Chapter 87: Immersive
Along the lighted, slightly dark, slightly humid passage all the way to the fourth basement level, the first thing that catches your eye is Shark Bay.
Sharks swim in large glass tanks, either open or completely sealed.
Looking at these sharks, Zhang Yang also felt something, which also benefited from the information he had read before.
"Everyone thinks sharks are fierce, but who knows that in recent years, due to environmental degradation and overfishing, the number of sharks has decreased dramatically.
The purpose of this place is to show sharks to tourists, but also to study and conserve them, solve the problem of artificial breeding, and finally release the bred sharks into the sea and give back to the ocean. ”
Walking through the corridors of Shark Bay, some people began to understand when they heard Zhang Yang's words.
"Why? Wouldn't it be better if there were fewer of these man-eating sharks?"
"Please, brother dei upstairs, haven't you heard of the biological chain? Sharks are also a link in the marine biological chain, how can it be better to have fewer of them. ”
"I still think it's better to have fewer sharks so that people can go to the ocean less dangerously. ”
"It's just that the sharks here are so small?"
Zhang Yang was also disappointed with this, but he didn't expect that this was just a small shark, and it seemed that he would have to wait until he went to the undersea tunnel to see other sharks.
"This is a wrinkle-lipped shark, also known as a Jiudao shark, which was originally a small shark, which used to be more common in the offshore waters of Daoqing, but now it is rare to see.
Regarding the number of sharks, in fact, it has been said that this is the problem of the biological chain, and the biological chain of the animal kingdom is linked one by one, that is, the big fish we often say are small fish.
With the drastic decline in the number of sharks, those fish that are weak and sick, and whose genetic mutations cause malformations, will not be eliminated in time, and the survival of the fittest in the process of evolution will not be better continued.
And sharks are veritable 'scavengers' in the ocean, which can clean up the marine ecology by cleaning up the rotting carcasses of large marine animals.
Therefore, the number of sharks must be maintained, otherwise not only will the marine environment become bad, but even the fish will all evolve from a group of deformed fish.
Although most people understand this, there are still a few people who still stick to their own opinions.
"It's true that sharks hurt people, right?"
"That's it, I've always seen sharks eating people, Brother Yang, haven't you seen it before. ”
mentioned the incident of sharks hurting people, Zhang Yang felt that it was necessary to correct most people's thoughts.
"Diver Gary Ikenson once said in "Shark's Kiss: Escaping from the Jaw": More than 90 percent of accidents caused by sharks are accidental injuries, and they think we are something else.
While a shark attack may seem ferocious, keep in mind that sharks are not evil creatures that are constantly looking for humans to target.
The shark's diet is actually made up of a variety of sea creatures, but humans are not among them, mainly because the energy contained in human meat cannot provide its powerful consumption.
Many times the shark hurts people, just because of the counterattack on the invasion of its territory, it is often to bite people and drag them into the deep sea, but after a while they will let go, but who makes us humans have poor physical fitness, this time is enough to kill.
After the shark tastes a bite of human flesh, it will feel that it does not fit its recipe, but who makes him attack powerful, those who are attacked by sharks can be said to be unlucky, but everyone should not run over and take the initiative to find other sharks because of what I said, let's keep our lives and enjoy life. ”
After saying that, he felt as if he hadn't said it properly, and added a little more.
"Actually, it's like lightning hurting people, you say you have to run to a place where the rain is heavy and the lightning is dense, you say that people don't cut people with lightning, you say that you don't go to a shark-infested place, why do people want to hurt you?
If you look at the news, which one of them didn't run to a place where they were not allowed to go and was injured by a shark, coupled with the hype of the unscrupulous media, this is the same as the old man incident I said before. ”
In the Jiaozhou Bay Biology Exhibition, after taking a look at the flower perch, the slanted ribbon snapper, the big-headed fish, and the Xu's flat carp of different shapes and colors, Zhang Yang came to another creature.
"Is this a pufferfish?"
"It is said that it is extremely poisonous, and when you see blood in your throat, you will die when you hear it!"
"The girl upstairs is a bit exaggerated. ”
"Fugu is a delicacy!"
