next up is tor sinensis, found along the Li river, I couldn't save this one. The fisherman would catch the fry along the edges of the river, at less than 0.5 cm big, sell them to fish farmers that raise them up for food.
this one was bigger wild caught one found in the trap along hundreds of other types of fish destined for food table.
Im sure the cost of shipping those large fish would horrify me Nevermind what those cost. man that sucks in a lot of ways.
Yeah that's definitely a recipe for disaster.Sorry for you and for such rare fish.
Here is the last shipment. One of the reason is that these fish travel from remote parts of China, to the major cities with large airports, then after settling down for a few days, and get on planes and travel to another near by country, then gets shipped out to the US. The trip would make most human travelers feel sick, let alone a fish.
so when you wonder why fish cost so much sometimes, or cheated when fish arrive dead, just look at these pictures to help put things in perspective
