Golden Fishing Village

"Hiss!" He gasped subconsciously.

Ao Muyang waved his hand, and the manta ray twitched like Nicholas - Asian Dance King - Si Zhao. Not to mention, it was quite rhythmic.

The manta ray shuddered and slid away, and a long, round fish emerged.

This fish is about half a meter away. It has a round head, a round brain, a round chest, a round waist, and two small round eyes. It has a shuttle-like body, gray-brown body color, no scales, and has whiskers at the corners of its mouth. It looks like a dragon. The catfish produced in Saliva Lake are somewhat similar.

Ao Muyang's whole palm was numb. He looked at the fish in astonishment and exclaimed: "Electric eel?!"

Su Jinnan next to him turned around and asked, "What?"

Ao Muyang pointed at the fish blankly and said, "Why is there an electric eel here?"

Su Jinnan walked over quickly. He squatted down and looked at the twisting fish and said with a smile, "Is this an electric eel? It looks like a catfish."

Ao Muyang said: "It's normal. The electric eel is not an eel. It is actually a close relative of the catfish."

A look of surprise appeared on Su Jinnan's face: "Oh, that's right, I always thought electric eels were also eels."

"Not only are electric eels not eels, lampreys are not eels, and many kinds of names with eels are not eels." After Tao Qinghong walked out of the captain's cabin and heard their words, she began to laugh at Su Jinnan, "It seems that some people are not eels either. People, like you—fuck, electric eel!”

While he was talking and laughing, he looked down at the fish that was twisting its body, and suddenly showed an expression of surprise.

Su Jinnan rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, Xiao Ao even said this is an electric eel. Why, it's the first time I've seen it?"

Tao Qinghong picked up Yahuazi: "This is really the first time I've seen this. Isn't this electric eel a freshwater fish? How can it appear in the sea?"

Ao Muyang nodded: "Yes, I'm also wondering, why do electric eels appear in the sea?"

Su Jinnan said in surprise: "Oh, electric eels are freshwater fish? I didn't know this."

The three of them squatted together and looked at the fish, confused.

Su Jinnan said: "This kind of fish can discharge electricity. Please touch it, Old Tao. I don't believe it."

Tao Qinghong glared at him and said, "You are as full of bad ideas as before. If you don't believe me, just reach out and touch it."

While the two were arguing with each other, Ao Muyang gently reached out and touched the electric eel again.

The electric eel's fat body twisted, and a burst of electricity suddenly appeared. Ao Muyang's arm subconsciously twitched twice.

Tao Qinghong quickly stopped him and said, "Don't act recklessly, Xiao Ao. Electric eels can emit up to 800 volts of electricity and can electrocute people."

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "It's okay. To discharge eight hundred volts of electricity, you need a two-meter-long electric eel. This fish is still small and its discharge capacity is not good."

And he knew that if the electric eel was frightened when it was caught, it would definitely discharge wildly, and the electricity stored in its body may have been released to a certain extent.

"Then you can't look for electricity." Tao Qinghong advised.

Ao Muyang smiled sheepishly and said, "No, actually it's pretty cool to let it power up."

Su Jinnan reached out and touched it, and then shook his upper body numbly. He smacked his lips and laughed: "Hey, don't tell me, it's really refreshing."

Tao Qinghong touched the electric eel suspiciously, and as usual, his arm twitched.

After trying it, the three of them looked at each other, and then they all lowered their heads and stretched out their fingers. You and I poked the electric eel...

"Why do you think this electric eel discharges electricity?" Su Jinnan asked.

He is a veteran who has been transferred from the army. He has excellent military qualities and average knowledge, otherwise he would not just be a captain in the coast guard detachment.

Ao Muyang explained: "Captain Tao lost just now. Although the electric eel is called an eel, it is not actually a type of eel. It is closer to catfish in terms of biological classification..."

"What's the use of saying this?" Su Jinnan didn't understand.

Ao Muyang said: "I'm going to explain it right away. There is a kind of freshwater fish called electric catfish among catfish. The body structure of electric eel is similar to it. Their muscle tissue is specialized to form a discharge body. Almost all muscle tissue All can be discharged.”

"The head of the electric eel is the negative electrode, and the tail is the positive electrode. Each discharge body can produce about 0.15 volts of voltage, and 80% of their muscles are discharge bodies. There are thousands of them in total. Taken together It has powerful discharge ability..."

Tao Qinghong nodded: "That's almost it."

Su Jinnan said contemptuously: "Old Tao, stop pretending, you seem to understand what I'm doing."

Tao Qinghong touched her nose and said, "I also know a little bit, but I don't know it in detail like Captain Ao. Captain Ao, you can do that, you're a college student in oceanography?"

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "A high school student, I just learned some marine biology from a professor."

He learned the knowledge about electric eels from Li Ji. He had to thank Li Ji, otherwise the opportunity to show off would be gone.

There are experts in the coast guard under Tao Qinghong, one of whom is a graduate student from the National Ocean University. Tao Qinghong called him over, pointed at the electric eel and said: "Xiao Lin, we have encountered a problem, what do you think this is?"

Xiao Lin blinked and said hesitantly: "Is this a spotted sea catfish?"

There are indeed spots on this fish. If it hadn't been electrocuted from the beginning, Ao Muyang would have thought it was a sea catfish.

Su Jinnan was about to laugh subconsciously, but Tao Qinghong glared at him fiercely, and then said angrily: "Mad, I don't even recognize this, this is an electric eel!"

Xiao Lin was embarrassed, and quickly bent down to salute: "I'm sorry, Captain Tao, I have never seen an electric eel before, so I immediately recognized it. Yes, yes, yes, three pairs of fish tentacles, pointed eyes, this is an electric eel."

Ao Muyang came to his rescue and said: "Officer Lin, as far as I know, electric eels around the world mainly grow in freshwater basins in tropical and temperate regions. They are freshwater fish, right? How can they appear in the sea?"

Xiao Lin thought for a while and said slowly: "To be precise, electric eels are native to the sea. They are a type of migratory fish that travel back to the river to grow up in freshwater environments. In other words, there are fish in the sea. Electric eels, but if they want to grow up, electric eels have to go to rivers and lakes.”

"Then what's going on with this fish?" Tao Qinghong asked, "Explain it to us."

Xiao Lin frowned and said: "I just admitted it was wrong. Looking at it now, this fish should be a European electric eel or an American electric eel. These two kinds of eels live outside the Atlantic Ocean and can live in the ocean. Other eels are distributed in the Indian Ocean and Freshwater basins in the Pacific region, such as the Amazon River, Guyana River, and Orinoco River basins in South America.”

Ao Muyang suddenly said: "So that's it. Thank you Officer Lin. I learned a lot today."

After being played with by three people, the electric eel was exhausted and almost dead. It lay stretched out in a pile of dead fish. Only the fish's mouth could open and close, and its eyes were staring and motionless.

Ao Muyang knew that the electric eel was very energetic, so he was not worried. He picked it up and threw it into the water, saying: "Soon it will be full of energy."

After the electric eel was thrown in, the four of them prepared to continue working.

At this time, a crew member asked tremblingly: "Officer, why did you throw the electric eel that our captain kept in the fish tank into the sea? This is not a fish that we poached, this is an ornamental fish that our captain bought."

The four people's eyes suddenly widened: "What?" "Ah?" "WHAT?" "Are you kidding me?"

"Really, how can there be electric eels in the South China Sea? Electric eels are freshwater fish and are always raised in fresh water." The crew member answered seriously.
