Release magic record: put a fish, die a lake fish

In the early morning of August 27, the two "strange fish" in the Lake in the Central Park of Ruzhou City, Henan were finally caught. Before that, the two fish had tossed people for 45 days.

On July 13, a citizen found a strange "strange fish" in the park in the park, so he took a video and sent it to the Internet. After consulting with some aquatic experts, the garden preliminarily determined that this was a crocodile of about 80 cm.

After learning the results of the appraisal, the garden quickly reported the situation to the Ruzhou Municipal Government, so after confirming the shooting location of the video, a fishing operation began as soon as possible.

A fish can cause such a big reaction to not be without the reason. This kind of foreign species from North America belongs to giant carnivores, and the mouths exactly like alligators are full of sharp tip teeth. Adult crocodiles can reach 3 meters in length and weigh more than 100 pounds. When foraging, non -picky crocodiles will attack various aquatic creatures including fish, and even eat the same type when they lack food.

The combat effectiveness of the crocodile crickets was confirmed by residents around the park. A mass said that there were many fish in the lake before, including many koi, and later felt less.

According to the person in charge of the park, the reason why it is so hard to catch the fish is mainly because there is no natural enemy in the lake, and it will be too harmful to the safety of tourists, "especially children's safety." This kind of worry is not worried about the sky. During the fishing of crocodiles in Ruzhou, on August 17, a boy in a community in Taizhou, Jiangsu was bitten by a "strange fish" in the pool in the pool in the community. Getting fingers, "murderer" is also crocodile.

Therefore, the crocodile is definitely to catch it, but I am afraid that no one will expect that the fish will be so difficult to catch.

At the beginning, the fishing personnel used to fish for fishing, but Yunchen Lake was not the same as the pool in the community, with an area of ​​about 300 acres.

There is no way, the park invited a professional fishing team to use the sound to locate to find it. As a result, after searching for a day and one night, I still could not see the shadow of crocodile crickets. Fish.

Senna couldn't find it, and the garden side was placed on a large fence again. He wanted to attract crocodile crickets through bait, but he still found nothing.

After trying various methods, there was no effect, and the garden party finally made a ruthless hand and decided to drain the water in the lake to catch the fish. "As an operation and maintenance prescription, we have completely considered the impact of the water level on the water ecology. Five small lakes in the park are built according to the terrain, the water system is connected, and the five lakes are connected, which will not cause waste of water. "

That is, at this time, more and more people were paying attention to fishing activities. Many netizens stared at the live broadcast every day and asked about whether the strange fish caught in the comment area. As of the morning of August 26, at least 37 million people across the country have watched the live fishing live broadcast.

After so long, one male, one female, two crocodiles, was finally fishing, one was nearly one meter long and the other was about 70 cm long.

The matter is not over yet. Although the people who watched the live broadcast pumping were scattered, all parts of the country were constantly discovering the figure of crocodile.

On August 28, a large and two crocodile birds were found in a community in Chengdu. In order to catch them, the community was dried up in the pond; on August 30, the artificial lake in a community in Shijiazhuang was also found. Residents and property captured together; on August 31, a community in Haikou caught another crocodile.

In the past six months, at least 19 crocodile crickets have been captured in China, involving 12 provinces and cities, and the locations found include the ponds of the community, park lakes, urban rivers and university campuses.

In fact, the crocodile bird has also attracted widespread attention before, but the time was to return to February 2019. At that time, the crocodile crickets appeared in Baiyun Lake in Guangzhou at that time were also treated as a strange fish. arrive.

The crocodile larvae suffers losses too ugly. When the locals see it, they feel that it does not look like a good fish, and naturally it is easy to panic, and then grab them.

However, those invasive species that do not have crocodile crickets refresh their brains are very easy to ignore. It can also be said that most of the invasive species will be ignored.

According to the "2020 China Ecological Environmental Statistics", more than 660 kinds of foreign invasion species have been found in my country. Among them, 71 types have caused or have potential threats to the natural ecosystem and have been included in the "List of Chinese Foreign Invasion Species", and 219 kinds of invasion of national nature reserves.

There are probably few of them that can be on the news.

