Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 1015 1022. Poison Fish Ivy (15)

Silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, herring, catfish, loach...

Freshwater shrimps, crabs, water insects and even water birds...

Looking at these dead creatures floating on the water, Ao Muyang's face turned pale!

Yang Shuyong said cautiously: "This is someone who has been poisoned, but who would do this? This is too unreasonable."

Another thing he didn't say was that the people who did this were tired of living. This was blatantly throwing shit in Aocun Ba's face. The last person who did this was raising chrysanthemums in prison. Who is so bold?

Poisonous fish is not uncommon in rural fish farms, especially those contracted private fish ponds. From time to time, jealous or grudges will sprinkle pesticides into them.

Therefore, in rural areas, when someone contracts a fish pond, the whole family will go to live next to the fish pond. People in the city think that this is because they are afraid that someone will come to steal the fish. In fact, this is not the case. What they are afraid of is that someone will come to poison the fish pond.

If you steal a fish, you will only lose a few fish, and the owner will make a fuss at most if you find out. Poisoning a fish pond will kill the entire nest and can make you bankrupt.

There has been no experience of poisoning in Ambergris Lake in history. Perhaps firstly, no one has contracted this lake before, and secondly, this lake is vast and has a strong carrying capacity for pesticides, so no one has done such a thankless task.

Now, this happened.

Ao Muyang immediately reported to the police station. Song Gongming drove over to take photos and check the situation, and then asked: "How do you judge whether the fish here were poisoned and not electrocuted? Are the electric fish thieves here to take revenge?" ?”

"They were poisoned. If this was electrocuted by fish thieves, then why didn't they take them away? Besides, look at the dead state of these fish and the dead water birds. They are definitely poisoned."

Song Gongming nodded in agreement, and Ao Muyang asked him what he should do. He said: "To poison so many fish, a lot of pesticides must have been used. When I get back, I will immediately check the pesticide stations and shops in our town. Nowadays, pesticide sales in the town are all over the place." If you want to register, whoever did it will never be able to escape.”

"What if we didn't buy the pesticide in our town?" Ao Muyang asked again.

Song Gongming said: "Then go to the surrounding towns and even counties to investigate. Those who poison the lake cannot be outsiders, but usually locals. If they want to buy pesticides, they will buy it locally. Even if it is bought from other places, it We can find some clues, so don’t get angry yet.”

Ao Mukang, who came after hearing the news, whispered to Ao Muyang: "Could he be an accomplice of the electric fish thief from outside?"

Ao Muyang thought so too. The most suspected perpetrators of the crime were electric fish thieves from other places. Moreover, electric fish poisoned fish regardless of family, and electric fish thieves would often poison fish.

To them, the electric fish has already given birth to a son without a butthole, so it doesn't matter if there is another poisonous fish.

After the police came to collect evidence, he asked the villagers to salvage these fish. Ambergris Lake is a scenic spot, and tourists visit the lake every day. If you see the lake full of dead fish, who will be in the mood to play on the lake? ?

This incident alarmed many people, and Professor Yin, who had the habit of getting up early for a walk, also came.

After strolling by the lake for a while, the old man went to find Ao Muyang and said, "I heard from the villagers that the police station has been here?"

"right."

"Are they planning to investigate this case through pesticides?"

"right."

"You call them, this road will not work. The fish and shrimps in the lake were not poisoned by pesticides, but died by poisonous fish ivy." Professor Yin held up a section of green branches to him with a solemn expression. .

Ao Muyang asked subconsciously: "Poison Fish Ivy? Is this Poison Fish Ivy?"

When it comes to poisonous fish vine, he is no stranger to it. Fishermen all know that this thing is the nemesis of fish and shrimps.

However, this kind of plant does not grow locally in Hongyang, and fishery is one of the pillar industries of Hongyang. The local management of this plant is strict. Once someone is found to be planting or carrying it, they will be immediately investigated and punished according to law.

Professor Yin nodded, handed him this branch and said: "I walked around the lake and looked around. There were a lot of these things on the ground. Someone must have brought a lot of poisonous fish vines here. You tell the villagers, first go along the lake. If you salvage this plant, the roots of poison ivy are highly toxic and will continue to release rotenone in the water, which will continue to harm the creatures in the lake. "

Ao Muyang quickly issued an order, and the fishing boat replaced the dragnet with a trawl net and launched investigations in several areas with a large number of dead fish.

He personally led people to collect poison ivy along the lake. Professor Yin came to help and introduced him to the plant poison ivy.

Poison ivy is a leguminous vine and climbing shrub that is completely bald. Its leaves, rhizomes and fruits are all poisonous. The roots of the plant are particularly toxic because the roots contain a large amount of rotenone.

Rotenone is highly toxic and very harmful to fish, but it is also an excellent pesticide that can control more than 800 kinds of pests. Many pesticides contain rotenone and its similar organisms.

Professor Yin asked Ao Muyang to clean up the poison ivy plants that fell by the lake first to prevent them from being eaten by humans and animals. The whole plant of the fish plant is poisonous, and the harm to humans and animals is not as terrible as to fish and insects. However, if eaten by mistake, a series of problems will also occur, such as abdominal pain, vomiting, paroxysmal cramps, slowed breathing, etc. If rescued If not timely, death may occur due to paralysis of the respiratory center.

There are many types of rotenia. Professor Yin told Ao Muyang that the hairy rotenia next to their lake is the most toxic. The rotenone content in its root system is as high as 12%.

"Find a pond in the Jiangnan water town. As long as you smash the roots of the hairy fish vine and put it into the pond to stir it up, fish will float to the surface in a few seconds, and the surrounding fish will begin to die in large numbers within a minute." Professor Yin said solemnly.

Hearing that this thing was so terrible, Ao Muyang frowned and said, "Professor, the poisonous fish vine is so harmful to the fishery, and the country doesn't care about it?"

The old man shook his head: "It can't be managed. This is a wild shrub. There are many in the coastal riverbank shrubs, seaside shrubs or mangroves near the coast. In some places, it grows on hillsides and in the wild. Because it can reproduce by cuttings, it can germinate in all seasons and is more likely to survive in the rainy season."

"Moreover, this fish vine will not grow in the fish pond of the fish farm by itself. For the scientific research department, it is an insecticide extract and a Chinese medicinal material. Dried fish vine can treat eczema and rheumatic joint swelling and pain. Many villages in southeast China have planted this thing."

Ao Muyang understood when he heard this. The Fisheries Bureau had already found out the source of this batch of electric fish thieves. Their hometown is in southeast China.

He believed that this was revenge from the electric fish thieves, who roamed the coastal areas, wreaking havoc in one sea area and then moving to another, and there were many of them.

There were at least hundreds of electric fish thieves who came to Hongyang, and now less than half of them have been caught, and there are still a large number of fish that have escaped the net. It must be that those people found out that their companions were caught by the people of Longtou Village, so they took revenge on Longxiang Lake.
