Chapter 396 Special Breeding
The LAL reagent made from LAL blood is a very simple, efficient and sensitive toxin detection reagent, which has a wide range of applications in the fields of medicine and food.
Horseshoe crab reagents are used in vaccines, surgeries, biological experiments, etc., and the demand is increasing day by day, and the price is naturally rising.
It stands to reason that the blood of horseshoe crabs from regular sources should be extracted from artificially bred horseshoe crabs. However, due to the difficulty of breeding and the long growth cycle of horseshoe crabs, this method is not popular.
For now, regular horseshoe crab blood is harvested from the sea during the non-breeding season with the approval of the relevant government departments, and a small amount of blood is drawn before it is released.
Informally, for example, in some coastal areas, there are black-hearted manufacturers who buy wild horseshoe crabs from fishermen at the price of ordinary fish and shrimp, and then directly draw blood and drain them, and then discard the dead horseshoe crabs as garbage or sell them as food.
Due to the profiteering of horseshoe crabs, such illegal killings have been repeatedly banned, and the problem of marine pollution has led to widespread extinction of wild horseshoe crabs.
Distributed in Indian waters is one of the only four remaining horseshoe crabs, called the southern horseshoe crab, also known as the giant horseshoe crab.
Before Lin Han came to India, he had done some research on this, and knew that there was a good Kodia Bay in Nagapatinan County, and there was a southern horseshoe crab distribution nearby, so it should not be a problem to build the world's largest horseshoe crab artificial breeding farm with his ability.
The area of Kodia Bay is several tens of square kilometers, roughly oval in shape, and the opening to the sea in the south is extremely narrow, only about 100 meters at its narrowest point.
In terms of topography, this place is naturally a first-class superiority, and Lin Han can also adjust the terrain through the land authority to make it more conducive to the breeding of horseshoe crabs in the south.
The terrain is no problem, and the water pollution can be easily solved, and a large wave of southern horseshoe crabs will be recruited to breed, and the world's largest horseshoe crab farm will soon be available.
With the development of artificial breeding, the acquisition of horseshoe crab blood will inevitably become standardized, and the corresponding illegal hunting will also be greatly restricted.
And with the price of horseshoe crabs, it's hard to say more, but after it gets bigger, it will still make hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
As a mate of the horseshoe crab, male and female often follow each other, and when they catch it, they are a pair, known as the "mandarin duck on the bottom of the sea".
Lin Han grabbed the two southern horseshoe crabs, looked them up and down for a while, and then put them back into the water, with a slight sound of water, the two horseshoe crabs submerged in the water and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
……
As Dighsit said, in Nagapatinan County, the Pantheon is more effective than the government.
Moreover, Vientiane Group itself is a super heavyweight multinational investor, and the central and state governments of India attach great importance to it, so it took a few days for all the relevant procedures to be completed.
Vientiane Group has also set up a subsidiary in Nagapatinan County, and the name of the company is "Bay Biomedicine" because of Kodia Bay.
In addition, with the unprecedented efficiency of the county government, the solid waste on the water surface and shore of Kodia Bay was quickly cleaned up.
Lin Han himself was not idle, and mobilized microorganisms to purify Cordia Bay and the nearby seas.
At the same time, he also adjusted the underwater topography to increase the depth and set up some undulations to simply divide the waters of the bay.
After a long period of research in Vientiane Laboratory, the bacteria that purify the water body have been continuously optimized, and now even without Lin Han's biological authority, Vientiane is also the world's first in microbial treatment of sewage, and it is far away from the second echelon.
State-of-the-art treatment, coupled with a powerful increase in biological authority, the purification process is good and fast, and before the construction plan for the barrage is out, the Cordia Bay has been purified to a blue color, and the shallower waters are crystal clear.
Think of the Ganges, the holy river of dead bodies and excrement, and the sight of the Gulf of Kodia is hard to find in the whole of India.
Originally, Lin Han was thinking about whether to purify the Ganges River as well, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
After all, the problem of the Ganges cannot be solved by purification, and even if it is purified once, it will not be able to withstand the ravages of hundreds of millions of Indians, and the Indian government does not seem to have the will to do so for the time being......
On the shores of Cordia Bay, under martial law by a team of policemen, Lin Han and Abekar, the magistrate of Nagapatinan County, strolled and talked together.
The county magistrate Abekar was a middle-aged man with a short beard, wearing a bright suit and leather shoes, and he talked and laughed along the way.
“…… Mr. Lin, in the east of Nagapatinan County, there is also a bay, although it is smaller, but the conditions are good in all aspects. ”
"If you are willing to invest there again, the government will definitely give full support, and the land and factories will be subsidized, and it will not be worse than Cordia Bay. ”
Along the way, Abekar seemed to be a salesman, chatting with Lin Han, and his smiling voice couldn't help but reveal a bit of courtesy.
Lin Han smiled slightly: "In the future, Kodia Bay will be mainly used for the breeding of southern horseshoe crabs, and the scale and conditions are already the best, so there is no need to set up a second place." ”
"Of course, in addition to the southern horseshoe crab, we are also planning to carry out some other special farming in Nagapatinan County, such as snakes, centipedes...... he said slowly.
The so-called special breeding refers to the breeding of some less common and special organisms, most of which are related to medicine, and horseshoe crab is one of them.
Nagapatinan County is coastal and has a low latitude, a humid and hot climate, forests, bays, and rich species, plus the political convenience brought by the Pantheon...... For Lin Han, this is indeed an ideal place for the development of special breeding.
"Gulf will build the world's largest special breeding base here, providing raw materials for Vientiane Group's various biotechnology technologies. ”
As he spoke, Lin Han paused suddenly, and then said, "County Magistrate Abekar, I heard that you have experience in breeding before, I don't know, can the Gulf Company hire you as a technical consultant?"
Abekar was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his eyes were a little eager, and he laughed: "Happy!"
Lin Han's words were relatively subtle, and Abekar's reaction was very straightforward, and even made Lin Han a little surprised.
But it's normal to think about it, after all, generally speaking, the poorer the country, the more corruption tends to be more open.
The two talked for a while while walking, and halfway through, Abekar seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked with some hesitation: "Mr. Lin, as far as I know, this is not the breeding season for southern horseshoe crabs, and there are not many horseshoe crab seedlings on the market, and Kodia Bay is so big, do you plan to ......?"
