My Deep-sea Fishery

Following Xiang Yang's order.

The fishing boat quickly turned around on the spot.

In this second net, the catch is obviously much less than the first net, but there is still a total catch of more than 10,000 catties.

With these two nets, Xiang Yang's trip to sea must have made a profit.

"Hurry up, clear up all the catches on the deck, and I will reward each person with two hundred yuan in red envelopes when they arrive on the shore." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

As long as he makes money, Xiang Yang's benefits to the crew are never empty. They are always real money. If you earn more, you will be rewarded more. Even if you don't earn much, you will give out a red envelope to some extent. one time.

The crew all like Xiang Yang for that too.

Encouraged by the red envelopes, the crew immediately worked harder.

Just when everyone was actively cleaning up the catch on the deck, a crew member suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Oh my god, what kind of fish is this?"

"What's going on?" Hearing the shout, Xiang Yang strode over quickly.

At the same time, Chen Qingsheng on the side quickly shouted: "Everyone should disperse, don't crowd around to watch the excitement."

The exclamation of that crew member was exaggerated, and likewise, the unknown sea creature might be exaggerated.

In the ocean, there are many dangerous sea creatures.

Before understanding what the sea creature is, letting a group of crew members gather around to watch the excitement is likely to cause unnecessary safety accidents. Therefore, Chen Qingsheng, the first officer, naturally stopped the crew members immediately. near.

Those crew members who really wanted to gather around to find out what happened, stopped immediately after hearing Chen Qingsheng's shout, and retreated to the edge of the deck one after another.

Soon, there was a large space on the deck at the stern.

"Captain." Chen Qingsheng quickly ran to Xiang Yang's side.

Xiang Yang nodded, but he didn't look at Chen Qingsheng, but kept staring at the middle of the catch.

Chen Qingsheng also glanced at the pile of catches, and suddenly he was stunned, "Hey, is this a batfish?"

Xiang Yang frowned, "From the appearance, it should be a mantafish, but this color is too special."

The real name of manta ray is manta ray, also known as blanket ray, which is a collective name for cartilaginous fishes and manta rays. Because of its strange appearance, it is commonly called devil fish.

The devil fish is very dangerous, it is extremely powerful, and it can easily kill a human adult man with just a light slap with its fins.

This is not the first time Xiang Yang has seen this kind of fish. To be precise, everyone on the entire ocean-going fishing boat has seen this kind of fish, but this one in front of him is really special.

Its color is not the usual jet black, nor is it a good-looking black and white color, but a cute pink.

Covered all over in bright pink, this stingray is as beautiful as a fairy-tale creature.

"Could it be a brand-new variety that hasn't been discovered before?" Chen Qingsheng wondered.

Xiang Yang shook his head, "No, this shouldn't be a new species of devil fish, and it's not like it hasn't been discovered before."

"Before this, has anyone seen this pink devil fish?" Chen Qingsheng was stunned.

Xiang Yang nodded and said: "Yes, before that, near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, there was a devil ray with a wingspan of nearly seven meters and a weight of about two tons, which was very famous because it had a unique pink appearance in the world. It is the only pink manta ray ever found in the whole world."

"So, the one on our boat is the second pink devil ray in the world?" Chen Qingsheng said in surprise.

Xiang Yang understood why Chen Qingsheng was happy.

As the saying goes, what is rare is the most precious, and the value of a pink devil fish, the only one in the world, is simply inestimable.

Pink stingrays are hard to come by.

So far, humans have not caught this pink manta ray.

The first pink stingray discovered by humans was named after Inspector Clothor, the protagonist in the classic series "The Pink Panther".

Although the pink devil fish lives near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia all year round, very few humans can witness it.

It's been years since humans first spotted that pink stingray, but humans haven't even captured it, and there aren't even many photos and videos of it.

According to authoritative media statistics, since humans discovered the pink devil ray, there have been no more than ten sightings in the five years since then.

Finnish photographer Christian Laing was the first to spot pink stingrays in nature.

At that time, the pink manta ray and six other common manta rays circled a coral reef in the sea, and the whole circle lasted for half an hour.

That's actually a courtship ritual for stingrays.

The pink stingray and six male stingrays are competing for the mate position of a female stingray. After taking pictures of the group of stingrays, the photographer looked back at the photos and couldn't believe that one of the stingrays he captured was actually It was pink, and at first he thought it was a machine malfunction.

Speaking of which, many marine creatures have the habit of swimming around coral reefs.

This is actually because fish live in the sea, and it is inevitable that parasites or barnacles will grow on them.

Fish don't have hands, so they can't scratch themselves like humans, so they will find some coral reefs with a suitable shape, circle around on them, and clean up the parasites and barnacles on their skin.

Some coral reefs are just the right shape and size, so they will be targeted by fish and become a fixed place for people to scratch their itch.

"I don't know if it's the second pink stingray in nature. After all, there are one and two, and there may be three or even more, but this is definitely the first pink stingray caught by humans so far. Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Before that, Xiang Yang had never heard of any fishermen catching pink devil ray.

At this moment, Fang Youqun came over. He squatted down two meters in front of the pink stingray and looked curiously, "Brother Yang, shouldn't all these stingrays be black? Why is this one pink? color?"

Xiang Yang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Normally speaking, the color of the stingray should be black on the back and white on the belly, or the pattern on the back is alternating black and white, because the stingray swims in a flat posture in the water. , the dark back and light belly can help them better hide themselves in the sea, which is the result of natural selection of the fittest and survival of the fittest.”

"Could it be that a long time ago, there were many pink stingrays in the ocean, but they were all extinct because their colors were too conspicuous, so the number of pink stingrays is so rare today." Fang Youqun asked.
