Says Hsu Chung-kang: "Silver pomfret are very combative fish, and in the process of being caught, they often injure themselves by fierce struggling, so they're very difficult to capture and care for." Their scales have specialized into a silvery powder, which easily flakes off if the fish are touched.
「白帶魚屬於較兇猛的魚種，在捕捉的過程中，常因為猛烈的掙扎而渾身是傷，很難成功馴養」，許鐘鋼表示，白帶魚的牙齒特別銳利，身上的鱗片又特化為銀粉，一經碰撞，銀粉極易脫落而受傷。
