Is the Qingjiang fish a saltwater fish or a freshwater fish?

The Qingjiang fish is not a saltwater fish, but a kind of river fish. This fish is quite abundant in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Unlike other fish, the Qingjiang fish has a particularly strong reproductive capacity. Every autumn, fishermen along the Yangtze River only need to cast their nets to catch them, and because natural predators in the river are becoming fewer and fewer, they have already bred to the point of becoming a nuisance.

The Qingjiang River originates from mountain springs and caves in western Hubei, formed by the convergence of more than two thousand mountain springs. The vegetation throughout the entire basin is intact, with green waves rippling all year round, so clear that the bottom is visible, and the scenery is picturesque. The water of the Qingjiang River has moderate acidity and alkalinity, sufficient dissolved oxygen, fresh water quality, is pollution-free and free of public hazards, and has been appraised by experts as natural mineral water, rich in various minerals and trace elements essential to the human body.

A specific environment, excellent water quality, and a suitable climate produce the far-famed Qingjiang fish. After the Geheyan Reservoir area was formed, the quiet and elegant Qingjiang River water provided even more unique growing conditions for the Qingjiang fish. Good mountains produce good water, good water raises good fish, and good fish taste wonderfully delicious. Being free of public hazards, pollution-free, and hormone-free is the greatest characteristic of the Qingjiang fish, and the Qingjiang fish has already become the calling card of this region.
