snakehead belongs to our country common fish, live in fresh water. Snakehead fish have some outstanding appearance features, and their body surface has a lot of mucus, which is also one of their outstanding features. Because of the presence of this mucus, their bodies are very slippery and can be felt very clearly when they are touched. There is so much mucus on the body surface of snakehead fish because of their special body structure. There is a special cell in their skin, which is cup-shaped, so they can secrete mucus continuously.
As long as the snakehead is alive, this mucus can continue to secrete mucus, so there will always be a lot of mucus on the surface of the snakehead. But if the snakehead dies, these cells lose their activity and cannot continue to secrete mucus.
of snakehead mucus has been introduced above, because the body structure of snakehead is quite special, the body surface has a structure that can secrete mucus, so there is generally a lot of mucus on their body. These mucus have a very important role for snakehead fish.
First of all, the most important function is to form a protective film on the surface of their body, so that the dirt and harmful bacteria and viruses in the surrounding water environment can not enter the body of snakehead and protect their body. In addition, these mucus can also make the body of snakehead fish smoother, so that they are less resistant in the water, so they can swim in the water without too much effort. Moreover, these mucus also play a role in the aquatic environment, because they can precipitate mud or other dirty substances in the water, thus allowing snakehead to live in a relatively suitable environment.
