[Reporter Chen Fengli/Report from Nantou] Sun Moon Lake’s ferocious foreign species of fish tiger, because the breeding season has passed, the electric fishing operation of the Nantou county government and a team of scholars ended in the middle of last month, and the number of fish balls electric fishing was less than half of last year. Fishing Huang Xiaosi, a tiger master, wanted to test the activity of fish and tigers in the pond in winter. He went fishing for tigers by the lake, and found that the young fish and tigers eat bait fiercely and are easy to take the bait, while the big fish and tigers are clever and do not eat the hook As for the bait, Huang Xiaosi said that the small fish and tigers caught were plump, indicating that they hunted indiscriminately in the pool, and when they grew up seriously, they might breed a large number of fish balls next year.

In Nantou County this year, about 14,000 goby fish balls were fished by electricity, and 4,500 adult fish were caught. Compared with last year's 34,000 fish balls, the number of fish balls dropped by 20,000 this year. Catch them all, and the number of electric fishing fish balls will drop significantly. However, the county agriculture department said that the reason for the sharp drop in the number of fish balls this year will be more clear after another year of observation next year.

The county government’s electricity fishing operation for fish, tiger and fish balls ended in the middle of last month, and the season entered winter. Tiger fishing expert Huang Xiaosi and his disciples also came to test whether the fish and tigers in Sun Moon Lake were still active in winter. Huang Xiaosi said that he went to the lakeside two days ago I went fishing for tigers. This time I used live koi with small tails as live bait. I changed the throwing point every half an hour. I felt that the small koi used as bait was not energetic enough, so I would replace it immediately. I caught 17 tigers in 5 or 6 hours. There are 7 Thai carps.

Huang Xiaosi said that according to past experience, large adult fish and tigers are very alert and usually not very good at taking bait. This time, the big adult fish also do not eat bait, but the small fish and tigers caught are different. They will eat everything. Most of them are plump, which means that they will eat anything in the pond. If they continue to grow up, the small fish and tigers will grow into big fish and tigers with eggs next year, and they can reproduce a large number of offspring.

Therefore, after the government ended the electric fishing operation, everyone was encouraged to fish more tigers, and to do their best to eliminate the exotic and ferocious fish species.
