful digestive capacity can ensure that the number of a certain type of organism will not increase in a large area. Although invasive alien species will have an impact on the local environment, China's foodies with relatively strong digestive abilities have become the natural enemies of invasive alien species. This phenomenon has both good and bad aspects. It can not only prevent invasive alien species from affecting the local environment and biodiversity, but also significantly reduce the reproduction rate of invasive alien species.
