My Deep-sea Fishery

"Although it's not a real flower, its ever-changing shapes are more beautiful than most flowers. Wu, would you like to bring some back?" Grene heard the conversation between Xiang Yang and Wu Shiwen, and immediately asked with a seductive expression. .

"This..." Wu Shiwen hesitated immediately, and looked at Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang smiled and said: "Sponges like to live in symbiosis with other creatures. Their shapes are very strange, and they often look very similar to their neighbors. If the sponge is fixed on coral or carapace, its shape is very similar to coral. Or carapace, in addition, there are pots, fish, fans, all kinds of strange shapes."

"In short, the sponge is still very suitable for keeping in the sea tank, but its specific value has a lot to do with its shape. The general shape of the sponge is not valuable, which ones are valuable, you are in business, you should be more valuable than me. clear."

After Xiang Yang finished speaking, Wu Shiwen immediately understood.

It means that most of the sponges are worthless, and the valuable sponges are those that look good and have beautiful and colorful colors.

Sponge has a very large family. It is the most primitive multicellular animal. It has lived in the ocean 200 million years ago and has developed to more than 10,000 species, accounting for one-fifteenth of the entire marine animal species. It is distributed from intertidal to deep sea, from tropical ocean to Antarctic ice sea.

Moreover, it is said that sponges can live not only in the ocean, but also in rivers and lakes. The prosperity of the entire family is comparable to that of Brother Squidward.

"Brother Yang, I want to pick some, but this is the South Pole. Are you sure that the sponges you bring back from here will survive when I return to Qinglong Bend?" Wu Shiwen asked with some concerns.

Before Xiang Yang could speak, Ge Lan's eyes lit up immediately, "Wu, my dear friend, you don't have to worry about this, my sponge has extremely strong vitality, don't just bring it back to you Even if you put it on the fire and roast it in your hometown, it can still live well.”

"Brother Yang?" Wu Shiwen obviously didn't believe what Gu Lan said, and still looked at Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang thought for a while, and said: "Sponge can be regarded as the most family and largest marine life in the entire ocean. The reason why it can have such a huge vitality is inseparable from its vitality and strong regenerative power. Although Ge Brother Lan is exaggerating, but you really don't need to worry about sponges dying from bad weather."

Someone once did an experiment, that person used a hydraulic press to crush a piece of sponge into pieces, and then threw all the pieces into the seawater.

After a period of time, those pieces turned into individual sponges, and after a while, each individual sponge grew into a complete body. This is simply a miracle of life.

There are also scientists who do not believe in evil, mash orange sponges and yellow sponges, and then mix them together.

As a result, scientists discovered that these two different species of sponges could be rearranged and aggregated according to their respective species, forming new orange-red sponges and yellow sponges.

When scientists observed the crushed sponge under a microscope, they found that the cells of the sponge were clustered together in three or five episodes, and they became new sponges one by one.

"Okay, let me pick a few first." Wu Shiwen said.

With Xiang Yang's guarantee, Wu Shiwen obviously has a lot of confidence. He is confident in his own vision, and the goods he picks out are not afraid that they will not be sold.

A harmless smile appeared on Gren's face, "Of course, you can take whatever you like, and I'll give it to you at the lowest price. Who made us friends?"

Wu Shiwen nodded, walked to the edge of the water tank, and was about to reach in.

"stop."

"Wait a moment."

"stop."

Xiang Yang, Gao Chuang, and Ge Lan were all taken aback by Wu Shiwen's actions, and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong?" Wu Shiwen turned his head and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Didn't you let me pick first? Why don't you let me stop?"

"You just use your hands to pick? Do you still want your hands?" Xiang Yang smiled wryly.

Wu Shiwen wondered, "Can't you pick it with your hands?"

Xiang Yang nodded, "Sponges can secrete a substance similar to venom, which is the sponge's defense means to fight back against enemies, or kill toxic microorganisms in the surrounding seawater, making the seawater around the sponge cleaner. This is the main reason why many people like to keep some sponges in the tank."

Wu Shiwen's face immediately changed when he heard the words, "Poisonous?"

"As long as you don't touch it with your hands, it's fine." Xiang Yang said.

Speaking of which, sponges are really interesting marine creatures.

Some algae like to grow on the body of the sponge, and the sponge is also happy to turn its whole body green. At first glance, it looks like a beautiful algae.

There are also some sand crabs who like to tear the sponges into pieces and stick them on their shells, and the sponges are also very happy to do so. Putting on a piece of armor, it also secretes venom to help the sand crab defend itself from enemies.

Sponges seem to get along really well with all marine life.

Even oysters and sea chrysanthemums, and some fish, are more than happy to have sponges attached to them.

And the sponge is not in vain, it secretes venom and an unpleasant gas to help the host repel or scare away fierce marine predators.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that sponges also have many benefits to humans. Not only can they be used in daily life, but also because sponges contain natural antibiotics that can kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis, they can treat rheumatism and neurological diseases for people.

What is even more surprising to humans is that there are various anti-cancer substances in the cavernous body, some of which have even been extracted by humans and are being widely used in clinical practice.

Wu Shiwen rubbed his hands, and asked, "Brother Yang, is there anything else you should pay attention to? Why don't you explain it clearly at once."

"Gone."

Xiang Yang smiled and said: "Sponge is a great treasure left by nature to human beings. Apart from releasing a substance similar to venom, there is basically nothing to pay attention to. You just need not touch it directly with your hands. .”

"Okay, then I can rest assured. By the way, what are the prices of these sponges?" Wu Shiwen asked Grantao as he walked towards the water tank.

Grant grinned, "Wu, you're Gao's friend, that's my friend. I don't make any money in my friend's business, um, two thousand dollars per cubic meter, what do you think?"

"puff."

A captain who was drinking water sprayed all over the place.

Xiang Yang also stared at Ge Lan, the corners of his mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

"What? I am a sponge from the deep sea of ​​Antarctica. Isn't it worth two thousand dollars per cubic meter?" Grant said a little unhappy.
