Introduction to the sandao lin

1. The sandao lin, as we mentioned earlier, is a variant of the European carp. It is mainly because its outer skin is as smooth and clearly glossy as a mirror that everyone calls it mirror carp.

2. Mirror carp mostly inhabit the middle and lower layers of water bodies, mainly still waters with nutrient-rich bottom mud and sand, and have the habit of swimming in groups. Mirror carp is an omnivorous fish, feeding mainly on small invertebrates and benthic animals.

3. Mirror carp originated in Europe. The variety introduced into China from West Germany, after more than 20 years of systematic breeding by the Heilongjiang Fisheries Research Institute, has produced a German mirror carp breeding line suitable for farming in most parts of China. The most notable feature of the breeding line is that it has greatly improved cold resistance, disease resistance and other aspects compared with the original species.

Overall, our country has been quite successful in introducing the sandao lin, and anyone interested can learn more about the relevant details.
