Chapter 674 Earthquake Fish

A second โ˜… of small โ–ณ said ยง net.. Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

The so-called 'earthquake fish' is actually the emperor ribbon fish.

The emperor ribbon fish is the longest bony fish on the earth, the longest can reach a length of more than ten meters, and the whale shark can reach more than 20 meters, but the whale shark is a cartilaginous fish.

The emperor ribbon fish does not belong to the hairtail fish, but the appearance is very similar to the hairtail fish we usually eat, they are all flat and long belts, but they are dozens of times larger than ordinary hairtail fish. The body is silver, but its most distinctive feature is a red dorsal fin from head to tail. However, because he has always inhabited the deep sea and is very long, he was often mistaken for sea snakes and sea monsters in ancient times, and in Southeast Asia, he was once mistaken for the legendary 'dragon'.

Like the ribbon fish, the emperor ribbon fish is also a carnivorous fish, after all, it lives in the deep sea, where food is scarce, in order to survive, the emperor ribbon fish has evolved for a long time, has become ferocious, preying on all the prey that they can meet, even including other emperor ribbon fish, their predation method is also very interesting, is to curl up their bodies, when the prey is close, pop out like a spring to hunt, is a standard rabbit-type fish.

Although there is a difference between the emperor ribbon fish and the hairtail fish, it is indeed two completely different species from the hairtail fish, the hairtail fish belongs to the perciformes hairtail fish, and the emperor hairtail fish belongs to the moon fish of the moon fish family, just like the moonfish that Xiao Peng encountered when he sailed across the Pacific Ocean is a close relative, although the hairtail fish looks like a belt, and the moonfish looks like a pot lid. And the gap between the hairtail fish and the emperor hairtail fish is probably as big as the gap between humans and macaques. Aside from their similar body shapes, the only thing they have in common is probably what they look like when they are resting and swimming.

Hairtail fish and emperor hairtail fish are not very useful, when they rest in the sea, they are the same: the head is up and the body is vertically vertical in the sea. Balance only with the swing of the dorsal and pectoral fins, observe the movement above, and if you spot prey, the dorsal fin vibrates at high speed and pounces on the prey. Fishermen are very happy to meet a school of hairtail fish in the sea, and tens of thousands of hairtail fish maintain a posture of "looking at the sky" in the sea and wait motionlessly to catch it.

However, this is not the case with the emperor ribbon fish, it lives alone, except for the breeding period, it usually hardly gets together, and strangely, in the waters where the emperor ribbon fish breeds, they have never been found to kill each other, scientists speculate that the emperor ribbon fish will secrete a special enzyme to inhibit its cannibalistic impulse during the breeding season.

The reason why the king ribbon fish is called the 'earthquake fish' is that it is only when there is an earthquake in Haiti that the fish is shaken up and caught. When the fish was found in the fishing grounds, Xiao Peng first thought that there should be an earthquake in Haiti nearby, but Xiao Peng himself did not feel the existence of the earthquake. I guess it's the nearby sea. After all, the emperor ribbon fish is a fish that is sensitive to earthquakes.

Yang Meng listened to Xiao Peng's words, and was dumbfounded: "Big brother, you said to prepare tools, what kind of tools are you using?"

"Ughใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ "Xiao Peng was also stunned, what kind of tools to use? How do I know? Catch it? What to use to catch it? Come online? Yes! Come online!" "Prepare the trawl net, the big hole trawl!" Xiao Peng shouted to Yang Meng, he didn't want to use spiritual enlightenment on this thing, he had other uses for the emperor ribbon fish.

Xiao Peng used the longitudinal technique in the sea to drive the emperor ribbon fish into the fishing net, and finally, the nearly 10-meter-long emperor ribbon fish swam into the trawl net. "Fierce son, be careful when you catch this fish, don't hurt its appearance. I'm useful. โ€

When Yang Meng heard this, he simply ran to the stern of the boat, put his hand into the fish's mouth and dragged the fish: "I'll leave you a live one." โ€

Xiao Peng saw that this was a good solution: "Okay, then it's hard for you, let's get it back to the dock in a while." Be careful, don't let its teeth scratch. โ€

Yang Meng made an OK gesture with his left hand: "What's wrong, is this thing delicious?"

Xiao Peng shook his head and said: "The meat of the thing is like eating paste, fluffy and soft, not delicious." โ€

"Then what are you going to do with it?" Yang Meng didn't understand. "Since it's not delicious, it's still so big, can you keep it as a pet to play?"

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Give it to Academician Liu as a gift, otherwise what are you doing with it? Academician Liu, they are all academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and now they are like veterinarians on our island, can they be rewarded without proper compensation? โ€

The two of them couldn't care about getting on and off the shrimp net and crab pot, so Xiao Peng drove directly to the place where the deep-sea cage was placed. These deep-sea cages are used to raise king salmon in addition to the largest super cage, the other cages are empty, Xiao Peng directly asked Mengzi to throw the emperor ribbon fish into the cage, the cages here are all large-hole cages, and there are many small fish in them, which are used as food for the emperor ribbon fish.

