Golden Fishery

At the end of June, the weather is already very hot.

After dinner, Qin Shiou returned to the bedroom and opened the window first. The villa has air conditioners, but he has never used it once. The sea breeze at night is so cool and gentle, and it is much more comfortable to blow on the body than the chilly air conditioner.

Because of the hot weather, Tiger Leopard and Xiong Da haven't slept in the bedroom this month. They have already moved their dens under the maple tree.

But tonight, the four little guys including Dabai ran back to the bedroom early, wagging their tails and waiting for Qin Shiou, fearing that he would disappear again.

Qin Shiou comforted the four little ones to sleep like a child, and Dabai slipped into Xiong Da's arms, neither of them too hot.

After going to bed, Qin Shiou went to the sea to have a look. He remembered that he hadn't paid attention to the sea area of ​​the chemical plant for a long time. After going there, he found that it had become a paradise for giant algae.

A strip of giant algae that is more than ten meters or even tens of meters long sticks to the reefs in the offshore waters, brown or greenish brown in color, and slowly sways with the waves, like a giant python.

This is only in the offshore waters. The living space of the giant algae is not enough, and it cannot grow too large. If it continues to advance to the depths of the ocean, when the water depth is four to five hundred meters away, the growth of the giant algae will be even more terrifying.

Giant algae in deep sea waters can even grow up to three or four hundred meters. Their roots are caught on the bottom of the sea, and a trunk pierces through the seawater like a sharp sword, rushing straight to the surface of the water.

There are hundreds of twig-like stalks growing on this large giant algae, and leaves grow on the stalks. Some leaves are more than two meters long and 20 centimeters wide. They spread out and float in the ocean, occupying a large area of ​​water. , continuously providing oxygen for seawater and nutrients for plankton.

Macroalgae can float in seawater because of the air sacs on their leaves. The air sacs can generate enough buoyancy to lift the leaves and even the entire algal body of the macroalgae. These air sacs are regularly arranged on both sides of the main veins on the leaves, maintaining the balance of the macroalgae in the water.

Now, with the sea area around the chemical plant as the core, macroalgae has become a tyrant in the sea. Qin Shiou still underestimated the influence of the sea god's consciousness on the giant algae. Under the catalysis of this energy, the giant algae broke through the growth limit. In ordinary seas, the giant algae of two hundred meters is rare, but here, there are many three hundred to four hundred meters.

This overlord. It was Qin Shiou who welcomed him, and he even had an idea that instead of developing coral reefs, he would instead develop kelp forests and turn his fishing ground into an Amazon in the ocean.

Macroalgae can do the same with coral reefs. Provide shelter for fish, and it also has the incomparable advantages of coral reefs, that is, it can provide oxygen and nutrients.

feel the sea god consciousness,

A series of ferocious sea snakes wandered over. It is no longer appropriate to say that they are sea snakes, it is better to say that they are sea snakes.

The leading sea snake is nearly ten meters long, with colorful body, cold eyes and sharp fangs. It is like the king in the giant algae forest, looking down upon the world.

But in the sea god consciousness, the sea snakes have a very gentle temperament. They rolled and flipped in the water, following the Seagod's consciousness and wandering in the giant algae forest, like loyal guards.

After Qin Shiou used the sea god to scare those who wanted to clean up the giant algae in the chemical plant, he ignored them. He wanted them to fend for themselves, thinking that these sea snakes would leave the sea area. Going down the warm current to somewhere like the Gulf of Mexico.

As a result, the sea snakes stayed here. The Snake King commanded his subordinates to control this vast kelp forest, as if it was Qin Shiou's garrison here. Guard this piece of territorial waters for him.

The giant algae attracts a large number of small fish to live, and the sea snakes feed on these small fish, and they live happily.

Feeling the loyalty of the sea snakes to him, Qin Shiou was a little moved, but also a little worried. These sea snakes are too big and poisonous. What if they hurt people in the future?

He can only communicate with these sea snakes with the sea god consciousness, try not to go ashore during the day, and don't harm other lives except fish.

Although he doesn't like sea snakes very much, Qin Shiou doesn't like to hurt them even more. These sea snakes are loyal to him. If he regards himself as the sea god, then this sea snake—maybe to be renamed the sea snake—legion is the sharp blade in the hands of the sea god .

After appeasing the sea pythons, Qin Shiou was about to leave, but he encountered several large fish with taupe sides and silver-gray ventral sides.

These fish are all more than 1.5 meters long, and one is even more than 2 meters long. They are ugly and weird, with flat sides, two bright eyes and a small mouth on their heads, and a long back and abdomen. It has a tall, long dorsal and anal fin, and at the rear of the body, a lace-trimmed caudal fin.

From the appearance, this kind of fish looks like a big dish, with short body and thick sides, small head, small mouth, short caudal fin, no pelvic fin, and no fish tail, so it looks like it was cut off with a knife The lower body is the same.

"Sunfish?" Qin Shiou looked at him curiously.

