In City Folk, the 'Bug and Fish' window describes it as 'Rarely seen and treasured, these are known for having voracious appetites.'
Donating to the Museum
In City Folk
Blathers will tell you the following about the fish upon donation to the Museum:
"...Stringfish are hardy creatures that can live for up to 15 year with ease! These older fish grow to remarkable sizes actually... One fish even made it to a gargantuan 80 inches! At that size, perhaps we should call it the king of the river! No wonder it looks so serene, eh wot?"
The stringfish can be found in the middle-left tank in the aquarium.
Fishing Tourney
Chip will not eat this fish if you give it to him as an entry for the Fishing Tourney. He will mention that it is too special to eat as it is. He will accept it as an entry and will measure it as usual.
Further Information
The Hucho perryi is one of the largest, most ancient type of salmon species which inhabits the lower to middle reaches of lakes and rivers. It is Critically Endangered. Females lay between 2,000 - 10,000 eggs each time on sandy/gravelly river bottoms, most of them do not hatch. The fish can be found in areas of the Northwest Pacific, namely the Sakhalin Island (Russia, where it gets the name Sakhalin taimen), the Island of Hokkaidō (Japan) and parts of the far eastern Russian mainland.
