My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 530 Astaxanthin

Salmon is not only rich in nutrition, but also has a very profound cultural history.

There are many legends about salmon, and there is a beautiful legend among the Oroqen people living on the banks of the Huma River. It is said that a long, long time ago, people living along the Huma River did not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and their lives were very hard.

One year there was another catastrophe, and the poor people were about to starve to death.

At this moment, a handsome and kind Oroqen youth stepped forward, and he tried to save the people who were suffering here.

He rode on his beloved hunting horse, and after walking a long way, he finally met King Man Khan, and he asked King Khan to help rescue those suffering people by the Huma River.

King Man Khan came to the Huma River in a beautiful big boat, and threw a lot of salt into the river. Immediately, there was a huge wave in the river, and suddenly many big fish appeared. The fish came to grab food Salt.

These salt-eating fish are salmon.

From then on, people living by the Huma River began to catch salmon to eat. The delicious fish not only made them survive the disaster year safely, but also made their life gradually better.

In addition, in the Tang Dynasty, it is said that the king of Tang led his troops to march eastward. During the Bailu season, he was besieged by the enemy on the bank of the Heilongjiang River.

At a critical moment, Li Shimin accepted a minister's suggestion and wrote an urgent memorial to the Jade Emperor, asking the Dragon King of the East China Sea to borrow fish, which was urgently needed. The Jade Emperor issued a decree, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea immediately sent a dragon to deliver fish to the Tang King.

The next day, the soldiers looked at the salmon in the river, cheering and cheering that there were fish to eat.

Horses did not eat fish, but because of hunger, they had to eat fish with people.

After the famine passed, people called salmon "big horse fish" from then on.

Of course, these are just myths and legends, whether true or not, they must have been processed artistically.

But one thing is true.

That is salmon meat, which is really delicious, and not only people love to eat it, but even horses also eat it.

Xiang Yang pondered whether he should chase after him and catch that salmon.

King salmon is famous for its delicious meat and rich nutrition, and has always been regarded as a rare fish.

my country's Heilongjiang is the "hometown of salmon".

As a kind of salmon, salmon is a valuable economic fish in the world. Wild salmon can be sold for thousands of dollars per catty.

Most importantly, salmon contains 5 mg of natural astaxanthin per kg of fish.

Farmed salmon generally cost thirty to forty yuan a catty, because farmed salmon does not contain astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin is the reason why eating salmon has powerful physical effects. If you eat salmon for a long time, it is basically impossible to get heart disease and arteriosclerosis.

Astaxanthin is the strongest antioxidant found. Eskimos who eat wild salmon for a long time basically do not have heart disease, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, etc., and their physical strength is super strong.

Salmon meat has the functions of tonifying deficiency and fatigue, invigorating the spleen and stomach, warming the stomach and harmonizing the stomach, and can cure emaciation, edema, and indigestion.

In addition, the fish body can be canned or dried, salted, smoked and frozen, and it is delicious when cooked by steaming, frying or grilling.

What makes Xiang Yang even more excited is that the salmon is not only delicious, but the roe is more precious.

The roe of salmon is much larger than normal roe, about 7mm in diameter, bright red and transparent in color, like amber, with high nutritional value, and is a good raw material for making caviar.

The salted fish roe is rich in protein and lecithin, which plays an important role in supplementing the nerve cells of the human body and preventing the disorder of fat metabolism, and is known as a good nutrition product.

However, it is very difficult to catch a salmon, especially an adult salmon, in the sea.

Adult salmon are very ferocious, and they will actively attack all creatures within their attack range, even dare to touch the whiskers of sharks.

The juvenile salmon is even more untouchable.

As early as 2017, salmon was listed as an important economically protected fish by our country. It is your skill to catch adult salmon. It is uncomfortable to dare to catch juvenile salmon.

The salmon seemed to have escaped without a trace, but in fact Xiang Yang knew that it was hiding under a jagged reef and was quietly observing him.

Salmon is a very greedy predator and a very poor survivor. They are in an awkward position in the food pyramid. Those stronger than them are basically their natural enemies, astaxanthin It is something that all sea creatures are very eager for, and those who are weaker than them are basically its food.

Xiang Yang glanced at the protective gloves and protective clothing on his hands, struggled for a moment, and finally did not believe Professor Chen Yu.

Although Professor Chen Yu repeatedly emphasized that the diving suit on Xiang Yang's body can resist the bite of sharks, Xiang Yang still felt that being bitten by a salmon would hurt, so Xiang Yang chose to let the salmon go. .

Choosing to ignore the salmon, Xiang Yang continued to search the seabed.

Xiang Yang found that in this seabed, apart from the abundant brain corals, there are only rare salmon, and a few cold-water fish and warm-water fish.

On the contrary, there are a lot of crustaceans such as clam shells in this sea area.

Xiang Yang is not interested in those seafood such as clam shells and scallops, he is going to get a brain flower coral.

"call!"

A huge black shadow swam rapidly from a distance, suddenly it was the male humpback whale among the two humpback whales.

Xiang Yang was a bit out of touch.

Since the addition of killer whales, the two humpback whales generally seldom pester Xiang Yang and Xiang Yang's crew anymore.

That killer whale has now become a tool whale for cleaning the barnacles on the two humpback whales. On the contrary, the killer whale has a lot of barnacles on its body, and Xiang Yang needs to clean it every now and then. .

It has to be said that killer whales are far more intelligent than humpback whales.

Although the humpback whales are stronger in combat, they don't know how to clean each other's barnacles. Sometimes, a small barnacle can kill a humpback whale.

On the contrary, killer whales, although they have the title of God of War of the Sea, have good brains, and their muscles are only auxiliary. They know how to clean up the barnacles on each other's bodies.

Soon, Xiang Yang knew what the male humpback whale was going to do.

A group of salmon came out from various aquatic plants and reefs, gathered together, and fled frantically towards the distance.

Xiang Yang immediately understood that the male humpback whale must have come for the astaxanthin in the salmon.
