Caught a nationally protected fish and wanted to release it, what happened in the end?
Yesterday, fellow angler A Du shared pictures of his relative's catch from a wild river in Nanbu County, just a few small fish, but they looked very much like Chinese high-fin banded sharks. According to A Du, these small fish were caught this Tuesday, with a short hand rod and earthworms as bait. A Du said, my relative said he had never caught fish like this before, and some anglers said this fish might be a Chinese high-fin banded shark, which is a nationally protected fish, while other anglers said it was not. My relative is not sure whether it is a Chinese high-fin banded shark, and it is still being kept at home for now, planning to release it later.
Fellow angler A Du then said, later my relative sent me the fish pictures and asked whether it was a Chinese high-fin banded shark. "At first glance I thought this fish was a Chinese high-fin banded shark, but after careful observation I found that the fish's back is not humped like that of a Chinese high-fin banded shark, so I dare not be sure whether it is a Chinese high-fin banded shark."
The editor's reaction upon seeing the fish photos was the same as fellow angler "A Du." Afterwards, the editor sent the fish pictures to some fishing groups for anglers to identify, and most of the answers were Chinese high-fin banded shark or a hybrid variety of Chinese high-fin banded shark. However, an expert angler recognized the fish and said that the fish was not the so-called Chinese high-fin banded shark or a hybrid variety of Chinese high-fin banded shark at all, but the relatively common Chinese false gudgeon.
What is the Chinese false gudgeon?
According to reports, the Chinese false gudgeon is a small fish, with the largest individual able to grow to 20 cm, and it is often confused with the Chinese high-fin banded shark, though its back hump is not prominent. The Chinese false gudgeon is a common fish in China's rivers and lakes, generally living in the middle and lower layers of slow-flowing water, and feeding by scraping with its lower jaw on benthic invertebrates, attached algae and plant debris on gravel.
After learning the truth, fellow angler "A Du" said his relative was going to put it in the pot and cook it.
