Experts among the people say that the magical bow fish technique in northern Fujian can keep fish out of water for several days. Is it true?

In the fish ponds in Jianou in northern Fujian, you can often see some fish neatly tied up on bamboo poles in the ponds or streams. Their craftsmanship is very exquisite, and patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder Instant cure!

This is indeed beautiful enough, but the question is what is the purpose of tying the fish? When selling fish, you don’t have to untie them one by one. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to keep them in the water or simply put them in a frame and sell them? According to local people, fish that have been treated in this way will not die even if they are left out of water for several days. What is going on? Is it really so magical?

How magical is the bowfish technique in northern Fujian?

To keep fish fresh, just put it in the refrigerator. Isn’t that what the advertisement says? It’s fresh! But the question is to stay alive? Adding water with an oxygen pump is the only magic weapon for long-distance transportation. Of course, some criminals will add irritating substances to the water when selling it to make the fish swim wildly in the water and look fresh. However, this If the brood fish is not sold within a short period of time, it will die faster. After all, it consumes the fish's "extreme physical energy."

But the Northern Fujian Bowfish Technique, firstly, does not increase the amount of oxygen, and secondly, there is no water. Isn’t this a joke? Let the fish live out of water for a few days, except that it can use lungs and gills to breathe. Catfish, for example, can live for a few days, but they have to be eaten to death. Is this fish bow technique really a witchcraft? Of course, we have received modern scientific education, and things beyond science do not exist! So how is the bowfish technique achieved?

Steps of the Bowfish Technique

The bowfish technique is divided into three steps: initial tying, re-tying, and expelling and absorbing new things. The details are as follows:

1. Fish out When in the pond, tie the tail parts of the fish with a rope to form a bow shape, then tie them one by one to the poles, and then soak them in the water again!

2. After two days, the fishermen will tie the fish again. The method is the same, but the tying position will change a lot. The first time it was tied behind the anus of the fish, this time the tying position will be moved to To the front of the anus!

How many days can the fish survive with just two simple steps? As a newcomer who has accepted modern science, I do not believe it, but many fishing friends have tried it. Although they cannot survive for a few days, the effect is actually very good. For example, when you bring fish home, you basically don’t need to carry water. After tying them, Let's take the fish home directly!

Crucian carp itself is more tolerant of lack of water and is not easy to die. Carp is okay, but it will definitely die if it exceeds a few hours. But the strange thing is that carp can survive for several hours in this situation. It's really amazing!

The flower grower carefully studied this process and found that there is actually some scientific truth. Listen to the following detailed analysis:

The first step of the bowfish technique: initial binding

The fish can be tied up after it comes out of the water. The scientific principle of this step is to let the fish enter a state of low oxygen consumption. The fish itself is a cold-blooded animal and usually consumes very little. The activities of the fish after the bowfish Being restricted, consumption will be less, and the rear gill cover of the bowfish is forced open, and the weak flow in the water can pass through the gills!

The fish gills are the lungs of the fish. Dissolved oxygen in the water can be exchanged in the fish gills, and the fixed fish consumes very little. Therefore, if it is transported over a short distance, the fish after being bowed will only A small amount of water is needed to keep fish alive! But if the transportation is long distance or takes a long time, then there will be a second step!

The second step of bowfish technique: water retention

Moving the binding position in front of the anus is very critical, because during the two days in the first step, the fish belly is already hungry. All the substances have been consumed. At this time, the fish will swallow a lot of water, so the fish's belly is full of water, and this is what the fishermen want!

At this time, the fish can be carried directly on a pole. The fish can live for a long time without any water, because there are two factors. The first is that the fish body retains a large amount of water, which can pass through body fluids. Absorption circulates throughout the fish's body to maintain body fluid balance. The other is that the forcedly opened gill cover can dissolve oxygen in the air when moistened by body water, and keep the fish alive through the gills. Since the fish is already under extremely low consumption, This little bit of oxygen can keep fish alive for a long time!

And when passing by a water source halfway, you can soak the fish in water and carry it on the road. This fish bowing technique saves the need to carry a large amount of water for transportation, which is really rare. The people of Jianou are really smart about the way they sell live fish!

Can we refer to modern fish transportation?

There is no doubt that this kind of fish trafficking saves the need to carry a large amount of water, which often exceeds the weight of the fish and is poured into the sewer after arriving at the destination. Is it possible that the bowfish skill is so good? Can't you refer to it?

Live fish transportation

In fact, there is really no reference for large-scale transportation. First, you have to find a large group of skilled workers who know how to bow fish. It will take a long time to bow tens of thousands of fish. This cost The fishmonger was immediately dumbfounded, so it would be more cost-effective to transport fish on a large scale than to buy an oxygenating pump and then haul a large truck of water!

But for small-scale private fish sales, it is definitely a magical "witchcraft", and fishing friends may wish to refer to it next time they don't want to bring bulky buckets when fishing!
