Chapter 450: Fushou Snail?
In the next few days, it is estimated that Ye Luo did not expect that this time the lobster crisis would spread so widely.
The lobster farmers and farms in the Hawaiian Islands had already suffered heavy losses when they broke out before, thinking that the epidemic had passed, and they had finally escaped the catastrophe, but they were just relieved, and the epidemic broke out again, and this time the outbreak was even more hurtful, and almost all individual farmers and farms either went bankrupt, or closed down, or went out of business.
If lobster farmers in Hawaii are miserable, farmers in the United States and Canada are not much better.
After all, these two countries are dozens or hundreds of times larger than the small Hawaii in terms of population, land area, marine domain, and farmers.
As a result, many farmers and farms even broke out a lot of news about crowd demonstrations to resist the government's inaction.
This time, many countries in North America have been greatly affected, but for Ye Luo, he is not worried at all, but he has become a melon eater.
Ye Luo, who has been a melon eater for several days, took Daxter, Thomas, Robert, and Wiggins to the sea on this day.
Instead of the Goldfish and the Bluefish, they drove two open boats with small trawls, intending to catch the upper fish to see if there were any problems with fish diseases.
Ye Luo naturally knew that there was no possibility of fish disease in his fishing ground, but he couldn't tell Dast and the others about this matter.
It may be that the fish is about to be caught in the fishing grounds, so that Dast and others have recently focused on the fish in the fishing grounds.
As it turned out, the fishery did not detect any problems with fish diseases.
drove all the way out, but Ye Luo and a few people found that there were many more jellyfish in the sea area of the fishing ground, most of which were pentagonal jellyfish and moon jellyfish.
The two cruisers split up and finally converged.
Dast on the other boat also had this problem, and after meeting, he hurriedly said: "Boss, how about you over there, I found a lot of jellyfish suddenly appearing in the fishing ground." ”
Robert thought for a moment and said, "It should have been brought by the warm current, I saw that there are moon jellyfish, here in the Americas, only the Gulf of Mexico has this kind of tropical thing." ”
The moon jellyfish is a well-known species of jellyfish because it is beautiful and is the star of the aquarium.
These jellyfish are about 1o to 3o centimeters in diameter, transparent and slightly pink, and if the light is suitable, when they rise from the sea, they are like a moon rising from the depths of the ocean, hence the name.
But for any fishery, having too many of these jellyfish is a disaster.
In fact, no matter what jellyfish are, if there are too many of them, they will be harmful to the fishing grounds.
Just like all sea snakes are poisonous, all jellyfish are carnivorous, they feed on plankton, small crustaceans, many, hairy, fish, and especially fish eggs, which is fatal.
Jellyfish are beautiful and docile, but they are actually very ferocious, they have no respiratory organs and circulatory system, only primitive digestive organs, and they are digested and absorbed in the coelenterum immediately after capturing prey.
It can be said that jellyfish is a simple foodie, the kind that has no consciousness and no thought.
Once they encounter their prey, they never let it go.
Another thing they are very similar to sea snakes is that they are almost all poisonous, including this beautiful moon jellyfish.
When Ye Luo watched the news of the lobster epidemic a few days ago, he also saw a piece of news about an Italian woman who was on vacation in the Mediterranean and was poisoned by a monk's hat jellyfish.
The group was discussing
When it came to how to get rid of jellyfish, at this time several large turtles slowly swam over from the water, and when they saw jellyfish, regardless of the species, these turtles gnawed on their mouths.
As the so-called brine point tofu, one thing drops one thing.
The slow turtle was not afraid of these extremely poisonous creatures, and its mouth bit the jellyfish and sucked it into its mouth as if it were eating jelly.
Several people watching this scene looked at each other, and they couldn't react for a while.
After half a ring, Dast excitedly said: "Hey, I forgot, there are leatherback turtles in our fishing grounds, dare to love these guys didn't leave, you must know that these guys are the natural enemies of jellyfish!"
Leatherback turtles like to eat jellyfish the most, in addition, they are very athletic, don't look at their slow swimming, but they have strong endurance, they like to do global travel, the last time Dast caught a leatherback turtle with Indian fish, and then let it go, thinking that this guy has left.
Compared with Daxter's optimism, Ye Luo was a little unimpressed, because he knew that the fishing ground was now in a good environment, and one leatherback turtle population remained, but there were also up to twenty leatherback turtles.
Another star-spotted turtle also stayed, compared to the leatherback turtle, the number of star-spotted turtles is undoubtedly more, but most of them are newly hatched baby turtles, and their combat effectiveness is obviously not as good as that of adult turtles.
Moreover, compared with leatherback turtles, the star-spotted turtle is much smaller, and the threat to jellyfish is far less than that of leatherback turtles!
Even the two populations combined don't know how long it will take to eradicate these jellyfish from the fishing grounds.
Importantly, he didn't know exactly how many jellyfish there were in the fishing grounds right now?
Ten thousand?
Or 20,000?
