My Deep-sea Fishery

Fortunately, the spiny balls under the waters did not multiply in large numbers.

Xiang Yang stood on the side of the ship, and all the crew members boarded the boat. Every time they came up, Xiang Yang asked each one. In the end, none of the crew members found those thorny balls, let alone got injured.

While heaving a sigh of relief, Xiang Yang hurriedly told everyone that there was a thorny ball under the water.

After hearing about the danger of the thorn ball, the crew members were stunned for a moment.

Fang Youqun patted his chest, looking frightened, "Fortunately, I didn't touch this thorny ball, otherwise my old Fang might have confessed to it today."

"By the way, Brother Yang, I caught a strange octopus under the water. Let's see if it's worth it."

Xiang Yang didn't care about it at first, octopuses are not very valuable except for some special species that can be raised as ornamental fish.

As a result, the next moment, Xiang Yang saw Fang Youqun take out a strange octopus that was orange-yellow and covered with countless beautiful blue circles from the net bag.

"Brother Yang, take a look." Fang Youqun stuffed the strange octopus in front of Xiang Yang.

"Fuck."

Xiang Yang was taken aback by Fang Youqun's actions, hurriedly stepped back a few steps, and then yelled at Fang Youqun: "You are going to die!"

"What's wrong? Isn't it just an octopus?" Fang Youqun didn't expect Xiang Yang's reaction to be so strong, he was very puzzled.

At this time, Chen Qingsheng came over, grabbed the weird octopus, and said, "This is the blue-ringed octopus, also known as the ghost octopus. It is distributed from the west coast of the Pacific Ocean to the depths of the Antarctic. It is a kind of comparison question." Small, but quite deadly marine animals."

In fact, to be precise, this blue-ringed octopus should be called the little blue-ringed octopus.

Because there are two kinds of blue-ringed octopus, one is the big blue-ringed octopus, which is a relatively large aquatic creature in the equatorial sea.

The little blue-ringed octopus is a very rare octopus south of Australia. It is usually small, about the size of a ping pong ball. More than ten centimeters.

"Captain, what should we do with this blue-ringed octopus?" Chen Qingsheng asked Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang put on the gloves first, and then said: "Show me."

Chen Qingsheng quickly handed the little blue-ringed octopus to Xiang Yang.

After Xiang Yang took the blue-ringed octopus, he put it in front of his eyes and took a closer look.

Overall, the blue-ringed octopus is lighter in color.

There are dark blue rings on the surface of its body and eight tentacles, and there is a small blue circle inside the blue belt, which looks very nice.

Fang Youqun whispered: "When I first saw this octopus, its color was very bright, but for some reason, after I caught it, its color became darker."

Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun, but said nothing.

The color of the body of the little blue-ringed octopus is indeed brighter in normal times. Once they are frightened or hunted down by predators, the color of the body surface will quickly become dark. This is what the little blue-ringed octopus uses to protect itself A means of camouflage.

And when they confront the enemy, the blue ring on its body will turn into a very dazzling electric blue, which is a warning signal to the opponent. It is precisely because of this color change that people call it a blue-ringed octopus. name.

Fang Youqun saw this blue-ringed octopus with a bright color before, but it was actually this blue-ringed octopus threatening Fang Youqun. Unfortunately, Fang Youqun didn't know that he was being threatened.

"You can thank you for wearing the diving suit on my boat." Xiang Yang said to Fang Youqun angrily: "I told you earlier, don't touch marine life you don't know, let alone catch it. You just can't listen."

Fang Youqun was taken aback, "Is this octopus in danger?"

"Yeah." Xiang Yang nodded, "Although the little blue-ringed octopus is small in size, the venom it secretes is enough to kill a grown man with one bite."

The venom of the blue-ringed octopus is contained in its saliva, which is secreted by two glands in its body the size of its brain.

The toxin of the blue-ringed octopus has two components. One is a mild toxin that mainly acts on crabs and lobsters, which are the favorite foods of the blue-ringed octopus.

Another toxin is a little bit similar to the toxin contained in the puffer fish, but it is more powerful than the toxin of the puffer fish. It is generally used to prevent those fish or humans who come to harass.

Fang Youqun heard the words but said indifferently: "Isn't it just venom? Brother Yang, don't worry, I have my heart in mind, and I was wearing gloves when I caught it."

Xiang Yang laughed angrily at Fang Youqun's words, "You have a square inch? Then do you know how the blue-ringed octopus uses its venom?"

How does the blue-ringed octopus use its venom?

Fang Youqun was stunned. It was the first time he had seen and heard of this octopus. How could he know how the blue-ringed octopus used its venom.

Fang Youqun anxiously scratched his head on the spot.

Suddenly, Fang Youqun's eyes lit up, and he remembered what Xiang Yang said before, 'It only takes one bite of the blue-ringed octopus to poison a grown man'.

Fang Youqun immediately said: "Brother Yang, you underestimate me too much. Doesn't the blue-ringed octopus use its mouth to release its venom? As long as it doesn't get bitten by it, it doesn't matter how strong its venom is."

"I knew you would say that." Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "When a blue-ringed octopus attacks, it usually bites with its mouth like a parrot, or directly sprays out its venom like a king cobra. Its poison can easily kill a grown man, and its poison can easily tear through an ordinary diving suit."

Like the spiny ball, the blue-ringed octopus is a marine creature that is not well received by fishermen.

Because the blue-ringed octopus is small in size and most of its body surface is yellow-brown, it is easy to hide in the surrounding environment. Diving fishermen will be caught if they are not careful, and being caught basically means death.

"The toxicity of the blue-ringed octopus toxin is so strong that it can immediately paralyze the respiratory system of an animal and cause it to die within an hour and a half."

"These are actually trivial things. What's really powerful is that the blue-ringed octopus bites people without pain. When bitten by the blue-ringed octopus, you won't feel pain, and you will even enjoy the underwater scenery with great interest. I didn't even know I was bitten." Xiang Yang said.

There is basically no cure for a blue-ringed octopus bite.

The toxin of the blue-ringed octopus will produce very serious consequences in the human body in a very short period of time, and will obviously affect the nervous system of the human body.

After being bitten by a blue-ringed octopus, people will gradually feel dry mouth and tongue numbness. When this feeling occurs, within a few minutes, people's vision will become blurred and they will completely lose their sense of touch. drowned in sea water.
