The saury and the saury both belong to fish, and both belong to the class Osteichthyes, both are bony fish. Moreover, both of them belong to edible fish, and their names are relatively close. However, saury and saury do not refer to the same kind of fish, and they should not be confused because their names are close. In fact, they are different fish, and the difference is quite big. If you want to distinguish the two, you can start from many aspects.
1. Family and genus difference: Although saury and saury belong to the class Osteichthyes, their specific orders and families are different. Cololabis saira belongs to the order of Jaws and the family of saury. The knife fish, on the other hand, belongs to the Clupeiformes and the Engraulidae.
2. Difference of distribution region: The distribution region of saury and saury is also different. Specifically, they are mainly distributed in the back of the Pacific Ocean, including the Bering Sea, the Sea of Japan and so on. Pacific saury is also distributed in the sea area of our country, mainly in the surrounding areas of the Yellow Sea, the water temperature range that Pacific saury likes is between 15-18 degrees, so it is more distributed in the mid-latitude areas. Because they are mainly distributed in the ocean, they belong to a kind of marine fish. The saury is a migratory fish, which goes to fresh water when it spawns and returns to the ocean after its breeding season. In the Yangtze River Basin of our country, there are many saury.
