Chapter 202: Sunfish
PS: Thank you for buying an excess, Zixuan Moon, Fever, Xiaoyi 002, Xinzhuang Xiaolangjun, zzxx1212 tips last year!
After playing, when it came to the meal, everyone had a good meal, and then, Daniel Zhang's people began to dive into the sea, leaving Zhang Xueru, Su Meng and other women to continue playing on the island.
People who also like to dive in the sea, there are also a few tourists. According to them, they are from Hong Kong. Unlike Wei Hang and the others, several of them contracted a sailing ship to come over, and each of them spent thousands of yuan.
"How far are you going?" the man asked.
Seeing that Wei Hang and the others were not diving around the island, but getting on the boat, preparing to stay away, they couldn't help but ask.
"There are people diving around here every year, and there's nothing to see. We're going to go some distance to the east. Wei Hang said. This is built yƬ, and everyone agrees.
This group of them is not diving into the sea for fun, but for profit. What treasures could there be at the bottom of the sea, which is often exposed to the eyes of the world? Therefore, they basically do not wander around, it is a waste of effort.
After parting ways with the men, they boarded the boat and headed east.
Half an hour later, the fishing boat was about 20 kilometers away from Dongsha Island. Here, it is still a coral area, and the depth of the sea is not large, but relatively speaking, it is deeper than before, the deepest is fifty or sixty meters, and the light is not very sufficient to the bottom of the sea.
"Do what you can, and don't go where it's too deep. Wei Hang said to them.
In front of them is the deep sea area, which is not something they can go, at least not Daniel Zhang and others. Wei Hang doesn't care, anyway, when he goes to the sea, he basically goes around, and he won't stay around, unless there is a treasure.
Just as everyone was about to go to the sea, they saw a huge strange fish floating on the sea. Leaning sideways on the sea, as if basking in the sun, Daniel Zhang and others were very surprised.
"What kind of fish is that? It's weird. Fang Zhen looked through the binoculars, and he could see it clearly, this kind of fish was the first time he had seen it, as if it had no tail, it was indescribably weird.
"I'll take a look. Others snatched the binoculars over.
When they saw that respectful face, they also looked strange, and said secretly: There are still such fish.
I saw that the fish had only one head. The tail is degraded and looks as if it has been cut in half with a knife. It is about two meters wide and more than three meters long, and it is considered a large sea creature. It swims very slowly and awkwardly. In short, it doesn't look like a fish, but it can be said to be a monster that looks upside down.
"It's called a sunfish, and it's one of the most unique fish. Wei Hang laughed.
It was also the first time he had seen a sunfish, and he had only seen it in books before. It's kind of funny. This fish is also one of the most valuable fish, and even the intestines are also a famous dish on Treasure Island.
Hearing such a strange name, everyone nodded. Seems well accepted. At first glance, it's so strange, with a strange name, just right to match.
The sunfish is one of the largest and most exotic fish in the world. Their bodies are round and flat, like a large saucer.
"Do you want to catch it?" it seems to be easy to catch!" Cao Da asked. One look at the speed at which he swims, and you know that it is not difficult to catch.
Wei Hang nodded. Since I encountered it, I'm embarrassed. Anyway, this is also a precious sea fish, let's talk about catching it back.
He knew that the sunfish had a docile temperament and was often attacked by humans, killer whales and sea lions. In the summer, sea lions often attack large numbers of young sunfish as they drift around with plenty of food and warm currents.
Sea lions often bite the dorsal and pectoral fins of sunfish and attack them at the surface. If the sea lions can't tear apart the thick, hard skin of the sunfish, they throw the immobilized sunfish into the water like a frisbee, making it a meal for the ferocious seagulls. This is how cruel the food chain is arranged by nature.
The reason why they are not extinct is that they rely on their superb reproductive ability, and they are almost the most productive creatures in the biological world, and they may be hundreds of millions of them at a single ovulation, which is quite terrifying. Fortunately, most of them died young, otherwise the world would have been dominated by them.
Spotting someone approaching, the sunfish immediately rolled over and prepared to escape. Although they are docile, they are reluctant to be approached. They are the public enemy of almost all large carnivorous sea beasts in the ocean, and anyone who sees them wants to attack them. Therefore, I am very unhappy to be approached by large creatures, and the feeling of being a soldier of all plants and trees.
Because of this, they are rarely photographed, and every time they are photographed in the ocean, they are highly praised.
However, not only are they not good swimmers, they are even slower, and they are not as fast as people in the sea, so it is no wonder that they have become everyone's public enemy. If such a fish doesn't attack, do you want to hunt down and kill the swordfish, swordfish, and those swimming perverts?
Sunfish are not great swimmers, but they are very good at diving.
