My Deep-sea Fishery

"My deep-sea fishery (

There are many types of barnacles and their prices vary.

The common barnacle has a hard shell, which looks like a shell in appearance, but it is actually an arthropod.

The most expensive barnacle is the gooseneck barnacle, which is a more common variety on the seashore. The main reason for its high price is that it is very difficult to collect.

Barnacles attached to whale sharks are usually cylindrical barnacles.

Cylindrical barnacles are also common on reefs by the sea.

But the cylindrical barnacles on the seaside reef are not as plump as whale sharks.

The posture of the cylindrical barnacle is very peculiar, usually his head is underneath, and the bottom of the body faces the outside, which can stretch his head into the sea.

Xiang Yang swam to the whale shark with a few crew members.

The whale shark may have been injured because of its injury. It was a bit irritable. After seeing Xiang Yang approaching the crew, it did not stand still on the water like a humpback whale, but sank its whole body into the ocean. go with.

Xiang Yangxian's crew swam over and played with the whale shark for a while. The whale shark gradually relaxed its vigilance against Xiang Yang and others, and re-floated to the surface of the water. The fins and tail swayed gently, moving the whole body. Suspended on the sea.

Xiang Yangchao's crew winked, and a group of people quickly crawled towards the whale shark.

Whale sharks are larger than humpback whales and have more barnacles on their bodies.

In fact, both whales and humans hate barnacles.

Although most barnacles are very expensive, many fishermen still hate this creature.

Barnacles are also a kind of "fouling creatures" for humans.

Many fishermen have a large number of barnacles attached to the bottom of their boats, which greatly increases the resistance of navigation, reduces the speed of fishing boats, and makes fishing boats consume more fuel.

In fact, for fishing boats, barnacles are only a trivial matter, except for consuming a little more fuel, nothing else is harmless.

Barnacles are really a great trouble and burden for factories that extract seawater for cooling, or for subsea oil drilling factories.

In the East my country Sea alone, the cost of eliminating barnacles is as high as hundreds of millions of yuan each year.

However, in the South my country Sea, barnacles have made up for this consumption.

Southerners like to drink soup, and barnacles are an excellent ingredient for making soup.

The method of barnacle soup is very simple, just add some ginger, add some salt, then boil the water and put it in the barnacle. The taste is really delicious, and the meat of the barnacle is also tender and delicious.

It is worth mentioning that Darwin, the author of "Theory of Evolution", likes to eat barnacles very much, and he is also an out-and-out barnacle control. Before writing "The Origin of Species", Darwin has been focusing on the research of barnacles, even he Also published a book on barnacles.

I hate it, plus it’s delicious, plus the price is expensive, so the crew is very enthusiastic about collecting barnacles.

After climbing on the whale shark, without Xiang Yang opening his mouth, he took the initiative to start collecting.

That whale shark probably also knew what Xiang Yang and the others were doing, and probably it was tossed enough by the barnacles, so when Xiang Yang and the others collected the barnacles, it was exceptionally quiet.

To Xiang Yang's surprise, there were many barnacles on the whale shark's abdomen, large and large pieces connected together, looking hideous and terrifying.

But the number of barnacles on its back is very small, only a small piece of it.

This is related to the habits of whale sharks.

The back skin of the whale shark is smooth, and the barnacle has no hiding place.

And whale sharks like to float on the sea to bask in the sun very much. Many barnacles can't stand the sun's scorching, so they just die.

"Move lightly." Xiang Yangchao shouted from the crew members who were cleaning the barnacles.

Although the whale shark is huge, it is an oviparous animal after all, and its IQ is not as good as that of a humpback whale. Xiang Yang is also afraid that the crew's movements may hurt the whale shark.

A whale shark that is close to 20 meters long, if it comes crazy, it is not a joke. When it is shot by it, several bones are lightly broken.

The crew nodded.

"Don't worry, Captain, we know the severity." Chen Qingsheng grinned.

The barnacles on these behemoths of the ocean are the most plump barnacles. Chen Qingsheng only collected half of the net bag in a while. No wonder he grinned.

Xiang Yang nodded. The crew members who were taken off the ship this time were all relatively stable crew members on the ship. Even Fang Youqun did not bring them down. Everyone had a sense of measure. Xiang Yang only had to remind him, and he didn't need to keep talking.

Soon, a bunch of barnacles were sent back to the ship by the crew. The crew checked the meat quality of the barnacles and cheered up. This whale shark should be older than the two humpback whales. The barnacles on its body , More plump than the barnacles collected from two humpback whales at the beginning.

Xiang Yang swam to the bottom of the sea and took a few glances and shook his head. The barnacles on the whale shark are indeed more plump than the barnacles on the humpback whale, but the number is much smaller, basically only the plate on the abdomen. It looks like a hundred kilograms in total, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, which is definitely relatively clean among the ocean giants.

"These barnacles should be able to sell for more than a thousand yuan per catty?" Wu Shiwen looked at Xiang Yang with envy.

Xiang Yang nodded, "This is a very rare top food. Although it is not as exaggerated as the gooseneck barnacle, it is much more expensive than the barnacle under the boat."

Gooseneck barnacles are known as delicacies from hell. A slightly better quality can sell for thousands of yuan per catty.

"We will get half a catty out in a while and boil a pot of soup?" Wu Shiwen tentatively asked.

"Half catty is enough, I'll take ten catties out in a while and cook a big pot." Xiang Yang smiled.

This was a pleasant surprise, Xiang Yang was not stingy, took it out, boiled a pot, and let everyone try the taste.

Of course, the two boats add up to more than 100 people, and ten catties of barnacles can really only taste the taste.

"Captain, I think we have to go to Pioneer Beach after we have collected the barnacles. The various marine cargo on board is difficult to classify, and they are not easy to feed." Chen Qingsheng said at this time.

Xiang Yang nodded, he knew that Chen Qingsheng was telling the truth.

At this time, there are indeed a lot of rare aquatic products on board, and if a batch of them died, the loss would be really great.

Moreover, it will be a long time to stay on the ship, and it is time to take the crew to the land for some repairs.

Among other things, the food supply on board Xiang Yang is actually excellent. After all, what Xiang Yang eats, the crew also follow what he eats, and Xiang Yang himself is a foodie.

The main items are vegetables, which were not there at the beginning, and they have been in limited supply these days. After landing this time, a freezer compartment must be set aside to replenish a lot of vegetables and fruits.

In fact, these should be prepared before departure.
