Those who offend me in Huaxia will be boiled even if they are far away. The last article shared the 10 most humiliating invasive species in China, these species are arrogant in their place of origin, but after the invasion, they unfortunately encountered Chinese foodies, and the ending was wiped out without exception, and they became scum in seconds.
Let's start with a review of these 10 disgraced invasive species.
First: crayfish.
Second: bullfrogs.
Third: Egyptian pond fish.
Fourth: Sunfish.
Fifth: Bamboo shoot shell fish.
Sixth: Oysters.
Seventh: Zebra mussels.
Eighth: Largemouth bass.
Ninth: White jade snail.
Tenth: Patrick (starfish).
In addition to these failed invasive species, in fact, there are some invasive species that have become popular after coming to China, and some have now been flooded, seriously damaging our country's ecological environment, and making us foodies lose face
Let's take stock of them one by one and remember their names.
Tenth: tilapia.
China's top 10 most successful invasive alien species, tilapia is given a name. As an exotic species native to eastern Africa, tilapia came to China as early as the beginning of the 20th century. However, unlike the humiliating invasive species such as crayfish, bullfrogs, and bamboo shoot shell fish, the Chinese foodie "salute before soldier" does not work at all in tilapia. After nearly 100 years of enduring humiliation, tilapia has long been "flooded" in southern provinces such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, and Fujian.
What's even more bizarre is that in the Liangguang region, which is known for daring to eat and knowing how to eat, the huge number of tilapia and the arrogant behavior are like "a hegemon in the water", which not only slaps the face of the foodies in Liangguang, but also poses a threat to the native fish and destroys the local ecological balance.
In fact, the abundance of tilapia in the south is inseparable from its superior reproductive ability, and its ability to adapt to the environment should not be underestimated, even in the worst waters. There was a joke circulating on the Internet: "What to eat at noon today?".Tilapia. "After all, a joke is just a joke, in real life, tilapia is not a soft persimmon like bullfrog and crayfish at all, it's not so easy to pinch!
At this moment full of challenges and opportunities, we hope that Chinese foodies will not rest on the credit book of "frying" crayfish and bullfrogs, but actively participate in this battle against tilapia, seek the best way to solve the problem of tilapia overflow, and contribute to the protection of our ecological environment and biodiversity.
Chinese foodies, come on - put more chili peppers, thank you!
Ninth: African giant snail.
The aircraft carrier of the snail world, the great African snail. In fact, in terms of harmfulness alone, tilapia, a little fellow, is not worthy of lifting shoes for African giant snails. At least tilapia is delicious, its meat is tender and fresh, and the nutritional value is high, otherwise Liangguang foodies will not use it to make sashimi, and Yunnan people will not make lemongrass grilled fish, right?
The African giant snail is native to eastern Africa and is the largest snail on the planet. In 1931, it lurked among the plants of an ocean cargo and smuggled into China, beginning its history of criminal and arrogant invasion. It is huge, generally over 20 centimeters, with a spindle-shaped shell and a maximum body length of 39 centimeters.
It doesn't matter if it grows big, this product can be eaten, vegetables and fruits are not refused, and the farmer uncle is very annoyed. It's okay to steal some vegetables and fruits, this product has strong fecundity and is too good.
The African giant snail is hermaphroditic, laying eggs 5-6 times a year, each time laying 500-700 snail eggs, and the hatching rate is as high as 80%!Therefore, it is understandably difficult to curb the infestation of giant snails in Africa. At present, in Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan and other southern provinces and cities, African giant snails are everywhere and have a bad reputation.
In Western food, French baked snails are a classic dish, and there are many cooking recipes about snails in my country
Answer: You can't eat it. The African giant snail prefers a cold, damp environment that happens to be a breeding ground for parasites, so it is too difficult to cook and the whole village will eat it.
It can't be extinguished, and you can't eat it. The foodie was aggrieved.
Eighth: Brazilian tortoise.
How did the Brazilian tortoise, which is honest in its place of origin, cause a "turtle disaster" in China, and become a chilling ecological killer with the "turtle speed" of 58 million new turtles every year?Brazilian tortoise, also known as red-eared painted tortoise, is native to South America, and is currently sold in flower and bird markets, supermarkets or roadside stalls selling small animals in the country, but 90% of the turtles are Brazilian tortoises. Due to its low price and low difficulty in raising, Brazilian tortoises have always been very popular in the pet market.