This also relies on their own peculiar shape, top-heavy, so that they can easily dive into the sea as long as they bow their heads, plus thick skin, they can dive in the deep sea and withstand the pressure of sea water.
"Hurry up, don't let it dive into the sea. Wei Hang shouted from the boat.
It's better here, not too deep. If you're in the deep sea, it's hard to catch. As long as people sink into the sea, you can't drive a submarine to chase and kill!
Hearing Wei Hang's shout, Daniel Zhang and the others immediately sped up and quickly approached the sunfish.
Several people joined forces, netted it with a net, and dragged it up. This process is quite easy, if it weren't for the size of this fish, which has a few hundred pounds, it would be very easy to catch them.
This is not the largest, it is said that the largest is several thousand catties, which is very heavy.
"Is this fish delicious?" Daniel Zhang asked, wiping the seawater.
"It's delicious, but it's hard to cook. Wei Hang shook his head and simply sold it.
He heard that in Treasure Island, the price of this kind of car is twice as expensive as that of lobster, and the practical value is great. However, it is also known for its thick skin, and it has been caught and boiled by sailors before, and it is said that the pot almost went on strike, and the fish has not yet been cooked. Therefore, in the mouth of the sailor there is such an assessment: put it in a pot and boil, the pot is disgraced!
In fact, he learned from the information that the sunfish has an incredibly thick skin, and its skin is made up of dense bone fibers up to 15 centimeters thick. In the 19th century, fishermen's children would play with thick sunfish skins with strings wrapped around elastic balls.
"Yes, it's not easy, I don't know if it's cooked for an hour. The skin of this fish is very thick, and the knife is not sharp enough, so it is difficult to hurt its muscles and bones. Master Huo smiled.
He had seen this fish twice before, and the first time he saw it, he was also very surprised. That time, the boat boss wanted to eat a meal, and almost had the urge to smash the pot.
Hearing such exaggerated words, Daniel Zhang and the others were even more surprised, and patted the fish body with their hands, which really had an elastic feel, which was amazing.
A fish of this size, with a small mouth, gives the impression that the whole fish violates the laws of science.
"It's not scientific! It's no wonder that such fish are not extinct, it's amazing. Sharks can't even eat, right?" Hearing that the knife might not be able to take it, Fang Zhen was naturally shocked.
"That's not it, its fins are easy to tear, as long as they are torn off, it has no ability to move, so it can only wait for others to drag it away and eat slowly. At night, it becomes a target for large carnivorous sea creatures. Wei Hang said.
"Why?"
Others wondered, can this kind of fish still be a target at night?
"It has a nice nickname, it's called the moonfish. Wei Hang laughed.
He explained that the sunfish mainly rely on the dorsal and anal fin swing to move forward, so the swimming technique is poor and slow, and it is easy to be caught by fixed fishing nets. It lives in the tropical ocean, and there are often many luminous animals attached to its body, and when it swims, the luminous animals on its body will emit bright light, and it looks like a bright moon from a distance, so it has the good name of "moon fish".
"That's really special. ā
Gao Fei smiled and said, "It's not all!
Only then did everyone find out that the sunfish was actually out of gas and had died. Those who didn't know about the sunfish all looked at each other and said secretly: This is also dying too quickly, right?
"Leaving the water so quickly and dying?" Fang Zhen was a little incredulous. Anyway, you're so big, you don't look so fragile, do you?
"It's so fragile! Do you know how it died?"
"Nonsense! On the shore, there is no water, no oxygen, what fish does not die?" Daniel Zhang and the others rolled their eyes and said secretly: You are too insulting to our intelligence, right? Although we have no culture, we also know some common sense.
"No! It's most likely scared to death by you. Goofy laughed.
Hearing this, the others were stunned at first, and then shook their heads, of course they would not believe such unscientific words. If you are caught, you will be scared to death, so if you encounter those ferocious creatures of sharks, wouldn't the sunfish die en masse?
Wei Hang was speechless, and Gao Fei's words were some rumors, but they had not been confirmed.
It is rumored that the sunfish has a very poor psychological endurance and is simply a glass heart. Some people list the causes of death of the sunfish, which is very interesting, the sun is too strong to die, the bubbles in the water enter the eyes and die of excessive tension, the salt of the sea water leaves spots on the body and the blow is too big to die, I feel that I will collide with the turtle swimming in front of me, I am too nervous to die, because the little friend in the vicinity dies and the blow is too big and so on.
These, it all sounds absurd. But there is nothing groundless in the world, and even if it is not, it is enough to show that this fish is easily frightened.
Everyone listened to Wei Hang's explanation, and looked at the dead sunfish again, and really didn't know what to say.
Afterwards, everyone carried the sunfish to the cold storage. When I heard that the price was so expensive, I didn't dare to hesitate, so I would deal with it, and don't go back to spoil when the time comes. (To be continued......)
