Now it is about six or seven hundred nautical miles away from the southwest of Australia, and there are many fewer fishing boats in Australia, so Yang Yi let the two fishing boats go around the vicinity, and he scattered some spiritual water to see if he could lure the tuna schools out.

Who knew that the first to find it turned out to be a whale, at this time not far from their fishing boat, two big and one small three blue whales were churning on the sea, luring the crew out, and the three girls were also wrapped in thick down jackets and those binoculars watched excitedly.

Earthlings basically know that blue whales are the largest animals in the world, and they are also mammals. Adult blue whales are about 30 meters long and can weigh up to 160 tons, making them truly giants of the sea. Now these blue whales are constantly snorkeling in the sea, from time to time spewing out a stream of water from their nostrils, and making a loud call, and their wide tails like sails are exposed from time to time, splashing huge waves.

The main diet of blue whales is krill, which mainly lives in the Arctic and Antarctic seas, so if you want to see blue whales, you must also be in the high latitudes of the northern and southern hemispheres. Blue whales prefer to live at the confluence of warm and cold waters, with temperatures between 5°C and 20°C at their best, which is why Antarctic waters are their favorite habitat area.

They have four stomachs in their bodies, so they have a huge appetite, they can swallow about 2 million krill at a time, and they have to eat 4000-8000 kg a day, and if they have less than 2000 kg of food in their stomachs, they will feel hungry. Only the abundant krill in the Arctic and Antarctic regions can satisfy their super-large appetite, which is why they can grow so big.

Blue whales have huge size, terrifying weight, super speed and super strength, but they are not without natural enemies, the natural enemies of the biological world are mainly orcas, killer whales, etc., but this is not the main thing, the biggest enemy is still humans.

At first, human whaling was generally to catch sperm whales and right whales, but later because blue whales also have important economic value, they gradually began to catch blue whales, and the first country in whaling was Nordic Norway, but now it is recognized as an island country.

According to expert statistics, by the sixties of the twentieth century, the number of blue whales killed in the world was 350,000, and in more than 100 years, the number of blue whales has plummeted to 1% of a hundred years ago.

Yang Yi still likes this big guy very much, although they do look a little scary, but when it comes to the whale clan, it is the big clan in the water clan, and the turtle clan is no worse than the turtle clan and the shrimp soldier crab family, and the whale clan generally holds positions such as vanguard generals and commanders, which can be said to be the hardcore direct line among the dragon clan supporters.

Seeing these three blue whales, Yang Yi sprinkled some spiritual water into it, and many krill flashed with royal blue light under the sea surface, so these blue whales couldn't help but absorb spiritual water, and they also took the opportunity to fill their stomachs.

A group of people took photos and recorded videos, all of which were more hilarious, only Yang Yi found a group of tuna swimming towards this side, these bulging fish are very fast, they look very similar to swordfish, but the snout is not so long, the crescent-shaped tail, and the dark yellow anal fin are the southern bluefin tuna that Yang Yi has been thinking about.

Seeing this group of tuna coming, Yang Yi sprinkled some spiritual water around again, and at this time, Sun Liancheng's voice in the cockpit sounded: "When you find tuna, all the crew members quickly prepare!"

Yang Yi knew that it should be the fish detection sonar that worked, and after he arrived here, he kept arranging to turn on the sonar, and the underwater probe was also put down, so that Sun Liancheng could find this group of tuna in the first time.

"I'll go, tuna, let's go!"

"Hurry up, I'm going to be told if it's too late!"

"Prepare to catch the hook, I'll go, how to say it's coming!"

“......”

A group of crew members hurriedly ran down, Yang Yi naturally did not follow, but now looked at the busy crowd, hooked, hung bait, and hooked, fortunately, it was prepared in advance, and the main line and branch line of longline fishing were done, otherwise it might not be in time.

You must know that tuna is not inferior to the swordfish swimmer, swimming all his life, stopping means death, it can be seen how powerful this fish is, ordinary people want to catch tuna, but it is not too easy.