Xiao Peng did all this, then he and Yang Meng went to find a location and got off the crab pot, Xiao Peng caught crabs this time is also very targeted, only catching Japanese cockroaches, that is, crabs commonly known as 'stone clip red' here on Qindao. Compared to the pike crab, this crab has larger claws and more delicious and firm meat.

After getting off the crab pot, Xiao Peng took the phone and made a phone call, explained a few words, and then moved out of the recliner umbrella, lay on the recliner with Yang Meng, and smoked a cigar comfortably drinking red wine.

Yang Meng held an iPad and watched another TV series, Xiao Peng was stunned: "Damn, you still watch TV series?"

"No, a chick asked me to watch it, saying that it was quite popular, what is it called "The First Half of My Life", I can't watch it after watching one episode. But isn't it boring now? Yang Meng replied.

Xiao Peng asked with a smile: "Why can't you watch an episode? Dog blood, no?"

Yang Meng said: "Of course it's bloody, but such a bloody plot also happens in Shanghai, if it happens in Shandong, Chen Junsheng in the first episode will be killed by Luo Zijun." โ€

Xiao Peng listened to Yang Meng's words, he couldn't laugh, and after laughing, he took out two game consoles like a trick: "Come on, go online! โ€

"Damn, what are you bragging? I don't know who is abusing whom?" the two of them had a lot of fun at sea. However, some people are happy and some are worried, and while the two are having fun, some people are already going crazy.

It was none other than Geng Le who was going crazy, and it was no one else who drove him crazy, it was Academician Liu Yixun and Liu.

"Can the ship hurry up?" Liu Yixun looked anxious.

Geng Le said angrily: "This is a ship, this is not an airplane! "You know, Geng Le drove a small 'dumpling', and the speed of the ship is already the fastest on the island. This Academician Liu is still in a hurry.

Academician Liu listened to Geng Le's answer, looked at Geng Le's expression again, and knew that he was not very happy, so he quickly shut up and stopped talking, and stared at Di Wei and Joanna who were sitting on the side.

Two minutes later, Academician Liu turned his head to look at Geng Le again: "Can the boat be faster?"

Geng Le: "ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ โ€

After more than two hours of sailing, Academician Liu asked Geng Le the same question no less than 40 times, and finally Geng Le couldn't help but prepare to throw Academician Liu into the sea, and Academician Liu was honest. Shut your mouth and watch Geng Le drive the boat.

When they finally arrived at the Alalei, Geng Le almost cried when he saw Xiao Peng and the others on the ship: "Boss, you are too good, you guys are playing here, let me suffer this crime?"

"What crime?" Xiao Peng asked. Before Geng Le could answer, Academician Liu had already climbed onto the Alalei, and couldn't wait to ask: "Boss Xiao, where is the emperor ribbon fish? Is it really alive?" Xiao Peng already instantly understood what Geng Le had suffered.

Xiao Peng turned back to Academician Liu and said, "Of course, what am I lying to you for!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the game console in his hand made a sound, and Mengzi raised his hand: "I won!

Xiao Peng looked at it and snorted coldly: "This doesn't count, you are cheating, I'm talking to someone, you are a sneak attack! Let's have another game!"

"Come on, come, who's afraid of whom!" Yang Meng said, and after speaking, he was going to fight again online.

Academician Liu was so anxious that he was about to cry, and his speech and movement changed: "You two have time to play, take me to see it first, I'm really in a hurry." โ€

Xiao Peng was puzzled: "Academician Liu, this emperor ribbon fish should be the scientific research object of the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, right?

Liu Yixun hurriedly said: "Boss Xiao, you may not know that the imperial ribbon fish has been found all over the world over the years, but almost all of them are corpses washed up on the shore, and there are really few living research objects." There are two genera and four species of imperial ribbon fish, and we only have one of the specimens in China, which is the Le's imperial ribbon fish. It was made in the fifties of the last century and caught in the waters of the East China Sea. For so many years, our Huaxia Institute of Oceanography has not been able to conduct relevant research on this fish. โ€

Xiao Peng asked: "In the south, you can always catch a few of these things a year, why can't you study them?

Academician Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Those fish have been eaten." โ€

Xiao Peng was stunned, well, this answer is enough for China, why is Huaxia called CHINA in English? Say it is porcelain? Young people, or too tender, the correct pronunciation of CHINA should be: 'China', yes, where to eat! There is only one reason for all the exotic creatures that are flooding in China: it is not delicious. The delicious food was eaten.

"Isn't it just a fish, and does it have that much research value?" Xiao Peng asked.

Academician Liu said: "This is a fish that is extremely sensitive to earthquakes, and if we can find the answer, it will be of great help to China's earthquake prediction." โ€

When Xiao Peng heard this, he stood up: "In this case, this thing is really worth studying, Mengzi, let's stop playing for now, let's put away the crab pot." Go to the cage again and let Academician Liu see the fish. โ€
