Section 197 Kanas Lake (5)
We chatted for a long time with great interest, eating fruits, drinking milk wine, pushing cups to help the lamp, talking and laughing, until the middle of the night, in the dead of night, when everything was silent, everyone woke up like a dream and hurriedly washed up, exhausted to sleep, but I and Xiaofei two night owls still chatted with great interest, excited and couldn't sleep, so we continued to chat, Xiaofei said to me: " However, this lake monster is 100% there, and many people have seen it, because this Kanas Lake is big and deep, and the things in it are very big, and the people here are not surprised to see it, I heard that a villager once caught a big fish in the lake, and after cutting it into small pieces, 40 horses were not finished. For example, on the night of September 27, 2003, a strong earthquake struck the border between China and Russia. Around 7 p.m., half an hour before the earthquake struck. Sitting in a dinghy, Bazarbek was preparing to return to the lake area, accompanied by Sailik, deputy chief of the Resources and Forestry Section of the Management Bureau, Kang Nanbei, a police officer from the Forestry Police Station, and a staff member and the captain of the ship. When the dinghy reached Erdao Bay in the lake area, the lake monster appeared! About 200 meters ahead, there was a spectacle of an unidentified black giant jumping out of the water twice in a row. One is a vertical jump with its head about 10 meters from the water, and the other is a horizontal leap with a length of 5 to 6 meters. The interval is only within a few tens of seconds. The people who suddenly saw the strange scene were stunned, and they were also very panicked, so they turned the bow of the boat and quickly returned to the dock along the side of the lake. Half an hour later, a 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Sino-Russian border, about 100 kilometers from Hanas Lake. Bazarbek, who has been working in Hanas for three years, said that he was skeptical about the existence of lake monsters, and this was the first time he had seen them, but unfortunately he was working at the time and did not have a camera or video camera at hand. In 1980, the Hanas comprehensive expedition team composed of a number of scientific research units in the autonomous region was established, although the search for the monster was not written into the agenda, but this is the desire of every expedition member. The team responsible for the investigation of land animals and plants has discovered some rare animal species, such as the Altaylin frog, the viviparous lizard, and the albino bear. And the albino bear is not the polar bear as it is known, but a special variant species. Therefore, this incident suddenly gave a revelation to the expedition members: Is there also an ordinary aquatic animal at the bottom of Hanas Lake, which has become huge and fierce after being alienated by a special environment? For example, is it a mutation of the big red fish? "I have never heard of this kind of fish, is it red, so it is called the big red fish, so I asked Xiao Fei curiously, Xiao Fei is like a stream, like Baidu Encyclopedia: "This fish is also called Zheluo salmon, also known as Zheluo fish, belonging to the order Salmonformes, salmonidae, salmonidae, Zheluo fish. Commonly known as: Zheluo fish, Zheluo fish, Zhelu fish (Northeast), is a big red fish only in Xinjiang. English name: Taimen, Huchen. Endangered Status: Vulnerable. The body is long, slightly flattened, cylindrical. The head is flattened, the snout is pointed, the mouth is large, and the mouth is distal. The maxilla is distinct, free, and extends posteriorly behind the posterior margin of the eye. There are sharp teeth on the upper and lower jaws, vomer, and tongue that slope inward. The scales are very small, elliptic, the supranal rings are very clearly arranged, there is no radiation groove, the lateral line scales are 193-242, the lateral line is complete. Adipose fins are more developed. The back is blue-brown, and the belly is silvery-white. There are many small, dark black cross-shaped spots on the head and sides of the body. During the spawning period, both male and female are bronze-colored, and the lower lobes of pelvic and caudal fin are orange-red, which is more pronounced in males. pyloric sac 205-219. The salmon is a cold-watered, pure, freshwater, ferocious prevorous fish. Most of the year, they live in low-temperature (below 15°C) and fast-flowing streams. In winter, due to the influence of the water level, they gradually move to the river or nearby deeper water bodies before freezing, looking for a suitable place for wintering. After the opening of the river in spring, the river is migrated to the stream, and after August, it moves to the main stream. There are fishermen along the Heilongjiang River
The proverb "fine scales, syrup, seven up and eight down", which refers to the migration law of fine scale fish and serosaurus.
Sexual maturity takes 5 years of age, and the body is 40-50 cm long. The reproductive season begins in mid-May, when the water temperature is around 5-10°C, and the broodstock spawn in small rivers with strong currents and a gravel bottom, in the same way as the salmon.
Broodstock have the habit of burying eggs and protecting their nests. A large number of people die after spawning, especially males. Juveniles like to lurk between gravel gaps and do not swim often.
The sturgeon is very voracious and is one of the most ferocious species of freshwater fish. Foraging time is mostly before sunrise and after sunset, swimming from deep water to shallow water to the shore to hunt other fish and snakes, frogs, rodents and water birds in the water, and other times lurking in the shaded water on both sides of the stream.
They eat all year round, and when the water temperature is slightly higher in summer, their appetite is poor, and they even stop eating, and they do not stop eating in winter, and only stop eating during the reproductive period.