Nowadays, in southern provinces and cities such as South China F3 and Jiangsu, the wild Brazilian turtle is flooded, although there are prevention and control measures in various places, but the number is too large, no matter how strict you guard it, there will always be "turtles that slip through the net". But the question is, how did this originally honest and honest South American turtle become rampant?
Answer: Release. The Brazilian tortoise was originally raised as a pet tortoise, but some of the releasers, because they liked the new and hated the old and did not want to kill, so they released them into the wild.
The Brazilian tortoise is an omnivorous animal, which does not refuse any food and is fierce, plundering the food of the native tortoise while frantically squeezing the living space of its peers.
Public data show that since 2015, a variety of closed-shell turtle species produced in Yunnan and Guangxi have been basically confirmed extinct, and a variety of excellent Chinese turtle species such as turtles, ground turtles, and flat-chested turtles have also been endangered and in danger.
Someone has to ask, since the Brazilian turtle is so hateful, can we "salute before the soldiers" like "entertaining" bullfrogs and crayfish?Theoretically, yes.
Nutrition experts revealed that the Brazilian turtle is not only tender and tender, but also rich in protein, vitamins and other nutrients, which is definitely a good ingredient. And as I said earlier, the Brazilian turtle flood is mainly caused by the release, so I would like to make a solemn appeal:
Don't release it, just put salt in it, thank you.
Seventh: Canadian goldenrod.
The "evil weed" that everyone shouts and beats, a goldenrod in Canada. Since it was first introduced back to China in 1935, the Canadian goldenrod has been highly sought after by the Chinese people for its gorgeous flower color. However, time has passed, and now the goldenrod has long been flooded, especially in Hubei, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi and other southern provinces and cities, shocking.
At the beginning of 2021, the Kunming Institute of Botany discovered a goldenrod in **. This means that even the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the roof of our world, is doomed. The amazing reproductive ability has turned goldenrod from an ornamental plant to an invasive weed.
According to experts, a bouquet of goldenrod in Canada can produce 20,000 seeds, and these seeds are scattered in the wind, and their survival rate in the wild is as high as 70%. It is no wonder that for so many years, no matter how we prevent and control it, how to eradicate the grass and eradicate the roots, and even the "Flower Destroying Brigade" has been specially organized in various places, it has never been able to be completely destroyed, and we can only watch it grow and endanger the environment.
As a tall plant, the flower bush of Goldenrod canadensis is generally more than 1 meter high, which can easily block the sunlight, which greatly affects the photosynthesis of other plants around it, makes it difficult to survive, and seriously affects the biodiversity of China.
What's even more terrifying is that this flower can't be eaten. Foodies can't help either.
Sixth: alligator gar.
In the 70s of the last century, the United States introduced Asian carp from China, causing an ecological disaster. In order to deal with the swarms of Asian carp, the United States has taken measures such as poisoning, building dams, and laying electrical equipment to encircle and exterminate Asian carpBut now, the alligator gar has come to China, what does it want to do?
The alligator gar, native to North America, is known as the "Freshwater Devil". It has a sharp beak and sharp teeth, and its attack is powerful, and it is at the top of the food chain and stands out from the fish. For this big commodity, Chinese foodies are directly scared to pee, not to mention eating it, they all have weak legs when they see it.
Ladies and gentlemen, look: two rows of sharp teeth, glittering in the sun, like daggers, ready to strike a thunderous blow at any time!Dressed in hard phosphorus, like steel armor, indestructible - you can attack when you advance, you can defend when you retreat...Forget it, let's pick soft persimmons and pinch it, boss, let's plate crayfish, don't put coriander, thank you ......
In North America, as long as the alligator gar is infested, other species have a hard time. The alligator gar contains poison in its body, which is not suitable for consumption at all, and has never had a record of failure to be served to the table. Last year, an alligator gar appeared in Ruzhou, Henan Province, which caused heated discussions.
