My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 755 Horseshoe Crab

The corner of Xiang Yang's mouth twitched.

Even in the ornamental fish market, the prices of those sponges that are cultivated into small pieces and have a very good appearance generally range from tens to thousands of yuan.

Gu Lan said it was two thousand, and the unit was still in US dollars, which was not intended to be traded at all.

"It's too expensive." Wu Shiwen shook his head. He is obviously not a fool, although Xiang Yang didn't say it clearly, but through Xiang Yang's expression, he already knew what Xiang Yang wanted to say but didn't say.

"The price is really not expensive. This is not an ordinary sponge. This is a sponge produced in the deep sea of ​​Antarctica." Grant shook his head.

"That's such a pity. I can only pay you five hundred dollars per square meter for these sponges." Wu Shiwen said a price that he thought was very low. If the price offered is ridiculously high, then he will say a ridiculously low price.

Xiang Yang and Gao Chuang on the side rolled their eyes.

Grant's frowning brows slowly relaxed, "Wu, the price you gave is really too low."

"But who made you my friend?"

As he said that, Gulen changed his tone and showed a smile on his face, "Just take the price you said, five hundred dollars per cubic meter, how much do you want? I'll get someone to help you deliver it to your boat."

"Ah?" Wu Shiwen didn't respond for a while.

After reacting, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Okay." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "This price is actually more in line with the market value. If the type of sponge you pick out is high enough, you may be able to earn a little more after you go back."

Wu Shiwen's complexion became a little better, he nodded, "Okay, take me to the cabin to pick up the goods."

"Gao, Xiang, do you want to go to see my sponge with this friend too?" Grant asked with a smile.

"I won't look at it anymore, I'm not interested in this thing." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Gao Chuang even waved his hand directly, "Glen, this time you are not as enthusiastic as last time, and you won't show me anything good. If you don't come out with something that interests me, then I'll kill you." Got to go."

Ge Lan immediately cried out: "Gao, you have wronged me too much, my Antarctic deep-sea sponge, and such a big hamburger sea chrysanthemum clam, these are rare and good things, and many people are rushing to get them." of."

Gao Chuang waved his hand, "Go." Then he made a gesture and walked to the side of the ship.

Ge Lan became anxious immediately, and hurried over to stop Gao Chuang, and said with a smile on his face, "Gao, my friend, how could you leave so quickly?"

Gao Chuang didn't appreciate it, "Then you still use these things to fool me."

"Don't you have an old saying that you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient? This is better, of course it will come later." Grant smiled.

Gao Chuang shook his head, "I want to see the best."

"OK."

Grant clapped his hands, "Take out the batch of limulus that I received half a month ago."

"What?"

Xiang Yang and Gao Chuang looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

This foreigner still has such a good thing in his hands, Xiang Yang secretly thought in his heart.

Limulus is a very precious seafood.

Its Chinese name is called horseshoe crab. It is a western soft-shelled turtle native to the Atlantic coast of America, and it is a close relative of the extinct trilobite.

Speaking of it, although the horseshoe crab is called a crab, in fact it has nothing to do with a crab, but is related to scorpions and spiders.

Over time, animals contemporaneous with the horseshoe crab have either evolved or become extinct, but this horseshoe crab still retains the most primitive and ancient appearance.

"Gao, look, this is the batch of limulus I received. Don't look at them as arthropods, but the biggest one here is 55 centimeters long, and it is a very rare marine animal." Ge Lan enthusiastically introduced.

Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes.

There are actually horseshoe crabs in our country, but they are not so big, and they are protected animals.

As far as Xiang Yang knows, none of the horseshoe crabs in our country are allowed to be caught, but almost all of them are imported from foreign countries.

When Xiang Yang saw these horseshoe crabs, he was immediately tempted.

Xiang Yang pretended to be careless, and fished out a horseshoe crab with a length of more than 40 centimeters from the water tank, and said: "This horseshoe crab is distributed from America to Asia, how can it be said to be rare, Moreover, this horseshoe crab is easy to catch, and usually lives in the sand on the seabed, and mainly feeds on worms, annelids, brachiopods, and molluscs."

Horseshoe crabs mainly eat small invertebrates and shellfish to satisfy their hunger. Its body can be divided into three parts: cephalothorax, abdomen and sword tail.

Each horseshoe crab has six pairs of crab-like feet on its head and chest, five pairs of which surround the mouth. When it eats, these five pairs of feet are like teeth, which can help the horseshoe crab chew food.

These American horseshoe crabs have very hard plastrons and gastropods on their abdomens. They can not only crawl on the bottom of the sea, but also swim freely in the water. With the help of their long sword tails, they can drill into the ground.

Seeing Xiang Yang grab a horseshoe crab out of the water tank, Ge Lan immediately reminded: "Xiang, you'd better be careful, this guy is very fierce, it can easily pierce human flesh with its long sword tail. skin, and even death."

Xiang Yang nodded, expressing his understanding.

The tail of a horseshoe crab is really like a sharp dagger, it can easily penetrate into the body of other creatures, and it is the strongest means for horseshoe crabs to hunt, defend against enemies, and defend.

Seeing that Xiang Yang didn't care, Ge Lan immediately knew that Xiang Yang knew about horseshoe crabs.

Immediately, Ge Lan stopped hiding and said directly: "Xiang, these are the best among horseshoe crabs, do you want to take some back?"

Xiang Yang put the horseshoe crab back into the water tank with a smile, and then said: "Brother Grant, you may not understand that in our country, horseshoe crabs are protected animals and are not allowed to be traded. You put these The horseshoe crab was recommended to us, and it was really recommending the wrong person.”

Who would have thought, but Ge Lan had a straight face, "Xiang, you are dishonest."

"This is not an Asian horseshoe crab. As far as I know, you need this kind of American horseshoe crab very much in your country, and you are also allowed to trade American horseshoe crabs freely. As long as you bring them back, you can immediately sell them for a good price. "

Xiang Yang was a little stunned, this foreigner actually knew such details?

Through those hamburger sea chrysanthemum clams before, Xiang Yang thought that this foreigner knew nothing about domestic culture and things.
