1049. Transplant macroalgae
Li Ji finally agreed to his request, and he said: "Since you dare to die, can I still dare not bury it?"
The old professor is a person who values emotions. He knows why Ao Muyang brought the manatee to the waters outside the village. It’s because there are no manatees in China, and the manatee is cute and can attract tourists at that time?
But he knew that the manatee had a strong appetite. To the local fishing village swearing, this manatee could make the landlord's family poor even if she had shit, and her appetite was so big.
Ao Muyang was confident about this. He asked Li Ji to take care of the matter of bringing the sea manatee outside the village, and he went to the fishing ground to collect giant algae seedlings.
He hadn't come to the Brick Island Fishing Farm for a while. Now the fishing Farm is managed by Zhong Cang and his wife and Ao Zhibing. Because of the Jindian maintenance, the fish, shrimps and crabs in the fishing Farm will not get sick. Apart from fishing under the commission of Land Hu every day, there is nothing else to do.
After seeing Ao Muyang, Ao Zhibing waved to him and took him to see the ambergris in the house.
When he learned that the sperm whale spitted out this thing, it could undergo an oxidation reaction and turn it into real ambergris after being exposed to wind and sunlight. Ao Muyang later bought an ultraviolet spotlight to shine on it every day.
Ao Zhibing asked him to see the recent situation of ambergris. This thing has become very hard. If you put it on and sniff it, you can feel a different smell.
It's not a scent, but it's not a scent.
"Is this thing really ambergris?" Ao Muyang was still a little suspicious. Erdeng and Sandeng told him the answer. As Erdeng cheated, he didn't believe in this guy.
Ao Zhibing took a sip of cigarette and said, "It's ambergris, the boss, that's right, but ambergris needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and it takes a hundred years of accumulation to take shape."
Ao Muyang said: "I thought you said it can become a spirit, Grandpa Bing, you are a little superstitious."
The old man said seriously: "This is not superstition, it is a fact."
Ao Muyang raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I believe you, then you can come over and roast it when you have nothing to do. I'll go to the fishing ground for a walk."
This time when he returned to the fishing ground, he only brought one black dragon. The two of them wanted to go into the water to dig out the seedlings of giant algae. He could adapt to the cold water temperature, but the black dragon could not do it, so he asked the black dragon to put on a dry diving suit.
The dry diving suit is relatively thick and has strong warmth. The corresponding diver will reduce its flexibility after wearing it, so the Black Dragon is unwilling to wear it.
Ao Muyang glared at him and said, "Do you want to go down as a popsicle? It is beneficial to go into the water naked at this time. The body will not rot easily after being frozen to death. Do you want to freeze to death underwater?"
The black dragon rubbed his dark skin and put on a toned position. Ao Muyang said: "Stop being so stinky. There are no women under the water. Who cares about what you look like?"
After hearing what he said, Heilong honestly put on his diving suit.
After entering the water, Ao Muyang headed straight for the giant algae jungle.
Because he often walks in the water with golden spots and the giant algae absorbs something, he grows taller and stronger. The giant algae jungle has expanded and occupied half of the fishing ground.
Most giant algae can grow to dozens of meters, the longest can even reach 200 meters to 300 meters, and the weight can reach an astonishing 200 kilograms.
Although these giant algae in the fishing ground are spreading all the way, they did not affect the operation of the fishing ground at that time. They seemed to be conscious and actively expanded to the deep sea area on the edge of the fishing ground.
There are reefs at the bottom of the sea, and the huge fixture of the giant algae embraces the reef like a monster's limb, and then a main trunk floats upwards lushly.
A brief look, the giant algae is like a tree, with its thick trunk stretching straight upwards, and there are many small stalks growing around it. These small stalks grow outward like branches, and there are leaves growing along the small stalks.
The leaves of giant algae are very large, most of which are one meter long, but not wide in width, only five or six centimeters, so they look a bit strange. There are airbags on these leaves, which are the airbags that produce buoyancy to lift the thick trunk of the giant algae.
In order to better absorb solar energy, the leaves of the giant algae are dark green, and the color is too thick, almost black and brown, so looking at the giant algae through the sea water, adding the refraction of the sunlight by Shanghai water, resulting in the surrounding sea water being dark brown.
Giant algae are cold-water seaweeds. They are not native Chinese species, but are introduced from foreign countries.
When Ao Muyang looked at these giant algae, he vaguely remembered that the giant algae in the red ocean seemed to be attracted from Mexico. In this way, it would be a coincidence that the manatee also came from Mexico.
After discovering that there were giant algae in the fishing ground, he studied this kind of seaweed.
Of course, at first he wanted to see if it had any economic value, and he also studied the proliferation method of giant algae. This research was useless before, and now he is going to raise manatees, and the effect has finally come.
The common method of proliferation of macroalgae is to artificially cultivate juvenile sporophytes to release them to the seabed. The release period is winter and early spring. There is no need to worry about temperature. macroalgae is cold-water seaweed.
However, Ao Muyang took another method, which is to tie the artificially cultivated young algae to stones or cement piles and put them on the seabed. According to his understanding, if it is released in spring, it can grow to ten meters in summer. If it is released in autumn, it will grow slowly. However, after accumulating the strength of autumn and winter, giant algae will grow rapidly in spring.
Giant algae is the fastest growing plant in the world. Under suitable conditions, a giant algae can grow 30 to 60 cm in one day. In a year, a giant algae can grow to more than 50 meters.
There are many seedlings with spores growing at the bottom of the fishing ground. Ao Muyang held a knife in the water and cut off the retainer of the seedlings.
This is not the root system of the seedlings. They can still grow after the fixator is broken, but this takes time, so Ao Muyang has to tie them to stones and other things for initial fixation.
After cutting off the seedling fixture, there is no need to worry about it. There are airbags in their leaves, and the seedlings can automatically float to the water surface.
The work is not complicated or heavy. Ao Muyang and Heilong cut the mess quickly and cleaned up a lot of giant algae seedlings that day.
It just so happened that the fishing ground did not require large-scale breeding of giant algae seedlings, so he decided to regularly transplant the seedlings from now on.
In fact, Hongyang has the largest seaweed research base in China, where giant algae seedlings are sold. Ao Muyang is unwilling to buy them. It is not a matter of money, but a problem of seedling activity.
These giant algae in his fishing grounds have grown up with gold droplets. They have excellent traits and better activity. He estimated that they are more nutritious, so the cows should be liked by tigers.
In the evening of that day, he drove back to the village on a boat. He called Ao Wenchang in advance and asked him to organize people to prepare to transplant giant algae to the beach.
