Chapter 259 Cloud Shad

There is also a photographer from the program team on the bamboo raft. He is on the side of the bamboo raft, carrying a camera to take close-ups of the shad in the fish basket.

The audience in the live broadcast room saw it clearly, but most of the comments were questioning.

"Is it true or not? Is it just a show effect? ​​How do you say fishing for shad is just fishing for shad?"

"I still believe in wild shad, wild Yangtze River shad? Do you want to see where you are?"

"It's so fake. Is this to cooperate with the local publicity and trick the fishermen into fishing?"

"How is it possible to catch wild Yangtze River shad in the lake? Is it a stocked shad? Treat it like a wild one."

Amidst all the doubts, some sharp-eyed spectators recognized the shad in the fish basket.

"Damn it! It's really Yangtze River shad! I ate it once twenty years ago, it was just like this, the scales are very thin!"

"I showed it to my dad, who was a member of the Yangtze River fishing team in the 1970s, and he said this is the Yangtze River shad!"

In front of the camera, Dong Haidong carefully plucked the anchovy in the fish basket and carefully looked at its side scales.

"Yes, this is the wild Yangtze River shad!"

After seeing all the characteristics of this shad, he excitedly confirmed its identity.

"Did you see clearly?"

Deputy Director Wang also became more serious and asked: "Didn't you cast in the fry? Could it be that the fry grew up and migrated back?"

"Probably not."

Dong Haidong said solemnly: "The shad we raise domestically are basically fish species that belong to the herring family introduced from abroad, such as the Mizhou sprat from the United States.

Mizhou sprat is commonly known as sea shad. It looks similar to Yangtze River shad, but there are still obvious differences in appearance.

There is a black spot behind the gills of Mizhou shad, the eyes are bulging, the scales on the sides and abdomen are gray-black, and the scales are harder and thicker than those of Yangtze River shad, and the taste is also quite different.

The anchovies sold in many restaurants in China are basically made from Mizhou sprat.

But this shad is different. It has no black spots behind its gills, its eyes are small, its scales are thin and delicate, and its pectoral fins are light yellow. This is a real wild Yangtze River shad!"

After hearing his words, the barrage in the live broadcast room filled the screen.

"Damn it! Is it really a Yangtze River shad?"

"Hey, my dear, why did this wild Yangtze River shad come to Gaoyou Lake?"

"I remember reading an article that the real wild Yangtze River shad has become extinct. Where did this fish come from?"

Deputy Director Wang also had the same question as the audience: "Aren't all the real wild Yangtze River shad extinct?"

"It's not considered extinct, it's just that it can no longer be fished in the Yangtze River Basin."

Dong Haidong explained: "Wild shad can still be caught occasionally in the Fuchun River and Xijiang River, but it has indeed been several years since wild shad appeared in the Yangtze River Basin."

Deputy Director Wang looked at the shad swimming in the fish basket and asked doubtfully: "They haven't appeared for several years. Why are the Yangtze River shad appearing again in our Gaoyou Lake?"

"this…"

Dong Haidong hesitated.

He couldn't explain why. Why was this wild Yangtze River shad caught in Gaoyou Lake?

Although there are some semi-wild shad in the lake, they are all Mizhou sprats, and most of them are fry bought from farms and put into the lake.

This kind of Yangtze River shad has never appeared in Gaoyou Lake.

At this time, Li Yi, who was hanging red worms on the wooden boat, spoke: "This should be cloud shad."

"Cloud shad?"

Hearing his words, Dong Haidong couldn't help being stunned and asked: "Is it the kind of cloud shad from Mengkara?"

"It should be, they think it's called Hilsa locally."

Li Yi smiled and said: "I remember cloud shad and our Yangtze River shad are the same species."

Deputy Director Wang didn't know much about this, so he looked at Dong Haidong.

"It makes sense."

Dong Haidong thoughtfully said: "There are five species of fish in the genus Anchovy. The cloud shad in Mengkara is the most similar in shape to the Yangtze River shad, and has the closest genetic relationship. It is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and there is almost no difference.

.

It's very possible that we bought cloud shad fry when we released fish fry. After those cloud shad grew up, they migrated back and were caught."

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and he immediately became excited.

If it is really a migratory cloud shad, it means that their fishery management’s action of releasing fry every year is effective!

They successfully restored a new migration route for wild Yangtze River shad, starting from Gaoyou Lake!

If this is the case, then this political achievement is incredible!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement for a moment.

Deputy Director Wang obviously thought of this and became a little excited.

If the new migration route of wild Yangtze River shad is really restored, then Gaoyou will have a good show of its face!

Fisheries Bureau Lao Zheng is going to take off this time!

He glanced at Dong Haidong, his eyes a little complicated.

Why isn't he the leader of the Fisheries Bureau?

Although he is not the relevant leader, he has a stake in seeing it. He has to find a way to get a share of this political achievement.

So, he took a step forward and said with a smile: "This is a good thing! You have done a good job in fishery administration, congratulations!"

With that said, he stretched out his hand to Dong Haidong.

Dong Haidong was still immersed in the joy of promotion. When he saw this, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and shook hands with Deputy Director Wang.

But Deputy Director Wang held his hand and had no intention of letting go. Instead, he turned back and signaled to the accompanying unit staff: "Come, take a photo for us to commemorate."

Seeing the staff raising their cameras and taking pictures of the two people shaking hands, Dong Haidong's smile suddenly stiffened.

This old fox has a hand in all this?

Why is your tourism bureau taking the credit for our fishery department?

No, I can’t take any more pictures. If the leader sees it, I will be scolded.

The shad in the fish basket flicked its tail. Seeing the opportunity, Dong Haidong quickly let go and squatted down, blocking the mouth of the fish basket to prevent it from jumping out of the water.

The photo had been obtained. Deputy Director Wang was satisfied and not angry. He just smiled and asked Dong Haidong: "Do you want to release this fish?"

"Well…"

Dong Haidong raised his head and glanced at Li Yi, who was throwing the hook away, and said with a strange expression: "That's not necessary, this is not a no-fishing zone, and it is not a no-fishing season now. Mr. Li Yi also has a fishing license.

Moreover, this is a freed cloud shad, and Mr. Li Yi can keep it."

After hearing his words, Deputy Director Wang also glanced at Li Yi and understood what Dong Haidong meant.

Regardless of whether the fish is cloud shad or not, it must be.

Only if they are Yun Sha, this political achievement can fall on their heads.

Therefore, even if it is really a wild Yangtze River shad, they have to characterize it as a cloud shad released in Gaoyou Lake.

Just one piece is not enough. If there are a few more, the evidence will be sufficient.

Just as he was sighing, he suddenly heard a cheer: "Wow! Another fish!"

Deputy Director Wang looked up and saw Liu Yifei cheering.

Beside her, the fishing rod in Li Yi's hand was bent into the water.

Li Yi walked the fish leisurely, reeling in the line as he walked.

Seeing that the time was right, he lifted the fishing rod vigorously, and a silver fish jumped out of the water and landed in the cabin.

Reaching out to hold the fish down, Li Yi lifted it up and suddenly exclaimed: "It looks like another cloud shad?"

"What?"

Dong Haidong stood up abruptly, eyes widened, and looked at the fish in Li Yi's hand.

What a shad!

Seeing Dong Haidong's face flushed with excitement, Deputy Director Wang was also surprised.

This luck has come, and there is no way to stop it!
