Fish washing lives in the cold seas of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This is a useful dietary product that is popular with the consumer due to the excellent digestibility of proteins after heat treatment. Moja is rich in useful substances that make it an indispensable product in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system. However, recently, Moisa has become less likely to meet, and its price has grown significantly.
Description of fish
Moisa is a staked pelagic fish with very small scales and small teeth. The length of the body reaches 25 cm, the mass rarely exceeds 50 g. The spin of the fish has a dark olive shade, sides and abdomen silver. The dorsal and abdominal fins are noticeably shifted to the back of the body. Fish has a noticeable sexual dimorphism: the females are somewhat larger than males, in addition, the latter is more dense and hard scales on the sides.
Fish dwells exclusively in the seas, very rarely (in the case of spawning) entering the mouth of the rivers. Washers feeds mainly by plankton and small crustaceans. The main competitors of the washing in the food chain are herring and imperfect salmon.
People's peculiarity is a unique way of spawning. Fish molds caviar almost on the shore. Snow time depends on the region, but it always happens in the warm season. Before entering the spawning, the fish is going to large flocks that attract chosenses, seals and even whales.
Each female, accompanied by several males, is thrown away with a tidal wave on a shame, where and the caviar mosk. After that, the females roll into the sea, and almost all the males remain on the shore. On average, the female is experiencing 2-3 spawning, males die after the first.
Fish is very prolit. Each female may notice up to 60 thousand icons. Thanks to their small size, and the same thing is that the first 1.5 months of fry live in almost coastal sand, a good reproduction of the population is ensured.
The reproductive age of females is 2-3 years old, males 3-4 years. Maximum fish can live up to 10 years.
The current state of the population
Moisa is an important component of the Arctic ecosystem, so its uncontrolled catch can entail irreversible changes in the balance of the animal world of this extensive region. Since it is food for a large number of marine mammals, birds and fish, the reduction of its population significantly affects the population of predators. They are forced to either migrate in search of food, or switch to another feed base.
Despite the fact that the fishing reserves of washing are quite large, and its catch at the end of the 20th century reached 4 million tons per year, at present its value reaches very modest indicators of 250 thousand tons. On most territories of the area today, there is a ban on the commercial cauldraw of the washing.
Therefore, the price of fish at 400 rubles per kilogram should not be surprised. Existing catch restrictions noticeably reduced market proposals and the price has grown. And since the mass production of washing is prohibited, so it is possible that this product currently existing in stores, to put it mildly, is lying.
