My Deep-sea Fishery

In addition, sea turtles generally only lay eggs at night. Before laying eggs, as long as there is a slight disturbance, the sea turtles will immediately turn around and go into the sea regardless of their pregnancy. However, once the egg laying started, even if someone slapped the turtle's shell vigorously, it would not budge.

"This island is actually a nesting ground for sea turtles."

Xiang Yang looked at the beach, if it wasn't for the high tide that pushed away part of the sand, and he landed on the island just at this time, I am afraid that no one would ever know that this small island is actually a sea turtle one of their important habitats.

The nutritional value of turtle eggs is extremely high.

Sea turtles are originally a long-lived animal, and the eggs they lay have a much higher nutritional value than those of other animals.

Xiang Yang thought about it carefully. There is no protected area related to sea turtles in the entire Qinglong Bend sea area.

In other words, these turtle eggs can be picked up and brought back.

Xiang Yang played with the turtle eggs in his hand.

The nutritional value of various turtle eggs is very rich, including turtle eggs, all turtle eggs can be collectively referred to as turtle eggs.

According to the latest research, turtle eggs have the functions of preventing arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Practice has also proved that tortoise eggs have antibacterial, anti-cancer and anti-aging effects.

The protein content in tortoise eggs is about twice that of eggs, the content of calcium is about four times that of eggs, the content of riboflavin is twice that of eggs, and the content of cholesterol, which is harmful to human health, is only one tenth of that of eggs. One, the total sugar is one sixteenth of that of eggs, and the total fat is half of that of eggs.

Compared with eggs, tortoise eggs are a high-protein, low-fat, low-sugar, and low-cholesterol nutritional and health product with higher edible value. For people at any stage, they are a great tonic food.

There are also many functions and functions of turtle eggs.

Various data have proved that tortoise eggs are definitely a good food with high protein, low fat, low cholesterol and low sugar.

Due to the "one high and three low" composition of turtle eggs, it has good medicinal and nutritional value for the human body. Studies have shown that turtle eggs can lower blood pressure, prevent diabetes and prevent arteriosclerosis. Antibacterial effect, even has the magical effect of anti-aging.

In addition, Xiang Yang also knows that tortoise eggs have a strong effect on inhibiting liver cancer, stomach cancer and leukemia.

Moreover, it has a strong preventive effect on anemia, weakness and leukopenia caused by chemotherapy.

Regular consumption of turtle eggs is of great benefit to the recovery of patients with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood fat, tuberculosis, and friends with weak constitutions.

Holding the turtle egg in his hand, Xiang Yang thought about it and finally put it back on the beach and buried it well with fine sand.

Eggs are very common in Xiangyang's daily life. Eggs and ducks are indispensable objects in Xiangyang's life.

As long as it is an egg, it seems to be delicious food in Xiang Yang's eyes.

However, no matter what Xiang Yang thought about these black turtle eggs, he felt that he still couldn't pass the test in his heart.

Although these sea turtle eggs lay eggs all the year round like chickens, and there are two types of fertilized eggs and oligo eggs, but in Xiang Yang's subconscious mind, he still thinks that turtles are a kind of spiritual creature.

But Xiang Yang feels that he can't eat any spiritual creatures, and he is unwilling to catch them for others to eat.

And Xiang Yang knows that most of the egg yolks and egg whites in turtle eggs are non-coagulating proteins, and their eggs will not coagulate after being cooked, and will always be milky white. That is to say, no matter how you cook turtle eggs, they will always be raw. The appearance of the egg, the average person sees it and has no desire to eat it at all.

Of course, Xiang Yang also knows that there are many people who love to eat turtle eggs.

A few years ago, thousands of ridley turtles flocked to Ostionaal Beach in northwestern Costa Rica to lay their eggs.

According to statistics from local marine biologists, in the three days before and after, about 250,000 ridley turtles came ashore to lay eggs.

It was the largest sea turtle laying in recent years, and such a scene is rare.

Many locals in Costa Rica have never seen such a grand sight.

At that time, countless locals went to the beach to collect turtle eggs and sell them.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Xiang Yang found some extremely small eggs among countless sea turtle eggs.

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "Could it be a bird's egg or a snake's egg?"

These eggs are much smaller than normal sea turtle eggs, and there are a lot of them, and they are all together. It is obvious that they cannot be bird eggs or snake gallbladder.

Xiang Yang walked over and thought with some surprise, "Could this be the ridley egg?"

Ridgeback is a kind of sea turtle, but it is very different from ordinary sea turtles.

The olive ridley is the smallest of all sea turtles that have been discovered so far. Its body length is generally only 60 to 70 centimeters, and its weight is about 12 kilograms. It has 2 pairs of frontal scales on the back of the head. There are many rib shields, 6-9 pairs, the first pair is tangent to the neck shield. There are 4 pairs of lower marginal scutes on the abdomen, and there is a small hole in the rear edge of each scutellum. The limbs are flat like paddles. The head, limbs and body back are dark olive green, and the plastron is light orange.

The ridley is an omnivorous sea turtle. They like to prey on benthic and floating crustaceans, molluscs, jellyfish and other invertebrates. They also occasionally eat fish eggs and plant foods.

September to January is the spawning season for ridley turtles.

During breeding, ridleys come ashore in groups to lay eggs.

After laying eggs, ridleys will move in the sea near the nest area or scattered in the foraging ground.

Xiang Yang carefully recalled the distribution range of the ridley turtle, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that these small turtle eggs were the eggs of the ridley turtle.

Ridge turtles are distributed throughout the tropical seas, and their migration routes are along the tropics and some subtropical regions, including the central-eastern, northeast, northwest, southeastern, southwest and western centers of the Atlantic Ocean, the eastern and western Indian Ocean, and the central-eastern and northwestern Pacific Ocean. , Southwest, West Center.

The Qinglong Bend sea area is also within the migratory sea area of ​​the Ridley turtle.

Although Xiang Yang has never found ridleys in the sea area of ​​Qinglong Bend in the past, that does not mean that there are no ridleys in the sea area of ​​Qinglong Bend.

Speaking of it, most people have never heard of the name Ridley turtle, but in reality, the shape of Ridley turtle is what most people think of a sea turtle.

Ridge turtle, a marine animal, has a very strange shape, its body is small and round.

Generally, the nail length is only about 600 mm, not more than 800 mm. The back of the body is olive green, and there are two pairs of scales on the forehead. There are six pairs of costal scutes, the first pair is connected with the neck scute, and the lower edge scute is four pairs, each scutellum has a small hole in the back edge.

The limbs are flat and covered with large scales. The front edge of the forelimb is 375-435 mm long, and the tip is as long as a scissor; the front edge of the hind limb is 180-335 mm long, and the end is shovel-shaped. Each has 1 claw. short tail.