From 2001 to 2003, the former State Administration of Environmental Protection organized a survey of foreign invasion species nationwide. The survey found that a total of 283 foreign invasive species across the country have lost about 120 billion yuan in economic and environmental losses each year. According to the announcement of the "List of Foreign Invasive Species (Fourth Batch)" released in 2016, my country is one of the countries with the worst harm of foreign invasion species in the world.

In 2009, Wang Jie, director of the Biological Safety Management Department of the former Ministry of Environmental Protection, said in an interview, "According to the survey by relevant departments and some biological experts, the current types of foreign invasion have exceeded 400. The loss caused by the environment should exceed 200 billion yuan. "

For more than ten years, the invasive species have been invaded from more than 400 to more than 660, and the number of losses is probably more than 200 billion. And these 200 billion direct economic losses are still estimated, and the real loss scale may never have an accurate number. After all, "the most difficult to estimate is indirect losses. "". So the question comes, so many foreign species, such as the crocodile of crocodile in North America, ran to China across the sea, and there are figures everywhere from south to north?

There are actually two parts of this problem: first, how do these species enter China? Second, how did they spread out after entering China?

If you really want to say, it is not difficult to enter China, because it was once actively introduced to China as an ornamental fish, and there is a Geely name "blessing". It can not only buy it in the flower and bird market, but also be in the flower and bird market, but also in the flower and bird market, but also in the flower and bird market. E -commerce platform online shopping.

In fact, for Shannong Crappers, buying and selling crocodile birds has not been banned. The problem is that many sellers have indicated in the description of the product. The crocodile crickets are fierce fish and can only be used for home care and prohibit release. Woolen cloth?

It is likely to be released.

When Ruzhou was busy with water and fish, many relevant persons speculated that the crocodile crickets in the lake were likely to come from releasing. Jia Tao, a senior aquatic producer of the Institute of Aquatic Sciences, Henan Province, said: I think it is likely to be released. "

In addition to buying crocodile crickets on the e -commerce platform, various second -hand platforms can also see various resold crocodile tadpoles.

Gu Daen, a scientist of the National Grand Freshwater Fish Industry Technology System Invasion and Control Position, said in an interview: "The crocodile bird was originally an ornamental fish. Ordinary aquariums cannot be raised, and ordinary families cannot engage in tens of -meter aquarium to raise. "

If these crocodiles are not taken over on the second -hand platform, the owners often throw them directly into the lake or river.

However, there are no obvious species such as crocodile crickets, which are not the most troublesome. After all, it is easier to trace back. Those species that come in through various hidden channels are really invincible.

At the same time as Ruzhou drainage fish, Shanghai Customs also intercepted 300 living ants a few days ago. These ants are installed in epoxy resin pipes, with wet cotton in the tube and ventilated mouth. After being identified by the Shanghai Wildlife and Plant Appraisal Center, the ants are brutally harvested ants in southern Europe. This kind of ants are mainly distributed in some southern European countries such as France. There are no wild species in my country.

The point is that when these ants entered the customs, they declared the name "Lego toys".

China Customs no longer knew the smuggling ants. In March 2020, the Customs of Changsha Post Office affiliated to Changsha Customs seized 11 living bodies to harvest ants from a British entry package. shirt".

Don't underestimate these ants, sometimes only one can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan. "Selling ants is a huge profiteering. The cost price is seven or eight yuan, selling for two or three hundred yuan. More than 10,000 yuan.

Of course, more than ants were secretly transported in. In July, the Panyu Customs and Panyu Customs Anti -Smuggling Branch of Guangzhou Customs seized 16 smuggling living beetles at the mail bag. In the first half of this year, the customs of the country intercepted 173 kinds of harmful organisms of quarantine; 2925 lives were intercepted from passenger carrying, delivery and other channels, including a variety of foreign species.

Those who spend high prices to buy these creatures mainly use them as pets.

According to the iResearch report, the market size of China's pet industry in 2020 is close to 300 billion yuan. Among the pet type structures, birds and reptiles accounted for 9%, second only to cats and dogs and aquariums, and amphibious accounting for 4%. In the climbing pet, it is mainly turtle, accounting for 66%, followed by lizards, limbs, and snakes.

The large market and high interests have formed a complete set of industrial chain for smuggling various wild animals.

