My Deep-sea Fishery

Salvador Jorgensen, a marine ecologist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, also said: "In front of killer whales, great white sharks will give up their favorite hunting grounds for fear of avoiding them, and will not return within a year. The whales are just passing by."

The Great Farallon National Marine Sanctuary has even recorded 4 encounters between great white sharks and killer whales.

Scientists and marine biologists observed and analyzed the four incidents and found that great white sharks seem to know that they are not opponents of killer whales.

Not surprisingly, once the orcas show up, the great whites are on the lookout for mere minutes, and they won't return until at least the next season.

In fact, sometimes killer whales just pass by, and the time they stay before and after does not even exceed 10 minutes, and in this short ten minutes, killer whales can "clear away" all the great white sharks in an entire sea area.

As the top predator on the food chain with the killer whale, it is really embarrassing for the great white shark to get mixed up like this.

However, a hero does not suffer immediate losses. Perhaps it is this kind of self-knowledge and the characteristics of shamelessness and life that allow the great white shark to still dominate today.

If all the great white sharks were heroic and heroic to head-to-head with killer whales, I am afraid that the great white shark race would have become extinct long ago.

Among the entire great white shark population, the great white sharks that dare to confront killer whales are really only a very small part. Generally, they are either extremely hungry, or they have already smelled the smell of blood. Stimulated by the smell of blood, their brains go into a frenzy state.

"After the great white shark feels the breath of the killer whale, it will generally flee as far as possible. There is a killer whale moving in the sea behind us. Now these great white sharks have not escaped, or they have already smelled the smell of blood. At present It is in a state of excitement and frenzy, or it is because the black head is now in a state of being alone, not emitting its own scent to announce to the surrounding marine life that this sea area is its territorial waters." Xiang Yang said.

"Wow!"

As Xiang Yang's voice fell, a huge wave suddenly rose from the sea.

A sea fish with a size of more than half a meter was bitten by a huge great white shark, and its body was torn into two parts by the huge bite force of the great white shark. A stream of red liquid quickly spread on the sea surface.

"It turned out to be a wolf fish." Zhang Qicheng exclaimed.

Xiang Yang has also found sea creatures like wolf fish before.

But this wolf fish is not that wolf fish.

This is a sea fish with an ugly appearance and an extremely fierce appearance. Its appearance can make anyone who looks at it have no idea about it after seeing its appearance.

For animals, being ugly is an advantage to some extent. After all, it can fool those who don't know the truth, and make humans feel unappetizing when they first see them.

The wolf fish is a typical example of this kind of ugly fish. It looks like an ugly avatar. After seeing it, most people don’t want to talk about appetite. It’s already awesome if they don’t have nightmares at night.

According to the biological classification, the wolffish belongs to the ray-finned fish class, the order perciformes, the suborder of the blenny, the family of the wolf blenny, and the genus of the wolffish, and belongs to a large-scale predatory fish.

The body length of an adult wolffish can easily exceed 1.2 meters, and the more extreme individuals can even reach a length of 3 meters.

Of course, this length is a bit childish in front of the great white shark.

It's just that the strongest thing about a wolffish is not its size, but its fangs.

In addition to its large size, the wolf fish also has a disproportionately large mouth, and there are two rows of extremely sharp teeth in its large mouth.

The teeth of the wolf fish are even more exaggerated than that of sharks, and it is easy to break gold and bones with one bite.

For gluttonous creatures like wolffish, there is not even any food that they can't eat, as long as their strength can handle it. All kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs, molluscs, gastropods, and even sea urchins and starfish can be chewed and swallowed.

The wolf fish is also called the devil fish of the mixed world.

With its sharp teeth, it has become one of the most adaptable marine creatures to the environment. Wolffish are active in the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, coastal areas and even some freshwater areas. It can be said to be the largest demon king in the ray fin fish class.

Wolffish are very ferocious fish, they will attack all creatures within sight, and their ferocity and viciousness are comparable to great white sharks.

Moreover, wolf fish are not only cruel to other creatures, but also often fight to the death with their "own fish", especially during the breeding season. Because the male-female ratio of wolffish is relatively out of balance, males are under great pressure to find a mate, and they need to defeat other competitors if they want to obtain the right to mate.

"It is said that sea creatures like wolf fish are more loyal to love. Once a male fish beats other competitors and mates with a female fish, they will stay together for life. This is very rare among fish It's happening." Xiang Yang introduced.

In terms of reproductive ability, wolffish is also a relatively strong fish. After mating, a female wolffish can lay about 10,000 eggs at a time. Moreover, the hatching rate of wolf fish eggs is very high, because before the young fish hatch, their parents will take on the responsibility of guarding them, and they will never leave them for four months. But once the juveniles hatch, they're left to survive on their own, whether it's avoiding danger or finding food.

At present, the overall survival and reproduction status of wolffish is quite representative among marine organisms. Whether it is the population size or distribution range, it has maintained a relatively stable situation for many years. Even today, no country has listed it as a protected species. This is probably the protection brought to them by the wolffish's strange and terrifying appearance.

"Wolffish can be regarded as a very ferocious fish, but unfortunately the opponent we met this time was a great white shark, so it died in vain." Li Chao sighed.

"That's not necessarily true." Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "Great white sharks are very ferocious, yes, but if you say that a wolffish is killed by a great white shark, it is dead for nothing. Survival in the ocean up to now is not only based on an ugly appearance, they are also very fierce and aggressive, and they are also very smart. Look, this group of great white sharks killed a wolffish, and the next thing is inevitable It's been a hell of a fight."

Although wolffish do not enjoy the unparalleled reputation and prestige like great white sharks, but they are also large marine predators. They may not be able to defeat great white sharks, because wolffish are also group marine creatures, and their group members must Far exceeds the number of great white shark populations.
