Monkfish is also known as "sea ghost fish", "old man fish", "toad fish" and so on, because their appearance is very ugly. From the living environment to distinguish between fish, they can be divided into marine fish and freshwater fish, the former lives in the ocean, the latter lives in freshwater. The monkfish mainly lives in the sea water and belongs to the marine fish. Moreover, they belong to deep-water fish and are distributed in deeper waters. In terms of specific distribution, anglerfish are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas, such as the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. In China, anglerfish are also distributed, mainly in the northern part of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea.
The above has been introduced, monkfish is a marine fish. In the long-term survival process, anglerfish has adapted to the marine environment. The pressure in sea water is relatively high, especially in deeper water; The salinity of the sea will also be higher. After adapting to such an environment, if they suddenly change their living environment and live in fresh water, they will not adapt to the situation, because the difference between fresh water and sea water environment is relatively large.
In addition, monkfish can be eaten and is a kind of fish with very high nutritional value. However, generally speaking, they cannot be cultured artificially. One of the important reasons is that they live in the sea water and cannot adapt to the freshwater environment; Moreover, they are also distributed in deep water and have adapted to a relatively high pressure environment.