In October 2021, the Hangzhou native Kang Juntao was extradited to the United States, and the New Jersey court in the United States sentenced him to prison for 38 months for money laundering. Kang Juntao has never reached the United States at all, but establishes a living endangered turtle -class Sino -US cross -border smuggling network through the Internet and social media including the field capturers, transporters, and terminal recipients.

Through social media or selling websites, Kang Juntao placed an order to the upstream capturers, and even hired local minors to help them capture local turtles, and then mail these wild turtles to middlemen who are also in the United States. Subsequently, these turtles were shipped to Hong Kong, and then sold in the pet market in Hong Kong, Mainland and Japan.

Hong Kong is an ideal transit station for smugglers, because "the huge trade volume of Hong Kong makes smuggles more likely to hide smuggling in a large amount of legal items."

In 2019, a case seized by the Forest Police Detachment of the Chengdu Public Security Bureau of Sichuan Province. The sales line spread to 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, and a total of 84 people in the entire sales network. Organizer Liu connected to wild animals smuggled from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand. He also opened a so -called farm as a transit station for immigration wildlife in Foshan. Essence According to the police, "These buyers and sellers have formed a network covering nationwide. In the domestic market, the top level of the industrial chain is domestic first -class agents. There are many second- and third -level agents in China, and the bottom is ordinary players. "

However, these smuggling people only completed the first stage and let these foreign species enter China. In order to allow them to spread rapidly in China's natural environment, the efforts of another group of people are needed -organizational release.

In March 2016, someone released four or five hundred foxes in Huairou, Beijing. The local villagers found that the chickens they raised were killed. Moreover, these artificially cultivated animals have no ability to survive in the wild at all. If no one controls it, he can only wait for death. Water, when they caught them, they were all stunned, and I fed a little water and survived again. "

After less than a month after catching the fox, dozens of people in Tongzhou in Beijing released a full 500 catties of live fish. Someone recited the scriptures and prayed by the whole process, and there were people who recorded videos next to them. After the fish, the fish was born.

This picture looks too touching, but the rivers below are green, and it also exudes a strong odor. After many fish enter the water, the belly is giving up to the sky. This is much faster than the vegetable market killing fish.

Such a "Living King" behavior not only appeared in Beijing. In July this year, the amount of dead fish salvaged by inspectors in the upper reaches of the Suzhou River in Shanghai can reach one or two hundred pounds in a day and up to 4 to five tons, because because This is a popular area for release, but "the water quality of the Suzhou River is five types of water for the landscape. The oxygen content is low and it is not suitable for release."

No accident, the release also breeds a huge chain of interest. Many release tissue returned to the aquatic market to buy fish such as fish, and they were all big lists. "On that day, I sold 20,000 kg of screws and more than 10,000 kg of loach."

This is the smallest release behavior, the most terrible is the organizations that release wild animals.

If you don't want to release loach, but wild snakes, merchants will provide you with services, but the price is higher. "After the people in the mountains catch the snake, someone will accept it, call to book, and the other party will send it." Essence

These expenses are nothing to many release organizations.

Kong Lingshui, the captain of the Law Enforcement Brigade of the Beijing Garden Greening Bureau, said in an interview that in an unannounced interview with the 2007 law enforcement brigade, a release organization convened nearly 500 people to the release of sparrows, pheasants, and snakes in Changping. The release fee is 500 yuan and the fare is 30 yuan. "The cost of actual release animals is only about 20,000 yuan, and the pheasant that releases basically has no feathers and cannot survive in the wild."

This is still small. Some release organizations showed in their blog that from April 7, 2015 to April 4, 2016, a total of 33 release activities were organized, and a total of 100,7734 yuan was raised. This organization manages 25 groups, and the total number of members is as high as 8,200.

In their release lists, at least 57 kinds of animals appeared, of which 36 were marked as wild animals, including 22 wild birds, 3 snakes, as well as beaver, crickets, wild cats, and weasels.

Many animals that survive after the release after release are likely to be caught again to sell them to the next wave of releases to achieve "cyclic use". Sometimes they are released here. Do each, get along very harmoniously.

Among these release creatures, foreign species such as Fushou snail, Keshiraki, and Florida, and smuggling species that entered China through various channels, the frequency of the occurrence is also very high. After all, compared with local creatures, their selling looks Obviously better.