Or 100,000?
Either way, it's possible!
Jellyfish have a short life cycle, especially shallow jellyfish, which mostly die within a few weeks to a few months.
However, don't forget, jellyfish will divide and reproduce, and Ye Luo is afraid of their children and grandchildren.
There is no good solution to this matter, so it can only be put on hold for the time being.
At the same time, he also plans to see if the turtles can be eliminated first, and if not, he will find a way to solve it.
……
The next day, it was time to supply the ingredients to Catherine and Delise's restaurants.
Ye Luo, who had nothing to do, simply became a delivery man, drove the Alice to deliver many ingredients to the Newfoundland dock, and then handed them over to the people from the two restaurants who had been waiting for a long time, so that they could transport the ingredients needed by their respective restaurants back, and he went to the fish market.
Counting the previous time, this is the second time that Ye Luo has come to the fish market at the fishing pier.
Originally, he just came to see and didn't plan to buy anything.
Unexpectedly, he found that there were snails for sale here, and they were not small, most of them were the size of thumb belly, which made him happy.
When he was in an orphanage, he used to go with a few children from the orphanage to the nearby pond or river to touch snails.
I like to eat spicy snails the most, this thing is fried with chili peppers and soybean oil, not to mention how great the taste is.
There are many conch sellers in the fish market, and snails are obviously not popular.
You must know that the price of a pound of conch is basically not less than 5 yuan, and the price of a pound of snail is only 1 yuan, which is already a cheap food.
The people of Hawaii eat snails because of the influence of the Americans, and for the traditional Americans, caviar (caviar), truffles (ff1es, and snails) can be regarded as the three foods that they cannot live without them.
I don't know how many people will be affected by it every year
I got fascioliasis hepatic fascioliasis for eating snails, but this thing has been banned repeatedly.
But obviously, Hawaiians are not crazy to eat it, at least very few people in Newfoundland.
After Ye Luo went back, he regretfully told Daxter about it.
Who knows, Dast said with a smile: "Boss, if you want to eat snails, it's not easy? Let's touch it ourselves in the afternoon, there are some on the shore of Crescent Lake." ”
"I don't really like that thing. ”
Ye Luo's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, he heard Thomas's rare opinion, and his opinion also represented the opinion of most Newfoundlanders: "That thing is too small, there is not much meat, and it is troublesome to eat, rather than eating that, it is better to eat a conch, at least more meat." ”
Ye Luo thought of his previous successful experience in making Asian carp, so he said confidently: "That's because I didn't make it, if I made it, you would like to eat it." ”
Originally, Ye Luo planned to touch the snails after lunch, but he was sleepy after eating, so he came to the beach, put up a parasol, and planned to lie on the recliner and sleep beautifully.
The sun is blazing and the umbrellas are holding up a shade, but the heat rises from the sand, so if there is no sea breeze, sunbathing on the beach is just as good as taking a sauna.
Fortunately, the sea breeze has been blowing unhurriedly, with hot and humid moisture, and Ye Luo soon fell asleep.
Ye Luo's sleep has always been very light, as long as there is the slightest movement, he will wake up immediately.
After sleeping for more than two hours, Ye Luo woke up, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time and found that it was half past three, and immediately stood up, he hadn't forgotten the snail he was thinking about.
When Ye Luo went back, he passed by the dock, and happened to meet Dast and Thomas, who were cruising at sea, and they also came back with a smile.
This saved him from calling, originally Ye Luo was going to go back to get something and call them by the way, but he didn't expect to meet him, so he directly called them to go to Crescent Lake to touch the snails.
In this way, Ye Luo and Daxter each drove a car and drove towards Crescent Lake.
When he arrived at Crescent Lake, Thomas came down first, took off his shoes, found a rock by the lake and sat down, put his feet into the water, and ran comfortably.
Ye Luo called him over, and then he came to the lake and touched a water snail in the water, and showed him clearly: "Oh, man, our purpose this time is to touch this." ”
Thomas blinked, turned his head and ran to the stone he was sitting on earlier, and Ye Luo still wondered what Thomas was doing.
The next second.
The stone, which weighed at least one hundred and eighty pounds, was suddenly moved by Thomas to the riverbank, and he couldn't help but be amazed when he looked at Dast and Robert.
"Boss, are you talking about that?" Thomas pointed to a few snails attached to the stones, tilted his head and asked Ye Luo.
Freshwater snails generally live on the banks of rivers or lakes, and especially like to attach to stones.
These snails are quite large, the size of the thumb belly are considered small guys, and the largest one must be the size of a peach.
Holding the peach-sized snail, Ye Luo studied it and compared it with the memory in his mind.
Eventually, conclusions are drawn.
There is no doubt that these are not the kind of snails he used to eat when he was in the welfare home, and that thing can't grow this head even if he eats feed.
Looking at the dark brown snail shell, Ye Luo scratched his head and asked with some uncertainty: "If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be called Fushou snail in Huaxia, right?"
