How Do Rice Field Eels Reproduce? Detailed Explanation of Breeding Methods and Techniques
Rice field eel is also known as swamp eel, field eel, field eel, long fish, blood fish, luo fish, scaleless young master and so on. It is a commercially edible fish and is widely farmed in our country. So how does it reproduce? What effects and functions does it have?
1. How do rice field eels reproduce?
Rice field eels reproduce by laying eggs. Their reproductive season is about June to August. When spawning, the adult fish spit foam, which accumulates into a mass at the entrance of the hole. The number of eggs is relatively small, and they are not laid in the foam but in the nest. The young fish can hatch in about 7-8 days.
2. What effects and functions does rice field eel have?
1. Nutrition
The flesh of the yellow rice field eel is tender and delicious. Its nutritional value is very high. Every 100 grams of rice field eel meat contains 17.2-18.8 grams of protein, 0.9-1.2 grams of fat, 38 milligrams of calcium, 150 milligrams of phosphorus, and 1.6 milligrams of iron; in addition, it also contains thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (B2), nicotinic acid (vitamin PP), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and many other vitamins.
2. Effects and functions
The meat, blood, head, and skin of the yellow rice field eel all have certain medicinal value. Eating it has effects such as enriching the blood, tonifying qi, reducing inflammation, disinfecting, and eliminating rheumatism. It is used as medicine among the people and can treat conditions such as consumptive cough, damp-heat bodily itching, intestinal wind and hemorrhoids, and deafness.
3. Contraindications
Do not eat dead rice field eels, because the body of the rice field eel contains a relatively large amount of histidine, and after the rice field eel dies, under the action of bacteria, histidine can quickly produce a toxic substance called “histamine” in the body. If an adult eats more than 100 milligrams of histamine, poisoning will occur. People with dry mouth and throat, dry lips and tongue, constipation, and scanty, yellow-red urine should eat it with caution.