To sum up, in addition to the early introduction of species and the unintentional biological band of transportation and transportation, the reason why the invasion of creatures in China has continued to increase, on the one hand, because some people continue to smuggle various wild animals from overseas, and do everything possible to avoid the customs inspection of the customs. On the other hand, in addition to the part leaked from the breeder, many people have random living in hundreds of pounds and hundreds of pounds.

Once this goes out, it is difficult to increase the invasive species.

Such barely unprepared situation is still maintained under the constant crackdown of relevant departments.

The "Implementation Rules for Postal Law" issued by China in 1990 has clearly stipulated that it is prohibited from sending or clipped in the mail, including "various live animals". But in actual operation, it is almost impossible to completely prevent mailing creatures.

According to statistics, the global smuggling of wildlife and products in the world reaches US $ 50 billion, which is the third largest smuggling industry after arms and drugs. Such a huge demand and interests are enough for countless people to try to bypass customs inspections.

Chen Zhe, the Touring Inspection Division of the Inspection and Plant Office of the Zhejiang Entry -Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, said that illegal mailing through small parts of the postal bag is a difficult point for the inspection and quarantine inspection. The first is professionalism. The sender is a foreign professional shopping website and the recipient is a domestic professional. The second is concealment. The letter is small. The simplest and effective way is to directly crack down on smuggling.

From 2012 to 2015. China has cooperated with Southeast Asian countries three times to organize the global joint operation of "Cobra", "Cobra No. 2", "Cobra No. 3" wildlife protection law enforcement. In 2021, China and more than 110 countries and regions around the world jointly participated in the "Thunder Action" of the International Interpol and World Customs Organization.

In addition, the Ministry of Environmental Protection released the "List of Chinese Foreign Invasion Species" in four batches in 2003, 2010, 2014, and 2016, but the number of 71 species in the list is related to the number of invasive species in reality. Compared with a magnitude at all. Many animals that are smuggling now are neither protective animals stipulated in the state, nor "three" or provincial -level protection animals. Wild animal and plant protection stations have no right to jurisdiction.

Therefore, the list of invasive species needs to be further revised and expanded, and the faster the better.

From August 1, 2022, the "Administrative Measures for Foreign Invasion Species" jointly issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Ministry, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the General Administration of Customs officially began. This is the first management method for preventing and controlling foreign species in my country. It clearly stipulates that no unit or individual may introduce, release or discard foreign species without approved. If it is not approved and is introduced, released, or discarded foreign species without authorization, a penalty will be punished in accordance with Article 81 of the Biological Safety Law of the People's Republic of China.

In addition, in the "Wildlife Protection Law" 2020 version of the revised draft, it is also intended to release more stringent limitation on the release of online platforms and wildlife related information, and prohibit online platforms from providing illegal transactions and use of wildlife and its products to provide illegal transactions and use of wildlife and their products The service of "display", "transaction", and "consumption", because "there was no willingness to buy, after watching this short video, it may have the desire to buy and lays hidden dangers for illegal transactions."

However, compared with the harm caused by follow -up and release, the current laws and regulations still seem too gentle, and the harm caused by these behaviors must be borne by the entire society.

In addition to accelerating the amendment of the list of invasive species, the corresponding punishment measures must be at least matched with the harm caused by them. The fines of less than 50,000 yuan are obviously not enough to scare those who are random.

Just in 2021, the Criminal Law Amendment of the People's Republic of China (11th) "added the crime of illegal introduction, release, and discarding foreign invasion species, stipulating:" Violation of national regulations, illegal introduction, release, or discarding foreign invasion species. He is sentenced to imprisonment or detention for less than three years, and a fine or single fine. "

Faced with more and more smuggling and discarding behaviors, I hope this provision can play a role as soon as possible.

Of course, not all releases will cause difficulty in control.

In 2018, by the side of the Yongle Bridge in Tianjin, many people in yellow vests unscrewed the mineral water bottle caps and "released" mineral water into the river. The reason why these people release mineral water is because of "a bowl of water, 84,000 insects", and the water they released is still "big tragedy water" that the master has "blessed", the merit is higher ...

When this news came out, these people were also laughed at by countless netizens. Now it seems that compared with those who release crocodile and other creatures, they are really harmless.

After all, mineral water can't bite children's fingers.
