My Deep-sea Fishery

"Uh, sentencing?" Fang Youqun immediately agreed, "Isn't it just a fishing net? Brother Yang, we have made a lot of money during this period, and it's time to change to a stronger fishing net. How do you say that as the saying goes?" The old ones don’t go, the new ones come.”

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes. The sawfish is an endangered protected animal. It was included in the list of endangered animals as early as 2003, and it is no exception in our country. He knows that there is no way to avenge the destruction of fishing nets. , so he said directly: "Master Zhou, put this sawfish directly back into the sea."

Sawfish is a cartilaginous fish, and its body length is generally about 5 meters to 7 meters. Some large sawfishes can reach 9 meters in length. This fish has a long, flat mouth with sharp serrations on both sides, five gill openings, two fins on the back of the sawfish, two fins on the left and right sides of the body, and a tail. Thick and powerful, it can swing and glide quickly in the water.

Sawfish are closely related to sharks and are as old as sharks at more than 56 million years old.

Although there are many types of sawfish, they are almost all the same size.

They are warm-water benthic fish that can live alternately in fresh water and sea water. They generally live in shallow water areas in tropical regions. They often appear in the South China Sea and the southern part of the East China Sea.

Sawfish live at the bottom of the sea and are ferocious in nature. When hunting, they usually use their powerful front beaks to turn over the sand on the seabed, looking for shells, conch and some molluscs. Sometimes they will rush into other fish schools and shake them left and right. It moves its head to scratch other fish, just like chasing prey with a mace. Any fish that cannot dodge in time will be stunned by the sawfish and become the food of the sawfish.

"Sigh." Zhou Wang sighed, "I didn't catch any fish and broke a fishing net. This business has lost a lot." He felt ashamed to face Xiang Yang. If you cast the net at the designated location, you will generally get some results, at least the net will not be empty.

Finally, Xiang Yang asked him, the net caster, where to cast the net, but the result was that the fish was not caught, and one of the nets was broken.

Xiang Yang smiled, "How can you say that you didn't catch any fish? The sawfish is a rare fish. If it wasn't because it is a protected animal, I would dare to return to the voyage immediately with just this one."

Xiang Yang is not talking nonsense. According to the word of mouth of those old people who have eaten sawfish meat before, the meat quality of sawfish is even more delicious than yellow-lipped fish. The price has long been copied to the sky. That mouth is a treasure comparable to ivory. The one Xiang Yang caught was six or seven meters long. The fish mouth, leather, and fish meat can be sold for at least a million dollars.

Zhou Wang smiled far-fetchedly and didn't say much. He knew that Xiang Yang's words were comforting. No matter how valuable the sawfish was, they were protecting animals. The blood loss in the net was a confirmed fact.

The sawfish did not leave immediately after being released into the sea. It seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fishing boat that had caught it out of the water. Its head swung left and right, and its saw-like mouth knocked on the hull of the boat.

"This guy, is he relying on us?" He Mingde didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"This is not Pengci." Xiang Yang said with a wry smile, "He's been doing well in the bottom of the sea. We just fished him up from the bottom of the water for no reason. Don't we allow him to lose his temper? Let's go to the cabin and get some squids. .”

He couldn't fight, he couldn't kill, Xiang Yang couldn't do anything, so he really met Pengci and pinched his nose to admit it.

"Okay, I'll get it." Chen Qingsheng immediately trotted towards the cabin.

Xiang Yang took out his mobile phone to take pictures of the sawfish. First, although the sawfish was caught before, it was released and not injured. Second, Xiang Yang is now a member of the Endangered Animals and Plants Conservation Alliance. I am not afraid at all that the sharing of photos will cause unnecessary trouble to myself.

As for whether the sawfish will destroy the fishing boat?

All kidding aside, there's no way to damage this gillnet boat with a real saw underneath, and the sawfish's saw isn't a real saw.

When it comes to sawfish saws there is one thing that has to be mentioned.

Many people may think that sawfish are oviparous like most fish, but in fact they are not.

Sawfish are ovoviviparous animals. The long mouth of the small sawfish is full of saw teeth when they are in the stomach of the big sawfish, but their teeth will not hurt the big sawfish when they are born, because the sawfish has the same saw The snout is not bony, but a thick film is wrapped around the snout of the sawfish, and their saw is more like a mace than a saw.

Soon, Chen Qingsheng ran out of the cabin holding a wooden squid box.

Xiang Yang was about to ask Chen Qingsheng to dump the squid into the boat, when suddenly the sawfish on the sea surface that had been slapping the boat angrily seemed to have seen a ghost. Swim towards the distance at a fast speed.

Most of the people on the boat saw a fin several times larger than the door suddenly popping up from the sea area where the sawfish had stayed before, and the fin hit the sawfish heavily. At the position where the ray stayed, a huge white wave four or five meters high was set off.

"Woo--"

The big fish seemed to be very angry when it missed the sawfish with a slap, and let out an angry cry like a siren, and then chased the sawfish with a flick of its huge tail, but the speed was faster than that of the sawfish. Ray was much slower, and it seemed that it was difficult to catch up.

"Uh, it's the big head." Xiang Yang said in astonishment.

The big fish that suddenly appeared from the bottom of the water was the big head of the male whale among the two humpback whales.

Although the sawfish is so ferocious that even real sharks would shy away from it when it goes crazy, the humpback whale obviously doesn't like it.

This can be seen from the movement of the sawfish before the male humpback whale appeared just now when it ran away quickly. Obviously, even a ferocious sawfish would not dare to confront the humpback whale, a terrifying sea beast like a hill.

Fang Youqun seemed particularly excited. He leaned half of his body over the side of the boat and shouted loudly, "Come on, big head, turn over that sawfish."

Xiang Yang didn't stop it, and he couldn't stop it. He also looked at the sea with interest.

It seems that if the sawfish is knocked over by the humpback whale, the humpback whale will not be sentenced, right?

It seems that the protected animals that have died don't need to be protected anymore, right?

Thinking of this, Xiang Yang had a thought, and immediately shouted: "Let's take pictures, in case that sawfish dies, we must record the cause of his death in detail."

"Captain, I've already taken another shot."

In fact, many people took out their mobile phones without Xiang Yang's reminder.

As Xiang Yang's voice fell, those crew members who didn't take out their mobile phones also took out their mobile phones one after another.
