Moisa is a popular fish used primarily in the preparation of various snacks. Also popular use in fried form. Mashew meat contains a lot of vitamin A, polyunsaturated Omega-3 acids, a large amount of protein and trace elements, in particular, selenium. The peculiarity of washing is its massive release ashore during spawning.
Description of fish
Moisa is a small fish from the Koryushkov family. The length of its body ranges from 15 to 25 cm, mass - about 50 g. The average life expectancy is about 3 years. Females live for 1-2 years more males. The record age of washing is about 10 years.
Moja's body covers small scales. The dorsal and abdominal fins are noticeably shifted to the tail. Back Fish Olive Color, Bocames and Bottoms She is silver. In males, there is a side strip from scales, on which there is some kind of pile. The mouth of the moster has many small teeth, it is well adapted for catching small crustaceans.
Fish in depths up to 300 m. During spawning, it comes close to the shore, sometimes entering the mouth of the rivers.
Many have a resistant misleading regarding the Area Area - it is believed that this fish lives in the water area of the inland seas of Europe (from the Mediterranean to Azov). But actually it is not. Moja dwells in the northern regions of the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. Its abundance in stores is caused by extremely large volumes of catch. On average, for a year approximately a million tons of this fish are caught. About 40 years ago, the cauldraw of the washa exceeded 4 million tons.
Features of breeding
File ripening occurs in the second year of life in females and on the third in males. Before breeding, fish are collected in large flocks and are suitable for the coastline. The spawning itself is actually carried out on the shore. Fish in the literal sense of the word is thrown on the shore, where females are moving to caviar, and the males fertilize it.
With a rolling wave, attributable instances takes into the sea. Of course, not everyone is lucky, exhausted fish remains on the shore. But the point here is not only that they have no strength to return to the native element. The life cycle of males ends after the first and only spawning, females can sometimes survive and two.
Despite such hard restrictions on reproduction, as well as the fact that in addition to the person of this sea inhabitant, the seagulls, aloshi, cod, seals and even whales are actively "destroyed", and even whales, the fish population is not reduced. It has several reasons:
- High fertility. The female during spawning is capable of noting an average of up to 30 thousand eggs.
- Relatively large percentage of survival of fry. Ikra in the first days is almost on the line of the surf and does not form large lumps, which makes it difficult for the process of feeding her eating in potential predators.
- Abundance of food. Fifturns fish with plankton crustaceans, in what makes the Herring Competition. Smaller dimensions rather than in the latter, as well as the features of the device of the oral apparatus provide washing food even in the waters, poor plankton.
