My Deep-sea Fishery

Although most krill after death, if they are not handled properly, they will carry a very strong toxin, but because it is too large in number and very nutritious, it is still considered as a potential food source for humans.

Especially Antarctic krill, which can provide a large amount of vitamin A to the human body, and the quantity is very rich. According to incomplete statistics of the United Nations, the annual output can reach 500,000 tons, and the total amount exceeds 100 billion tons. It is the largest food warehouse for humans in the future. .

Of course, because today's fishing technology is not advanced enough, it is difficult for Antarctic krill to be transported back to the shore fresh, so krill is not used as human rations most of the time, but as an important food resource or aquatic product for pets. The main feed for the aquaculture industry.

Especially in our country, because our country's ocean fishing industry started late, many technologies can't keep up with other big fishery countries in the world, and the number of Antarctic krill caught every year is even rarer.

Of course, this is also related to our country's strong environmental awareness.

Like Russia, their ocean fishing technology is also very advanced, but because countries around the world fished Antarctic krill in Antarctica in the 1980s and 1990s, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of Antarctic krill, Russia announced that it would abandon the business of fishing krill.

Prior to this, Russia was the largest Antarctic krill fishing, with an annual catch of more than 100,000 tons.

However, it is worth mentioning that Antarctic krill cannot be directly fed to cats and dogs as pet food.

Antarctic krill contains more salt than ordinary shrimp, and the taste is more salty. Cats and dogs are generally not suitable for eating too much salt.

If it is to be consumed by humans, the shell of the krill must be removed.

At this time, Fang Youqun used a piece of bamboo with a long ground cage net tied in front of the bamboo to penetrate into the ice cave, and then, with the combined efforts of a few people, pulled the ground cage out of the ice cave with great effort.

Sure enough, Antarctic krill are full of cages.

"Hey, look, Brother Yang, I caught a very large Antarctic krill." Fang Youqun opened the ground cage net and was about to clean the Antarctic krill inside. Suddenly, he was very excited as if he had discovered something. Shouted loudly.

Xiang Yang turned his head and looked there. Sure enough, Fang Youqun was holding a prawn that looked like Antarctic krill but was four to five centimeters in size.

Compared with the size of one or two centimeters of ordinary Antarctic krill, four or five centimeters is definitely a giant.

"This is not Antarctic krill." Xiang Yang shook his head.

Gao Chuang also said happily: "This thing doesn't even count as a shrimp, but you guy is lucky, you caught one of this."

When Fang Youqun heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "This thing is very valuable?"

"It's not a question of value, it's that this thing is hard to catch. This thing is called salps. It generally likes to live in the cold waters of the Southern Ocean. It is a kind of marine creature that is very important to its environment."

Salps is a marine invertebrate that looks like Antarctic krill, but it is not Antarctic krill.

In the past, there were also a lot of fleets that caught salps, and they were once mistaken for the king of Antarctic krill.

In fact, salps is more like a jellyfish.

To say that salps is very important to the sea environment in which it is located does not mean that it is a very important part of the marine food chain, but that salps can transport the carbon on the ocean surface back to the depths of the ocean and give it to the atmosphere. Carbon provides an opportunity for transfer.

"Look again. There should be more than one salvia here. Just like Antarctic krill, it is also in groups, and the salps compete with Antarctic krill. Their food is roughly the same. Since this piece of If there are so many Antarctic krill, then the number of salps will be insignificant.” Xiang Yang ordered.

Moreover, Antarctic krill is the main source of food for many Antarctic creatures, such as penguins and killer whales. Salps are basically absent and animals will eat them. As long as they are in the sea where Antarctic krill and salps coexist, they will basically follow them. As the number of Antarctic krill has decreased, it has continued to increase.

Xiang Yang twisted the sea squirt into his hand and took a closer look. "In Antarctica, there are many unique marine creatures, such as ice fish with milky blood. This sea squirt can actually be regarded as a unique ocean. Biology, it has a unique open-tube blood circulation system. Every few minutes, the blood in its body will be reversed."

The reason Xiang Yang asked Fang Youqun to take a closer look to see if there were salps in the fish basket was not because salps were more valuable than Antarctic krill. Xiang Yang wanted to single out them.

Xiang Yang just wanted to make a simple classification. Salps are salps and Antarctic krill are Antarctic krill. Don't mix these two organisms together.

As for the price, it is really sold on the market. The market for this sea squirt is probably not as good as that of Antarctic krill.

At this time, a crew member in the distance suddenly shouted: "Ice fish, come and see, there is an ice fish under the ice cave on my side."

Everyone was immediately attracted.

There are a lot of Antarctic krill, but the real money is top seafood like ice fish.

"You're busy with you, I'll go over there first." Gao Chuang hurriedly walked over there.

Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng and said, "Go, let's go over and take a look."

When Xiang Yang arrived at the ice cave, it was already surrounded by people who got off the boats.

However, after waiting for Gao to break there, the crowd immediately dispersed, and they were busy again, but each one's eyes drifted to this side from time to time.

Taking the opportunity, Xiang Yang finally got to the edge of the ice cave and looked down. Sure enough, he saw a dozen very fat ice fishes greedily preying on Antarctic krill under the ice cave. UU reading www.uukanshu. Two of com even stayed under the ice cave, seeming to be breathing.

"Is there a way to catch these ice fish?" Gao Chuang immediately asked around.

I have already seen the ice fish. If Gao Chuang doesn’t catch him, he will not be a fisherman. After knowing that the ice fish is very fast downstream, the hope of catching the ice fish is very slim with such a thick layer of ice. , But it's always something to try, isn't it?

"Boss, we must do our best." A fisherman in his 30s and 40s with a big mink next to him said immediately.

Xiang Yang glanced at the speaker. This person Xiang Yang knew, whose surname was Zhang, was the captain of one of the trawlers in Gao Chuang's fleet.

"Well, don't be pressured. Just let it go and grab it. If you don't catch it, you won't catch it. I won't blame you. If you catch it, I will give you a bonus at the end of this month." Gao Chuang said loudly.

Captain Zhang heard the words and immediately laughed bitterly.

If it weren't on the ice, even if he jumped off, he would definitely grab one or two, but it was on the ice. How could he let go and grab it?
