Chapter 616 Invasion of Alien Species

No matter how dissatisfied Academician Liu was, this huge Kunshi still became a rockery furnishing in Xiao Peng's Academy. When Academician Liu really visited Xiao Peng's small courtyard and saw the room full of golden silk nan ebony furniture, Academician Liu stopped talking, and said that literati and scholars 'don't bend their waists for five buckets of rice', but now no one is a fool, seeing Xiao Peng's house full of wealth, Academician Liu can only sigh and continue to engage in his own biological research.

Xiao Peng is paying attention to the newly released seedlings in the sea, and there are certain losses, especially the European blue dragon, but in any case, they have settled down in Qianliyan. Just settle down. Every day, Xiao Peng is driving the Dumpling, looking here and there in the fishing ground, putting in the feed, playing with the whales and sharks, or he will accompany his pet army on the island, and he can play chess with his grandfather and father no matter how bad it is. Life is easy.

It's really true to say that the so-called blood relatives are true, the relationship between Father Xiao and Grandpa Xiao has been much better after such a period of running-in.

"Hey, Xiao Peng, it's boring for us to stay on the island like this, right?" Yang Meng couldn't bear the loneliness, and encouraged Xiao Peng to say, "Let's go out and find a place to play." ”

"Where are you going?" Xiao Peng lay on the recliner basking in the sun, looking lazy.

Yang Meng said: "Aren't you going to go to the United States in a while? Otherwise, let's go to the Pacific Ocean to fish around, and then go to the United States to sell fish?"

Xiao Peng was drinking tea, and a pop squirted out: "Big brother, I have no grudge with you the day before yesterday and no enmity today, why do you want to harm me?"

"What do you mean?" Yang Meng was puzzled.

Xiao Peng explained: "There are many special things in the place where the hair is hung in the United States, no matter what it is, as long as it involves wild animals, it will all be trouble, and the Asian carp in the United States is not overflowing? The foodies in our country say all day long that they will make a fortune if they go to the United States, that is pure nonsense! No matter how the Asian carp is rampant, if you do not fish and sell it without permission, it will be illegal, let alone marine fish." Let's just put it this way, no matter how much fish we catch, we don't have a fishing license in the United States, and we can't sell it. ”

Yang Meng asked, "What does this mean? Isn't it still allowed to sell fish in the United States?"

"BINGO!" Xiao Peng snapped his fingers. "You're really right! In the United States, if you want to sell fish, you can only sell fish from legal sources, such as fish raised in fishing farms, for example, fish caught by fishing boats with legal fishing licenses. Other than that, it's illegal for you to sell fish. For example, Asian carp is rampant in the United States, and there was once a Chinese restaurant owner who went to catch some Asian carp and sold it in the store, so it was a crime, and the final compensation directly made his restaurant close. ”

"Can't you sell the fish you caught?" Yang Meng was stunned.

Xiao Peng nodded: "It doesn't matter how many Asian carp you catch, it's not illegal, who cares if you catch it to feed pigs, dogs, cats or eat yourself, who makes Asian carp a disaster? But if you want to use it for profit, then it's illegal." No matter how many people don't eat Asian carp, it's always okay to catch it and make fishmeal, right? That's also a good thing to make money? It can make money and control the number of Asian carp, but it's a pity that the nature protection laws and regulations of the United States are so strict, no one dares to touch this piece, so they can only watch the Asian carp flood. ”

Yang Meng smiled: "The feelings of the Asian carp in the United States are all self-inflicted?"

"That's right, to put it simply, I found it myself. There is nothing wrong with protecting wildlife, but it also has to change depending on the situation. Xiao Peng said.

Yang Meng laughed when he heard this: "If it were our Huaxia, the invasion of these alien species would never be on a large scale, and they would all be eaten for him!"

Xiao Peng listened to Yang Meng's words and looked at him like an idiot. "Hey, why do you think of me like that?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng gave Yang Meng an answer: "Do you know? In fact, China is the country in the world that suffers the most from the invasion of alien species! Up to today, the number of alien species that have been confirmed to be invasive has been as high as 544, of which more than 100 species have occurred in a large area and caused serious harm, causing direct economic losses of up to hundreds of billions of yuan every year! Especially in recent years, the number of alien species invasion has gradually increased, and the scope of spread has become larger and larger! You only see the influx of carp in the United States, the infestation of rabbits in Australia, the infestation of oysters in Norway, and you don't see the invasion of alien species in our country. Among the 100 most threatening alien species in the world announced by the IUCN, there are as many as 50 species that have invaded China! And the number is increasing every year!"

"Is it really fake? and there are species that can pose a threat in China?" Yang Meng obviously didn't believe it.

