hello steemians friend today i want to tell you about my experience and my comrades in finding or taking yesterday's snakehead.
**started yesterday is the most boring day for us because without any activity, because work is off.** **while we were chatting abruptly one of us was inspired and invited us to drain the water in one of the places like the pond to take the snakehead there. the place where we are looking for the fish is a former river of our ancestors' ancestry some 200 years ago, but until now the river is no longer active as a river usually, this has happened about 200 years ago according to stories heard from generation to generation our old.**
because the place is not deep and flat, on average there are some who are interested to build houses, planted and some are digging in the form of ponds and wells. from the excavation is where some freshwater fish, such as catfish, snakehead eel and others.
during the rainy season this place will be filled with water like a pond or a long swamp. and the process of receding water is not easy and even takes a very long time, at the time of dry start is the average of our search for the fish in the deep places ever dig by our parents first. this happens on average a year only once, according to the climate in our place.
as the story above we both go to the place with the provision of gasoline pouring machine (pampers) for the engine and 1 large timba.
we both work, while waiting for the water to dry some of us have a watch to keep the engine is not dead, there is also from us who sit back, this we do take turns.
**continued the story, some of the fish we can donate to the needy, there is what you sell and we take home to each home, because the fish we got quite a lot, essentially almost half of the people in our village enjoy the fish we get.**
**maybe you ask why the fish that we can I say a lot, while the photo only a little? the answer is, the fish that I photograph this is the last remaining fish or fish, because before I did not have time to hold the camera hp for me take a lot of fish photos because I and my friends are both busy with the fish, so I realize that forgot take photos for proof that the fish is very much.**
**Below I will explain a little about the benefits of snakehead, hopefully useful:**
In areas that have waters, such as rivers, swamps, moats and lakes, there are still many fish that can be utilized as a source of protein. One of them is snakehead fish which has been widely known by the people of Indonesia. These fish easily live in waters that have not been contaminated by pesticides. In nature snakehead fish are predatory fish, small fish predators, insects, child frogs, snails, worms and other types of aquatic animals.
This fish is widespread from South Asia, southern China to Southeast Asia, including western Indonesia. In Indonesia, many local names for this fish for example aceh (bace).
In English known as common snakehead, snakehead murrel, chevron snakehead, striped snakehead and also aruan.
Adult cork fish can grow to a length of one meter. Large-headed slightly spiked like a snake head so named snakehead with large scales on the head. The round body is elongated with rounded fins at the ends. The upper side of the body from head to tail is dark, brownish or greenish, with the underside of a white body. The side of the crossed-up look like the surrounding environment. Big mouth with big and sharp teeth.
Fish snakehead has a kind of labyrinth organ such as in catfish or betok, but more primitive resembling amphibian respiratory system. This ability causes the snakehead to have adaptive ability to the environment that is moving or burying itself in the mud when the waters dry out. often found snakehead fish running on land, especially at night during the dry season, looking for another place that is still watery.
snakehead and Health Benefits
Although other fish are also known as a good source of protein for the body, but the snakehead is known to have a higher type of nutritional content. Protein content of cork fish is 25.5%, higher when compared with protein content of other fish whose average has protein below 21%.
Remarkably, this snakehead is very rich in albumin, one of the important proteins for the human body. Albumin needed human body, especially in the healing process of wounds. The provision of snakehead meat or protein extract has been tried to increase blood levels of albumin and help cure some diseases such as cancer, stroke, kidney failure, diabetes mellitus to postoperative treatment.
Lack of albumin in the human body (hypoalbumin) causes the nutrients can not be circulated properly throughout the body. For children, the lack of albumin will cause stunted growth, brain development is not optimal, decreased immunity to cause the child easily sick.
In a study conducted prof. Nurpudji from Hasanuddin University, Makassar, giving 2 kg of cooked snakehead fish daily to postoperative patients will increase their albumin to normal. Provision of cork fish extract for 10-14 days showed an increase of albumin up to 0.6 to 0.8 g / dl. The content of albumin plus mineral zinc in the body of cork fish which amounted to 1.7412 mg / 100 g of meat is what helps the wound healing process faster.
