My Deep-sea Fishery

　　 It is precisely because of this habit of lionfish that it is extremely difficult for ordinary fishermen to catch lionfish.

　　 There is a common saying in the market that the rare thing is expensive, so the price of lionfish in the ornamental fish market is not low, usually a slap-sized one can sell for dozens of dollars.

　　 "The lionfish has a withdrawn character and likes to live alone. How can our net catch so many lionfish?" Chen Qingsheng wondered.

"This is not difficult to explain. Lionfish are nocturnal. At night, they slowly undulate the fins on their backs and hips in the dark water to swim and forage. When the sun rises, they hide in the shadows of corals and rocks. When resting, they will lower their heads and be completely still. They can communicate with nearby companions through touch, smell and secreted chemicals. Our boat has been on this piece of water for a while. It must have been accidentally. A lionfish was used as a parasol, and a large group of lionfish came by calling friends." Xiang Yang explained.

　　 Lionfish are at the highest level of the food web in the coral reef environment.

　　 They mainly feed on crustaceans, invertebrates and small fishes living in coral reefs.

　　 Lionfish eat a huge amount. An adult lionfish will eat 8.2 times its own body weight every year.

　　 Sunset is the best time for lionfish to hunt. During this time, most fish and invertebrates will return to their resting place, and nocturnal fish will come out for food.

　　Because the surrounding animals are ready to rest, all lionfish do not need to spend too much energy to find prey.

　　 The lionfish is a silent killer on the bottom of the sea. It usually quietly swims around the coral reef when it preys, suddenly attacking and catching the victim inadvertently.

　　 When a lionfish tries to hunt small fish, it usually spreads all the fins on its chest to cover the movement of its caudal fin. In addition, its bright color blends with the background of the coral reef, making it difficult for prey to spot the lionfish.

　　 After catching the prey, the lionfish will swallow the prey whole in a big mouth.

　　 As long as the swallowing process is fast or smooth enough, other fish with the victim may not be found by their companions after being eaten, at this time the lionfish can continue to hunt down other unsuspecting fish.

　　 Lionfish sometimes hunt in the open sea.

They will observe a school of small fish at a depth of 20-30 cm from the surface of the water. When a school of small fish jumps out of the water and tries to avoid another predator, the lionfish will swim below the school of small fish at a very fast speed. Wait for them to fall back into the water, and then attack.

　　 In addition, it is worth mentioning that the lionfish is a straight steel fish.

If two lionfish meet while hunting, the more aggressive male fish will darken its body color and point its poisonous spines at the relatively weak female fish, while the female fish will fold its pectoral fins and swim. Walk to find the next prey.

　　 "It's time to make a decision. Either these lionfish will be released immediately, or the catch will be cleaned up now, or they will die." He Mingde said.

　　 "Let it go." Chen Qingsheng shook his head and suggested.

　　 "Why do you want to put it?" Fang Youqun became anxious, "Isn't it okay to wait for them to dry and then freeze?"

　　 "Why do you freeze it? This is not edible fish." Chen Qingsheng rolled his eyes.

"can not eat?"

"It's not allowed to eat." Xiang Yang laughed: "Lionfish is also called lionfish. The lionfish was included in the "World Conservation Union" Red List of Endangered Species in 2016. Although it is not a protected animal in my country, if we put it on They are brought back alive and sold as ornamental fish, no one will tell us anything, but if they are sold as food fish, it’s not a good idea.”

　　 "Master Zhou, let go of these lionfish." Xiang Yang ordered. Regardless of the fact that these lionfish seemed to gather under the fishing boat in harmony before, Xiang Yang actually knew that these fish were very crowding out of their companions. If they were kept in the same tank, they would definitely fight.

　　 It would be a loss for Xiang Yang if so many lionfish had to keep a separate fish tank for each one. If the fishing boat is returning, it would be okay, but now it is only just out to sea, it is impossible to waste so many fish tanks to raise these lionfish.

　　 "Okay." Although Zhou Wang was regretful, he didn't say anything. He directly controlled the winch and dumped all the lionfish back into the ocean.

　　 Fang Youqun stood on the side of the ship, covering his heart with distress when listening to the sound of the lionfish falling into the water. These are all money, and any one can sell for hundreds of dollars.

　　 The fishing net was recovered, and the fishing boat continued to sail.

　　 Xiang Yang asked Xu Zhuo to continue sailing eastward, and the boat opened slightly to the south. Xiang Yang felt that it was time to go to the deep water area to trawl a net, and he could not always sail in this diving area not far from the shore.

　　 Xu Fang took Xiang Yang's order and immediately sailed the fishing boat to the deep water area.

　　 At this time, the crew members who had gone to sea can finally take a good rest and regain their strength.

　　 The tiger-headed sea eagle that had been staying on the Xiangyang boat suddenly crowed loudly, then jumped up happily, and plunged into the ocean.

　　 Many crew members on the ship were taken aback, and then they ran to the side of the ship.

　　 Xiang Yang was also among them. He also stared at the sea. With the help of the jade shell, Xiang Yang saw the tiger-headed sea eagle jump to the bottom of the sea like a swan with its wings folded in the sky. uukanshu. The speed of com glide on the bottom of the sea is very fast, even comparable to the speed of spreading its wings in the sky.

"Could this stupid bird see a sea snake or plan to provoke a squid again?" Xiang Yang said in his heart. During this time, the stiff-headed sea eagle was fed by the crew and did not lack food at all. It has been without itself for many days. I went to the sea to catch food myself.

　　 It is certainly impossible for ordinary fish to attract steller's sea eagles to go to the sea. Either it is the most favorite food of steller's sea eagles, or it is the most hated creature.

　　 The favorite foods of the tiger-headed sea eagles are chickens, lambs and snakes. Obviously, there are no chickens and lambs in the sea. If the tiger-headed sea eagles go to the sea for food, they must have found sea snakes.

　　 As for the most hated animal of steller's sea eagles?

　　What other steller's sea eagles hate most Xiang Yang doesn't know, but the giant squid that this steller's sea eagle hates most at the moment must be the giant squid, because it was almost dragged under the water by the giant squid to drown.

Soon, Xiang Yang saw the tiger-headed sea eagle dive directly into a thicket of aquatic grass on the seabed, and a pair of powerful eagle claws grabbed a lily that looked particularly like a land, but the flower buds drooped. It's like a weird plant that has fallen apart and withered.

　　 The strange plant was caught by the eagle claws of the tiger-headed sea eagle, and it was uprooted directly from the sand on the seabed.
