Golden Fishing Village

The sea fishing boat rode the wind and waves on its return journey, which was considered a fruitful return.

The harvest of squid, octopus and flower eels on this trip was much more abundant than Lao Ao had expected.

The flower eels are not brought ashore, but are sent to the Zhuantou Island fishery to be cultured first, and then sent to Ambergris Lake when they are hatched.

There are already some eels in the fishery, and adding flower eels can enrich the ecosystem of the fishery.

Seeing those eels, Lao Ao felt a little emotional for a moment. They were given to him by Sun Beilong. As a result, the eels are still there, and they look like they have endless descendants, but the boss Sun Beilong is dead. And he has no descendants yet...

At this moment, Lao Ao felt a little emotional, so what if he was born as a human being? So what if you are awesome as a person? In the end, you may not be as alive as a fish!

After releasing the flower eels, he took the opportunity to check the construction progress of Brick Island. A tidal energy-electric energy conversion machine was being installed in the sea. A garden was built on the island. Two villas, one large and one small, were being poured. It looked like it wouldn't take long. The island can begin to show its scale.

Leaving Brick Island, the fishing boat turned around and headed towards Longtou Village Pier.

He met Su Penghui on the dock. The two met each other. Su Penghui asked: "Xiao Ao, haven't you stopped going to sea recently? Why are you going to sea? What are you carrying in your hand?"

Lu Wuji knew him and Li Ji, and also knew that these two old men were foodies, so he raised the big black bag in his hand and said with a mysterious smile: "We went to the sea to find treasures, especially novel Haizhen!"

Su Penghui became excited when he mentioned food. He quickly came up and asked, "What is it?"

"See for yourself."

Su Penghui couldn't bear the itch. He opened the black bag and took a look. He was immediately disappointed: "Oh, Shi Ju."

Shi Ju is the local common name for octopus. However, with the increase in tourists, the villagers no longer use these common names and have changed them to scientific names that are easier for tourists to understand.

The black bag contained either squid or octopus, but Su Penghui was patient and looked at them one by one.

These octopuses and squid are still alive, but they are tied up and left to produce ink.

Su Penghui misunderstood and asked, "What are you doing? Are you raising molluscs?"

Ao Muyang shook his head and wanted to explain. Su Penghui continued: "If you want to raise molluscs, I can help you. Some time ago, a colleague of mine developed a mollusk delivery room that can help squid, octopus and squid grow on it. perform spawning.”

Hearing this, Lu Wuyi exclaimed: "Mom, society has progressed to this point? There are delivery rooms for molluscs. Is this a well-off society? No, this is a comprehensive well-off society!"

Su Penghui said with a smile: "They are just tools for squid and other mollusk farms. You are exaggerating. But now the State Oceanic Administration is purchasing them and investing them in the South China Sea and other places to assist the expansion of some rare mollusk populations."

Molluscs have many things in common, one of which is their love for their children.

Take the octopus as an example. Octopuses are cruel and aggressive in the sea, but they are extremely protective of their children. During the breeding season, the female octopus will lay strings of plump, crystal-clear eggs. After that, she will guard the eggs she has laid.

It guards these egg cases not only to provide protection, but also to constantly flip and caress them with a long bowl, use a funnel to absorb water and then spray water to clean them until the baby octopus hatches. During this period, the female octopus often dies of exhaustion.

Ao Muyang was very interested in this kind of tool. He nodded and said: "Okay, Teacher Su, please help me get a batch of these hatching beds. I will put them into the sea outside to attract squid, octopus and the like to lay eggs. In addition, To show my gratitude, I’ll treat you to squid rice sausage.”

Su Penghui winked at him and said, "There's no need for this. Aren't you going to get married soon? I'll just treat it as a wedding gift to you, okay?"

Ao Muyang smiled happily and said, "Okay."

The wedding gift Su Penghui gave him was a mollusc maternity bed. Li Ji was indeed his good friend, so he gave him a similar gift called a turtle escape device.

Because there is a turtle sanctuary in Longtou Village, turtles migrate every year to lay their eggs, and the number of migrating turtles increases year by year. It is becoming a world-renowned turtle sanctuary.

The reason is simple. Ao Muyang feeds all the turtles that come to the protected area gold drops. These turtles will encounter new turtles and even turtle groups during their migration. Turtles transformed by gold drops are often stronger and smarter, and will mix into new turtles. They were the leader of the group, so the other turtles followed them to Longtou Village Sanctuary.

The cycle continues like this, and the number of turtles arriving every year increases year by year.

This is a good thing for protected areas, but not necessarily for sea turtles.

They have to swim a long distance in the bay to reach the protected area. There are many fish and shrimps in Hongyang Bay, and trawlers are often operating. In this case, sea turtles are easily harmed.

In order to solve this problem, Li Ji led his students to do special projects to tackle the problem, and finally designed such a turtle escape device.

This device is made of a one-centimeter-long galvanized pipe and a two-centimeter-long fiberglass rod connected together. The pipes are connected and assembled into a frame structure, which is equipped with a diagonal barrier designed at a forty-five-degree angle. The distance between the bars can be adjusted, and there is a valve at the top.

Li Ji demonstrated to him that after installing this device between the net body and the net bag of the trawl net, the turtles dragged in would be forced into the frame structure by the fishing net, and then escape from the trawl net through the trap door. .

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "This thing is really great and can play a big role in protecting sea turtles. But Mr. Li, I'm the one getting married, not the sea turtle. Why are you giving me this gift?"

Li Ji stretched out his index finger and said, "First, you are not a sea turtle, but Mr. Lu is."

He stretched out his middle finger and continued, "Second, this equipment is useless in my hands. After giving it to you, you can promote it through the Fisheries Association. At that time, I will contact the media to build momentum for you, which can help you improve your impression in the minds of the public and officials. I heard that your association only has vice presidents but no president? Do you understand what I mean?"

Ao Muyang certainly understood, and then he shook his head: "I don't want to be the president."

Li Ji said, "That's your business. Anyway, I sent you the wedding gift."

Ao Muyang was immediately confused. Is there any forced wedding gift?

However, as someone sent him a wedding gift, he still felt very happy because the taste of the wedding came out.

In addition, after April, fishing boats in the village kept going out to sea to catch fresh seafood in preparation for the wedding. His wedding became a topic of discussion, with people talking about it every day, which made the village lively.
