Text Chapter 707 California Red Abalone

And what Xiao Peng said about New Zealand's 'diving king' William Trubridge,.。 Even many people believe that his achievements are higher than the rest, because his diving method is freehand diving, without the help of any auxiliary equipment, no fins or the like, just rely on his own hands and feet, one breath to dive to a depth of 116 meters!

Like the rest of the divers who challenge the depth of the dive, they hold the weight, maintain a fixed position, borrow the weight of the weight to dive freely, and release the weight to return to the surface after reaching a certain depth, while Trubridge dives to the bottom of the sea by himself in the breaststroke position. It's a lot harder than diving with heavy loads!

After all, when the depth of the dive exceeds 60 meters, the huge sea pressure will cause a large amount of nitrogen in the human body to integrate into the blood, which will make people have the symptoms of 'nitrogen anesthesia', and the whole person's nervous and mental state is in a drunken state. So he's also a super monster.

Xiao Peng was ashamed to say that he was Trubridge's teacher, so naturally it was no wonder that those people were angry.

The blonde man snorted coldly, pointed to an area in front of him and said, "That location is the undersea reef area, where there are California red abalones, but let me tell you first, the water conditions there are extremely complicated, and if you are not careful, you will catch it if you go there." ”

Well, this person is generally not bad, no matter how unhappy he is, he still tells himself where the danger is, Xiao Peng thought of this, smiled and said thank you to the blonde man, everyone thought that Xiao Peng was going to avoid that area, but Xiao Peng pushed the buoy and swam directly there. To be precise, it was also Xiao Peng's target area, because he had already thrown his mind into the bottom of the sea, looking for where there was a big California red abalone, and the location that the blonde man said was exactly where Xiao Peng was going. However, Xiao Peng's actions made the blonde man angry, and in his eyes, Xiao Peng didn't know what to do.

Xiao Peng didn't care about them, he had to hurry back to the shore to fish, so Xiao Peng swam directly to the target sea area, and dived directly to the bottom of the sea with an abalone shovel and a nine-inch abalone caliper. Xiao Peng, a seven-inch abalone caliper, didn't ask for it at all. At the very least, it must be a 'medal-level abalone'.

California red abalone has a proper name, more than nine inches is called 'medal California red abalone', more than ten inches is called 'beast California red abalone', the higher the level, the more valuable!

Xiao Peng dived to the bottom of the sea, this is indeed as the blonde man said, it is a reef area, and it is also a kelp growth area, and California red abalone lives in such an area, the more abundant the kelp, the denser the California red abalone. I have to admit that the wildlife protection in the United States is really good, the California red abalone here, there are not too many, there are at least four or five lying on the rocks every time, Xiao Peng has to do it, just take a caliper to measure which one is bigger, and then get the biggest one.

The first time he observed the California red abalone in the sea at close range, Xiao Peng's first feeling was: it is not worthy of the name. Isn't it a red abalone? Why is it the same color as a rock? After careful inspection, I realized that it was because the surface of the red abalone was covered with algae and barnacles, and it was impossible to see its original color.

Compared with other abalones, the abdomen and feet of red abalone are particularly developed, and the most important thing is that its skirt is very beautiful, the color is dark purple and light purple, which looks very beautiful, and within a few minutes, Xiao Peng found a large California red abalone. In fact, in terms of length alone, this is really not big, and it looks like it has just reached the beast level. But this abalone is too unique! The whole is a big round steamed bun! Xiao Peng has never seen such a round abalone! Xiao Peng took out an abalone shovel and carefully shoveled it up little by little along the shell of the abalone.

Xiao Peng had a good time at the bottom of the sea, but whether it was the fishing police on the shore or the other divers in the sea, they all looked nervous.

Male Coast Guard: "Hey, partner, the Chinese man you fancy has been down for five minutes, right?"

The female coast guard looked at her watch: "yes, it's just been five minutes!"

Male coast guard: "The sea area there can be more than 30 meters deep, and there are many undercurrents, he can't have an accident, right?"

The female coast guard didn't answer him, staring at Xiao Peng's abalone buoy with a telescope, with a nervous look on her face: "Probably not, right?"

The male coast guard took out the walkie-talkie: "In another minute, if he doesn't come up, I'll call the police for help." This damn Huaxia boy is really going to cause us trouble!"

The female coast guard nodded, did not speak, but continued to observe with a telescope.

And in the sea, several divers who were holding buoys were also there to discuss: "Adamson, that Huaxia can't have an accident, right?"

Adamson was the blonde guy, and when he heard his friend's question, he gritted his teeth: "You guys wait for me here, I'll go and see." ”

"Adamson, this won't work, the waters are too dangerous there!" someone stopped Adamson.

