Weihang has long recognized this shark, which is an endangered species, and has been listed in the "IUCN Red List", "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora", and "Red List of Chinese Species", which belongs to the national second-class key protected animals.

Many people don't know how to tell if it's illegal to hunt an animal. At present, the systems used to determine whether an animal is endangered are the IUCN Threatened Species Classification, CITES, and the China Protected Animals List.

Among them, CITES and the List of Protected Animals in China are mandatory laws and regulations, which fall within the scope of international law and domestic law.

All conventions to which our country is a party must abide by international law. In accordance with CITES and relevant national regulations, the endangered species listed in Appendix I and Appendix II of CITES shall be managed as national key protected animals at the first and second levels, respectively.

Whale sharks, basking sharks, and great white sharks are all listed in Appendix II, which should be managed according to the second level of national key protected animals.

Of course, we should not kill animals that are only listed in the IUCN or other animal protection laws. Otherwise, by the time they are on the verge of extinction, it will be too late to regret it.

Despite knowing this, he couldn't save it unless he approached the killer whales to convey his thoughts to others like crazy eyes.

Even if he can save it, he won't save it, because he knows that this is the law of nature, the weak eat the strong, there is no power to stop it, and the weak can only be reduced to food for the strong.

"Why didn't that shark move? it wouldn't run away?" Wei Hai asked strangely.

"The shark has long been knocked unconscious, and the basking shark swims very slowly, how can it run away? Also, after the shark is turned over, it will lose the ability to resist and be paralyzed. Wei Hang popularized science for this curious boy.

"I've read this in a book before, and it's called 'muscle tone stagnation'. Goofy also said.

When everyone heard about it, there was such a thing? Wouldn't it be better to turn them over when you encounter sharks in the future? Soon. They dispelled this absurd idea, if humans had this kind of power, what kind of sharks were they afraid of?

"Look, why do they seem to be gone?" said Daniel Zhang, who had been paying attention to the sea situation.

When everyone heard the sound, the killer whales really left the shark's carcass and dived into the sea.

"When they saw our ship and left, it seems that they have suffered from whaling ships or other ships. Wei Hang said.

In fact, they react to ships in a variety of ways, from indifference to ignorance or curiosity. Occasionally, there are mass strandings, and groups are sometimes trapped in tide pools or bays. In the Arctic and Antarctic seas. The rapid formation of ice floes due to the winds can be a nuisance for killer whales, sometimes forcing them to stay in small narrow waters for considerable periods of time.

"Isn't this shark ours?" Wei Hai suddenly came to his senses and said excitedly.

"Quick, catch it, this is a basking shark, its fins are the best for shark fins. ”

Gu Yan Ji is more excited than Wei Hai, and it is not a crime to catch him like this. It is foreseeable that the signboard of his hotel will be even louder. Of course, this is also a casual thought. The amount is so small. It doesn't play a role, it can only be displayed as a treasure of the town store, or enjoyed by yourself.

Shark fin is the filamentous cartilage in the shark's fin. It is a seafood treasure made from the fins of sharks.

Shark fin is made of shark fins by drying, and the dorsal fin is called spine fin, dorsal wing or splitting knife, and the wing is more fleshy and less fleshy; Those made of pectoral fins are called wing wings or upper green wings, with fewer wings and more flesh; those made of caudal fins are called tail fins, hook tips or tail hooks; The anal fin is called the purse wing, wing root. The caudal and anal fins have the most flesh and the fewest wings.

Shark fin eating is a cultural phenomenon unique to Asia. Due to China's location in a temperate zone, winters are cold. Drought and flood disasters occur frequently, and inland areas are relatively far away from the sea, so food preservation technology is very developed. Drying is the most important of these methods.

"Isn't it shark fin? What are you excited about? Now many places are starting to boycott shark fin. Daniel Zhang said disapprovingly.

What abalone, shark fin and the like, it is rumored that the outside world is more expensive and expensive, but those who have really eaten it know that it is not a rare thing.

He now knows that double-headed abalone and single-headed abalone are hard to find, and almost all of them are worthless on the market. Of course, the worthlessness here is that for some consumers, some poor people are still a little reluctant to consume.

"You know a fart, have you ever heard of the Nine Wings? Only the fins of the basking shark are the real Nine Wings. Gu Yanji's eyes lit up as he looked at the shark.

There are many kinds of shark fins, the highest level is Tianjiu wing, the others are: sea tiger, golden hook, spring wing, butterfly green, etc., and the second class is the spine wing.

There are two types of wings, whale shark wings and basking shark wings. The whale shark is the largest shark in the ocean, and the dorsal fin of the adult fish weighs about 10 catties, but its wing needles have a rough feeling to eat, and the teeth or tongue are scratched, and the gray taste is also heavy. The basking shark is the second largest shark in the ocean, and the dorsal and caudal fins are especially good.

"Shark fin isn't very tasty, it's not a big deal. Muzi said lightly, there is no love for this, and it doesn't feel as delicious as crabs.

