A 1.2-meter-long crocodile gar was found in the temple release pond, and all the ornamental fish were eaten! What should you do if you encounter an alligator gar?

Recently, people have discovered alligator gar all over the country, some in rivers and some in ornamental ponds. Some people are frightened by them, and some people are bitten by them. Alligator gar are an invasive alien species. Once they flow into a river, they use their huge size and ferocious character to kill all other creatures in the river, such as fish and shrimp, seriously affecting the ecology of the river. If you find them, you must kill them all.

As for how to kill alligator gar, it depends on where they appear, their number, the complexity of the environment, etc. If they appear in the ornamental pool, and there are only one or two in number, then you can completely drain the water in the ornamental pool, clean up other fish and shrimps ashore, and then hunt them. Finally, check whether they are making nests, laying eggs, and seedling.

If you find alligator gar in wild rivers, you can choose to go fishing to check their numbers, and this method can encourage nearby residents to become passionate about fishing for alligator gar. You can also ask nearby fishermen to go down the river with fishing nets to catch fish, and estimate the number of alligator gar in the entire river based on their numbers. In particular, you can estimate their reproduction status through small fish. If the number of alligator gar is found to be really large, the relevant departments should set up a professional fishing team to drain the rivers and rivers. After catching all the alligator gar ashore, they should check their possible holes and nests.

The reason why alligator gar flow into rivers is that residents release alligator gar. These residents are well-intentioned, but they have no biological knowledge, so they damage the ecology. Then relevant departments should publicize the knowledge of release and remind people not to release invasive alien species such as alligator gar and eels. On the other hand, a nearby fish pond where crocodile gar is cultured leaked. This may be due to poor management or bad weather such as heavy rain, which caused the crocodile gar to flow into the river. Then these farmers should also manage their ponds well and report to the relevant departments in a timely manner once alligator gar flows into the river.