"It's like you've eaten it, I don't dare eat it. ”
Looking at the balloon-like fish in the tank, Zhang Yang couldn't help but secrete a little saliva, feeling a little greedy, the current cooking skills can't make pufferfish, otherwise you must buy a farmed one to taste.
"The Oriental pufferfish, which we often call pufferfish, is highly poisonous, but its meat is delicious and tender.
People often say, 'If you eat pufferfish, you won't have any flavors', but there is also a saying 'eat puffer fish desperately', which shows that this guy is almost somewhere between delicious and deadly.
The processing of this fish is very strict, a qualified puffer fish chef must undergo at least two years of rigorous training, and only after passing the examination can he obtain a license to open for business, and each puffer fish needs to be processed and detoxified through 30 steps, and it takes a skilled chef 20 minutes to complete. ”
Speaking of delicious food, some foodies in the live broadcast room couldn't help it.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, how did you deal with this puffer fish?"
"That's it, what's poisonous about this thing, and what's not?"
"I didn't dare to eat it, so I was afraid to eat puffer fish desperately. ”
Speaking of how to eat, Zhang Yang couldn't help licking his lips, but at the same time, he was a little trembling.
"The toxicity of this thing is 1250 times that of the highly toxic sodium cyanide, 1 gram of tetrodotoxin can kill 500 people, the toxin is mainly concentrated in the ovaries, liver, blood, followed by the eyes, gills and skin, individual varieties of muscles also contain toxins, the chemical properties of the toxin are relatively stable, after general frying, boiling, salting and sun exposure, etc., can not be quickly destroyed, so the mortality rate of human and animal poisoning is extremely high.
If you really want to eat, you can go to those puffer fish restaurants with regular business licenses, but don't try it yourself. ”
In the end, Zhang Yang reluctantly glanced at the puffer fish in the water tank, and then turned around and left here, and had already made up his mind in his heart that he must eat it once in the future.
Continuing forward, Zhang Yang came to a very chic cabin passage.
The entire passage is about 30 meters long, and when you pass by, you can see that it is strangely decorated, with glass floors, coral sand, and lighting to create the effect of a ship sinking to the bottom of the sea.
The light in the entire passage is as bright as darkness, and the walls are all modeled like the deck of a pirate ship, fragmented inlaid in the walls, and the bubbling water can be seen in the gaps in the broken deck, making people feel like they are walking through a wreck.
"That's the passage that imitates the pirate shipwreck just now, let's go to the undersea passage next. ”
When you come to the undersea passage, you have the feeling of being in the ocean, and the complete semi-circular enclosed space above the tunnel makes people feel like they are walking under it.
"There are two ways to walk here, one is to walk on your own and the other is to step on the ladder, and I recommend that you go to the 11th route. ”
If you look up at the underwater passage, you can see a variety of fish through the highly transparent acrylic glass, and you can see a variety of fish flying to the bottom or swimming overhead, just like birds flying freely in the air.
At this time, Zhang Yang also happened to see a diver carrying a small bag, which seemed to contain fish food, and was feeding at this time.
Due to the refraction of optics, the diver looks like a small child in the water.
Nurse sharks, leopard sharks, RB barbel sharks, blacktip sharks, whitetip sharks and other more docile sharks also accompany divers to dance in the water at this time.
Walking through the passage, you can also see a few starfish lying on the glass top wall from time to time, and sharks or other fish pass by from above, which makes people feel so comfortable, sigh at the magic of the creatures in the water, and at the same time shout that the trip is worthwhile.
Time flew by, the pointer slowly slid to the position of six o'clock, and Zhang Yang also walked out of the undersea passage and came to the Ocean Theater.
"Okay, I won't watch the rest, it's basically a place for some performances and gifts for everyone to buy, and you can visit it yourself if you want to come by yourself. ”
Walking out of the underwater world, Zhang Yang stepped directly on the balance bike and went back to the direction of the RV, and at the same time did not forget to remind him.
"By the way, there is also a freshwater museum, but because of the time, I will go to the pier later, and the night view over there is very beautiful, so we won't go to the freshwater museum. ”