This time it was Sun Liancheng who was in full command, and Wu Bo and Qian Bin cooperated, which saved Yang Yi a lot of things, and it was also convenient for him and the three daughters to enjoy the whales.

When the boat started, the whale family probably knew that the spiritual water was released by him, and actually swam slowly with the fishing boat, spewing out a stream of water from time to time, and the two adult whales were longer than the Pearl, and they looked like submarines in the water.

There is a hook behind the fishing boat, and the bait used on the hook is soaked in spiritual water by Yang Yi, so there is a temptation to resist the tuna, and when the Zhushan arrives a few kilometers away to end the hook, Yang Yi finds that there are a lot of tuna hanging on the hook of the branch line.

The best bluefin tuna is naturally caught in the North Pacific, that is, in the waters near the island nation, then the Atlantic bluefin, and then the southern bluefin. In fact, bluefin tuna is a global fish, there is not much difference between tuna in these places, it may be the Pacific Ocean today, and the Atlantic Ocean in a month, but the island country is the largest consumer of tuna, and people naturally listen to others.

This time, Yang Yi didn't plan to hide clumsy, the situation was more complicated, so he also had the idea of retreating quickly with a shot, and kept using spiritual water to attract nearby fish to come over. Two hours later, the first batch of bluefin tuna came on the boat, and everyone was excited and worried about the fishing line, and the excitement was that there were fish hanging on basically every line, and the worry was that this thing was not only tuna, but also other seals, what kind of routine was this.

Of course, Yang Yi knows what is going on, this sea area is now full of aura, and the seals are not weaker than penguins in the waters near Antarctica, so it is not too strange to be attracted to them, but the seals caught here are mainly not leaving, not only the crew is worried, but Yang Yi has a little headache.

When it comes to seals, most people's first impression is that they are smart, cute, and cute. But some seals may not be harmless to humans and animals, on the contrary, they may be more cruel and ferocious than polar bears.

In particular, this kind of leopard seals that take the initiative to "take the bait", under the cute appearance is hidden a ferocious and violent heart, they usually feed on penguins, and their favorite food is the "battle goose" in penguins - emperor penguins, as the top predator near Antarctica, they also have a name called "Antarctic bear"!

Leopard seals are second only to elephant seals in Antarctica, with a body length of about 3-4 meters, and females are slightly larger than males. They eat seabirds, penguins, fish, cephalopods, krill, other seals, in a word, basically everything in Antarctica can get into their stomachs.

No, these leopard seals that came up, after being hooked, don't care about the stinging pain in their mouths, they are holding the bluefin tuna caught and gnawing wildly, although they are fierce like polar bears, but there are not many times to eat bluefin tuna, mainly because the tuna is too big, and the speed is fast, and it is not easy to catch them.

Originally, seeing this kind of seal coming up, the three girls who didn't know were going to go up to tease it, Sun Liancheng was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped, these proprietresses didn't know, but he knew what this thing was, and it was not much worse than the sharks in the ocean, and there was a precedent of attacking humans and causing death, and many scientists in the Antarctic scientific expedition encountered them all detours.

The three girls looked at Sun Liancheng suspiciously, not knowing why he was stopping, Sun Liancheng was not articulate, and he didn't know how to explain, and finally Yang Yi told them about the habits of leopards and seals, and the girls knew that this seemingly cute big guy turned out to be the existence of a marine killer.

There were two leopards and seals this time, each guarding a tuna, and they didn't interfere with the work of the other crew members, but they didn't leave, they just gnawed on the boat, and made a large piece of blood on the deck. The two guys finished eating and left, and everyone thought they should leave when they were full, but who knew that they actually wiped the blood from their mouths and ran to the corner of the deck to lie down in the sun.

Turning his belly on his side, covered in leopard prints, his mouth closed and he couldn't see those fangs, and he had a few playful mustaches, without the posture of a fierce beast, he looked like a harmless cute pet from humans and animals, and from time to time he still rubbed a few itches on the side of the ship, is this the rhythm of making this place home?

The crew members were also confused, they heard about how fierce and cruel leopards and seals are, and it was the first time they saw this kind of food and drink like outsiders.
