UROPEAN FISH, HUGE TO THE MOTIVATOR, CAN THIT THE WHOLE BIRD OF FISH
This slippery fish is also known as giant catfish or European squash. Scientific name of this European slippery fish is European catfish, one of the world's largest freshwater fish and slippery fish.
European giant catfish about 1,3 meters to 1,6 meters long, rarely seen fish larger than 2 meters. However, over time this fish's giant size records also gradually appear, for example, a European giant slippery fish with a body length of 2,78 meters and a weight of 144 kg used to appear in Italy.
European giant slippery fish originated in Central and Eastern Europe, they are raised for food and their numbers in relatively stable indigenous areas, but that's not a problem. In 1974, a German fisherman brought this fish to Western Europe and released thousands of fish in the Ebro River, Spain, hoping they would grow big so when fishing he would caught even bigger fish. Soon after, other fishermen followed and released European giant slippery fish on other rivers in their own country.
And this is a big problem. European giant catfish is capable of transcendent fertility, fringe can lay up to 30.000 eggs on a kilo of body weight, in the breeding season - summer, hens can lay 700.000 eggs, and unlike other species (after laying, they just pat the tail and swim away), this fish after laying, the drumfish will guard the side of the rooftop and try their best to protect the eggs .. If other species such as freshwater lobsters and carp, come stealing eggs, they will attack and chase them away. Even humans, they are not afraid, when humans approach they will still attack.
European giant slippers also have rapid growth and development, they can mature within 4 to 5 years, 20 to 30 years and long life most even up to 80 years. This allows their populations to grow in Europe rapidly. They have invaded and attacked rivers and lakes in Western and Southern Europe in at least 10 countries including France, Italy, Spain and the UK, leading to a massive drop in local fish , especially important commercial value migratory fish like herring and Atlantic salmon. Serious damage to the European soft water ecosystem.
In fact, they are big carnivorous fish, they can eat anything from sick fish to water living animals like frogs, snails, insects,... even if they eat snakes, turtles , mouse. v.v... even ducks or pigeons they didn't spare, even in 2001, a giant German catfish jumped out of the reservoir and swallowed a hound dog, due to that this plain leather fish is called ′′ Kuno the Killer ".
There is a small gravel island in the lower Tarn river in Albi, a small town in southern France. Big pigeons love to drink water here. But this is also the living place for the giant European catfish, when found out there were doves standing on the island, they would swim around the island and hang themselves in the water. When approaching the doves, they will come out of the water, open their mouths and pull the doves into the water to enjoy slowly.
