My Deep-sea Fishery

In 1984, a very strange thing happened in the United States.

The water residents living in Francisco Bay are disturbed by an ear-shattering hum every night, making it impossible to sleep.

At first, the locals thought it was the sound of water pumps or underwater generators.

As a result, when the locals raised funds to ask people to go underwater to see it, they did not see any water pumps or underwater generators at all, and as long as someone went underwater, the annoying buzzing sound disappeared immediately, and people As soon as it comes up, the voice will immediately sound again.

This is just great.

Thresh is haunted.

Needless to say.

The Heavenly King and Lao Tzu are also haunted when they come.

The locals moved overnight and fled the town.

In fact, that buzzing sound is made by a fish.

In 1991, that matter continued to ferment, and things got bigger and bigger.

The United States had no choice but to send troops and scientific research teams to investigate and confirm.

As a result, the results of the investigation came out, and the popularity of the army was bad.

It turned out that the sound was a kind of local fish living on the bottom of the sea vigorously agitating its swim bladder and courting with sound.

Coincidentally, in a shallow bay in Sri Lanka, when night falls and everything is silent, tourists can often clearly hear the melodious sound coming from the bottom of the water, just like the organ playing described in ancient Greek mythology The sound, that is actually the fish singing.

The only difference from Francisco Bay is that the locals in Sri Lanka did not regard this sound as a supernatural event, and vigorously developed tourism according to local conditions. Now Repulse Bay in Sri Lanka is a very popular tourist attraction.

Xiang Yang put on his diving suit again, "You guys wait on the boat, I'll go down and see what kind of fish makes such a loud noise, it's making noise under the sea, and my ears vibrate even on the surface of the water."

Chen Qingsheng was taken aback by Xiang Yang's words, "No, captain, please don't."

"I want to open up!" Zhang Qicheng also grabbed Xiang Yang's arm, "If you can make such a loud voice, you must also know how big the other party is? If you go down, eighty percent, no, ten percent will be high not coming."

"I guess it's a sea monster." Fang Youqun laughed.

While wearing a diving suit, Xiang Yang said with a smile: "Fish have many organs, including upper and lower jaws, throat teeth, fins, swim bladders, and air sacs. The vocalization mechanism of fish can be divided into rubbing vocalization and swimbladder vocalization It makes sound with inhalation and exhaust, and the sound it makes is very loud, just like frogs and cicadas, it’s not as small as a palm, and the sound it makes can be heard a mile away.”

"I also guess that the fish making noise below is not big." Xia Pengjie said.

"What is the basis?" Xiang Yang asked him.

Xia Pengjie pointed to the killer whale playing behind the boat and said, "Because of that guy, there must be no emotion of fear."

Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, but he was slightly disappointed in his heart. He also thought Xia Pengjie was relying on knowledge.

But it's also good to know how to observe carefully.

Friction sounding refers to fish making sounds by rubbing hard parts of their bodies against each other, such as rubbing throats, teeth, gill covers, and fins.

Swim bladder vocalization refers to the fish making sounds by the vibration of the swim bladder.

The sound of inhalation and exhaust is produced by some fish through sucking action, and a small number of fish can make a huge sound at the moment of swallowing sea water.

The fish generation system and mechanism are slowly formed by fishes in the long-term natural selection process. Some fishes use sound to gather groups, transmit information, ask for help, courtship,

Some fish use sound waves to detect location and find food.

Other fish, such as killer whales, use sound to intimidate their enemies.

Xiang Yang briefly introduced the vocalization methods of some fishes to the crew, and then said: "At the beginning of the 19th century, the geographer Alexander Humbert wrote that on the night of February 20, 1803, all the crew members were killed by a kind of It was the first time that humans heard the sound of a fish on record. In fact, what they heard was the sound of a fish called drum fish. .”

Xiang Yang jumped into the sea.

The killer whale swam over immediately, with its big head facing Xiang Yang, and its eyeballs rolling around.

Xiang Yang patted the killer whale's head, then swam to the bottom of the water, and turned his head to signal the killer whale to follow.

soon.

Xiang Yang went down to the bottom of the sea, and found the weird one that could make sound in a very dense seaweed bush.

right.

strange fish.

A very strange fish.

Xiang Yang tried all the words in his mind, but he couldn't find a word to describe that strange fish perfectly.

The fish is not big, about 30 centimeters long, but its body is very wide, the width is almost two-thirds of the length, and it looks very fat, just like the one in the cartoon Little Carp Adventures Like a fat catfish.

What's interesting is that the fish's forehead and body are covered with patterns one by one. It has a sky blue background, but the patterns are an indescribable color. There are black patterns and dark blue patterns. The pattern also has a sky blue that is lighter than the base color.

Its lips are very thick, its mouth is very wide, its two eyes are symmetrically above its mouth, it is staring at Xiang Yang without blinking, to be precise, it is staring at the killer whale behind Xiang Yang, The mouth was slightly opened, revealing two small white canine teeth, and the body was trembling.

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "This fish should also be called a sea toad, right? It was the one that made the deafening noise just now?"

Xiang Yang swam towards the fish.

The fish didn't look at Xiang Yang at all, and still stared at the killer whale without blinking. When it closed its mouth, its body trembled even more.

Xiang Yang stretched out his hand, and grabbed the sea toad in his hand.

"They're all called toad fish. This sea toad is much prettier than that stone fish." Xiang Yang smiled and teased the sky-blue sea toad. Looking at Xiang Yang, he looked cute and cute.

Xiang Yang looked at the fish carefully, and found that there was a row of sky-blue whiskers under his mouth.

The beard of the sea toad is as weird as its appearance,

Its beard is very long, each about two or three centimeters long.

And each of its beards is very thick and fleshy.

The weirdest thing is that its beards have different shapes. Some have normal beards with a wide heel and a pointed top, and some have a lot of branches growing in the middle, as if a row of Christmas trees were planted on the chin.

"It's really a strange fish, bring it up for everyone to see." Xiang Yang smiled, put the sea toad into the net bag, and then swam towards the sea.
