According to the statements of the residents, many carnivorous sinker fish have been found in the canals of Paw Township, so the residents are worried that the fish species will disappear.
Pound Township A local who fished in the creeks said that only three to four five fish were found in the creeks in Kung Hao village last year, but now more than 50 fish have been found.
He continued, “I have been seeing these fish for three or four years. Usually these fish are small, but if you catch them recently, the fish are twice as big as before. There is a situation where it is three times bigger. The length is about one foot. We found animals with a circumference of five inches,” he said.
An official from the township’s fish department said that sinker fish are carnivorous fish and are a type of fish with a fast spawning rate.
He continued, “Sink fish feed on each other. The rest of the fish can’t eat him. The fin is long and sharp. I can’t eat it because the scales are hard. If there are those sucker fish, there is a risk that the rest of the fish will become extinct,” he said.
Although these sinker fish are caught, they are released into the ambush because they don’t dare to eat them, so there may be a situation where the fish ecosystem may be damaged, and there are suggestions that plans should be drawn up and implemented to prevent the sinker fish from breeding and spreading.