"Do you really think that Chinese foodies are omnipotent?" Xiao Peng glanced at Yang Meng: "In China, more than 95% of the invasive species are introduced by humans! Many times the purpose of causing it is good, but the result is unsatisfactory, such as the Fushou snail, which is native to the Amazon basin of South America." Thirty or forty years ago, when it was introduced to Taiwan Island, Guangdong, and other places, at that time, the Fushou snail was called a fire, and it was big, wasn't it? There were many professional farmers who popped up! It was quite popular in China. But later people found that the flesh of this Fushou snail was soft and not as delicious as the local snail, so the sales of Fushou snail were pitiful, and those farmers gave up. Since then, the snail has become a wild animal in rivers, ditches, and ponds. Because the Fushou snail has a variety of foods, strong fecundity, and fast growth, it soon became a harmful animal in southern China. In particular, Fushou snails often eat the leaves and stems of aquatic plants, causing huge losses to rice, lotus roots, and narcissus! Just like in Luzhai County, Guangxi, the density of Fushou snails in the rice fields is as high as nearly 20 per square meter! At the peak, as high as 64 percent of the rice is damaged! Grain production is seriously affected!

Yang Meng disagreed: "Then let's eat, find a good cooking method, we can't eat them all?"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "How can it be so easy? There is a parasite in the body of the Fushou snail. It can be transmitted to humans. So now we have nothing to do about this Fushou snail. Chemical control can only be used as the main control, supplemented by artificial control, and biological control has not yet been carried out. ”

When Yang Meng heard this, he frowned and said, "This thing is so terrifying?"

Xiao Peng said disdainfully: "Is this terrible? There are more terrible invasive species! For example, the Brazilian turtle is even more terrible than the Fushou snail?"

"The Brazilian tortoise, the petty one, I used to have a pair, and then I put them in an artificial lake. Yang Meng said.

"Then congratulations, you have made a huge contribution to the spread of Salmonella. Xiao Peng teased.

Looking at Yang Meng's dumbfounded expression, Xiao Peng felt very satisfied and explained: "The origin of the Brazilian turtle is actually not Brazil, but the Mississippi River in the United States, many people keep it as a pet, and there are also restaurants to cook Brazilian turtles. But what everyone doesn't know is that it is one of the most dangerous invasive species of the IUCN. This little thing is the main culprit in the spread of Salmonella, a bacterium that can be transmitted to homeothermic animals, including humans. Moreover, it has a high reproduction rate and strong survivability, and has spread in the wild in China in recent years due to pet abandonment, religious release and other reasons. At present, our Chinese law has strictly prohibited the import of Brazilian turtles, but the embarrassing thing is that there are no laws and regulations in China to restrict the sale of Brazilian turtles, so it is really difficult to make Brazilian turtles disappear from China. ”

"There are so many examples like this, such as the African giant snail, which is distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Fujian, Taiwan Island and other places in China. It eats everything except crops, trees, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, and other plants, even paper, the corpses of companions, and cement when hungry! And it is also the main culprit in spreading tuberculosis and eosinophilic meningitis, and it is impossible to eat at all. The existence of this thing is just a disaster!"

For example, mosquito-eating fish were introduced to eliminate mosquito larvae and reduce the number of mosquitoes, but mosquito-eating fish are extremely aggressive, often attacking fish that are twice their size, such as medaka fish and other juveniles, reducing the number of native fish! There are also many insects and plants that invade, such as water hyacinth, ragweed, Mikania, and water hyacinth。。。。。。 Too much. ”

Yang Meng thought about it for a long time, and finally came back to his senses: "I think I understand what kind of biological invasion will form a scale in Huaxia." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "What kind of scale will be formed?"

"You can't eat it! You said that a lot of things can't be eaten! What can be eaten is not a threat in Huaxia!" Yang Meng said: "In the final analysis, Huaxia foodies are too powerful, and everything that can be eaten is definitely not a threat." ”

"Who said that? Who said that what can be eaten is not a threat?" Xiao Peng said disdainfully.

"Can delicious food also be a threat?" Yang Meng was a little dumbfounded.

"Of course! Bullfrogs are delicious, aren't they? But the threat posed by bullfrogs is even greater! Now in China, except for Tibet and Hainan, the economic losses caused by bullfrogs are no less than those of other invasive species! They have even posed a threat to amphibians in various parts of China! They have seriously affected biodiversity! You must know that bullfrogs can eat everything, and the local little frogs and tadpoles are their food, and even the fish fry are not spared, and the fish in Dianchi Lake are almost eaten by the bullfrogs! There are also crayfish, which is what everyone calls crayfish! Now it can be seen everywhere in China, because the crayfish eats a wide range of foods, reproduces rapidly, and spreads very easily, it is extremely threatening to local fish, crustaceans, and aquatic plants, destroying the local biological chain! Moreover, it likes to eat plant roots, which has a disastrous effect on natural vegetation such as rice! Moreover, it is even more harmful to fish fry and artificially bred mussels!

Yang Meng listened, didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly turned around and was about to leave.

"Mengzi, what are you doing?" Xiao Peng asked puzzled.

Yang Meng said without looking back: "Today I will go to the town to eat crayfish and bullfrogs! ”

When Xiao Peng heard this, he was happy: "I think it's okay, it's boring on the island, let's go, let's go to the town, eat bullfrogs and crayfish!"
