Chapter 392: Predator

Standing next to Patriarch Kiri is Nelson of Wharton Fisheries, Xiao Peng's partner in Kamchatka.

At this moment, he was standing beside Patriarch Kiri and the others: "Xiao contacted me and said that he wanted to come here to replenish, and at the same time there was a batch of fish to be disposed of. But he didn't say how long it would be here. Patriarch Kiri, it's too windy here, why don't we go to my company and wait for them first?"

Patriarch Kiri was still thinking something, but an old man in a red robe beside him said: "Mr. Nelson, we appreciate your kindness, in order to show our sincerity, let's wait here a little longer, Patriarch Kiri, what do you think?"

"Bishop Augusto, I agree with you. Mr. Nelson, let's wait a little longer here. Patriarch Kiri said.

If Xiao Peng saw this scene, he would definitely be confused, why did this cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church come?

Cardinal, the name may be relatively unfamiliar to people, but when it comes to cardinals, everyone knows it.

The cardinal is none other than the cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church!

They stood on the dock and waited anxiously, and Xiao Peng on the Bering Sea was a different scene:

"Boss, the bottom trolling net has been changed, when will the net be lowered?" Wang Hu came in and asked.

Xiao Peng just wanted to issue an order, but Yang Meng said: "Xiao Peng, don't be in a hurry to get off the net, the air pressure is not right." ”

"What's going on?" Xiao Peng walked to the weather satellite.

Yang Meng pointed to the meteorological cloud map and said, "There is cold air moving south. ”

Xiao Peng looked at it: ", is the speed so fast? This is to have the rhythm of a storm, Wang Hu, all pay attention, put away the fishing nets as soon as possible, do a good job of deck reinforcement, and go south along the coast of Kamchatka." Keep an eye on the air pressure changes!"

With Xiao Peng's instructions, everyone began to get busy. The Vladimir headed south along Kamchatka. The waves in the Bering Sea are also getting bigger.

Xiao Peng looked at the shore with a telescope: "The weather in this Nima Bering Sea is really unbearable." It's no wonder that fishermen die here every year, and if you don't agree with each other, it will change the sky!"

Yang Meng also said: "Where is not as good as our Huaxia, I am really homesick after walking for so long." ”

Xiao Peng said: "You are homesick there, are you missing your sister, okay? Are you itching to hook up with those girls on your Weibo?"

Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng with disdain: "I suspect that you have a problem now." You don't want a woman after being at sea for so long? In Sergey's place, you don't want to be moved by so many Russian girls?"

Xiao Peng snorted coldly: "Do you think they are all as hungry as you? It's okay to pursue a little bit! I think you can't wait to scourge Sergei's sister over there!"

"What's the matter, just that night, how many can I do? Don't ruin my reputation, okay?" Yang Meng retorted.

"Reputation, do you have that thing?" Xiao Peng said disdainfully, and handed the telescope to Yang Meng after speaking: "Look at the shore, isn't it good-looking?"

Yang Meng followed the direction of Xiao Peng's finger and looked at the shore, it was a sandy beach, and there were a bunch of black or yellow things on the beach, Yang Meng looked at it, and there were northern sea seals everywhere.

"This is the breeding area for fur seals, and every year they give birth and get pregnant in four months, and then stay in the sea for eight months and wait until next year to give birth. Xiao Peng said.

"Didn't you put a few small things in it?" asked Yang Meng with a telescope.

"That's not a small thing, it's a full-grown female fur seal. They have to be responsible for predation during this breeding season, otherwise how will the baby fur seals grow up?"

Yang Meng was stunned: "The female fur seal preys, what about the male fur seal?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Responsible for making the female fur seal pregnant." A strong bear fur dog can have more than 50 wives. This thing is so much fiercer than you!"

Yang Meng was speechless, and continued to see with a telescope.

Xiao Peng is using his mind clone to observe the situation at the bottom of the sea. Not long after the results were put down, Xiao Peng saw a scene that shocked it: a group of sailfish were hunting, and they were besieging a group of herring.

The status of herring among marine fish is very important. The density of its fish and the number of individuals are unparalleled, and it can be said that it is the most abundant fish in the world.

This is also related to the herring's terrible reproductive ability, each female can lay 40,000 eggs, hatch in about two weeks, and live up to 20 years to maturity in four years. The reason why herring can reproduce in large numbers is related to the fact that herring is good at regulating light, and herring can smoothly enter various water layers of different depths to obtain food.

And the herring swimming in a swarm, it was a very magnificent scene. As schools of fish migrate, some large, brightly colored individuals act as the vanguard, followed by dense schools of fish, and the ranks grow larger and larger.