It is mostly distributed in the Heilongjiang, Tumen and Irtysh rivers in China. Abroad, it is distributed in the Lena River to the Pechora River in Siberia, Russia, and the upper reaches of the Volga River and the Ural River in Eastern Europe.
The salmon grows at a fast rate and develops at an equal rate, making it a large economic fish. Generally, individuals are more than 3 kilograms, and the largest ones can reach 50 kilograms, and they are more than 1 meter long.
The meat is delicious and tender, and it is a nutritious fish, and it is also a specialty of the alpine region, and it is a precious food in the production area.
There is no detailed report on the amount of salmon resources, but according to the Fishery Resources of Heilongjiang Province (1985), the number of salmon in Heilongjiang has decreased significantly compared with the past, and the catch in the province is almost non-significant.
It is mainly due to the overfishing during the breeding period, which greatly reduces the replenishment population, and the environmental pollution destroys the environmental conditions for survival, resulting in a significant decline in resources.
No effective protection measures have been developed. Xiao Fei said freely for a long time, talking endlessly, such as a number of treasures, I thought he had an excellent memory, it turned out that he took advantage of my inattention, and was concentrating on looking at his mobile phone, according to the book.
I said disapprerovantly: "I also said how good you are, I didn't expect to read it according to my mobile phone, but you don't want to mess around and say a lot of nonsense, always chattering about the big red fish, what's the point, you won't say that the lake monster is eating these big red fish to grow up, so the lake monster is never short of food, because there is an endless stream, dense big red fish, you still say the lake monster, I know that this red fish is also a fish, it also has fish eyes, fish head, fish tail." Salmon salmonidae, herringiformes, salmonidae, is a rare cold-water carnivorous fish in the north, fierce and alert, hidden in the water for many years, the body of the fish is reddish-brown in the breeding season, so it is also known as the big red fish. Studies have shown that the maximum weight of the adult is about 2 to 3 tons, and the juveniles feed on small fish, and the large fish often swallow wild waterfowl such as wild ducks on the surface of the water, and also eat otters and large water rats in the lake. Xiao Fei said happily: "Haha, you can see it, okay, seeing that you are so anxious, I won't talk nonsense for a long time, I'll continue to go straight to the point, lest Miss Ziyue get angry, the consequences are very serious, and the mysterious Kanas Lake monster appears frequently, which not only attracts more and more tourists to come to find it."
The sight of the "lake monster" has also aroused the interest of scientific researchers in Xinjiang. Yuan Guoying, chairman of the Xinjiang Ecological Society and a researcher at the Xinjiang Academy of Environmental Protection Sciences, believes that the lake monster may be a salmon.
He had already confirmed this statement 20 years ago when he witnessed the appearance of the lake monster. He believes that there are only eight species of fish living in Kanas Lake, and among them, only the river fish snow and the salmon may grow to more than 1 meter, but the river fish snow generally lives on the bottom of the water, and the salmon will surface.
Yuan Guoying has been to Kanas as many as 10 times, including two times to see lake monsters. The first time was in July 1985, when he and Xiang Li, a professor of biology at Xinjiang University, each led an expedition team to the Kanas Lake area to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Kanas Lake.
One morning, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. Yuan Guoying saw more than 50 large and small fish on the surface of the lake through a high-powered telescope, and he took pictures with the camera he carried with him.
He also witnessed a lake monster in May last year. Huang Renxin, a retired professor at the School of Life Sciences of Xinjiang University, believes that whether there is a lake monster in Kanas is not worth hype, the so-called lake monster is a big red fish, and Kanas Lake is a mountain lake in the Arctic Ocean water system, and the big red fish may grow relatively large, but no one can say how big it is.
Huang Renxin also told reporters that the development of science and technology in the 21st century has made human beings have a considerable knowledge and understanding of many unknown things, and it should be said that there is nothing to say, and he hopes that everyone can pay attention to more and more meaningful things.
However, ichthyologists once thought that the giant salmon had become extinct in the world, but they were found in Kanas Lake.
But what exactly are these Kanas Lake monsters? is still inconclusive, which has attracted many expeditions to explore the secrets.
A 1.5 million yuan Kanas Lake Monster Revelation has been carried out, but because the diving operation has not yet passed the expert demonstration, coupled with the turbidity of the lake, low underwater visibility, and low water temperature, this activity is unlikely to happen, so it is not possible to listen to the words of the experts, because there is no evidence, there is no right to speak. I sighed and said, "Yes, it seems that under this mysterious, cold and piercing Kanas Lake, there are indeed magnificent waves, rough waves, seemingly calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents floating underneath, those treacherous, ghostly huge figures disappear from time to time, stirring up the quiet life here, attracting our interest, is it the offspring of a prehistoric giant? or some kind of predatory giant fish? or is it a god who protects life by the lake? Or is it a beautiful phantom in people's subconscious?" What kind of creature is this Kanas Lake Monster, it seems that it will only be known when technology continues to develop in the future and can really go into the water to find out. ”