A few big fish were swimming clumsily and lazily in the sea water. The sea pythons were not afraid when they approached. They looked with their bright small eyes and continued to nibble 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 in the sea that are easier to prey and digest as food, and the sunfish are too thick for them to eat at all.

The two sides passed by each other, and the well water does not violate the river water.

Qin Shiou returned to his fishing ground and found that there were also sunfish in the fishing ground, but they were smaller than those in the kelp jungle, chasing jellyfish to eat.

Although the large sunfish moved slowly, these small fish were very active, but to be honest, they were so ugly that Qin Shiou felt that if these fish were conscious, they would definitely cry because of 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 for the many jellyfish in his fishing ground, so as long as a batch of sunfish is raised, all problems will be solved.

Breeding sunfish is also good. Their economic value is relatively high. In addition to scientific research and viewing, it is also a rare edible fish.

This kind of fish has a disadvantage, that is, it has more bones and less meat. After peeling, the fish meat is less than 1/10 of its body weight, but its meat is delicious. The nutritional value is high, and the protein content is higher than that of the famous pomfret and hairtail.

Plus, their fish sausages are a top European delicacy, crispy and flavorful. Just one meal will whet your appetite.

Now Qin Shiou is waiting, waiting for the female fish among these sunfish to breed eggs.

The reproductive capacity of the female sunfish is super strong. A female fish can lay about 25-300 million eggs at a time, but some of the eggs die because they cannot be fertilized, and some of the eggs and hatched young fish will be killed by ferocious fish. Eaten, plus the hatchlings are very vulnerable. When a storm comes, the stormy sea will also kill some juvenile fish.

Therefore, after all kinds of disasters, not many can grow into big fish in the end, so. Although sunfish lay a lot of eggs, there are very few sunfish in the ocean, and they are very rare: of the 300 million eggs laid by a single sunfish, only about 30 survive to the breeding season.

This time, there were about 50 sunfish in the Qin Shiou fishing ground, which is already a huge school of sunfish. I don't know where they came from, they should be a group. Those giant sunfish hiding in the kelp jungle are the father and mother fish, and the ones chasing the jellyfish should be caviar and grandchildren.

These sunfish are also very smart. When they grow up, they swim slowly and lack self-protection means. So it is easy to become the prey of carnivorous fish. Now that I saw the giant algae forest, I guess they came here specially as a hiding place.

Kelp thickets can provide sunfish with concealment and protection, while sea snakes, which are not interested in them but have a strong deterrent effect on predatory fish such as sharks, can undoubtedly provide them with protection.

It can be said that the giant algae forest is the best shelter for sunfish!

What made Qin Shiou even happier. When he transferred the sea god consciousness to the yellowfin tuna, he found that this guy was actually leading a female yellowfin tuna. And this female yellowfin tuna is pregnant.

what does that mean? It means that as long as Qin Shiou takes protective measures, his fishery will soon have a population of yellowfin tuna—a female fish can hold between 2 and 8 million eggs. With proper care, that batch of at least a few thousand yellowfin tuna can survive!

Based on the fact that an adult yellowfin tuna weighing more than 100 kilograms can sell for 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 the fishery is taken care of properly, the fishery's ability to make money is no less than that of ocean treasure hunting.

Of course, yellowfin tuna is not so easy to raise. This kind of fish grows slowly. It takes about ten months to grow from roe to three to four kilograms, and it takes more than ten or twenty years to grow to two meters long and 100 kilograms. And in Newfoundland, where the water is cooler, it's even slower.

But it's good to have hope, isn't it? What's more, Qin Shiou also has the growth-promoting golden finger of Sea God Consciousness.

The yellow fin tuna couple was singing and dancing with their husbands and swords at the bottom of the sea, and the one wandering around shaking their heads and tails was a joy.

As a result, as soon as Seagod's consciousness rose, Rhubarb stopped moving in a daze, and the female yellowfin tuna was shocked, and quickly slowed down and ran to her husband's side.

Qin Shiou was very happy, he controlled the sea god's consciousness to control the female yellowfin tuna, and then injected the sea god's energy into it. This is a mother fish that involves hundreds of millions of business, so its health must be guaranteed.

Originally, Qin Shiou planned to let the yellowfin tuna go to work and bring back the black butterfly shell he discovered before to the fishing ground, but now it seems that he can only forget it. Rhubarb has more important things to do, and that is to protect his wife.

However, Qin Shiou felt that Rhubarb might be happy to be a father. It should not have been long with this female yellowfin tuna, and this female yellowfin tuna has been pregnant for a while.

Of course, it doesn't matter, the taste of fish young women should be better, maybe rhubarb is a Cao Cao-style fish.

In order to prevent accidents, Qin Shiou asked Rhubarb to take his wife to the fishing ground. If you like the deep sea, go to the giant algae forest. There are sea python guards guarding it. It is safer than the special forces barracks. Skill, even a ten-meter-long killer whale has to kneel down!
