My Deep-sea Fishery
Chapter 707: Freshwater seal
A group of people rushed forward under the leadership of Xiang Yang.
"Stop." Gao Chuang suddenly waved his hand and shouted when he was halfway there.
"Um?"
Everyone looked at Gao Chuang.
"What's wrong, Mr. Gao?" Xiang Yang also asked questioningly.
"Look at that ice surface." Gao Chuang said after pointing his finger in one direction.
Xiang Yang quickly looked in that direction.
I saw a very hidden depression in the white snow.
"Go, let's go over and take a look." Gao Chuang walked towards the snow depression.
When they got closer, Xiang Yang and others discovered that under the depression in the snow, there was an oval ice cave. Under the ice cave, a seal was squinting and breathing air greedily.
"There really is a freshwater lake." Gao Chuang said in surprise after seeing the seal.
Xiang Yang was a little stunned, "This seal's eyes seem to be broken."
"Oh? Really?" Gao Chuang quickly looked under the ice cave.
Sure enough, the seal’s left eye was very bright, but the right eye was half-squinted. There was a pale yellow semi-liquid substance everywhere in the eye. Those substances had smeared its entire right eye, and it looked like It seems to be blind.
Seeing so many people appearing at the entrance of the cave, the seal plunged into the water in a panic, and did not show up again for a long time.
"That seal should have stayed under this ice cave for a long time." Xiang Yang analyzed.
Seals are amazing creatures. They can survive on land, under the sea, and even in fresh water.
However, after staying in fresh water for a long time, seals are prone to eye diseases. Although they are not going to be blind, they are still serious.
Seals are the most widely distributed species of pinnipeds. From the Antarctic to the Arctic, from sea water to freshwater lakes, there are seal footprints.
As early as a few years ago, some netizens reported that they saw two seals when they were visiting Baotu Spring in Jinan, and one of the seals might also have an eye disease.
This news caused many netizens to join the discussion at the time.
Some netizens said that this is nothing new. Seals were raised in Baotu Spring many years ago.
It is said that the reason for raising seals in Baotu Spring is because Baotu Spring is dry. If Baotu Spring is dry, tourists will not come here to play.
So the garden party asked a master for advice. The master said that if you want Baotu Spring to spray continuously, you need to get a few seals to raise.
Seals, seals, with seals, the homophonic Baotu Spring will have "bao".
But then the staff of Baotu Spring dismissed the rumors. Baotu Spring has been keeping seals for many years. The online rumors that Baotu Spring introduced seals because of Feng Shui are false.
And some locals proved that the two seals existed as early as when they were young.
However, netizens do not agree with this reply. Many people think that Baotu Spring does not have to raise seals in order to retain tourists, but other fish or animals can be raised because seals adapt to seawater, and Baotu Spring is fresh water.
The eye diseases of Baotu Spring seals are caused by fresh water.
As a marine animal, seals are bred in fresh water and can easily cause eye inflammation.
The rumors are not credible, but there are two points to be sure, that is, Baotu Spring is indeed a seal, and Baotu Spring is indeed fresh water.
Therefore, saltwater seals can definitely live in fresh water.
Moreover, as far as Xiang Yang knows, there is another kind of freshwater seal in the world.
There are many species of seals, most of which live in sea water. The only freshwater seal is the Baikal seal.
For Baikal seals, the scientific community generally believes that Baikal seals should come from the Arctic Ocean, because they are the closest to the seals there.
The obese and round Baikal seals are quite agile in the water, swimming at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
After investigation, biologists discovered that Baikal seals have fin-shaped limbs and their hind limbs are connected to the tail. They are always backward and cannot walk. Therefore, they are very clumsy on land.
Therefore, some scientists believe that the ancestors of Baikal seals came to Lake Baikal from the Angara River.
But this kind of statement has not been universally recognized.
The exact time when the seals came to Lake Baikal is still an unsolved mystery.
Scientists can only speculate that the arrival of seals on Lake Baikal most likely occurred during the ice age.
At that time, the Yenisei and Angara river basins were covered with snow and ice for a long time, the river bed became deeper, and the seals living in the Arctic Ocean area expanded to the south. They came to Lake Baikal after a long journey of thousands of kilometers.
When the ice age ended, the river flow was greatly reduced and the river bed became shallow. These "distant guests" had to stay here and gradually evolved into the unique freshwater seal in the world.
The Baikal seal is the only seal in the world that can live freely in fresh water.
However, it is difficult to explain how they came to settle in this lake.
Baikal seals are closely related to Arctic seals.
However, according to data, the southern part of the Siberian Plateau, where Lake Baikal is located, has never been submerged by sea water for more than 500 million years.
It is impossible for the ancestors of Baikal seals to go from the remote Arctic Ocean to a completely different environment and continue to this day.
Gao Chuang lit a cigarette for himself, and after taking a puff, he exhaled a puff of smoke mixed with hot air with great enjoyment.
"We are here to wait. After a while waiting for the seal to come up, we put the sonar detector down the ice cave to see if there is any catch in the ice lake."
Xiang Yang nodded in agreement.
The speed at which the seal swims under the water can be said to be as fast as a flash point. As long as the seal is in the water, there is basically no need to catch it. It can only wait for it to climb up from the ice cave when it needs to ventilate.
Of course, Gao Chuang and the others can just ignore the seal~www.readwn.com~ and drop the sonar detector through the ice cave.
But that will undoubtedly lead to the hypoxic death of the seal under the ice cave.
Seals on the ice floes can slowly bite through the ice cave with their sharp teeth, but it is extremely difficult for the seals under the ice cave to bite through the ice cave.
After all, Gao Chuang's age is there, and his physical fitness is incomparable with young people. It is easy to be frozen out in this icy world.
Xiang Yang couldn't help but said: "Gao, or we will stay here, you take the two brothers back to call people, let's try to see if we can receive a wave under this ice cave."
A group of people looked at Gao Chuang subconsciously. In fact, what Xiang Yanggang said was exactly what they wanted to say.
From Gao Chuang's slightly trembling hand holding the cigarette, it can be seen that Gao Chuang is actually approaching the limit he can hold on.
"I won't go back." Gao Chuang waved his hand, "First, detect whether there are fishery resources worth fishing under this ice lake, and then we will make the next plan."
