What are the natural enemies of snakehead?

The biggest fear of raising fish ponds is snakehead. If a few snakeheads are missing, the fish in this pond will be raised for nothing! Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but the appearance of snakehead will definitely affect the catch! The fierceness of snakehead can be called the king of freshwater fish, and the piranha will not fall in the wind, so is there any natural enemy in nature?

Black fish, known as the king of freshwater fish, why is it so fierce? In fact, snakehead is a kind of fish with quite good taste. Black fish is generally used for pickled fish, followed by chubby fish and silver carp. Snakehead has few bones, tender meat and delicious taste. Except for the head, it is mostly meat with only one bone in the middle, so adults and children like to eat snakehead, and of course the price is slightly more expensive than silver carp!

The countryside is generally called snakehead, because the whole body is black, which is also called snakehead. The scales on this head look a bit like the lines of snakehead scales, hence the name! Snakehead is widely distributed in China, India, Southeast Asia to the Russian Far East, South Korea and Japan.

Snakehead is a carnivorous fish, which has a large appetite and a wide range of food sources. There are not only insects in the water, but also beetles, crayfish or other amphibians such as shrimps and frogs, as well as various miscellaneous fish and economic fish. Moreover, it can eat prey half smaller than its own body, which makes it almost invincible in fresh water!

Snakehead has a strong reproductive ability, but it does not flood, because snakehead will prey on its own young fish, and its six parents will not recognize it, only this bite! The size of snakehead is not small, generally reaching 0.4-0.7 meters, and some are even above 0.8 meters. At present, the world record is1.5m Russian snakehead, weighing more than 7kg!

Black fish has low requirements on environmental capacity. According to the culture data, the density of snakehead can be very high, and the requirement for dissolved oxygen in water is very low, so it can be cultured in high density. An acre of fish pond can stock 1000 fish, which can basically be dense enough to make people with intensive phobia scalp numb! These advantages make it a top predator among freshwater fish!

Does snakehead have natural enemies? Piranhas are not afraid. What fish are you afraid of? A while ago, after a video of confrontation between snakehead and piranha in a piranha tank became popular, various videos of confrontation between snakehead and piranha appeared on the short video platform. Basically, a snakehead can do nothing for dozens of piranhas, and it will be eaten into a skeleton in less than ten minutes!

But in the one-on-one duel, snakehead didn't lose, but it was equally divided. Of course, snakeheads are not afraid of piranhas! After all, there is no chance for a large group of piranhas to win, and it is not shameful for the snakeheads to be eaten into skeletons in dozens of piranha fish tanks!

Does snakehead have natural enemies?

In fact, the biggest natural enemy of snakehead is itself, because it and its six parents don't recognize each other and even eat their own larvae. What do you think this is? So it's easy to have an accident if you can't control your mouth. Fortunately, snakehead produces a huge number of fish eggs, which can reach tens of thousands at a time, but most of these fish eggs are eaten by themselves after hatching!

But with such a huge base, if dozens of fish survive, a fish pond will be occupied by them sooner or later, so many fish ponds will clear the pond before raising fish. What shall we do? Just throw a few male fish and keep them for a while, and all kinds of messy things will be gone. Finally, put a few down, bring a few back, and put other fish in the pond!

Is Hucho taimen a natural enemy of snakehead?

Maybe he is the natural enemy of all animals.

Some friends think that human beings are the natural enemies of snakehead, to be precise, human beings are the natural enemies of all wild animals! But at the same time, human beings are also the guardians of most wild animals. After all, it is a very good research topic to ensure the healthy development of ecology, protect the environment and ensure the future survival and continuation of mankind. At least up to now, human beings have found it very important to maintain biodiversity, so we must avoid becoming a natural enemy of an animal, otherwise it will not be far from the extinction of that animal!
