How to judge whether soft-shelled turtle is wild or cultured?

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the continuous development of science and technology, many people are still unfamiliar with turtles. Many people like turtles, but they are divided into wild turtles and cultured turtles.

Identification method:

First of all, the back of artificially raised turtles is rough and dull. I felt uneven and was stabbed by my hand, while the back of the wild turtle felt very shiny and smooth.

Secondly, the color of artificial propagation is mostly dark black and thick, and a lot of fat can be seen in the cut meat, while the wild back and bottom are mostly dark yellow. Careful observation of the limbs shows that the skin is pale yellow. Rarely cut. There is a lot of grease.

Wild turtles like to inhabit clean waters such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs and ponds. During the day, they often squat on the sunny coast (usually called sunbathing) and use ultraviolet rays in the sun to kill pathogenic bacteria on the surface. Promote the healing of injured body surface, raise body temperature through sunbathing, and promote food digestion.

Third, the artificial turtle shell is processed and cooked, and the teeth are broken and the bones are loose, while the wild turtle shell is hard, which is completely different from reproduction. If you pay attention to the above points when buying soft-shelled turtles, even if the deceived people paint the fish as soft-shelled turtles or paint them with too much acid, it is difficult to deceive consumers.

Fourthly, due to the high value of wild turtles and great market demand, the captured turtles are often not as good as adult fish. Therefore, it is difficult to see turtles weighing more than one kilogram on the market. If it exceeds this weight, consumers should be extra careful.

It is not easy for people who don't know how to distinguish wild turtles from cultured turtles, but the above knowledge can help.
