My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang has seen a lot of pearl oysters, and even Xiang Yang has seen seabed beaches covered with pearl oysters.

Although Xiang Yang has never deliberately searched for pearl oysters, he collects a little every time he encounters them, and does not force him if he does not encounter them, but when he sees a huge number of pearl oysters lying on the bottom of the sea, Xiang Yang's heart is actually quite happy.

With so many pearl oysters, you can always find a few high-grade pearls. As long as you buy a batch of pearls, you can definitely make a lot of money.

In the market, the demand for natural pearls has been increasing day by day.

This is closely related to the income level of the people in the country.

In recent years, the income level of Chinese people is getting higher and higher, and the demand for gemstones such as pearls is also increasing.

In addition, unlike emeralds, pearls are not eternal. After a few decades, the luster on the surface of pearls will disappear, and they will no longer have the luster of jewels.

So pearl is actually a consumable, a very luxurious consumable.

But pearls are very popular among oriental women because of their jewel-like appearance. In recent years, the price of some relatively high-end pearls has exceeded gold by more than ten times.

Xiang Yang picked out a few dead pearl oysters and opened their shells.

It's a pity that the pearls in the shell are not top-grade, either the appearance is not round enough, or the particles are too small.

Xiang Yang looked through dozens of pearl oysters in a row, and when he saw that the pearls in these shells were all of this grade, his face immediately showed disappointment.

Helpless, Xiang Yang had no choice but to focus on those beautiful tropical sea fish again.

Xiang Yang found that although the quality of pearl oysters in this sea area is not good, the grade of fishery resources is really very high.

Especially the grouper. In just a short while, Xiang Yang has discovered three kinds of grouper, the gentian grouper, the eastern star grouper, and the blue grouper. They are not small in size, and they are very precious grouper.

Xiang Yang picked two Dong Xingban, who were both good in size and appearance, and grabbed them, and threw them into the net pocket.

At this time, it was almost half an hour before Xiang Yang went into the water.

After Xiang Yang grabbed the two East Star Spots, he didn't hesitate anymore and quickly swam towards the sea.

"Captain, you are coming up." Seeing Xiang Yang coming up, Zhou Wang immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Xiang Yang looked at the form Zhou Wang was holding in his hand, and asked, "How many people are you registering?"

Zhou Wang nodded, "I'm still worried about the roll call, so I made a form in case there are crew members still on the bottom of the sea, but I didn't find out."

Xiang Yang nodded. Chen Qingsheng had never done this before, and there was no accident on board. But Xiang Yang didn't think Zhou Wang's approach was meaningless.

As the saying goes, a bad pen is worse than a good memory.

Xiang Yang felt that there was nothing wrong with being careful about this kind of matter that involved major safety issues.

"Is the crew all up?" Xiang Yang asked.

Zhou Wang nodded, "This time, Captain, you came up a bit late. You have been down for 30 minutes, and the other crew members who entered the water have all stayed on the deck now."

Xiang Yang looked towards the deck, and saw the crew members sitting on the deck in twos and threes to rest.

"How's the harvest?" Xiang Yang asked everyone with a smile.

Seeing that it was Xiang Yang, the crew members who were resting on the deck quickly stood up.

"Brother Yang, you're finally here."

Fang Youqun flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and then ran to Xiang Yang excitedly, "We made a fortune this time, Brother Yang, guess what we found on the bottom of the sea?"

Xiang Yang said speechlessly: "There are so many kinds of marine life, how can I guess that?"

"Guess what." Fang Youqun said reluctantly.

"I guess it's pearls." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right. We found pearl oysters, but we didn't find any valuable pearls. Brother Yang, guess what else we found." Fang Youqun continued.

Xiang Yang shook his head with a smile, "Looking at the expression on your face, you should have found some valuable seafood, tell me, what is it?"

Fang Youqun still refused to say.

At this time, Zhou Wang passed by. He pushed Fang Youqun away, and said to Xiang Yang: "Captain, don't listen to Fang Youqun's tricks. In fact, we found a wrinkled-lipped shark on the bottom of the sea. It was brought together by concerted efforts."

Xiang Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, "Wrinkled-lipped shark? This fish is not so easy to catch. How did you get it?"

Although the wrinkled-lipped shark is not as scary as the bull shark, it is still a fish with a shark in its name. It can grow to more than 1.5 meters when it is an adult. At the bottom of the sea, it is difficult to get such a big fish on board by manpower. Not a simple matter.

"It's my credit. I stunned it with a biological stun gun, and then I called two people to lift it up from the bottom of the sea." Fang Youqun said triumphantly.

Xiang Yang smiled when he heard the words, and praised: "Okay, you did a good job, and you can use your brain to think about things."

The wrinkled lip shark is a very common small shark.

Its body is quite long, the front part is thick, the back part is thin, the head is flat and slightly short, the snout is somewhat short, the eyes are oval, the orbital ridges are obvious, and there are instant folds.

This is a bottom-dwelling shark that likes to live on the continental shelf or island shelf. It often appears in the shallow waters of estuaries or harbors, especially sand and mud covered by benthic algae. Although it does not go directly to freshwater like the bull shark It survives in waters, but can also tolerate low-salinity waters. It mainly feeds on small fish and crustaceans. It is an oviparous creature. It can give birth to ten to twenty juveniles in one litter. It is widely distributed in the Northwest Pacific.

The body length of the newly born frilled lip shark is generally about 110 mm, and the adult body length can reach 150 cm.

The staple food of this kind of shark is small fish, crustaceans and benthic invertebrates, such as anchovies, green scales, yellow crucian carp, blue-spotted threadfin, barracuda and other fish.

Ruffled sharks are usually solitary, although some may congregate to rest together in resting areas on the bottom, but groups of ruffled sharks have rarely been spotted.

In the early years, the wrinkled-lipped shark was generally regarded as a fish with poor meat quality. If fishermen caught it, they were generally treated as trash fish.

But in recent years, with most sharks being overfished by humans and listed as protected species, the value of this almost non-aggressive shark has really skyrocketed.

Although few people would like to eat its fish head, its skin can be made into various luxury leather products, and its liver can be used to extract cod liver oil.

Most importantly, the fins of the wrinkled lip shark can also be made into shark fins, and they are extremely popular in the market.

Although the price is not comparable to that of Jiutian shark fin made from basking shark fin, it is still worth a lot.
