My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 168 Amphioxus

Zhang Qicheng and He Mingde's eyesight at the bottom of the sea was far inferior to that of Xiang Yang's. In addition, the bottom of the sea was pitch black at night, so they didn't see the scene of the swimming crab digging a hole just now.

Now seeing Xiang Yang swimming straight to the beach, both of them feel very strange.

He Mingde is a little better, he has seen Xiang Yang's ability with his own eyes, and knows that there must be a reason for Xiang Yang to do so.

Zhang Qicheng was really puzzled, he wanted to ask questions, but even if he asked Xiang Yang under the sea, he couldn't hear him, so he had no choice but to follow behind Xiang Yang to see what Xiang Yang wanted to do.

Xiang Yang swam to the beach and pondered for a moment.

Then Xiang Yang stretched out one hand to He Mingde, and pointed the other finger at the speargun in He Mingde's hand.

He Mingde understood immediately, and handed the spear gun in his hand to Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang didn't directly aim at the bottom of the beach with his speargun, Xiang Yang wanted to catch this swimming crab alive.

So Xiang Yang pointed the sharp end of the speargun upwards, and used the other end to pull the sand from the sea.

He Mingde and Zhang Qicheng became even more puzzled after seeing Xiang Yang's actions. They didn't understand what Xiang Yang wanted to do, but they soon knew.

I saw Xiang Yang paw and pull on the beach a few times, and suddenly stretched out a pair of big pliers from under the sea sand.

Zhang Qicheng was taken aback and trembled all over.

He Mingde was surprised and delighted, he recognized it, this is the leader of the group of swimming crabs who were scared away by Zhang Qicheng before.

Swimming crab caught the speargun with a pair of tongs and found something was wrong, and tried to escape again.

But where can Xiang Yang give it another chance to escape?

As soon as Xiang Yang bent down, he stretched out his hand and pressed down from the top of the swimming crab to hold down its carapace.

He Mingde gave Xiang Yang a thumbs up, and immediately applauded. Xiang Yang's operation He Mingde was really convinced.

Zhang Qicheng danced with joy, and he also recognized the swimming crab. He was sorry that such a big swimming crab ran away like this. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yang caught it back in a blink of an eye, and he quickly swam to Xiangyang. Yang's side, begging Xiang Yang for the swimming crab.

Zhang Qicheng had no objection if he wanted to hold Xiang Yang, so he handed the swimming crab to Zhang Qicheng directly. Anyway, Xiang Yang didn't believe that Zhang Qicheng would be greedy for his swimming crab.

Zhang Qicheng couldn't put it down when he got the half-kilo swimming crab from Xiang Yang's hand. He put the swimming crab in front of his eyes and turned it over and over again. Zhang Qicheng has handled such swimming crabs in his life. I don't know how many, but only this one The only meaning is different. This is the swimming crab he saw under the sea. Zhang Qicheng has already decided that he will buy this swimming crab no matter what, and he will take it home to raise it.

The only regret is that this swimming crab was caught by Xiang Yang, not Zhang Qicheng.

After playing with the swimming crab for a while, Zhang Qicheng's eyes became sharper, and he made up his mind to catch a swimming crab himself no matter what.

Seeing the change in Zhang Qicheng's face, Xiang Yang was speechless, isn't it just a swimming crab? At the beginning, I was so happy that I couldn’t find the north, so I didn’t talk about it. Why does it seem like a strong man is gone forever?

As for what?

Xiang Yang quickly snatched the swimming crab from Zhang Qicheng's hand and put it into his net pocket, he was afraid that Zhang Qicheng would go crazy if he stared at the swimming crab again.

The swimming crab in his hand was snatched by Xiang Yang. Zhang Qicheng came back to his senses. He smiled embarrassedly, then stared at the seabed beach under his feet and searched carefully inch by inch. Zhang Qicheng remembered very clearly that just now The swimming crab was dug out by Xiang Yang from the bottom of the beach. He felt that since one swimming crab could be hidden under the beach, the second one would definitely be hidden.

The result is naturally obvious, the swimming crabs fleeing in all directions did not happen to hide under the same beach.

Xiang Yang asked Zhang Qicheng to search for a while and then patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to continue to follow him.

Zhang Qicheng, who did not find the swimming crab, was very depressed, probably because he also knew that it would be useless to search any further, so he was very straightforward and decided to follow Xiang Yang to look elsewhere, but before he left, he kicked the sand under his feet hard. foot.

As a result, Xiang Yang and He Mingde were stunned when Zhang Qicheng stepped down.

Even Zhang Qicheng himself was stunned, his eyes widened suddenly.

It turned out that when Zhang Qicheng stepped down, a strange fish with a long flat body and two pointed ends no longer than the length of a finger was kicked out from under the beach by his kick.

That strange fish was also interesting. After being kicked by Zhang Qicheng and flew a few meters away, it didn't run away immediately. Instead, it tried its best to drill under the fine white sea sand again until most of its body was buried under the beach. Then he stopped, leaving only a very small part of his body out of the sand.

"Could it be an amphioxus?" Xiang Yang was startled, and quickly swam towards the mysterious strange fish.

Zhang Qicheng obviously recognized the identity of the strange fish, his expression changed, and he swam over quickly.

The searchlight shone on the mysterious strange fish, and Xiang Yang finally confirmed that it was indeed an amphioxus.

Amphioxus was once a very rare ingredient. Its exquisite taste was sought after by countless people. At its craziest time, there was even a saying that there was a catty of Wenchang four catty abalone in the seafood market. Later, because it was too nutritious and delicious It was caught almost extinct by fishermen, and now it has been listed in the ranks of national protected animals, and its rarity is even comparable to that of the yellow-lipped fish.

After Xiang Yang recognized the identity of this strange fish, he was not surprised why it was kicked away by Zhang Qicheng before.

Amphioxus is a cephalochord in the marine primordials, and it is also the only cephalochordate found in the entire ocean so far. Its skeleton axis is composed of a complete elastic notochord without joints, which makes it Its body can bend freely.

They often like to bend their bodies into a spring and bury them in the sea sand. When encountering prey or danger, they will spring up instantly like a spring, and then hunt or escape quickly.

It is worth mentioning that there is no obvious difference between the shape of the head and the trunk of amphioxus, and the brain vesicles formed by the expansion of the front of the neural tube are shorter than the notochord supporting the body, which makes its head not obvious. When discovered by humans, it is often mistaken for a headless fish.

In fact, amphioxus is not even a fish at all. A real fish must meet three conditions. One is a vertebrate that lives in water all its life. .

Amphioxus does not meet any of these three conditions. It not only has no spine, but also does not have a real upper and lower crocodile.

Although the amphioxus didn't look injured after being kicked by Zhang Qicheng, Xiang Yang couldn't be sure if it was injured internally. To be conservative, Xiang Yang decided to take it ashore to observe for a while.
