What is the meaning of winter fishing

Winter fishing is one of the most important ways in traditional Chinese fishing. Every winter, fishermen use nets or other methods to catch fish in rivers, lakes and other waters. Unlike summer, water temperatures are lower in winter and fish activity is reduced, so catches are usually higher in winter than in summer.

Winter is a dormant period for fish, and winter fishing takes place during this time, thus effectively protecting fish reproduction and growth in the spring. At the same time, winter fishing can also provide fresh fish that meets the requirements of health and environmental protection, which is why winter fishing is so popular in the market. In addition, winter fishing is an important source of income for local fishermen to maintain their family economy.

While winter fishing has many benefits, there are some challenges in practice. First, the water temperature is low in winter, and fishermen are vulnerable to the effects of cold weather while fishing, which can cause greater damage to their health. Secondly, the environment of water bodies changes in winter, and some waters may be polluted by heavy metals and other harmful substances, resulting in a decline in the quality of the catch. Finally, winter fishing also requires rational management to avoid damage to aquatic organisms and damage to the ecological environment.
