My Deep-sea Fishery

Gao Chuang reminded him several times, but no one dared to fall on his ears.

Poaching in the Ross Sea area, if caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Coming out of the conference room, Xiang Yang was about to go back to his boat through the probe board.

Suddenly, Xiang Yang's ears moved, "What's the sound?"

Not only Xiang Yang heard it, but several captains around also looked down the seabed together. Just now, they seem to have heard a sound like someone scratching the blackboard with their fingernails. The sound was very harsh.

"Fuck."

Looking down to the surface of the sea, Xiang Yang was startled immediately.

He saw that under the boat, there was a dense group of big bugs crawling towards the hull.

Some of these bugs have very smooth back shells and heads that resemble scarabs. They look like farting bugs that have been magnified countless times.

At this time, someone's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "No, this is a big deep-sea louse."

Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and his face immediately became ugly.

The deep-sea louse is the largest animal in the Isopoda of all Arthropoda phylums that have been discovered in the world. It can grow to an average of 30 to 40 centimeters, and individual individuals can even grow to more than one meter. It is simply a small calf. size.

Most of these big deep-sea lice under the boat are lavender, and a small part is light black. Their bodies are flat and have hard scaly calcareous exoskeleton.

"How is it possible? How could there be big deep-sea lice here." Gao Chuang walked over in a hurry, and then stared at the bottom of the sea with a very ugly expression.

Xiang Yang returned to normal after being surprised. He said: "Mr. Gao, the deep sea lice are distributed in oceans all over the world. It is not surprising that they will appear near the waters of New Zealand."

In the past 160 million years, the giant deep-sea louse has hardly changed in shape except for its size becoming smaller and smaller. It is known as a living fossil in the deep sea.

There is almost no market for giant deep-sea lice, so commercial fishers have little interest in these creatures, and even hate them very much, just like grave robbers hate carp bugs.

These big bugs eat and bite almost everything. If left alone, they can even gnaw a big hole out of the bottom of a ship.

In addition, it has been recorded that the deep sea louse can endure eight weeks without eating anything and still maintain its own vital signs.

"Don't stay in this water area, hurry up, this thing eats rotting corpses, and it carries a lot of viruses and bacteria on it. Once it is infected, with the current medical conditions on our ship, the entire fleet will Everyone here has to explain." Gao Chuang just lowered his head and glanced down, and ordered directly.

Although Xiang Yang was a little curious about these big deep-sea lice and wanted to observe again, Gao Chuang's words were not unreasonable. He knew that it was not the time to stay here for a long time, so he nodded quickly and said: "Yes, let's hurry up and go on Sailing south."

"Don't stand on the sidelines and watch, are you looking for death here one by one?" Gao Chuang shouted to the surroundings: "Everyone return to the middle of the deck, and the edges of the deck are all sprinkled with disinfectant, and no deep-sea giant louse is allowed to come in." On the deck." The deep-sea louse has two teams of tentacles, and the structure of the mouth is very complicated, including many parts, which can penetrate into the human body in unison, directly tear the human skin, and pull out its internal organs. insect.

Xiang Yang also gave the same order to the crew on his ship, especially those who stuck their heads out of the ship's side to look at the bottom of the sea. When Xiang Yang caught him, he scolded them.

"Everyone put on protective clothing. If there are giant deep-sea lice crawling onto the deck in a while, you're welcome, just set me on fire with gasoline."

At this time, Xiang Yang saw Fang Youqun holding a harpoon in one hand, looking ready to fight, "Fang Youqun, what are you doing with a harpoon?"

Fang Youqun turned around and shouted: "Brother Yang, don't worry, aren't they just a few big bugs? One will come up in a while, and I will expose one."

Xiang Yang almost laughed angrily at Fang Youqun's words, "Have you seen any lice that can be pierced with a toothpick?"

The deep-sea louse is as flexible as a louse, and when threatened, it will curl up its entire body into a ball to protect itself tightly. The hard armor on its back is indeed no match for a fish. Forks, but there are so many deep-sea giant lice below, how many can be killed with a harpoon?

"Sprinkle the deck with disinfectant, and then pour gasoline on the edge. As long as they climb up, they will be burned immediately. Everyone who has nothing to do with me should go back to the cabin now, and remember to close all the doors and windows." Xiang Yang said loudly. to drink.

The crew immediately drilled towards the cabin.

Soon, only Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng were left on the deck with a few experienced old crew members waiting for them.

"Strange, why do these things appear on the surface of the sea? Shouldn't they usually stay in the deep sea?" Chen Qingsheng wondered.

Eighty percent of the world's deep-sea lice live in the deep sea below 300 meters, and they usually live alone in the mud.

Of course, unlike other deep-sea fish, they can only stay in the deep sea and die as soon as they come out of the water.

The vitality of the deep-sea giant lice is extremely tenacious.

Someone once did an experiment, putting some deep-sea giant lice into a water tank filled with shampoo.

Many shampoos, such as Rejoice and Kang Ting, have the ability to sterilize. Generally, the lice on cats and dogs will die as soon as they touch these shampoos.

But no, these deep-sea giant lice struggled for a long time in the shampoo tank before dying.

Then the experimenter took them out of the water tank in which the shampoo was placed, and after a short while, they started to be alive and kicking again.

The British Ocean Park once imported nine giant deep-sea lice from the United States for display.

From the United States to the United Kingdom, traveling across the ocean, the nine deep-sea giant lice were placed in a box with ice cubes, and none of them died during the process, which shows their tenacious vitality.

"No one knows the specific reason. It is estimated that our fleet has stayed here for too long, and the smell of seafood left on the fleet made them mistakenly think that there are a large number of marine fish corpses on the sea." Xiang Yang said.

Although the deep-sea giant louse likes cold seawater, it just likes it. It is not that it cannot accept normal temperature seawater. It is not like the viper fish that will die when it encounters normal temperature seawater.

Sometimes, on the surface of the sea, a huge whale dies. At this time, a large number of deep-sea giant lice will drill out from the bottom of the sea, and all swim to the surface of the sea to devour and reproduce on the dead whale.
