This is a classic Sudoku, which requires some special problem-solving skills, which may make people crazy, so any score is acceptable.
Many authors on the previous portal tried to launch various classic Sudoku that required advanced skills, such as X-Wing, X-Chain, XY-Wing, Y-Wing, XY-Cycle, Swordfish, Jerry fish, unique rectangle, SK-Loop, MSLS, JE, etc., You can find them by searching for "Classic Sudoku".
I admit that I prefer to chase the advanced problem solving skills of classic Sudoku, but here, I am more willing to recommend them in the most intuitive way. I have recommended SK-Loop and MSLS. This time it is fish, a variety of fish. I hope you can find fun in the process of finding fish.
The author of the puzzle is my friend 胡蒙汀(Hu Meng Ting) from China.
Solution code: Row 6, followed by coloum 6.

Catching fish must be maddening, practice it!

I thought the naked pair at the beginning was too obvious (a red herring?) Yes - a very fishy puzzle. Thanks for the learning opportunity. I can now appreciate how hard it is to spot a swordfish.
