It can be seen from this incident that this crocodile eel was most likely released artificially, and almost all the creatures in the pool were eaten up. After the incident, it triggered a hot discussion among netizens on the Internet.

Shenzhen community now weighs 38 Jin crocodile eel.

On September 12, 2022, an unexpected thing happened in Shenzhen, Guangdong. A resident told the property management staff that a fierce fish was found in the landscape fish pond.

Why do people always release alien species?

Among the ornamental fish lovers, there are some fish lovers who like to breed strange-looking fish. They like to watch some strange fish and raise them. However, in the process of breeding, it will be found that the Chinese alligator eel grows very fast, so the cost is getting higher and higher, and people will feel deeply uneasy, so they choose to release it at will. At the same time, for most parts of southern China, after seeing that it is profitable to cultivate Chinese alligator eels, they will choose large-scale farming. In order to get out of the water, cultured fish will be built near the water source. In the case of heavy rain and insufficient preventive measures, Monopterus albus will also escape to the wild ditch.

If the eel is mixed into the aquaculture waters, it will basically disappear, which will make the farmers lose all their money, and the economic value of the eel itself is very limited. Crocodile Monopterus albus not only brings some benefits to some fishmongers, but also has a great negative impact on the whole country and the whole ecology.
