My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang watched a video about great white sharks on the Internet.

In the video, a great white shark and a sea fish are swimming towards each other. Obviously the great white shark did not bite the sea fish, but the sea fish was instantly torn apart. The reason is the terrifying barbs on the great white shark.

Speaking of this, Xiang Yang shook his head suddenly, "No matter what the great white shark's attitude towards human beings is, the number of great white sharks is decreasing now. If we don't protect them, I'm afraid our future generations will never see them again. gone."

"Protection? Protect such a dangerous great white shark? Is it too late to hunt?" Fang Youqun shouted immediately.

Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun, but said nothing.

Great white sharks are currently being protected in many countries and regions around the world.

Despite this, great white sharks are still the prey of regular hunting.

On the black market, a great white shark tooth can fetch at least tens of thousands of yuan.

"Great white sharks are actually not as harmful to humans as tiger sharks." Chen Qingsheng said suddenly at this moment.

"Yes, that's right." Xiang Yang nodded.

"The tiger shark is a big eater. If it doesn't overeat itself, it will not let go of any creature in sight. But the great white shark is different. Although the great white shark is greedy, it is never greedy."

Voracious tiger sharks will almost catch all the target food when they are looking for food, and even the same kind often kill each other because of the competition for food.

When encountering a ship or a crashed plane, tiger sharks will swarm from all directions smelling the smell and devouring the food in an instant.

But the great white shark is different.

Although the great white shark is also bloodthirsty, most of the time, the great white shark will not take the initiative to attack.

As long as a meal is included, the great white shark can be quiet for several weeks without hunting.

During the few weeks when the great white shark is quiet, unless it itself is attacked, it is not aggressive.

Once a biologist used a lot of fish and meat mixed with blood as bait to lure the great white sharks after they were full. As a result, the group of great white sharks just swam around the food and did not bite at all. The usual ferocious traces disappeared. none.

Of course, this does not mean that the great white shark is not scary.

No matter what, the status of the great white shark as the top predator in the ocean remains unchanged. When hungry, the great white shark will swallow whatever it sees.

When someone once dissected the stomach of the great white shark, a complete sea lion was found in the stomach of the great white shark, which shows the great appetite of the great white shark.

Moreover, the great white shark's stomach has a very tough wall. Except for manta rays, swordfish, and sailfish, it will not hurt itself if it swallows even weird things.

Because of this characteristic, many great white sharks swallow manta rays by mistake every year. As a result, their abdomen is pierced from the inside out by the manta ray's stomach spine.

Xiang Yang sat around the camp with a group of crew members, commenting on the group of tiger sharks under the water.

Although the tiger shark is a very ferocious marine predator, it is not a patient marine predator. Therefore, Xiang Yang is not worried or afraid of this group of tiger sharks under the water.

As long as everyone stays close to the sea, this group of tiger sharks will leave on their own in a short time.

And tiger sharks can't stay in sea ice for too long.

"Hoo, hoo."

At this moment, Xiang Yang suddenly heard a strange voice.

Xiang Yang quickly turned his head to look at the ice behind him.

After seeing it clearly, Xiang Yang suddenly burst out laughing, "It turned out to be an Antarctic sea wolf seal."

I saw that Antarctic sea wolf seal has a round body, fat body, looks like a ball, its head looks a bit like a dog, its hind legs are lying on the ice, its front legs are erect, and it is difficult to support its fat body rise.

"Why did Antarctic sea wolf seals come to the ice?" Xia Pengjie wondered, "I remember that this kind of seal is a carnivorous marine animal that preys, rests, and lives in the ocean."

"You are right, but this does not mean that Antarctic sea wolf seals will not come to the ice. It just lives in the sea most of the time. During the period of shedding, breeding, and avoiding predators, it will also Climb to live on land or ice." Xiang Yang replied.

A clear expression appeared on Xia Pengjie's face. There are so many great white sharks in the sea, it seems that this Antarctic sea wolf seal took refuge on the ice.

Gao Chuang stared at the sea wolf and licked his lips, "It's so fat, if it wasn't an animal protected by the Antarctic Treaty, I would have to catch it."

When Xiang Yang heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter.

The Antarctic sea wolf seal is one of the six common seal species in Antarctica, and it is also the least numerous of the six Antarctic seal species. It is highly protected. If an Antarctic seal is killed in Antarctica, it is possible to be permanently expelled from Antarctica.

"Being able to raise this Antarctic sea wolf seal so fat, it seems that there are a lot of fishery resources in this sea area. How about we cast a net around here after the blizzard hears about it?" Xiang Yang asked.

Hearing this, Gao Chuang thought for a moment.

Antarctic sea wolf seals mainly feed on various fish and cephalopods, and sometimes some crustaceans. Their food intake is huge. An Antarctic sea wolf seal of about 70 kilograms eats at least seven It takes only one kilogram of food to be full, and ten kilograms of food may be needed to satisfy their appetite.

This Antarctic sea wolf seal can grow so fat, obviously there is no shortage of food in this sea area.

"Not necessarily." Gao Chuang rubbed his somewhat frozen face, "Don't look at this thing as fat, but in fact, as soon as it gets into the water, it will be very flexible immediately. They are really good at fishing. It's too simple, whether there are more or less fishery resources in this sea area can only be known after fishing."

Xiang Yang nodded in agreement. The Antarctic sea wolf seal has a spindle-shaped body, smooth and streamlined body fur, and is a famous swimmer. It is said that its fastest swimming speed can reach 37 kilometers per hour.

Moreover, the Antarctic sea wolf seal is not only fast at swimming, but also very good at diving.

According to Xiang Yang, the Antarctic sea wolf seal is among the six common seal species in Antarctica, and its diving ability is second only to the Weddell seal.

With superb swimming skills and strong diving ability, it is too easy for Antarctic sea wolf seals to prey.

Moreover, the Antarctic sea wolf seal can quickly change the swimming direction in the water and quickly chase the swimming prey.

In addition, the Antarctic sea wolf seal also has a strong jaw, and the long teeth on the jaw are extremely sharp, even fighting with tiger sharks. Once the prey is bitten by the Antarctic sea wolf seal, there is basically no possibility of survival.

With first-class swimming skills and sharp teeth, Antarctic sea wolf seals are definitely the top marine predators in the entire Antarctic.
