My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 186 Lionfish

Xiang Yang was in a good mood after putting the white Fuji brain coral into a separate water tank.

"There are thousands of species of creatures on the bottom of the sea. It's not surprising that you can't recognize Fuji brain coral. No one is born able to recognize these things. In the future, you will go to sea more often. If you read more books, you will naturally recognize them. more and more things.”

The crew members nodded one after another, expressing their approval of what Xiang Yang said.

After Xiang Yang caught a top-quality Fuji brain coral, he lost the desire to go to sea again. He took some snacks from the cabin and chatted and ate with the crew on the deck.

Time passed by every minute and every second. During this period, crew members jumped from the deck to the bottom of the sea, and some crew members fished up one or a few beautiful brain corals from the bottom of the sea from time to time.

Unknowingly, there was a small pile of snack packaging bags on the deck.

After eating all the snacks, Xiang Yang got up and patted his butt, ordered the crew on duty to pack up the rubbish, and then called to the crew who came up from the bottom of the sea and were about to jump into the sea one by one, "This time we caught There are already enough brain corals, and if we continue to catch them, it will affect the natural reproduction of brain corals in this sea area. We will leave after a while, remember the location of this sea area, and go down to catch brain corals next time we pass by. "

Hearing Xiang Yang's words, everyone was slightly stunned. There are too many brain corals under this sea area. They think that even if they fish for another three days and three nights, it is impossible to reproduce the population of brain corals under this sea area. As a result, they all felt that Xiang Yang had made a fuss over a molehill in terms of ecological protection.

Of course, even if they think that Xiang Yang is making a fuss over a molehill, they will not object to Xiang Yang's decision.

"Captain, are you closing the net now?" Zhou Wang immediately asked Xiang Yang's words.

"Don't worry, wait until you finish smoking the cigarette, and wait for the brothers who are still at the bottom of the sea to come up, otherwise it will be a great fun if the crew is caught when the net is collected." Xiang Yang Chaogang lit Zhou Wang, who had only smoked a cigarette, laughed.

"Okay." Zhou Wang immediately smiled.

Soon, the crew members who went into the sea boarded the ship one after another.

"Retract the net." Xiang Yang shouted to Zhou Wang who was already standing in front of the winch control switch.

Zhou Wang received Xiang Yang's order and immediately activated the switch of the winch.

"Bah—"

Accompanied by the sound of steel cables rolling, a fine-meshed fishing net was pulled onto the fishing boat by a winch.

"Huh?" Xiang Yang, who had always had a faint smile on his face, suddenly shrank his pupils when he saw the schools of fish in the fishing net, and quickly shouted: "Everyone, step back and don't get close to that fishing net."

The crew members who lined up in two lines and stood on both sides of the fishing net, waiting to clean up the catch, were taken aback. The fishing net was all up, and they couldn't understand why Xiang Yang suddenly issued such an order.

After a while, the fishing net was placed on the deck and bounced everywhere. Wouldn't it be more work for a while to retreat at this time?

"What are you doing in a daze? Everyone backs away." At this time, Chen Qingsheng also saw clearly what was in the fishing net, and he also shrank his pupils, and immediately shouted.

The crew members suddenly woke up and retreated towards both sides of the deck.

"My dear mother!" Zhou Wang turned off the switch of the winch, let the fishing net hang at a height of more than one meter from the deck, and then stared at the small bag of strange fish in the fishing net. , I almost straightened my eyes.

"Brother Yang, Master Zhou, what's the matter with you? Isn't it just a group of small fish the size of a palm, why are you making such a fuss? Could it be that this fish can still eat people?" Fang Youqun squeezed to Xiang Yang's side and asked.

"Hehe." Chen Qingsheng smiled strangely, "You can go over and try if you want to eat or not."

"This is a lionfish, a small fish that can be seen everywhere. It is very common in various rocky reefs and corals, but it is very difficult to catch. I didn't expect that since we directly caught a net." He Mingde smiled wryly.

"Lionfish?" Fang Youqun looked at the strange fish in the fishing net, and said in admiration, "This strange fish has barbs all over its body. It really looks a bit like a lion. Why is this fish dangerous?"

"This fish is actually called lionfish. Lionfish is just a well-known name for it. It is a very toxic marine fish that can adapt to both deep and shallow seas," Xiang Yang said.

"Toxic?" Fang Youqun exclaimed.

"Yes, it's poisonous." Xiang Yang pointed to a lionfish with a flat body, high fins on the back, and long thin spines on the fins, and said: "Have you seen the spines on the backs of these lionfish? These thorns are very poisonous. When they encounter an enemy, they will directly attack the opponent with the thorns. If they are stabbed, the pain will be unimaginable. Although it is not enough to cause death, the wound will 100% festering."

Many crew members were taken aback by Xiang Yang's words, and looked at the strange fish in the fishing net with pale faces.

Especially when they saw that although the spines on those strange fish were thin, some of the poisonous spines were longer than the fish's body and there were a lot of them. Many people felt their scalps go numb for a while.

"Brother Yang, these fish are so terrifying, what should we do with them?" Fang Youqun wondered, "We can't just hang them like this all the time, can we?"

Xiang Yang also had a headache when he saw those lionfish whose body length was between 25 and 40 centimeters, whose body surface was mainly yellow, with red or brown stripes on the body, and transparent fins and tail fins with black spots.

There are 13 poisonous spines on the back of the lionfish, 14 poisonous spines on the pectoral fin, and 6-7 poisonous spines on the anal fin. The whole is a poisonous version of a hedgehog. Go to the deck and let it jump around alive and well, and the crew will definitely be stabbed.

But if he just watched these lionfish dry up and die in the fishing net, Xiang Yang felt unwilling.

Although lionfish are common, their activity depth usually ranges from 1 to 50 meters, but they are not easy to catch. When they swim to shallow seas, they usually inhabit rocky reefs or coral reefs near the coast. , living in aquatic plants, these places have complex terrain, and it is extremely difficult for fishermen to catch it.

As for the deep-sea lionfish?

They usually hide under the sea at a depth of more than 300 meters. It is even more difficult to catch such a small lionfish in such deep water.

Recently, some scientists discovered a lionfish with a length of only 15 centimeters in a deep-sea trench at a depth of 7,700 meters through a deep-sea diving robot.

A lionfish about 15 centimeters can dive to a depth of nearly 10,000 meters. The pressure it must bear cannot be explained by science. Even the scientist who discovered the lionfish can only say a word of admiration from the bottom of his heart. It's simply a miracle of life'.
