Candidate of Biological Sciences Dmitry Kutsyn, senior researcher of the Department of Ichthyology of the Federal Research Center of the South Seas Institute of Biology, said that the dangerous marine predator that appeared in the Black Sea turned out to be the Korean perch. This was reported by RIA News.
It was noted that a reward was announced for the capture of the predatory animal in Crimea.
“Korean sea bass. This is also a known predator in Crimea since 2013. It seems that it was brought to the Black Sea by Far Eastern aquaculture… Predators are not dangerous because of their gluttony,” explained the scientist.
Kutsyn added that there is no need to worry about the increase in the number of predators because they are “self-regulating”. If a predator eats too much prey, the amount of food for it decreases and its population begins to decline.
The scientist noted that perch grow up to 3-4 kg.
