169. New member of the fishery 2
At the end of June, the weather was already very hot.
After dinner, Qin Shiou opened the window after returning to the bedroom. The villa had air conditioning, but he had never used it once. The sea breeze at night was so cool and gentle, and it was much more comfortable to blow on his body than the chilly air conditioning.
Because the weather was hot, the moon tiger leopard and Xiong Da had never slept in the bedroom, and they had moved their nest under the maple tree.
But tonight, Dabai, a total of four little guys, ran back to the bedroom early, waving his tail to wait for Qin Shiou, afraid that he would disappear again.
Qin Shiou comforted the four little guys to sleep like comforting the child, and Dabai fell into Xiong Da's arms, and both of them did not bother him hot.
After going to bed, Qin Shiou went to the sea to take a look. He remembered that he had not paid attention to the chemical factory waters for a long time. After passing by, he found that this place had become a paradise for giant algae.
Giant algae, more than ten meters or even dozens of meters long, are stuck on the reefs in the near-sea waters. Their color is brown or green-brown, and they slowly sway with the waves, like giant pythons.
This is just a near-sea water. Giant algae do not have enough living space and cannot grow too big. Continue to advance deep into the ocean. When it reaches a depth of four or five hundred meters, the growth of giant algae becomes even more terrible.
Giant algae in deep-sea waters can even grow up to three or four hundred meters. Their roots are grasped at the bottom of the sea, and a main trunk pierces the blockade of the sea like a sharp sword, rushing straight to the water surface.
This large giant algae has hundreds of small stalks like branches, and leaves grow on the stalks. Some leaves are more than two meters long and twenty centimeters wide. They scatter and float in the ocean, occupying a large area of water, continuously providing oxygen to the sea water and nutrients for plankton.
The reason why giant algae can float in sea water is because they have airbags on their leaves. The airbags can generate enough buoyancy to lift the leaves of giant algae and even the entire algae body. These airbags are arranged regularly on both sides of the main leaf veins on the leaves, maintaining the balance of giant algae in the water.
Now, with the sea around the chemical plant as the core, giant algae has become a domineering in the sea. Qin Shiou still underestimated the influence of the sea god consciousness on giant algae. Under this energy catalysis, giant algae have broken through the growth limit. Giant algae that are 200 meters in ordinary sea areas are rare, and here, there are many three or four hundred meters in total.
This kind of overlord was welcomed by Qin Shiou. He even had an idea that he would no longer have to develop coral reefs, but instead develop giant algae jungles, turning his fishing ground into Amazon in the ocean.
Giant algae can also provide shelter for fish, and they also have an advantage that coral reefs cannot match, that is, they can provide oxygen and nutrients.
Feeling the consciousness of the sea god, sea snakes with ferocious faces wandered over. It is no longer appropriate to say that they are sea snakes, and it is better to say that they are sea pythons.
The leading sea snake is nearly ten meters long, with colorful colors, cold eyes and sharp fangs. It is like the king in the jungle of giant algae, looking down on the world.
But the sea snakes are very gentle in the consciousness of the sea god. They roll in the water and wander in the giant algae jungle with the consciousness of the sea god, like loyal guards.
After using the Sea God to scare the people who want to clean up giant algae in the chemical plant, Qin Shiou ignored them. He originally wanted to let them fend for themselves, thinking that these sea snakes would leave this sea area and follow the warm current to places like the Gulf of Mexico.
As a result, the sea snakes stayed here. The Snake King commanded his subordinates to control the vast jungle of giant algae, just like the garrison left by Qin Shiou, guarding this territorial sea for him.
Giant algae attracts a large number of small fish to survive, while sea snakes feed on these small fish, so they are still very enjoyable.
Feeling the loyalty of the sea snakes to themselves, Qin Shiou was a little moved and worried. The bodies of these sea snakes are too large and toxic and violent. What should I do if I hurt people in the future?
He could only communicate with these sea snakes with the consciousness of the sea god, and tried not to go ashore during the day, nor to harm other lives except fish.
Although he doesn't like sea snakes very much, Qin Shiou doesn't like hurting them even more. These sea snakes are loyal to him. If he regards himself as the sea god, then this sea snake - perhaps renamed the sea python - legion - is the sharp blade in the hand of the sea god.
After comforting the sea python group, Qin Shiou planned to leave, but ended up meeting several large fish with gray-brown sides and silver-gray ventral sides.
These fish are over 1.5 meters long, one of which is even more than two meters long. They look ugly and weird, with a flat body, with two bright eyes and a small mouth on their heads, and a tall and long dorsal fin and anal fin on their back and abdomen. At the end of their body, there is also a lace-inlaid caudal fin.
Judging from the appearance, this fish looks like a big plate with a short body and thick sides, a small head, a small mouth, a short tail, no ventral fin, and no fish tail. This way it looks like someone cut off the lower body with a knife.
"Sunfish?" Qin Shiou looked at him curiously.
Several big fish were swimming clumsyly and lazyly in the sea water. The sea pythons were not afraid when they approached. They looked at it with their bright little eyes and continued to chew on the giant algae leaves in front of them.
