? Marine fish and freshwater fish are two kinds of fish with very different living habits. The former lives in seawater, while the latter lives in freshwater with relatively low salinity. Whitebait is the freshwater fish of the two. However, although they are freshwater fish, they sometimes live near the sea, in the estuaries of some big rivers, and some live directly in the freshwater basins of inland areas. When whitebait fish breed during the breeding season, they generally breed in freshwater basins. In our country, there are many whitebait, the more famous one is a kind of whitebait living in Taihu Lake area, called "short-snout whitebait".
does whitebait grow? It has been introduced above that whitebait belongs to freshwater fish. Some whitebait live in coastal areas, while others live in inland freshwater basins. From the point of view of the countries where whitebait lives, they are not only distributed in China, but also in some countries around China, such as North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Russia and other countries. There are several species of whitebait, and the specific waters in which they grow are also different. For example, the famous "short-snout whitebait" mentioned above grows in the Taihu Lake area of China. In addition, there are "Dongting Lake Whitebait" and "Poyang Lake Whitebait", which live in Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake respectively.
In addition, from the stratification of the waters, whitebait generally grows in the bottom or middle of the waters, rarely in the upper layer. The main food of whitebait is some plankton and their metabolites distributed in the middle and bottom of the water.
