Why are wild carp yellow?

Why are wild carp yellow? Carp is a common food in our daily life and a common dish on our table. Everyone knows that eating carp often has many benefits to human health. Let's find out why wild carp are yellow.

Why the wild carp is yellow 1 This is caused by the wild environment, and the water quality is related to the feed. This feature is also the difference between wild carp and cultured carp.

There are four main differences between wild carp and cultured carp:

Body shape: wild carp is quick and slender; Cultured carp swim slowly and are fatter.

Appearance color: the back of cultured carp is black, the back of wild carp is golden, and the fins are golden.

Meat quality: wild carp feel very solid and hard when caught in their hands; When you catch the cultured carp by hand, there will be concave handprints in the place where you have caught it, which is very soft.

Beard: wild carp must be long and thick; The beards of cultured carp are thin and small, hanging on both sides.

After learning these identification methods, you will not be afraid of being cheated when you buy wild carp in the future.

Looking at the color of the fish, the wild carp is golden yellow, as shown above, while the raised carp is light black. But this method is only 50% correct now, because the color of carp raised in yellow mud water in the pond is similar to that of wild carp, and many people will be fooled. A catty of raised carp is about 10 yuan, while a catty of wild carp can be sold to 30-40 yuan, and the profit is 3-4 times, so many people in the market now sell the raised carp as wild carp.

Look at the fish mouth, the mouth ring of wild carp is very thick, and the mouth ring is still yellow, and there are two thick beards. The mouth ring looks like a rubber ring. The raised carp has no thick mouth ring, and the mouth ring is black.

Also, when killing fish, the blood of wild carp is thicker and more, and it feels a little sticky. The blood of the raised carp is light and fishy.

It tastes very different. The flesh of wild carp is very good, and it tastes tight. Unlike carp, it tastes pink and has no fishy smell. The soup of wild carp is very fresh.

Why are wild carp yellow? How do you know if carp is wild? Is there a big difference between carp? Sometimes it's hard to tell carp apart just by their appearance.

Some people say that if you look at the color, the yellow color is wild, but I don't know that the color of carp is caused by the water environment where it grows. This method used to be very useful, but now it is good to have a 50% probability. Many farmers are deeply touched by this, and will match the water and soil in the pond, and the carp cultured in this yellow mud pond will also show a golden posture.

Carp eats a lot and is a glutton. Wild people are forced to keep foraging, and their activities are huge. The dorsal fin is high and the tail is wide. When you press the fish with your fingers, you will feel very hard. Cultured carp do not worry about eating and drinking, and their activities are very small. In addition to the slightly smaller dorsal fin tail, the belly is also relatively fat, and it feels soft and elastic when pressed by hand.

In the wild, carp is a foodie and sometimes gets pregnant, so these methods are not absolutely correct. One of the main methods is to look at the mouth of carp. Carp is a kind of fish that feeds on the bottom sediment. The lips of wild carp have a very obvious mouth ring, which is yellow like a thick apron and has a long kiss. This is a typical symbolic label of wild carp. The cultured carp not only has no prominent mouth ring, but even if it does, it is thin and the color is also the same.

It can also be seen when killing fish that the blood of wild carp is thick, while the blood of cultured carp is much lighter and the taste is not as strong as that of wild carp.

Why are wild carp yellow? The secret bait for fishing wild carp is actually a snail!

When it comes to snails, herring comes to mind first. It is normal for herring to eat snails, because it also has a name called snail green. There is a piece of horniness in the throat of herring, which is specially used to grind hard-shelled organisms such as snails and mussels.

But when it comes to carp eating snails, some people can't figure it out, because in the impression of many fishermen, carp is a vegetarian, and what they usually catch is basically corn, wheat and sweet potatoes.

I estimate that some fishing friends may vomit after reading this article. I deliberately lied to attract attention and cheat traffic.

In fact, carp really eat snails, and fishing carp with snails is not a folk prescription, because this food is in the carp recipe!

Let's go and see the commercial bait with the word "carp" on the market. As long as it smells fishy, most of them have snail meat! Everyone is familiar with snail carp. This snail is snail meat.

