"Hehe, everyone look at it, if I'm not mistaken, this is mudskipper, and there are a lot of hermit crabs here, I think I can catch a few of them back, and it's good to break them as condiments." ”

Because crabs and many other crustaceans naturally have monosodium glutamate and salt, which play the role of monosodium glutamate and salt, Chen Fan came up with the idea of hermit crabs.

Sure enough, in the next second, one who seemed to be covered in mud, with bubbles in his mouth and seawater, bounced up.

The harpoon in Chen Fan's hand was not in a hurry, one forward poke, then stab, and when he withdrew it, the mudflat with the size of his thumb was already in his hand.

"Hehe, it's not good at the moment, let's go wash it later, and then see what he looks like, here, I'm going to introduce you to the main animals in the mangrove forest."

They are generally marine shellfish, and the common ones are sifted shellfish, clams, ctenophores, scallops, coarse clams, horseshoe snails, phoenix snails, drupe snails and several hermit crabs. And then there's the mudskipper.

There are many kinds of plankton in mangrove waters, and common diatoms are planktonic algae such as rhizophorae, ceratotrina, hemestina, radiata, triangular algae, and circular sieve algae.

The zooplankton include Daphnia sinzhe, Daphnia bo, Daphnia zhenzhe, Daphnia lizhe, Daphnia longzhe, Daphnia zhenzhe, Daphnia chinensis, Daphnia practicaria, Daphnia flat-headed and so on.

The decomposition of litter such as leaves in mangrove forests is conducive to the growth of various plankton, and consequently the migration and infestation of shallow sea fish in the mangrove zone.

Most of the seabirds are waterfowl and seagulls, and some terrestrial birds are found in the mangrove zone.

In well-developed mangrove forests, especially in areas with large land depths, small mammals such as wild boars, raccoon dogs, and rodents are occasionally spotted.

Some bees, flies, and ants that we encountered in the forests of Northeast China also like to inhabit mangroves.

They mainly play a role in the pollination and fertilization of mangrove plants.

Of course, for human beings, the most important thing is to prevent waves and slopes, purify water pollution, etc., so we also call him a coastal guard, which has always been a problem that we must pay attention to in our coastal resources.

For example, in the South Pacific tsunami on 26 June, the role of mangroves was once again re-eye-catching;

When the tsunami hit 12 neighboring countries and regions, killing 230,000 people, 172 families in the fishing village of Senalthorpe in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, just a few dozen meters from the coast, were lucky to escape the tsunami.

The reason for this is that a dense mangrove forest grows on the coast here, which protects their village. ”

"Damn, Master Fan, you said so much, but, I want to ask, mangrove forest, is it a forest where mangroves grow together?"

"I also want to know what kind of tree is the mangrove forest. ”

"+1 for the same question!"

"+1 for the same question!"

……

"+1 for the same question!"

Faced with a sudden circle of doubts, Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and found that it was he who aroused everyone's interest before, but he did not explain the problem clearly.

So he waved his hand and continued to explain to the drone: "Friends, I'm sorry, it's like this, I didn't finish talking about it before, let's talk about it carefully, mangroves generally refer to the unique evergreen shrubs and small tree communities in tropical and subtropical bays and estuarine mudflats, and there may be as many as several or even dozens of specific tree species."

It usually grows in the tidal flats and shoals at the junction of land and sea, and is a special ecosystem that transitions from land to sea.

Mangrove is characterized by a well-developed root system, which can grow in seawater, it has respiratory roots or pillar roots, and the seeds can sprout into small seedlings in the fruits of the tree, and then break away from the mother plant and fall into the silt to develop and grow, which is a rare woody viviparous plant.

According to statistics, there are about 62 species of mangrove trees in the world, and in China, mangroves are mainly distributed in the coasts and bays of the silt sedimentary zone in the island provinces, Liangguang and Fujian and Zhejiang.

Mangrove forests grow in areas where fresh water and salt water are mixed, as we do here, where streams wash down on desert islands, and then the bays here intercept silt and settle it, gradually becoming a mangrove community.

I took a look around, and the mangrove forest here is estimated to be about eight meters from the ground to the highest point, while the mangrove forest in the tropics can reach up to three or four meters at the highest, and the more you go to the equator, the more diverse the tree species are.

Mangroves, firewoods, vines, and plants attached to trees are generally called mangroves.

In 1986, there was a huge storm surge along the coast of Xiguang Province that had not been encountered in nearly a century, and the 398-kilometer-long seawall in Hepu County was washed by waves across 294 kilometers. ”

"Uh, I see!"

"No wonder Fan Ye only said mangroves, not specific tree species, so are you like this now, are you a vine or a tree?"

"Of course it's a tree, stupid, I haven't even known this after watching Fan Ye's live broadcast for so long? Teng Ben is the kind of person who climbs on a tree. ”

"Damn, Master Fan, catch the crab, I see a small crab on the root of the tree next to you!"

"Yo, it's amazing, crabs can even go up trees. ”

"Where is this on the tree, I think it's the low tide that didn't come down in a hurry, and I was trapped in the tree!"

“……”

Chen Fan faced the scene displayed in the live broadcast room, a hermit crab was coiled on the roots of a mangrove tree, so he stepped forward and grabbed it directly.

"Well, they should use the low tide period to rest and bask in the sun, hermit crabs sometimes have some seaweed on their bodies, and they feel uncomfortable, by drying it, they can kill a lot of seaweed spores and decompress themselves!"

While speaking, of course, he did not forget to take it off.

"It's a pity, you're still too young, let your life go, go and call your family. ”

Chen Fan threw the little guy on the mudflat and continued to walk forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the tidal flats here are the same as the swamps, and when you walk, you must be very careful, we are in the mangrove forest, we must always hold on to these roots, or branches, otherwise we will not be able to pull them out. ”

"Fanye, I feel like you're driving, but I don't have proof. ”

"Look at the group base with rotten eyes, and the upstairs is your own dirty felling!"

"That's it, Fan Ye is generally quite serious. ”

At this time, Chen Fan had already come to the next place where mudskippers appeared.

"Oh, no, there seems to be a big fish hidden under the mud here. ”

Chen Fan pointed to the zigzag traces of the soil, and then looked at a place with some small grooves and a little water.

"It feels like a silver carp, because there is both sea water and stream water, so it's not good, it's really possible that freshwater silver carp left behind. ”

"Usually in this environment, in addition to marine fish, there are also freshwater fish, and more of the kind I found in the stream before, reflux fish. ”

Burst...... Laugh at......

With a flick of the tail, Chen Fan only saw a fish jumping up in the muddy water.