The sea pythons are not interested in these big guys because they have enough small fish that are easier to eat and digest in the sea to make food. In addition, the sunfish are too thick and they can't eat them at all.
Both sides passed by, and the well water did not interfere with the river.
Qin Shiou returned to his fishing ground and found that there were sunfish in the fishing ground, but it was smaller than those in the giant algae jungle, and he was chasing the jellyfish and eating.
Although the large sunfish are slow to move, these small fish are very active. To be honest, they are really ugly. Qin Shiou thinks that if these fish are conscious, they will definitely cry by their ugly appearance.
However, the arrival of these sunfish is a good thing, because their first food choice is jellyfish, and Qin Shiou is having a headache about the numerous jellyfish in his fishing ground. In this way, as long as a batch of sunfish are raised, all problems will be solved.
Raising sunfish is also good. They have relatively high economic value. In addition to scientific research and ornamentation, it is also a precious edible fish.
This kind of fish has a disadvantage, that is, there is more bones and less meat. After peeling, the meat is less than 1/10 of its weight, but its meat is delicious, with high nutritional value and higher protein content than the famous pomfret and hairtail.
In addition, their fish intestines are the top European delicacies, which are both crisp and fragrant. They can make you enjoy the appetite after cooking.
Now Qin Shiou is waiting, waiting for the female fish among these sunfish to breed the eggs.
Female sunfish has super strong reproductive ability. A female fish can produce about 25 million to 300 million eggs at a time, but it dies because some of the eggs cannot be fertilized. Some of the eggs and hatched juvenile fish will be eaten by ferocious fish, and the newly hatched small fish are very fragile. When a storm comes, the storm will also kill some of the young fish.
Therefore, after all kinds of disasters, few people can eventually grow into big fish. Therefore, although sunfish lay a lot of eggs, there are few sunfish in the ocean, which is very rare: out of the 300 million eggs produced by a sunfish, only about 30 can survive until the breeding season.
There are more than fifty sunfishes that appeared in Qin Shiou Fishery this time, which are already very large sunfish. I don’t know where they came from, but they should be a group of people. The big sunfishes hiding in the jellyfish jungle are fish fathers and fish mothers, and the ones chasing jellyfish should be fish grandchildren.
These sunfish are also very smart. When they grow up, they swim slowly and lack self-protection methods. Therefore, they are easily preyed by carnivorous fish. Now they see the giant algae jungle, and they probably come here to serve as a hiding place.
The giant algae jungle can provide concealment and protection for sunfish, while sea snakes, who are not interested in them but have a strong deterrence to carnivorous fish such as sharks, can undoubtedly provide them with protection.
It can be said that the giant algae jungle is the best shelter for sunfish!
What made Qin Shiou even happier was that when he turned the consciousness of the sea god into the yellowfin tuna, he found that this guy was actually leading a female yellowfin tuna. This female yellowfin tuna was pregnant.
What does this mean? It means that as long as Qin Shiou takes protective measures, his fishing ground will soon have a yellowfin tuna group - a female fish has eggs between 2 million and 8 million. As long as it is taken care of properly, at least a few thousand yellowfin tunas can survive in that batch!
According to the minimum price of adult yellowfin tuna of more than 100 kilograms, it can be sold at least 100,000 Canadian dollars, then this is hundreds of millions of Canadian dollars!
For the first time, Qin Shiou realized that as long as he takes good care of the fishing ground, the profitability of the fishing ground is no less than that of ocean treasure hunting.
Of course, yellowfin tuna is not that easy to breed. This kind of fish grows slowly. It takes about ten months to grow from fish roe to three or four kilograms, and it takes more than ten or twenty years to grow to two meters long. It takes more than ten or twenty years to grow at 100 kilograms. It is even slower in Newfoundland fishery where water temperatures are lower.
However, it’s good to have hope, isn’t it? Besides, Qin Shiou also has the golden finger of the sea god consciousness that promotes growth.
The yellowfin tuna couple was originally singing at the bottom of the sea, sang with their wife, holding their swords to the end of the world, and they were waving their heads and tails so quickly.
As a result, as soon as the sea god consciousness came on, Dahuang was stunned and stopped moving. The female yellow fin tuna was shocked and quickly slowed down and ran to her husband.
Qin Shiou was happy. He also controlled the sea god consciousness and the female yellowfin tuna, and then the sea god energy was injected into it. This was a fish mother involved in hundreds of millions of businesses and must ensure its health.
Originally, Qin Shiou planned to let the yellowfin tuna work and brought the black butterfly shell he had found back to the fishing ground. Now, he can only forget it. Rhubarb has more important things to do, that is, protect its wife.
However, Qin Shiou thought that Dahuang might be a father, and it shouldn't be with this female yellowfin tuna for a long time, and this female yellowfin tuna has been pregnant for a while.
Of course, it doesn’t matter. The fish young woman should taste better. Maybe rhubarb is a Cao Cao-style colored fish.
In order to prevent accidents, Qin Shiou asked Dahuang to take his wife to the fishing ground. If you like the deep sea, go to the giant algae jungle. With the guards of the sea python, it is safer than the special forces camp. The sea python is good at fighting and has a highly toxic skill, which is comparable to magical skills. Even a ten-meter-long killer whale has to kneel down!
