Scavengers are rampant in our country, but why have they disappeared in India?

Because India is surrounded by sea on three sides, and India has abundant inland water resources - rivers, ponds, lakes, reservoirs and floodplain wetlands, India fishes and breeds in various ways through the ocean and internal waters. , basically every year, abundant fish resources are obtained, which are not only sold in the country, but also exported to many countries around the world, making India the second largest fishery producer in the world.

The scavenger, whose scientific name is Leopard catfish, is native to South America. It invades my country mainly through human abandonment. When scavengers enter my country's rivers, they often feed on the eggs of native fish because they have no natural enemies. They are used for food, so they are extremely destructive to local fishery resources. In addition, because scavengers have hard skulls and are covered with a thick layer of armor, we, who are famous for our food culture, have no choice but to do anything about them. Therefore, fishermen will basically bury them or expose them to the sun after catching them, but this is difficult. A state of affairs that resists the growth of scavenger populations.

This is the current situation in our country. The situation in India next door is similar to ours, and Indians will never eat this kind of fish. Occasionally, such pictures are spread, or travel friends who go to India The descriptions after returning are actually exaggerated. Maybe Indians have really grilled this kind of fish, but the high probability is: the mouth-sucking armored catfish in the East Kolkata wetlands. This fish is very similar to the scavenger in appearance. Both have hard bones covering the head and scaly outer armor, but its appearance is very similar. The lower surface of the head and abdomen is exposed soft skin, and its mouth has whiskers. Compared with the scavenger, it has a certain probability of early adopters.

Basically, it was said that the scavenger was grilled and eaten by Indians in India, and they also said that "sprinkle some curry and the kid next door will make him cry." Or some people make fun of the Ganges River in India, saying that scavengers in the Ganges will not survive their childhood and will be smoked to death. Regarding this issue, I specifically consulted the Indian students who came to our school back then, and it was confirmed that the remarks about being eaten should be treated as a joke. The real situation is that India has also been invaded by scavengers, and there are still some who invaded with the scavengers. It has a close relative, the "suck-mouth armored catfish", for which relevant Indian scholars have long published research papers.
