My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 670: Water column

It was a group of right whales. They swim very slowly and are closer to the coast than other whales. Their fat bodies are filled with whale blubber, whale bones and balsamic oil. They are the favorite prey of many whaling ships. They were hunted in large numbers by whalers, and nowadays their existing numbers are not much.

At present, there are no more than 2,000 right whales in the world. Many countries in the world, including my country, treat right whales as protected animals and strictly prohibit their killing.

If you are not very familiar with the ocean, it is easy to confuse right whales with humpback whales because they look very similar.

The body of the group of right whales that Xiang Yang saw was spindle-shaped. The body surface was extremely smooth. The largest body in the group was nearly 20 meters long and weighed at least 100 tons. Most of the skin on the body was covered. It is jet black, with gray spots on the skin of the head, which looks very rough.

Xu Fang held his binoculars, "It seems to be a group of right whales. Tsk, the number of these whales is not many. We did not expect to encounter them. Unfortunately, this kind of whales are not allowed to be caught now, otherwise our trip will be true. Made a fortune."

"It's actually a right whale?" Chen Qingsheng was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No way, as the marine environment continues to deteriorate, the natural death rate of right whales is getting higher and higher. After so many years, Countries around the world and major animal protection organizations are working hard to protect them, but in recent years, the number of these whales is still declining."

"Yes, although right whales cannot be caught in recent years, the marine environment has been destroyed as a whole, food shortages, and the increasing number of natural enemies make it difficult for right whales to reproduce." Xiang Yang nodded.

In the past, right whales had no natural enemies.

Like humpback whales, although right whales are docile and will not take the initiative to attack other marine life, but its size is there after all. As long as it is not a fish with a bad head, right whales are generally not seen. Go ahead and find excitement.

Because of the lack of natural enemies for many years, the immune system of right whales is greatly degraded. Sometimes, only a small wound is needed to make right whales lose their lives.

The origin of the name of right whales is precisely because they will often appear on the shore where you can see the land, and most of the time, right whales will float their backs above the water.

As a result, many seagulls regard right whales as isolated islands and like to land on the back of right whales.

This is nothing at all, after all, from ancient times to the present, no one knows how many seagulls have fallen on the back of right whales.

In the past, right whales got along well with seagulls, but I don't know when a silly bird pecked right whales on the back.

Seagulls have the habit of imitating the same kind. After the behavior of the seagull pecking the back of the right whale was seen by its kind, they all imitated.

Right whales have a smooth body surface and are very easy to be pecked, and because of their huge size, being pecked a little bit without even feeling, they will not drive seagulls at all.

The consequence of this is that when a right whale emerges to extinction, dozens or hundreds of seagulls fall on its back and peck together.

When the pecking area is too large, right whales cannot rely on their own immune system to recover.

Soon, the fleet approached the right whales.

Now, everyone in the entire fleet can see clearly that the right whales are very large, with their heads more than a quarter of their body length, which makes them look very similar to humpback whales.

"One, two, three, there are three right whales in total, I don't know if there are still under the water." Fang Youqun counted and said.

"It shouldn't be. Right whales are different from other whales. They don't like to stay on the bottom of the sea. They often play in the sea around the bay or islands." Xiang Yang said.

The three right whales are not afraid of people at all.

Seeing the fleet surrounding them, they actually slowly shuttled in the middle of the fleet, occasionally patting the hull with its small fins that were not proportional to its size, causing the crew of each hull to constantly shout at them.

Xiang Yang watched a right whale swim very slowly to the left of his fishing boat, smiled and said to the crew: "The right whale is a stupid big man in the ocean. This kind of character, so it has been hunted and killed by humans, because it is really too easy to kill right whales compared to killing other whales."

Chen Qingsheng nodded, "Yes, that's right, if it weren't for protecting animals and giving me a fishing fork, I'm at least 90% sure to keep it."

Xiang Yang smiled and said nothing. In the past, whalers did use fishing forks to kill right whales, but it was definitely not as simple as Chen Qingsheng said~www.readwn.com~After all, rabbits bite when they are anxious. , Not to mention the right whales the size of a house.

Under the boat, the right whale seemed to understand Chen Qingsheng's words. It made a big dive, lifted its tail fin out of the water, and set off a huge wave of water onto the boat.

Suddenly, all the people standing on the side of the ship were all turned into chickens.

Fortunately, the jacket purchased by Xiang Yang was waterproof, and could be used as a raincoat. Otherwise, everyone would have to be shivering from the cold.

This is the case, the actions of this right whale also angered everyone on board.

"Damn, dare to pour my water, believe it or not, I will kill you in a while." Fang Youqun ran to the side of the ship angrily and shouted at the right whale.

Xiang Yang glanced at the old crew members who had been to the Antarctic, including Chen Qingsheng and Xu Fang. They suddenly became playful, and there was an imperceptible smile flashing in their eyes. Retreat in the direction of the cabin.

After every big dive, a right whale will spray a mist of water several meters high through the whale hole. When the water column spreads in the air, it will be enough to wet the deck of the entire ship.

Sure enough, Xiang Yang, a few old crew members, and a few students from Maritime University who had already thought about it had just hid in the cabin, and they saw the right whale's tail slamming on the water. Its huge head rises from the sea, and a huge column of water up to six meters is ejected from the whale hole.

The water column spread out in mid-air and moved towards the surrounding range of tens of meters, but everyone or objects within this range enjoyed the treatment of being sprayed by the sprinkler.

"Depend on."

Fang Youqun and the others went crazy, even if they were wearing jackets and were sprayed like this, the duck down thermal clothes there would also be wet.
