In the catches of some fishing boats, there are more fish with “milk” flesh than without it.
On the northeast coast of New Zealand, a strange type of fish began to be noticed. Their meat looks like a soft, milky pulp, similar to marshmallows. Newsweek reported it.
It has been mentioned that its signs, which are still unknown, the disease was first noticed in August.
“This is the worst summer for recreational anglers that our fish quality experts have seen,” said fisherman and analyst at the nonprofit LegaSea, a marine restoration organization, Trish Ree.
Such fish have been spotted in the Hauraki Bay Marine Park. By the way, it covers 1.2 million hectares. At the same time, it is possible to distinguish such a fish from a normal one only by cutting. Even test results do not indicate risk.
“This phenomenon is most common in bass because it is the most popular fish brought home by fishermen on the northeast coast. But there have been reports of this disease in other species, including kingfish and tarakiha The government believes that such fish are “Safe for humans. We have not heard of any case of dairy fish poisoning, but it is still not desirable to eat it,” added Rea.
At the same time, there are suggestions that the “milk” fish are males after the spawning season.
But representatives of LegaSea believe that the problem is due to the fact that fishing boats destroy the marine environment.