In fact, in addition to Ruzhou, Henan, in recent years, alligator gar has also been found in Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places, although they are all accidental phenomena, the number is very small, but it is also worth vigilance, not to let the ecological tragedy of the African giant snail and the Brazilian turtle repeat.
After all, even foodies don't dare to start, so don't invade.
Fifth: Red fire ants.
Uninvited guests, American red fire ants. Although the rate of climb is slow, the rate of reproduction is staggering, and it is now flooding the world, including China. Not to mention the strong reproductive ability of this product, the aggressiveness is also terrifying, if your calf is accidentally bitten by this product, there will immediately appear red pus, itching does not stop.
Someone on the Internet broke the news that he was bitten by red fire ants in the wild, and his legs even had a short period of paralysis, and he was afraid.
The red fire ant, native to South America, is listed as a global invasive species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). As an invasive alien species, red fire ants landed in China from Wuchuan, Guangdong Province in 2004, and after 17 years of latent and low-key spread, they have now become big in China, or even too big to fail, which is worrying.
Capture South China, Central China is in a hurry, approaching Qinling, and pointing at Guanzhong!In 2019, China's Ministry of Agriculture issued a notice saying that red fire ants were found in 12 provinces across the country. In 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture monitored and found that the range of red fire ant activity has further expanded, and the number of areas reported to have invaded red fire ants has doubled from 2016.
It can really be described as the "ant" red of the motherland!
In fact, the rampant red fire ant in our country is attributed to its super reproduction. Red fire ants do not live long but lay an amazing amount of eggs, female ants can lay eggs within 24 hours after mating, lay 10-15 eggs at a time, and only 10 hours will hatch ants, and after the first batch of eggs hatch, the female ants will lay eggs again, laying 75-125 eggs, and so on!Experts revealed that a red fire ant nest can breed 300,000-800,000 small ants per day, which is sensational.
In addition to their intimidating reproduction, red fire ants are extremely capable of foraging. It is not picky eaters, does not pay attention to it, from flowers and trees, vegetables and fruits to animal carrion, it does not refuse to come, seriously endangers agricultural production, and even affects the normal activities of our human beings.
How should you deal with the overflow of ant colonies?
Fourth: water peanuts.
If the red fire ant dominates on land, in the water, it is the world of water peanuts. In the 30s of the 20th century, the water peanut native to Brazil was introduced back to China, and was first cultivated in Shanghai, but now this "evil weed" has already spread, flooding in Hubei, Jiangxi and other southern provinces, covering the sky and the sun, only in Hubei Province, the water peanut is enough to occupy the entire 3 million acres of water.
The scourge of water peanuts, if not, will be endless.
Water peanut, scientific name hollow lotus seed grass, folk also known as revolutionary grass. In the 1930s, China took the initiative to introduce water peanuts, which were originally used as feed for cattle and horses. With its growth rate, it was quite popular with farmers at first. But the good times did not last long, as the water peanut continued to breed and spread, flooding in the farmland and rivers.
What's even more terrifying is that the presence of this product will seriously reduce the dissolved oxygen in the water, like a vampire, causing fish and aquatic animals to die in the struggle and destroying the ecological balance of the waters.
The harm of water peanuts is far more than that, competing with crops for nutrients, encroaching on water and sunlight, resulting in a serious reduction in crop yields, which makes the people deeply hateful, but there is nothing to be done!Just because this product not only has an amazing reproductive ability, but also has a hard life!In the words of the farmers, even if it is broken to pieces, it will breed and spread again.
In 2003, water peanut was included in the first batch of invasive alien species in China. The name of the evil grass can't be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.
Third: water hyacinth.
The water peanut said it was a bully in the water, and the water hyacinth smiled. Sample, just you?On Douyin, we often brush this kind of water hyacinth, only to see the excavator probe into the river, a shovel up, full of weeds, and occasionally small fish jumping in the weeds.
That's right, this is exactly the workers cleaning up the water hyacinth.
Water hyacinth, like many aggressive invasive species, is native to South America. Because the leaves are shaped like phoenix eyes, it is named the phoenix eye lotus, but don't be fooled by its gorgeous name. This product is an out-and-out weed.
