How to distinguish wild and captive sea cucumbers?

1. Feet: Wild sea cucumbers generally grow in the sea area with a water depth of about 20, and they look for food through their feet, so their feet grow short and thick; However, captive sea cucumbers don't need to move because they use the bait put by the breeder for a long time, so they live in shallow water, so the action function of their feet decreases, the adsorption force is poor, and they become slender.

2 sand mouth: The sand mouth of wild sea cucumber is big and hard.

3. Meat quality: Wild sea cucumber grows slowly because of its deep water area (1.5 to 20m), low water temperature, less sunshine, thick and elastic meat, wide and full tendons, rich nutrition; The captive sea cucumber grows fast and its meat is soft but not tight (this is very similar to a pig that has just been slaughtered for three months).

Form 4: Wild sea cucumber is spindle-shaped, with thick tips at both ends, short and chubby, and looks very strong; Captured sea cucumbers are slender and lack toughness.

Backstab: The spines on the back and sides of wild sea cucumbers are as thick as those on the side, while the spines on the back and sides of captive sea cucumbers may be affected by the growing environment. The spines are long and slender, which makes people feel weak.

6 growth years: wild sea cucumbers generally need to grow for more than 4 to 5 years to reach the fishing standard. The longer the time, the more nutrients are deposited and the greater the nourishing value; In order to achieve the purpose of marketing quickly, captive sea cucumbers are fattened quickly and are caught and sold in just one to two years, which goes without saying.

Taste: Wild sea cucumber has a rich taste, no astringency, and the incision is delicate, neat and even.
