My Deep-sea Fishery

"My deep-sea fishery (

Xiang Yang sounded a little funny, the more dissatisfied he was, the more he was actually old.

However, Xiang Yang didn't mean to underestimate Gao Chuang because he was old. Xiang Yang thought that maybe someday, when he gets old, he will insist that he is not old just like Gao Chuang does.

After properly handling the emperor penguins, Gao Chuang ordered the surroundings: "Okay, from now on, chisel the ice."

"Yes, Mr. Gao."

A group of people moved immediately, some carrying spatulas, harpoons, some pouring hot water, and some simply using a burner to burn them.

There are more than a dozen different ice-cutting methods for more than a dozen ships. This Xiang Yang, who has a learning mentality, is silly. He is cutting ice with the team of Gao Chuang. Is that such a method?

Gao Chuang looked at Xiang Yang strangely, "Xiang Yang, why aren't you and your people still moving? It's time to cut ice."

Xiang Yang suffocated for a while, and then squeezed out, "Mr. Gao, your people really have a variety of ice-cutting methods."

Hearing this, Gao Chuang froze for a while, then laughed, "What do you want? This is just breaking the thick ice on the surface. In the end, cutting ice is one way. These few meters of ice can even be used by icebreakers. You can't drive it, do you really think it can be broken with some hot water or with a flamethrower?"

Gao Chuang patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder, "Come on and do it well, the ice is broken with a wave, but there are surprises waiting for us here."

After Gao Chuang left, Chen Qingsheng looked at Xiang Yang, "Captain, where are we chiseling the ice?"

Xiang Yang looked around and found that there seemed to be no pattern at the location of the ice-cutting, but in fact, the two ice-cutting locations were at least more than 100 meters apart.

Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng and said, "Choose a place. You should be more experienced than me when cutting ice fast."

Chen Qingsheng shook his head, "I have chiseled ice, but it was ice fishing on a lake. I also chiseled ice on the sea for the first time. I don't know how to chisel it."

Xiang Yang became interested, "How do you go about it on the lake?"

Chen Qingsheng said: "On the lake, first look at the color of the ice. The color of the ice surface is aquamarine or light blue, which means that the water is deep, or there are water plants under the water. If the ice has a little yellowish color, then it means water. There are many fish underneath, and then the ice cracks. On the lake surface, due to the constant temperature changes, there will be various ice cracks on the ice surface. The ice cracks have good air permeability and are the places where fish like to live."

"But when I look at the icy color here, there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, and there is no crack." Chen Qingsheng said in distress.

Xiang Yang thought for a while, "Since there is no way to look at it, just find a place and cut the ice directly."

In fact, Xiang Yang still didn't know why Gao Chuang had to go to the ice to cut ice.

Is it not good to fish directly on the edge of the ice floe?

Thick ice accumulation is not so easy to cut through.

Fortunately, after this trip, a special cutting machine came up from the fleet.

After two days, Xiang Yang finally carved out a square ice cave half a meter long and wide on the ice.

Through the ice cave, Xiang Yang took a look at the surface of the water.

Krill.

Lots of krill.

Densely dense, churning constantly under the ice cave, it looks like a huge sandstorm.

"This is Antarctic Krill?"

Xiang Yang asked someone to put a fishing net down, and then he dragged the net up. In the fishing net, there was a dense net of krill. There was no way to pull it up through the ice cave and put the krill away. After that, the crew even used a lot of energy to get the net out of the ice cave.

A small amount of krill remained in the net.

Xiang Yang grabbed one of them and took a closer look, only to see that the shrimp was about two centimeters long, its body was transparent, and its appearance was a bit like a large prawn. The strange thing was that its gills were directly immersed in the water.

What's even stranger is that this krill actually glows.

There are more than 80 kinds of krill in the world, and more than 70 kinds of krill are luminous.

The largest number of Antarctic krill is also luminous, but it cannot produce luminescence speed by itself, and it needs to extract luminescent substances from algae species.

Biologists can’t give a standard answer as to why krill should glow. It is now more commonly believed that it is a social activity of krills at this time, but this is obviously not in line with the survival of the fittest in the theory of biological evolution. , Natural selection.

"See the krill?" Gao Chuang strode forward and asked Chao Xiangyang.

Xiang Yang nodded, "Well, I saw it, I'm about to fish some up."

Gao Chuang grinned, "Catch a little more. Even if the shrimp is dead, you can make feed when you pull it back. Don't worry about taking up space on the boat."

Then Gao Chuang took a look at the ice cave that Xiangyang chiseled, "Well, yes, there are a lot of krill, so hurry up and fish."

Xiang Yang said strangely: "Mr. Gao, have you already known that there will be krill under this ice cave?"

"Nonsense, otherwise I will waste two days digging ice caves here? Thousands of people eat boats, I think I have a lot of money?"

After Gao Chuang's explanation, it turns out that krill has an unknown secret.

That is, Antarctic krill has a vertical migration route. They will dive to very deep water bottom during the day, and only at night will they float to the shallow water area close to the surface of the water.

Under the large ice floes, there are usually a large number of krill survivors.

It's unsatisfactory to chip away the ice and fish for krill.

Of course, just to say that there are usually krill under the ice, not to say that there is no krill where there is no ice.

Antarctic krill is one of the most numerous biological groups in the world. Within 24 hours a day, both large and small groups of Antarctic krill are preying or reproducing, whether on the surface or under the water.

Gao Chuang looked at the krill that Xiang Yang was holding in his hand, and said with a smile: "The krill under this ice cave is very plump. Almost half of them are two centimeters in size. This kind of krill is the most valuable. , Make more money. If you can’t find a market when you go back, you can sell it to me directly.”

It is not easy for Antarctic krill to grow to a height of two centimeters, and it takes at least two years of work.

On average, the life span of each Antarctic krill is only about six years.

Xiang Yang nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Gao, I came here for this Antarctic krill."

As long as the fishing boats come to the Antarctic, they are basically thinking of Antarctic krill.

Antarctic krill is the richest fishery resource in the entire Antarctica. For example, in the Weddell Sea where Xiangyang is now, the krill under the ice floes are just like the sandstorms in the desert. On average, every cubic meter of water will gather More than 10,000 krills, looking under the water through the ice cave, the shrimps resembling a whirlpool, with a radius of almost a few hundred meters, which is very shocking.