"That's because you don't know how to eat. Gu Yanji can only say that he has no taste cells.

A good shark fin is colorless and odorless, and the fin needle is as soft as mung bean vermicelli and smooth as Shaanxi Liangpi. When the shark fin is brewed at home, the rest of the work is to make the soup.

Legend has it that the earliest shark fin was a foreigner's tribute to the Chinese emperor, this thing has not been done by the imperial chef, so he tried to brew it out, seeing that it is colorless, fragrant and tasteless, he knew that he wanted to add flavor, so he simmered it with old chicken, dried scallops, ham and other things out of the soup, it was strangely fragrant, the emperor tasted it, and praised it, so shark fin entered the list of Chinese cuisine as a treasure.

Today's shark fin chefs are still "kung fu outside the wings", and making soup is the primary productive force, so you must make a different soup.

For Zhao Wenchang and Gu Yanji, who are food tycoons, shark fin, these top ingredients are what they dream of, especially Tianjiu Wing.

"What's wrong with the Nine Wings? It's not poison? I don't know how much mercury has accumulated in it, and I don't know what kind of disease it will cause if I eat too much. I've heard that mercury kills sperm, how much have you eaten? That's fine, right?"

Yun Rulong didn't know when he turned into a messenger of justice and began to condemn eating shark fin, but according to Chen Jianliang and others, he was probably worried about that problem, right?

"! What kind of food doesn't have any side effects? Just eat green vegetables, and there are pesticide residues! You just don't eat anything, just drink more pure water in the future. Gu Yan Ji suddenly jumped like thunder.

Wei Hang ignored their bickering. The conductor scooped up the carcass of the basking shark with a net. If Cheng Dao'an was here, I'm afraid he wouldn't have given up so lightly, and he would have to be nagging again.

Of course, since they are all dead, there is nothing to say. Is it a waste of rotting in the sea?

The basking shark's body was somewhat broken, but the dorsal and caudal fins were still intact, which made Gu Yanji breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is this shark fin so delicious? Can't you see it?" Wei Hai said, looking at the shark's corpse.

"Shark fin is nothing good, the protein content is far inferior to that of eggs, and the taste is all from the ingredients. Yun Rulong pouted and said.

Wei Hai was a little puzzled, this shark fin was not only not delicious. There is also poison, why do so many people like to eat it?

In fact, the main psychological motivation for eating shark fin is mainly to show one's taste and identity, and to pursue it as a high-end lifestyle. Of course, there are some other reasons, such as gift-giving, high-end atmosphere and class.

According to statistics, the number of sharks killed for this purpose is as high as 100 million every year. Of these, 70 million were directly finned and thrown back into the sea while they were still alive. Let them die slowly!

Because shark meat is of little value, most of the other parts can only be made into some cheap industrial products or fish oil, and its huge size is not easy for fishing boats to carry!

Perhaps, you don't have any concept when you see this number. In other words, you will find out how terrifying this is. What a palpitating number.

If a shark weighs one ton and a person weighs 70 kilograms, then 100 million sharks are equivalent to 1.4 billion people, which is equivalent to more than 1.4 billion people being killed every year!

According to the logic that the bigger the shark, the bigger the fin, one ton is already very conservative, and the average weight of human beings, naturally, is not seventy kilograms.

And China is the world's largest consumer and importer of shark fins!

Everyone should be ashamed to eat shark fin, not to hold it up to the top of the platform!

Fortunately in recent years, the government has vigorously publicized it, and many top artists have discouraged everyone from eating shark fin, or eating less shark fin, spreading positive energy, the so-called no buying and selling, no killing!

In the future, the extinction of sharks is definitely the "credit" of the vast number of people, and most of them are responsible.

"I've heard of shark fin bird's nest before, but we don't have sharks in Tangjia Village, and we've never seen shark fins. Wei Hai said.

"Bird's nests are actually nothing, swiftlets and a variety of swallows of the same genus are nests built by mixing saliva and down feathers, which resemble ingots. "Yun Rulong is not very cold.

As for bird's nest or something, it may have a high nutritional value, but it is not necessarily delicious, it is nothing more than relatively rare, and then the price becomes expensive, and it is the embodiment of the identity of the rich.

"Isn't that a bird's nest?" Wei Hai was dumbfounded.

It's incredible! Shark fin is fine, but eating a bird's nest is really incomprehensible.

"Haha! It's not your average bird's nest. Muzi and the others immediately burst out laughing.

He also rarely eats, not because he can't afford to eat, but because he feels disgusted, the saliva and down feathers of the bird, he doesn't know it, and he wants to vomit when he knows it.

"It's so weird who people are now. Wei Hai had to sigh.

Wei Hang was speechless, bird's nest has been eaten for a long time, is it good?

The periphery of the bird's nest is neat, and the interior is rough, like a network of loofahs. The whole bird's nest is white and crystalline, full of elasticity, attached to the rocky cliffs. It has always been known as "rare medicine" and "oriental treasure". (To be continued......)