In 1901, water hyacinth was introduced into our country. In the 50s of the last century, water hyacinth was vigorously promoted as animal feed, but since then it has escaped into a wild state and began to spread. Because of its characteristics of asexual reproduction, it quickly gained a firm foothold in the wild, and now it is flooding the rivers, lakes and seas across the country.
A small water hyacinth plant can double the growth area in just one week, and 250,000 plants can be bred in 90 days, bringing the entire river into the sphere of influence.
The lack of natural predators and the crazy reproduction rate allow the water hyacinth to grow wildly. Today, in the Minjiang River basin of Fujian Province alone, the growth area of water hyacinth is as high as 160,000 square kilometers, blocking the river, affecting shipping, causing heavy losses to the local aquaculture industry.
In 2007, water hyacinth erupted in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, seriously affecting normal shipping. There are many similar situations in the country, and data show that water hyacinth causes economic losses of up to 1 billion yuan to our country every year. From the environmental fighter who purifies the water quality, to the ecological weed that is rampant at will, the water hyacinth is shocking.
It is said that water hyacinth is edible, and I hope that experts will call it out.
Second: scavengers.
Which invasive species is ugly and unpalatable?Answer: Scavenger. Like its South American water hyacinth, the scavenger was also a good hand at helping us purify the water in the early days. Unfortunately, this ugly fish went astray and became a vicious fish that flooded China, and its meandering fate is really embarrassing.
Scavengers, native to Paraguay in South America, were introduced to China as an ornamental fish in 1980. This operation, I thought about it for three days and three nights and didn't figure it out, just this ugly appearance of the cargo chief, and ornamental fish, what to watch it?
You look good in**?
At first, it was planned to be developed into a fish tank cleaner, who worked for free - sucking the feces of other fish and all kinds of suspended garbage to achieve the purpose of purifying the fish tank. The original intention is good, but unfortunately the good intention has done bad things. Later, some people released it, and the scavengers who returned to the wild waters no longer pretended, directly tore off the camouflage, and began to go all the way to the black on the flooded road.
Today, in many inland rivers in the south, scavengers are overwhelmed with fish. Guangdong anglers hate scavengers because they don't like to fish for scavengers, which are small and unpalatable, and ugly. But every time he threw his rod down the river, it was a scavenger who caught it. It's a pity to throw it away, and it's annoying to watch.
Scavengers are typical omnivores, eating all kinds of garbage, and they spare no effort in crowding out their native counterparts, so in many rivers, scavengers are in groups, and there are few other fish, and there is a great tendency to be driven out. Not only that, but the tenacity of the scavenger's life is stunning.
Someone on the Internet did an experiment, put the scavenger in the freezer for 30 days, thinking that the goods were dead, but they took it out and threw it into the water, and it didn't take long for the goods to start jumping again, and they couldn't accept it. Of course, scavengers are hated, and in addition to the flooding, the core reason is that it is not a qualified ingredient.
Foodies generally feedback: the scavenger meat rate is low, and the meat quality is too firewood.
First: Fushou snail.
Even if it is lined up 100 times, it is still a snail. Fushou snail, native to the Plata basin of South America, was first introduced to China in 1981, initially as a high-protein economic animal, and later abandoned in the wilderness due to poor taste, and since then it has begun to go further and further on the road of flooding.
Stealing crops, eating vegetables and fruits, and polluting water sources, Fushou snails have a bad record in China. In the mouth of this goods, callus white, taro, water chestnut, water chestnut, and gourd have fallen. Of course, the worst disaster of Fushou snails is rice. Fushou snails are sustained throughout the growing season of rice**. In the early seedling and tillering stages of rice, snails will eat a large number of leaves and tillers of rice, thereby reducing the panicle and reducing the yield of rice.
Fushou snails are so rampant, why do foodies stand still?If scavengers are disliked because they are not tasty, the reason why Fushou snails are disliked is that they are poisonous. According to experts, the Fushou snail carries nearly 6,000 kinds of parasites in its body, which is a mobile "virus reservoir". If it is eaten undercooked, it can cause fever and diarrhea, and severe infection with strongyloidiasis, resulting in headache and vomiting, and even life-threatening.
Eating snails is very dangerous, and there have been many incidents of food poisoning caused by eating snails by mistake.
Now, foodies are out of business.
