How many catties can the herring grow and how many years can it live?

Wild herring can grow to 15-20 kilograms, and very few individuals can even grow to 114 kilograms, while the captive herring generally weighs only a few kilograms. It can be seen that there is a big difference between the herring under wild conditions and under artificial breeding conditions. Wild herrings grow slowly at first, but they can grow all the time, so they end up heavier. Cultured herrings are usually sold when they grow to thousands of grams, so they can't continue to grow.

1. How many catties

can the herring grow? The herring is one of the freshwater fish living in our country, and it is still a very vigorous fish in terms of growth rate. In particular, herring living in artificial breeding conditions, because human beings can provide a suitable environment for their growth and sufficient and abundant food, so they grow faster. Specifically, how much weight herring can grow is related to many factors.

First of all, wild herring is different from farmed herring. Wild herrings grow slowly at first, but they can grow all the time under normal circumstances, so they are relatively large. Generally, they can grow to 15-20 kilograms. Larger individuals can grow to 70 kilograms. The largest individual found so far is 114 kilograms. Although the herrings in captivity grow fast at first, they are sold quickly and generally do not grow too big. The herrings sold in the market may be only a few thousand grams, or even lighter. In addition, the surrounding environment also has an impact on the weight of herring, the environment is suitable, the development of herring is good, they will be heavier.

2. How many years

can the herring live? As mentioned above, the herring is a large freshwater fish in terms of size. However, in terms of life span, the life span of herring is not particularly long. Under normal circumstances, if the life of herring is not affected by other external factors, then they can live for 7-8 years. The life span of a few herrings is slightly longer, about 10 years, but there are not many herrings with a life span of more than 10 years. In real life, there are many factors that can affect the life span of herring and lead to their premature death.

Human factors are very important factors. Wild herring may be killed by humans, and captive herring may be sold or killed after a few years or even a year, and they will not live long. In addition, many factors in the environment can also affect the life span of herring. In particular, herring living in the wild, if they live in an environment with poor water quality, their life span is generally shorter.
