The fishing boats continued to move forward, and under the leadership of Wei Hang, they took the route of the sea-rich seas, fishing around the high seas around Australia, as long as they did not trespass into their waters.

The abundance of produce in these seas far exceeded everyone's expectations, and they were soon almost caught.

"Look at what this is, I thought it was a plant, but it moves. Xiao Wu shouted.

His shout attracted everyone's attention, and Ye Wei, who had been bitten by the sea snake before, also began to walk on the deck. After nearly two days of rest and treatment, the poisoning has been completely cured.

In order to rest assured, Weihang also specially contacted domestic experts to conduct professional inspections, but there were only some instruments missing.

Wei Hang took a look, it turned out to be one of the specialties here - Ye Hailong!

Ye Hailong mainly inhabits shallow sea waters with dense reefs and seaweeds. Both morphology, living habits and food habits are very similar to those of seahorses. Because of its beautiful green leaves, it is known as "the most elegant swimmer in the world" because of its beautiful swimming and swaying posture.

Its body is made up of bony plates and extends from appendages that resemble seaweed leaf petals, allowing the Leaf Sea Dragon to disguise itself as a seaweed and safely hide and feed in algae-grown, slow-moving, and unpolluted offshore waters.

"This mouth, like a straw. Muzi leaned over and pointed.

Sea dragons have no teeth, and their mouths act like straws to suck plankton and shrimp-like sea lice into their stomachs.

"What I saw in the book seems to be the Grass Sea Dragon, right?" said one of the crew members.

"Maybe I'm mistaken. He added, after all, in this regard, the big boss of Weihang is an expert, he said that it was Ye Hailong, maybe it was called Ye Hailong, and it was not surprising that he remembered a word wrong.

"Hehe! means you've read a book. It's a creature like a grass sea dragon, and it's pretty much the same. ”

Wei Hang explained that the size of the grass sea dragon is about the same as that of the leaf sea dragon, the difference is that the grass sea dragon has red, purple, and yellow, some have royal blue stripes on the chest, and the appendages on the body and tail are much thinner than those of the leaf sea dragon, and the appearance is closer to that of a seahorse.

"It's very camouflaged, and only reveals its whereabouts when it swings its tiny fins or turns its two independent eyes. ”

"Actually, Ye Hailong is only called so by us Chinese. Gu Haichao said to everyone.

Ye Hailong's name is derived from ancient Chinese myths. In this way, it looks like the ancient description of the dragon, hence the name.

"It's also luck to be able to catch such a Ye Hailong with your own hands. He laughs.

Although not as difficult to find as other mysterious sea animals, the number of people who see this special sea dragon in person is becoming less and less. Due to environmental pollution and the flow of industrial waste into the ocean, Ye Hailong has become endangered.

According to Gu Haichao's understanding, the survival of the sea dragon is greatly threatened, not only the problem of pollution in the shallow waters of southern Australia is becoming more and more serious, but also the beautiful and lovely appearance of the sea dragon, the body that is not easy to swim quickly, and the habit of always remaining still. It also makes them often caught by some unscrupulous people. Both of these sea dragons have been listed as protected animals, especially the delicate and gorgeous appearance of the leaf sea dragon, which is quite rare and precious.

"It's also a protected animal?" Xiao Wu said in surprise.

After being in Tangjia Village for a long time, I naturally know some legal things. In particular, environmental and animal protection laws are often advertised.

It's illegal to catch protected animals!

"Haha, don't worry, boy. The laws of Australia are not useful to us, we are not citizens of their country, and we are not in their country. But. You can't sell it for a very high price, you can't cook it for food, and you don't have the habit of raising creatures. Wei Hang laughed.

"That's good, I'm scared to death. Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the words came out, he was slapped on the head by Cao Da: "You are Lao Tzu, so what are we?"

"Ahem!"

Actually, it's not worthless, Weihang said it on purpose.

You must know that the national treasure marine animal grass sea dragon from Australia is extremely precious, and Ye Hailong, known as the marine giant panda, is a world-class rare marine animal, and it is extremely rare.

It is said that in the whole of China, there are only five leaf sea dragons, which shows how rare they are.

The main thing is that this animal is really rare and cute, and Wei Hang can't bear to watch them perish. He thought to himself, in the evening, go down and look for it, and get some to breed in the sea pearl.

I just don't know what kind of world sensation it will cause when it is released into the domestic sea area when it is discovered.

Gu Haichao heard Wei Hang's advice, and nodded secretly, Xiao Hang's consciousness is high.

"If you have time, you can catch some seahorses and raise them, it's much easier to raise them than to raise this creature. It's beautiful and auspicious. Gu Haichao said.

The seahorse is a sea dragon and can be used in traditional Chinese medicine. The seahorse symbolizes the royal virtue that can reach the sky and the sea, and is also the embodiment of auspiciousness in ancient Chinese mythology.

There are many such animals, and some seafood markets in the city may be found in the streets and alleys, so he is not afraid that these people will harm the seahorses.

Seahorse fish are tropical and warm temperate marine fish that inhabit the low-tide areas of clear water and abundant algae in offshore inner bays. Body color changes with the environment. Slow movement, sometimes upright swimming.

In addition, seahorses are valuable medicinal marine fish, known as "southern ginseng".

"That kind of thing doesn't seem to be very valuable, right? I was in the provincial capital two years ago, and I saw a lot of them, and they were all sold on the ground. Daniel Zhang said.

"What you see, it's basically farmed. Seahorses have a wide range of uses, large sales, and are in short supply in the market. And the growth is fast, the fecundity is strong, is a promising breed of breeding. Wei Hang explained.

However, catching a seahorse is a painful move to do.

It was too small to catch, and they didn't really have the skills to compete with the seahorses.

Of course, if someone wants to breed, it's a good idea. Seahorse fish itself reproduces quickly, and its sales are also good, and if it is farmed, it can generally make money.

However, you have to have some technology, and farming is not so easy.

At present, the biological research on seahorses is not systematic enough, although breeding has been carried out in some areas, but the breeding technology is still very immature, especially the disease damage is serious, and it is still necessary to obtain new experience in theoretical research and breeding practice.

If you are not careful, it is not impossible to lose all your pants and take them off.

If it was before, Wei Hang might still have some ideas, but now there is no place to breed those things in Tangjia Village. That sea lake is used to breed scallops, mainly because scallops are easy to breed and have less labor. (To be continued.) )
