鱼苗

鱼苗 (yú miáo) refers to young fish, typically those that have just hatched or are very small. It is commonly used in aquaculture and fishing contexts to describe fish that are in the early stages of development.

The character 鱼 (yú) means 'fish,' and 苗 (miáo) literally means 'seedling' or 'sprout.' Together, they form a term that describes young fish, similar to how 'fry' is used in English to refer to newly hatched fish.

鱼苗 is often used in the context of fish farming, where they are raised before being sold or released into larger bodies of water. In Chinese culture, the breeding and raising of fish is an important part of agriculture and food production, especially in southern China.
