My Deep-sea Fishery

"Oh my god, this coral looks too beautiful!" Xiang Yang widened his eyes.

Even Xiang Yang, who was well-informed, was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Clusters, clusters, all kinds of beautiful corals pointing towards the sky like fingers, and blooming like fireworks, dazzled Xiang Yang's eyes.

These corals are like blooming flowers.

But the color is more gorgeous than the flower, and the posture is more than the flower.

Plenty of colorful coral reefs dot the clear blue water.

Coral reefs provide excellent living and habitat conditions for a variety of marine animals and plants.

Xiang Yang took a quick look in the coral sea, and saw sharks, herrings, sea turtles, sea cucumbers, and all kinds of beautiful pearl oysters.

Xiang Yang ignored all kinds of valuable seafood, but first stared at the shark.

It was a very aggressive bull shark.

When mentioning sharks, the first thing many people think of is the great white shark, and they think that only the great white shark is the most ferocious animal in the world.

But in fact, the degree of danger of the bull shark is not weaker than that of the great white shark.

The full name of the bull shark is the bull shark, which is a kind of shark belonging to the family Carcharidae and the genus Carcharidae. It has a spindle-shaped body, a thick trunk, a wide and flat head, a depression on the top and bottom of the tail base, and a very wide and round snout. Short, round eyes, well-developed nictitating membrane, wide triangular anterior nasal valve, no oronasal groove or tentacles, arc-shaped cleft mouth, upper and lower jaws tightly closed when the mouth is closed, no teeth, upper jaw tooth sides are flat and wide, with thin margins Serrate, tip erect or slightly oblique, without small cusp, mandibular teeth narrower and erect or slightly oblique, margin serrate, near base smooth.

The bull shark had no ridges between its dorsal fins, just two large dorsal fins.

The first dorsal fin is broad and originates opposite the position of the pectoral fin.

The second dorsal fin is relatively small and originates before the origin of the anal fin.

Its pectoral fins are very large, Xiang Yang looked at it and thought it was a bit like a sickle.

Xiang Yang stared at the bull shark, and frowned involuntarily. The probability of seeing a bull shark in this coral sea area is very high. Bull sharks are large animals that like to live on the coast, bays, estuaries, rivers or lakes. shark.

It is the only shark that can live deep in freshwater rivers and even lakes.

The reason why Xiang Yang really frowned is that the bull shark is one of the three most dangerous sharks to humans among all sharks.

For fishermen, the only tiger sharks and white sharks that are as dangerous as bull sharks are.

The bull shark hunts its prey very fast, and the bull shark likes to eat bony fish, and humans are also in its diet.

Of course, in addition to humans, bull sharks will also prey on other sharks, crustaceans, cephalopods, sea urchins, sea snakes, turtles, and even garbage.

At the moment, the bull shark is hunting a gentian grouper.

The gentian grouper was also a very cunning master. It hid motionless in a crevice of a rock, and it was as rhythmic as it was with the bull shark.

Xiang Yang scratched his head in embarrassment, this bull shark is not easy to provoke.

The bony fish and small sharks make up the vast majority of the bull shark's diet.

In the western Atlantic, they typically prey on aggressive marine life such as mullet, tarpon, catfish, and eels.

They also eat stingrays and baby sharks, including small individuals of their own species in their inshore nursery habitats.

Although bull sharks appear sluggish when swimming slowly on the bottom of the sea, they can burst quickly and move at a speed of more than 19 kilometers per hour within a short distance.

But this bull shark, Xiang Yang can't do without driving it away.

For Xiang Yang, the risk factor is too great for the crew to dive and fish in the same sea area as this bull shark.

After thinking about it, Xiang Yang still decided that the bull shark must be driven away.

Of course, Xiang Yang has to think carefully about the specific method of expulsion.

Xiang Yang remembered that the bull shark seemed to be an endangered animal as well.

Although not a target species for fishermen, bull sharks are frequently caught in fisheries around the world.

This is due to the fact that bull sharks like to live in estuaries and offshore areas close to humans and are therefore susceptible to human influence.

The Natal Shark Council reported that the average size of bull sharks caught in its beach nets had dropped significantly in recent years, which did not bode well for the population of the species, and until 2009 bull sharks Sharks are not legally protected in any part of their range.

Ten years ago, even if someone had realized that the population of bull sharks in estuaries and freshwater areas was more susceptible to human factors than other coastal or offshore areas, environmental pollution and fishing had a negative impact on juveniles living in estuaries and other freshwater areas. Sharks are also more affected.

However, because fishermen have not carried out targeted fishing for bull sharks, their population has not declined significantly.

So when humans really discovered that the number of bull sharks has decreased significantly, the bull shark has become an endangered animal, and its protection level is still relatively high.

Xiang Yang had no way to return to the boat to inform the crew, and use advanced modern fishing technology to catch or drive away the bull shark.

Xiang Yang had no choice but to think of a way to get the bull shark away.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yang slowly swam towards the bull shark.

Soon, the bull shark found Xiang Yang. It instantly gave up the gentian grouper in the crevice of the rock, turned around, and stared fiercely and coldly at Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, and immediately stopped approaching the bull shark.

The size of this bull shark is not very big, only about two meters. It may have been frightened by Xiang Yang's size, so it didn't rush towards Xiang Yang immediately.

But it only hesitated for a moment, then swung its tail and slowly swam towards Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang smiled.

The reason why fishermen feel that bull sharks are more terrifying and difficult to deal with than great white sharks is that the ability of bull sharks to enter freshwater waters is only a small part of the factor.

The main reason is that the IQ of these bull sharks is not as low as that of the great white shark. They will not fight endlessly with the prey as soon as they see the prey, and they will never kill the prey or be killed by the prey. give up.

However, bull sharks have a very cruel temperament. After they have tested their prey, they feel that their strength is stronger than their prey, and they will fight to the end with their prey. Feeling that their strength is weaker than their prey, they will run away immediately.

This is what fishermen hate the most.

Xiang Yang fixed his eyes on the bull shark that was slowly approaching him, and every nerve in his body tensed up.

If an ordinary fisherman encounters a bull shark at the bottom of the sea, he would have no resistance at all, but Xiang Yang is not an ordinary fisherman, he has a mysterious jade shell to protect him, and he also wears protective equipment that can resist the bite of a great white shark .
