The body is oval, wide and flat on the sides. The main color of the whole body is gray-green, the back is dark green, and the abdomen is large red.

The water temperature of man-eating pomfret is not strict, but the water temperature is not suitable for man-eating pomfret It is extremely important to say that the water temperature not only directly affects the feeding and growth of the man-eating pomfret, but also indirectly affects the man-eating pomfret through the change of water temperature on the environmental conditions of the water body. In addition, the effect and influence of water temperature on the disease of pompano cannibals In general, the toxicity of the drug will increase by 2-3 times for every 10 °C increase in water temperature. Therefore, maintaining a suitable water temperature range is very important for pompano.
