Chekhoni-shells

Chekhoni-shells are not a type of shellfish, but a common name for a freshwater fish called chehon (or sabrefish in English).

Chehon belongs to the carp family and has a distinctive shape with a straight back and a sharp belly.

Chehon can grow up to 60 cm in length and weigh up to 2 kg.

Chehon is a schooling fish that inhabits large water bodies with a rich food base.

It prefers clear and moderately warm water with a lot of oxygen and plankton.

Chehon can be found in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and estuaries throughout Eurasia, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.

Chehon is especially abundant in the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, the Azov Sea, and the Aral Sea basins.

Chehon is a migratory fish that moves according to the seasons and the availability of food.

In spring, chehon moves to the shallow areas near the shore to spawn.

In summer, chehon stays in the middle and upper layers of the water, feeding on small crustaceans, insects, and fish.

In autumn, chehon moves to the deeper areas, where it forms large schools and prepares for winter.

In winter, chehon hibernates in the bottom layers of the water, where it reduces its activity and metabolism.

Chehon is a popular target for anglers, as it is a fast and agile fish that puts up a good fight.

Chehon can be caught using various methods, such as spinning, fly fishing, float fishing, and bottom fishing.

Chehon is also a valuable commercial fish, as it has a tasty and nutritious meat that can be cooked in various ways.

Chekhoni-shells are a type of fishing lure that are used to catch chekhon, a fish that belongs to the carp family and has a straight back and a sharp protruding belly.

They are made of metal or plastic and have a curved shape that resembles a shell.

Chekhoni-shells are usually painted in bright colors or have reflective surfaces to attract the attention of the fish.

These fish are attached to a fishing line and are cast into the water, where they sink and then rise, creating a wobbling motion that mimics the movement of a prey.

Chechonis are known to be voracious and aggressive feeders, so they often bite the chekhoni-shells without hesitation.
