From ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of anglers, small can be pleasant, big can be nourished. In ancient times, there were Jiang Taigong fishing wishers who took the bait, and there were fishermen fishing in the Jing River nearby to lead Tang Sanzang To learn the scriptures, and now there is Master Deng fishing for silver carp and bighead carp fire all over the net. Fishing can cultivate the mind, cultivate emotions, relieve emotions, and benefit the body and mind. As a sport, fishing itself requires a lot of knowledge and skills, combining theory with practice, in order to be able to maneuver with ease.

Journey to the West Fuse
Fishing needs to be grasped from many aspects such as site selection, fishing tackle, bait, weather, etc., in order to get the fish hooked as desired. After being hooked, you also need to see if it is the fish you want in your heart, especially there are several kinds of fish, and it is estimated that no angler likes it. They are the four mythical beasts of legend: ears of wheat, dios, scorpions and tigers.
The four great divine beasts in the fishing world
As a "cultured" angler, today we will begin to learn some knowledge, arm ourselves into the appearance of "learning to be rich in five cars", and know each other to win every battle. Start with the first great mythical beast, the Ear of Wheat, and find out what kind of fish you are catching.
Wheat ear fish (scientific name: Pseudorasbora parva), belongs to the animal kingdom - chordate phylum - teleost fish - spokefin subclass - Cyprinid order - Cyprinid - Cyprinid - catfish subfamily - wheat ear fish, wheat ear fish is a small freshwater fish, often living in shallow water, wheat ear fish body elongated, slightly flattened, long tail stalk, round abdomen. The head is small and slightly pointed, slightly flattened up and down. The kiss is slightly pointed and prominent. The eyes are large and the interocular septum is wide and flat. The mouth is small, upper, the mouth is fissure almost vertical, and the lower jaw is longer than the upper jaw.
There are currently 6 species of wheat ear fish, namely pseudorasbora parva (nominate subspecies), pseudorasbora elongata (1939), rare wheat ear fish (Pseudorasbora fowleri) (1925), northern wheat ear fish (Pseudorasbora pumila) (1930), and broken wheat ear fish (Pseudorasbora interrupta) (2007) and pseudorasbora pugnax (2015), it can be seen that the broken wheat ear fish and the aggressive wheat ear fish are newly discovered species in recent years, of which the long wheat ear fish and the broken wheat ear fish are endemic species in China.
Among these wheat ear fish, wheat ear fish refers to the subspecies, commonly known as mosquito-eating fish, willow leaf fish, grass seeds, etc., in addition to the northwest plateau region in China, ponds, ditches, streams, rivers, lakes, swamps and other water bodies are distributed, omnivorous, mainly based on algae, aquatic insects and larvae, higher plant detritus and so on.
Wheat ear fish
The northern wheat ear fish is commonly known as the barley ear fish, of which foreign countries are mainly distributed in the Korean Peninsula, Japan, the Russian Far East, while the domestic is concentrated in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and other places, omnivorous, mainly feeding on algae, aquatic insects and larvae, higher plant detritus, etc.
Northern wheat ear fish
The long wheat ear fish, commonly known as the ink pen fish, its distribution is more magical, in two areas that are not next to each other, (the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Li River system in Guangxi), the number is very small, it is a vulnerable species, and it is now listed as an endangered species in the Red Book of Endangered Animals of China and a vulnerable species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Seeing it, we anglers still have to hang out a little.
Long wheat ear fish
Rare wheat ear fish commonly known as mosquito-eating fish, grass seeds, etc., in addition to the northwest plateau region of China, ponds, ditches, streams, rivers, lakes, swamps and other water bodies are distributed, omnivorous, mainly to algae, aquatic insects and larvae, higher plant detritus and so on for food.
Rare wheat ear fish
The distribution of the broken wheat ear fish is very narrow, and it is currently only found in the Tianchi of Phoenix Mountain, Fenghuang Town, Chao'an District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, and the difference between the wheat ear fish is mainly that its lateral line is incomplete, omnivorous, mainly feeding on algae, plankton, aquatic insects and larvae, and higher plant detritus.
Broken wheat ear fish
The aggressive wheat ear fish is named for its fondness to fight, especially during the breeding season, it is first found in Japan, omnivorous, mainly feeding on algae, plankton, aquatic insects and larvae, and detritus of higher plants.
Aggressive wheat ear fish
Of course, having said that the wheat ear fish is so bad, it still has some value in itself, first of all, the wheat ear fish can be eaten, can be fried (friends who have eaten can tell what the taste is); can also be used as ornamental fish (there are two at home). But it is of little value and is mostly used as poultry feed. In addition, the wheat ear fish is good at preying on mosquitoes and young mosquitoes, which has a certain role in the eradication of diseases and pests, so it has been introduced by many countries to use it to kill mosquitoes, but due to the lack of natural enemies, there is a hidden danger of becoming an invasive alien species.
Seeing this, do you feel that the knowledge has increased, and the next time you catch a wheat ear, it will not be so annoying, and when you throw it into the river or the shore, first see which kind it belongs to.