Of course, not only snails, but also creatures like mussels, shellfish and carp eat them.

Tell everyone with personal experience that carp really eat snails.

Once I went fishing in the river. I was supposed to go fishing for crucian carp, but I didn't even see the shadow of a crucian carp for a long time. Maybe it's the weather. I didn't even eat the noisy white strips.

Based on the principle that fishermen don't walk empty, I think I can touch some snails and take them home. I put down the fishing rod and found that the stone on the flanging was really there, and the snail was quite big, so I simply took off my shoes and touched it.

For half an hour, I touched the cauldron and thought, Great, even if the Air Force doesn't lose money today, I got all the snacks and drinks.

Back to the fishing position, I looked at the floats and snails next to me and thought: if you keep going, you may not have a good result. It's better to be a dead horse than a live horse doctor. So I broke off two snails and hung the snail meat on the hook.

But I never imagined that it was not long before I really caught one. Why use the word "never expected"? It's not that I think it's strange for carp to eat snails, but that the weather and fish situation have not made me air force.

Of course, there are also fishing friends who must say it is a coincidence. It may be that carp happened to pass by and accidentally swallowed snail meat when smoking nest material.

Of course, it is also possible, but if you catch wild carp next time, you might as well observe it carefully when you slaughter it. You will often see the broken shells of snails in the belly of carp, which shows the problem.

What's the point of catching carp with snails?

Actually, there's nothing particular about it. Just break the snail and take out the snail meat and hook it. When fishing for herring, I usually hang it whole. When fishing for carp, I only hang snail meat. Of course, I can eat it whole, and it's better to use that crispy snail.

Snails can also be used to make nests. You can throw them directly into the water, or you can break them all and make a nest. In case of wild fishing, I may still choose to break them into nests, which will make the smell stronger and prevent snails from running away. After all, wild fishing resources are not good, and carp enter the nest slowly.

But if you prepare a lot of snails, or beat them in batches, it is ok not to break them.

Personal suggestion: Under normal circumstances, corn, wheat and other grains are used as nests, or pellets, vegetable cakes and other bait are used as nests, which is broad-spectrum for wild fishing. If snails were used to build nests from the beginning, so many fish species would not be attracted, at least crucian carp and herring were not interested in snails.

If you want bait, you can do it as usual. If you think the fish mouth is not good today, or there are fish bubbling in the nest but not biting, you suspect that it is bait, then you can use snails to fish instead.

If you hang snails for fishing and carp still don't eat them, I don't think it's the bait, because serious carp won't resist snails.

Snails can catch not only carp and herring, but also big crucian carp, diced yellow pepper and catfish.

Crucian carp don't usually eat snails, so it is said above that if snails are used as nests, they are not attractive to crucian carp. But if it is a big wild crucian carp, it is possible to catch snail meat, which is why I choose snail meat without shell, in order to catch as many fish as possible.

The big crucian carp not only eats snail meat and clam meat, but also eats fish. I used to catch crucian carp with a white meat hook, and more than once. Carp and crucian carp are omnivorous fish. Don't think that they are both vegetarians.

Needless to say, I wrote an article about it before. Actually, after reading my article, you won't be surprised that carp eat snails. Because even such a small and blunt fish can eat snails and break their shells, can't carp eat such a big body?

Carp has throat teeth, which are used to crush and cut off food. Hard things like mussels, snail shells and shells are completely impossible.

Conclusion:

The significance of writing this article is not to let you catch snails immediately after reading it, but to leave an impression in your heart that carp eat snails and often feed on snails.

In this way, if you forget to bring bait when you go fishing in the future, or see carp bubbling in the nest, you can't catch it all the time, and you don't have to be helpless. There is at least one way to adjust.

Snails should be found in most natural waters (especially in rocky places such as reservoirs). It may be difficult for you to pick up a pot, but it should not be difficult to find two to hook and fish.

Need to be reminded that contact with snails should pay attention to safety, don't slip and build your own nest!
