My Deep-sea Fishery

Transaction complete.

Xiang Yang sent an invitation to Li Chao and Murong Zhenfei: "Brother Chao, Boss Murong, stay for a light meal before leaving?"

Li Chao shook his head with a smile, "I don't have to eat, I seldom eat at night now, my blood sugar is high."

"But I have something for you." Li Chao said with a smile.

"Oh? Give me something?" Xiang Yang looked at Li Chao curiously. He didn't need anything now, and couldn't figure out why Li Chao suddenly gave him something.

"This time, I came to congratulate you for changing the big boat. The second time, I came to thank you for leaving the bluefin tuna to me. The third time, didn't you give me a marvelous conch today? Reciprocity is called friendship, you If you don't accept it, then you are hypocritical." Li Chao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiang Yang laughed, and said, "Could it be another bar? When I bought my first boat, you gave me a bottle of Moutai dragon wine."

"Don't worry, not this time."

Li Chao yelled towards the truck, "Bring the things up."

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows. He noticed Li Chao's words, and looked towards the pier curiously. He wanted to see what kind of thing it was, but unexpectedly used the word "lift".

On the other side of the truck, two of Li Chao's employees lifted a fish tank out of the truck with great difficulty.

Xiang Yang snorted, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Chao, the gift you gave me is a fish?"

"Look first before you talk." Li Chao said mysteriously.

Xiang Yang waited for the fish tank to be lifted up, then lowered his head and took a look inside.

With just one glance, Xiang Yang was fascinated by the contents of the fish tank.

This is a sea tank.

A sea tank with a mix of styles.

The creatures in the fish tank have beautiful body colors, strange shapes, and rich colors that cannot be described in words.

Xiang Yang thought that he already had a lot of knowledge, but he was still dumbfounded when he saw this sea tank, and now there was only one thought in his mind.

Fuck, fish can look so good-looking.

God, there are such beautiful creatures on the earth!

"Do you know what this is?" Li Chao asked with a smile.

Xiang Yang raised his head and said, "Is this a nudibranch?"

Although Xiang Yang was asking, his tone was very certain.

Nudibranchs are the collective name for all molluscs in the order Nudibranchs. Although their body length is only about ten centimeters, they have the richest and most magnificent body colors in the world. They are praised by countless people who pursue beauty as "biological gems" or "Sea Gem".

Xiang Yang stared at a nudibranch that looked like a giant snail for a while.

It has a whole body of royal blue, with purple lace on its body, and a pink transparent volute-like thing on its back. At first glance, its two corners have a blue background, but if you look closely, you will find that there is still a deep black, and there are scattered spots on it. Like fluorescent powder-like dots.

"You actually know about nudibranchs?" Li Chao asked in surprise.

Xiang Yang smiled, "Nudibranchs are widely distributed in all oceans, especially in warm shallow waters. Of course I know this kind of creature."

"Okay." Li Chao said depressedly: "I thought I could give you a surprise, but I was surprised for a long time when I saw the nudibranch for the first time."

"You can keep these nudibranchs on your boat as decorations." Li Chao pointed to the sea tank and said, "Don't think that because the nudibranchs are beautiful, they must be spoiled. In fact, these colorful little Elves have extremely tenacious vitality, and they are not very picky about the environment, as long as they are in a saltwater environment, they can grow."

Xiang Yang nodded, he knew this.

Although this is also the first time that Xiang Yang has seen a living nudibranch, Xiang Yang has read in books that nudibranchs can grow very large and beautiful as long as they are in clear water and warm sunlight. He is the real sea elf in the hearts of countless people.

Because of this, people often pass off other creatures as nudibranchs in the market.

Nudibranchs are actually quite recognizable.

The diameter of the eyes of nudibranchs is generally only a quarter of a millimeter. The structure is very simple, and it is really a small point from the outside.

The internal structure of its eyes is also very simple, usually only has crystals and 5 photoreceptors, they can only simply distinguish between day and night, and are invisible to specific objects.

They perceive things around them with two sets of antennae, head antennae and rod antennae.

The antennae on the head are very sensitive to touch and taste.

The rod-like tentacles are used for odor detection.

The back of the nudibranch must have gill feathers protruding from the body, which are its respiratory organs, the effect is the same as the feathers of the Christmas tree worm, and that is the most important way to distinguish whether a creature is a nudibranch or not.

Although some sea creatures are not nudibranchs, because of the same bright colors on their bodies, they are often brought to the market by unscrupulous traders as nudibranchs.

Therefore, when you want to identify whether a marine creature is a nudibranch, you can’t just rely on color to identify it. The gill feathers protruding from the back are the most reliable signs of nudibranchs.

Of course, the sea tank nudibranchs that Li Chao gave to Xiang Yang definitely do not need to be identified, these are all fake nudibranch marine creatures.

Xiang Yang stared at the sea tank for a while.

Li Chao smiled and asked, "How is it? Do you like it?"

Xiang Yang nodded, "I like it, but Brother Chao, you should take it back."

"What?" Li Chao asked.

Xiang Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Most nudibranchs are carnivorous, and there are too many species in the tank you gave me, and the feeding habits of various nudibranchs are also different. Look at this pink one, this one It should only eat sponges. Look at this sky blue one. If I’m not mistaken, it should only eat hydrozoans. Some nudibranchs only eat external anal animals or urochordates. This is a fishing boat, if I raise such a group of things on the boat, then I won't have to work in the future."

"It's not that troublesome." Li Chao said with a smile: "There are special fish food, and barnacles and sea anemones are also their favorite snacks."

Speaking of sea anemones, Xiang Yang remembered a video he had seen in college of nudibranchs preying on giant sand anemones.

The sand anemone is a powerful guardian of clownfish and sea anemone shrimp. It has a circle of poisonous tentacles that can spray venom outwards. Ordinary marine life dare not provoke such terrifying creatures as the sand anemone.

If a marine creature is unfortunately attacked by a sand anemone, it will be anesthetized, or it will die directly. Few marine creatures will take the initiative to challenge the sand anemone, but the nudibranchs that feed on sea anemones are obviously is a special case.

Xiang Yang remembered that in that video, a nudibranch stared at a sea anemone for a long time, and then quietly lurked towards the sand group of sea anemones.

It took the nudibranch nearly an hour to dive to the roots of the sand anemone.