Almost all migratory fish prefer to live in groups, with strong ones such as tuna swarming for better predation, and weak ones such as herring for their own protection.

This is because herring swim quickly in large schools of fish, and their shape and color can dazzle predators, making it difficult to focus on a single fish, and even if the fish are scattered, only a few fish will be eaten, so swarm action has an extremely important protective role in the life of herring.

It's a pity that this group of fish was a little unlucky and ran into a school of sailfish.

The swordfish, also known as the marlin, and its distant relative, the swordfish, are the fastest swimmers in the ocean's short distances. What both fish have in common is that they both have a long, thin spine in front of their mouths. The difference is that swordfish have a wide dorsal fin, while swordfish do not. Hence the name Sailfish. Both species are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world's oceans, and are relatively rare in the Bering Sea, where they should be prepared to head south after feeding.

It can be seen that the luck of this group of herring is really bad. encountered a school of sailfish, although there were only more than 30 sailfish in this group, Xiao Peng could almost conclude that this group of herring was more than lucky.

You know, the sailfish is one of the fastest fish in the world, and its speed makes it one of the most fearsome predators in the ocean, with few natural predators. Sharks don't provoke them, and the spikes on their heads are really not decorations. The Eagle Nation steamship "Barbara" was once attacked by a swordfish, and the spikes on the swordfish's head actually penetrated the steel hull of the "Barbara"!

But attacking a dense school of fish like a school of herring is impossible with speed alone. The school of sailfish also cooperated: a school of sailfish surrounded the perimeter of the herring school to prevent the herring from escaping. Then orderly one by one attacked the schools of herring. Since the herring is so dense that it is too difficult to choose a target, the sailfish choose to get close to the fish and hit the fish with the spikes on the top of their heads, so that the herring will lose its balance and isolate it from the school and swallow it in one gulp. Of course, this technique is not always successful, but one swordfish misses, and the other follows directly, and such a large school of herring, except for a small number of escapes, is thus preyed upon by a school of swordfish that hunts methodically.

After watching this hunting scene, Xiao Peng only had to sigh at the magic of nature. The sailfish were full of food and drink and were about to leave, but Xiao Peng reacted and directly hit the spiritual technique. Let's go to Senlito Rock and stay later. Anyway, there are too many herrings in Qianliyan, and now the hunters there can't digest that many herrings. It's not a big deal to have a few more to eat.

Sailfish is also a top-notch and delicious ingredient, and the price is not cheap. In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, it is even more delicious than tuna. The big fish caught by the old man in the famous "The Old Man and the Sea" is the sailfish.

Watching the group of sailfish follow his instructions and march towards Qianliyan, Xiao Peng just wanted to retract his mind clone, but saw several round reddish-brown figures swimming by. Xiao Peng saw the coming object clearly, his face was overjoyed, and he directly activated the spiritual technique, you follow the sailfish to the long march to Qianli Rock!

In fact, these reddish-brown figures are not an uncommon species, they are octopuses, but this octopus is a bit big, and it also has a domineering name: Pacific giant octopus.

As the three mollusc brothers, octopus, squid, and squid. In fact, all three have a 'boss'.

Squid: Also known as the gun squid, their eldest is the king squid, which lives around the Antarctic continent and is the largest mollusk and invertebrate. This thing grows fast and dies quickly, with a lifespan of about a year and a half, and its biggest feature is that it has two huge eyes, which are designed to deal with its only natural enemy--- sperm whale. Their eyes have luminous devices, which can not only produce light, but also detect the glimmer of other creatures, in the deep sea, they use these big eyes to distinguish the flow of luminous microorganisms around the sperm whale, to judge the location of the sperm whale, and escape at any time.

And the squid, the eldest king of the squid, is even more powerful, with a body length of up to twenty meters. It is the second largest mollusk known. Only smaller than the king squid, they live mainly in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. Scientists claim that the largest king squid can reach 80 meters and weigh 50 tons! It is the invincible overlord of the deep sea! Unfortunately, until now, people have only been able to learn about these animals by those who float to the surface after being killed or injured or washed ashore by the sea, or find their remains in the stomach of sperm whales. It is extremely difficult to catch them. The prototype of the mythical 'Kraken, the giant monster of the North Sea', is him.

The boss of the octopus is relatively common, and that is the Pacific giant octopus. However, compared with the previous two, the gap between this giant squid is really not ordinarily large, and it can only be about the same as the second Humboldt squid in the spear squid family.

Compared to the size of the king squid and the king squid, the Pacific giant octopus is like a baby that has not grown up. ()