Adamson shook his head: "After all, I told him that place he only went, in case something happens, I will feel guilty, don't worry, I'll go over and take a look, I won't dive too deep." ”

"Let's go over together, this damn Huaxia man is really going to cause trouble. So the four of them swam together to Xiao Peng's abalone buoy, the abalone buoy is tied to the person with a thin rope, if Xiao Peng really has an accident, he can be dragged up with a rope.

The four of them had just swam to Xiao Peng's abalone buoy, and Adamson was about to pull the rope with his hands, but saw Xiao Peng poking his head out of the water and looking at the four of them: "Hey, friends, why are you here?"

Adamson and the others looked at Xiao Peng's strange expression, and the red-haired young man who greeted Xiao Peng first said: "God, do you know how long you have been in the water? It's been six minutes! We all thought something had happened to you! I even came to see you, you are having fun here! You have to think about it for us!"

Xiao Peng's heart warmed after hearing this: "Thank you, brothers, for worrying about you, but you are right, there is really abalone here, and it is still very big!" After speaking, he raised his hand and showed the 'big steamed bun' red abalone he was carrying in his hand to everyone.

"Oh, Shet!" Adamson looked at it and burst into a foul mouth: "Have you found a deep-sea monster?" The other three also took a breath together.

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say that the largest red abalone can be twelve inches long? It's not big. ”

"God forbid, let's kill this pretending criminal!" The red-haired young man drew a cross on his chest and looked at Xiao Peng with envy: "Huaxia, red abalone is not only about size, but also about weight, the current California red abalone weight record is a red abalone caught by Reddy Jones, weighing 7.5 pounds! His red abalone is also as round as you, but that red abalone is only 9 inches long, and it is not as round as yours, you are at least a pound heavier than his! Damn, congratulations on making a fortune." ”

"Fortune? Doesn't it mean that a red abalone is one or two hundred meters of gold?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Adamson sighed: "Brother, you're talking about seven to eight inches of small red abalone, and that was the price ten years ago, and now it costs at least 500 meters of gold! As for the California red abalone above the medal level, the price is even more terrifying, one will cost one or two thousand meters of gold, and I believe that you big monster sells it for 5,000 meters of gold! If it weren't for the fact that it was so expensive, who would dive here every day to find abalone? And now there are fewer and fewer big abalones, we just dived there for half a day, and we didn't find a suitable abalone." ”

Xiao Peng was taken aback when he heard this: "Damn, this abalone is so expensive, is it so exaggerated?"

Adamson looked at the big abalone in Xiao Peng's hand with envy on his face, and said leisurely: "Now Southern California has banned the fishing of California red abalone, and Northern California only allows manual fishing. Every year, Northern California holds the California Red Abalone World Culinary Championships, but if you want to participate, you can only participate in the competition after freediving and fishing for abalone according to the law. ”

Xiao Peng didn't know what to say, and there was really no one doing anything to protect the wild resources in this rice country.

Adamson looked at Xiao Peng: "Okay, shit luck guy, don't be stunned, hurry up and register." The fisherman is staring at it. ”

Xiao Peng must have come back to his senses, opened the waterproof buoy directly, took out a sealed box from it, which contained an abalone license and a pen, wrote the time and fishing area and abalone license number on it, and wrote the same content on a label, and then threaded the label into the abalone hole with a disposable buckle, this label is disposable, and it can't be untied when it is buckled, which is to prevent the small one from being replaced after catching the big one.

The most hateful thing is that these formalities must be completed in the sea, and if you want to go ashore and then fill in the information? The fishery police will be fined if they catch it! It is not easy to fill in these documents at sea, you think, the registration form and label are not afraid of water, but it is difficult to write the pen as soon as it gets wet, and there is no one around the sea, who do you ask to borrow the pen to use?

California Fishing and Hunting Bureau's measures are to put it bluntly, how to increase the difficulty for people, so in addition to the real good hands, it is really difficult for anyone to catch California red abalone that meets the regulations, someone has made a statistic, one hundred people who catch red abalone, can have one can catch red abalone, and 10,000 people who catch red abalone, one can catch 24 places a year is not bad, especially perennial salvage, it is difficult to see more than seven inches of California red abalone in the offshore. That's why the price of California red abalone is so expensive!

Xiao Peng threw the fished Big California red abalone into the buoy, Adamson and the others looked envious, Xiao Peng looked at a few people: "There are many Big California red abalone below, almost all of them are more than seven inches." ”

Adamson shook his head: "The water conditions down here are too complicated, we really don't dare to go down, and the water here is too deep, even if we go down, we won't have time to choose a target to catch abalone." ”

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "I thank you for caring about my safety, and I came here to care about my situation, in order to show my gratitude, why don't you go down and help you salvage?"

Adamson glanced in the direction of the shore: "The fishermen are watching there." It's miserable to be caught. ”

Xiao Peng showed a sly smile: "I have an idea, you listen to me。。。。。。 ”
