space fisherman

Chapter 502
"Haha, that's good. I'll ask Fatty to make two for a taste. Boss, you won't be reluctant, will you?"

When Ma Hua heard that the fish was delicious, she immediately became excited.

Yu Hongbo next to him also interjected at this moment:
"It's so beautiful, isn't it a pity to eat it? Can it be raised as an ornamental fish?"

Just when Yu Hongbo wanted to move forward, suddenly a crew member pointed at the writhing fish on the deck and shouted loudly:
"Look, why did the fish change color?"

As the crew member yelled, all the crew members noticed that the fish on the deck were indeed starting to change color.

Although it is not obvious, there is an obvious change in color from when it was just caught.

Everyone was overwhelmed by this miraculous phenomenon, and all eyes were on Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan touched his nose in embarrassment, and then explained:

"This is normal, after the beautiful dolphin comes out of the water, these beautiful colors will gradually fade with the struggle.

From dazzling gold to pale mercury, eventually all colors fade away and freeze in the taupe of death.

Don't think that he can change his color only before he dies. Dolphins can also change their body color at ordinary times, just like chameleons on land. "

Seeing the crew members all looked in disbelief.

Ye Yuan ignored the expressions of the crew and continued:
"Like most fishes, the pigment cells on the body surface of dolphin can shrink or expand under the action of nerve and humoral regulation.

When they swell, they diffuse the color across the surface, changing the body color.

However, this alone still cannot create such a strong visual impact.

In addition to regular chromatophores.

Dolphin also has a very thick layer of iridescent cells in the dermis, which are colorless in nature but contain numerous guanine crystals in their vesicles.

They can subtly reflect and diffract sunlight by changing the orientation of the purine crystals.

Thus creating a rainbow of unpredictable structural colors.

This is where the crisp blues and vibrant greens of the dolphin come from.

The combined effect of the overlapping of these two kinds of cells makes Mahi-Mahi like a metallic sci-fi sports car, which can change color in an instant. "

After Ye Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the bewildered expression of the crew, and he stroked his forehead with one hand helplessly.

Knowing that these words of myself are in vain, it seems that no one understands them.

Ma Hua was the first to react, and then asked Ye Yuan:

"Boss, I don't understand what you said, but I want to ask you, is this dolphin from the movie "Life of Pi".

In order to survive, the child hammered the head of the big fish one after another, and the body of the big fish turned from gorgeous to dim with the passage of life."

Ye Yuan really didn't expect that Ma Hua, who is usually carefree, would be so careful when watching movies.

"Yes it is"

After receiving Ye Yuan's accurate answer, Ma Hua sighed and said in a low voice:

"The day of parting
like a dying dolphin
Every pain brings a new color to it
The last and the cutest
until it finally fades away

Everything went dark"

Ye Yuan was a little confused by Ma Hua's words.

He didn't expect that Ma Hua, who is usually cheerful, would have so many emotions.

Ye Yuan happened to know the source of Ma Hua's poem.

That's Byron borrowing the death of "dolphin" in his long poem "Child Harold's Travels" to describe the alternation of day and night.

The "dolphin" here is not the dolphin in many translations, but the dolphin fish, which is known as "dolphin fish".

Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves. The life and death of dolphin let people touch the beauty and fragility of life.

Ye Yuan didn't expect that it was just an ordinary fishing operation, which made several crew members feel a little depressed.

"I said how many brothers, it's not enough, isn't it just a few dolphins? It's not a protected animal, so don't let the girls chirp?"

Ye Yuan was also really speechless, the manly-looking crew members were actually made into this appearance by a poem by Ma Hua.

After a few words of persuasion, Ye Yuan stopped persuading. After all, there are some things that haven't been touched, so it's really hard to say.

Ye Yuan has always believed in one sentence, that is, don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering.

So Ma Hua and the others had such a big reaction, it should have something to do with life and death.

But what it is, Ye Yuan doesn't want to explore, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

I believe that these crew members will react with depression because of Ma Hua's poem at the same time.

It should be related to their experiences together, Ye Yuan knows that even if he asks, he may not be able to ask the answer.

Now that it's all like this, he doesn't care about these crew members. I believe that it's not the first time that they have such a low mood, and they can adjust themselves.

He patted Yu Hongbo on the shoulder and asked him to arrange the sorting of the crew.

He walked back to the bow alone, continuing to look for new schools of fish.

. . . . . .

The emotions of the crew came and went quickly, within ten minutes, Ye Yuan heard Ma Hua's unique laughter coming from behind him.

At this moment, Ye Yuan doesn't have time to pay attention to what the crew members are talking about.

At this moment, he is using his perception to look at an unknown jellyfish.

At first Ye Yuan's perception didn't observe too carefully, at first glance he thought it was a big plastic bag floating in the sea.

But Ye Yuan sensed that he scanned it unintentionally, only to find that the big plastic bag turned out to be a jellyfish that Ye Yuan had never heard of.

The umbrella body of this unknown jellyfish can reach about 2 meters, and the length of the tentacles can reach 15 meters.

This is unscientific. A jellyfish with such a large umbrella should not have such short tentacles.

Take the largest lion's mane jellyfish among the jellyfish known to mankind.

The umbrella-shaped body is only 2 meters.There are eight groups of tentacles, up to 150, and can be more than 35 meters long

But the jellyfish that Ye Yuan sees now, although he has never seen it in any data, it is obviously not a lion's mane jellyfish.

Although he has the same body size as the lion's mane jellyfish, his tentacles are significantly shorter than the lion's mane jellyfish.

Not only that, but his number of tentacles is much less than that of the lion's mane jellyfish.

Ye Yuan was rather curious about an unknown creature.

Just when Ye Yuan was about to go into the sea to collect this unknown jellyfish, a group of sea turtles swam towards this jellyfish.

"Fuck."

This is the thought in Ye Yuan's heart.

Sea turtles are the natural enemies of jellyfish, although the number of this group of sea turtles is not very large, only a dozen or so.

But I believe that this jellyfish has become a meal for sea turtles before I get there.

Things were just as Ye Yuan thought, the group of sea turtles came to the jellyfish.
