Snakehead is a kind of fish with a long life span. Under normal circumstances, their life span can reach tens of years, close to 100 years, and longer life span can reach more than 100 years. But that doesn't mean all snakehead fish can live this long. First of all, farmed snakehead fish can only live for a few years, because they will be sold after a few years. Secondly, if they live in a very poor environment, they can not grow healthily, and they can not live so long.
How long can a snakehead live and how big can it grow?

1. How long

can snakehead live? Snakehead is one of the freshwater fish growing in the freshwater basin of our country, which is very common. In terms of longevity, snakehead is still a very long-lived fish. Under normal circumstances, that is, if the snakehead does not die due to various unexpected factors, the snakehead can live for decades, close to a hundred years. Some snakeheads have a longer life span, and they can even live to more than 100 years old.

However, this does not mean that all snakehead fish can live so long. First of all, the living time of artificially bred snakehead is generally relatively short, because the purpose of their breeding is to sell them in the market, so that breeders can obtain certain economic benefits. Generally speaking, they may be sold after two or three years or even less, and generally speaking, they will not live for a long time. Wild snakehead fish live in the wild, although they live for a relatively long time in general, but their life span will also be affected by many factors. Human factor is an important influencing factor. Pollution caused by human activities and direct hunting by human beings are important reasons for the shortening of their life span. Moreover, natural factors such as changes in the natural environment can also affect the life span of snakehead fish, resulting in a shorter life span.

2. how big

can snakehead grow? From the point of view of body size, the common snakehead is generally not particularly large. These snakeheads are generally cultured artificially, with a length of about 30 centimeters and a weight of about 2 kilograms or even less than 2 kilograms. This is because they cannot continue to grow after a very short period of time. Wild snakehead fish are relatively large, but their size is also constrained by many environmental factors. A small number of snakeheads are relatively large, such as the largest recorded snakehead weighing 100 kilograms, but the number of such large snakeheads is very small.
