My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 311 Basking Shark

Fang Youqun climbed onto the deck, he held the net bag and said triumphantly: "Caught two."

Xiang Yang looked at him speechlessly, "You just caught two shrimps and came up?"

The starfish is very loyal to love, a male and a female are always in pairs, and Fang Youqun only caught two starfish, which means he found a pair of starfish and went ashore immediately.

"In addition to starfish, I actually caught some other things." Fang Youqun said rather embarrassedly. In fact, he was really not lazy, mainly because he thought the starfish shrimp looked very strange, and he couldn't help showing off to everyone when he caught two, so he only caught two and surfaced. He didn't expect to be caught by Xiang Yang. Got caught.

Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun's net bag, and was even more speechless. This guy actually picked up a dozen scallops from the bottom of the sea.

More than a dozen scallops seem to be a lot, but in fact there are no eggs and big lumps of meat.

As for selling money, scallops on the beach are really worthless, a few yuan a catty, and no one buys them at all.

There is no meat to eat, and it is worthless to sell it. Xiang Yang doesn't understand what Fang Youqun is doing with these things.

"I caught this before. I didn't find valuable seafood such as crabs and lobsters before. I only found these scallops." Fang Youqun said rather embarrassedly: "One or two scallops are worthless, but as long as you fish them Twenty or thirty catties is enough to catch a hundred yuan, hehe."

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, letting Fang Youqun understand the meaning.

Fang Youqun laughed and said, "Brother Yang, are these starfishes worth much? Are the two I caught worth a hundred yuan?"

"Enough." Xiang Yang affirmed.

"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed across Fang Youqun's face.

"The market price of starfish shrimp ranges from three to five hundred yuan a pair to four to five thousand yuan a pair. We are the place of origin. Except for some of the really good quality, otherwise we wholesale it regardless of quality. It can be counted as a pair of 300 yuan, try to go down and catch more, maybe you can get the top three in the total catch value of this diving fishing competition." Xiang Yang encouraged.

Fang Youqun's eyes lit up, and he quickly handed the net bag to the crew on the deck, then picked up an empty net bag and walked to the edge of the deck.

Xiang Yang smiled. He watched Fang Youqun go into the water, and waited patiently on the deck for other crew members to come up.

Starfish shrimp is a creature with a very high sociology. They generally like to live in groups. There is a lot of sea sand in this sea area, which is very suitable for the growth of starfish.

Under the premise that there are enough starfish as food, the starfish prawns reproduce very quickly. Xiang Yang has to wait on the deck for the crew to come up and pass on the task of catching starfish prawns.

Although starfish shrimp are hard to find, once you find them, you will definitely catch one. Catching a starfish shrimp is much more valuable than catching a lobster or swimming crab of the same size.

Xiang Yang asked the crew for the net bag that Fang Youqun brought up, and got two starfish shrimps out of the net bag.

The starfish shrimp is really fierce. It is still restless in the hands of Xiang Yang, who is many times larger than it in size. Its five pairs of legs do not struggle like ordinary lobsters, so it goes down vertically freely, but two But the big pliers danced vigorously, as if they wanted to give Xiang Yang a hard blow.

"Captain, be careful, don't be bitten by this shrimp." The crew reminded Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang smiled, let go of his hand and threw the starfish shrimp into the water tank.

After all the crew members surfaced once, Xiang Yang told everyone about the starfish shrimp, and then he went into the water again.

After entering the water, Xiang Yang leisurely swam at the bottom of the water, without the trouble of finding the starfish shrimp.

He positioned himself very clearly. He was only responsible for finding valuable seafood and capturing samples. As for large-scale arrests, that was the responsibility of the crew.

Xiang Yang swam around the bottom of the water. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked in a direction. There was a super big fish in that direction, which was at least three or four meters long by visual inspection.

"Great white shark?" Xiang Yang felt his heart beat violently. If he encountered a great white shark at the bottom of the sea, it would definitely be very, very bad news.

Xiang Yang hurriedly looked in that direction, and through the mysterious jade shell, Xiang Yang, whose vision was almost as good as a 16x mirror, finally saw the whole picture of the fish clearly.

The fish is more than four meters long and has a concave jaw. Its mouth is about half a meter wide when it is hunting for food. It has relatively long and very obvious gill slits on its head, and those gill slits almost surround the whole fish. The head of the fish looks very scary.

Its eyes are very thin, like mung beans, and its teeth are in the shape of hooks. Each one is only about 4-6 mm long, which is not as long as Xiangyang's own front teeth, and its teeth are very rare. There are only three teeth in the upper jaw, and the lower jaw It seems that there are only six or seven teeth, just like an old fish with old teeth.

Xiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, he has recognized the real identity of this fish, basking shark!

The basking shark is huge and is often mistaken for the great white shark. In fact, the basking shark is very different from the great white shark. The great white shark has sharp and hard teeth like daggers, but the basking shark does not.

The basking shark is one of the largest known sharks, second only to the whale shark in terms of size. The largest basking shark specimen comes from a basking shark that was entangled in a herring net in the Bay of Fundy, Canada in 1851. Its total length reaches 12.27. meters, weighing 19 tons, almost a whale.

The basking shark that Xiang Yang saw was very majestic. It opened its mouth near the water surface and swallowed all the fish and shrimp along the way in a very ostentatious manner. It's like playing with prey.

In fact, Xiang Yang knew that these were all illusions.

Basking sharks are not doing this to show off, but they can only hunt like this.

Moreover, the swimming speed of the basking shark is very slow, and because there are only a few small and sparse teeth, it is not aggressive at all.

It is worth mentioning that the fossil record of basking sharks can be traced back to the middle Eocene, and they were distributed all over the world in ancient times.

The basking shark was once considered a sea monster.

The corpses of many large mysterious marine creatures discovered in the past were initially believed to belong to sea snakes or plesiosaurs. Later, scientists discovered through investigation and research that the corpses were actually pieces of decomposed basking sharks.

At the end of the twentieth century, a giant shark appeared on the coast of a small Belgian town, terrifying the tourists nearby.

In fact, basking sharks do not attack humans. Although they are big, they are very docile because they have no teeth. Although they have a big mouth, they never actively hunt for food like great white sharks.
