Chapter 775: The Formation of the Fisherman's Bay Fishing Grounds

Professor Yu and his colleagues are studying the marine environment of Fisherman's Bay, because they have found that in the past six months, Fisherman's Bay has not deteriorated due to the increase in tourists, and the commercial development has even gotten better.

For example, there is a significant increase in algae in seawater, which is a nutrient for the ocean, and only when algae is abundant, other marine organisms will be abundant, and sufficient nutrients can be provided to fish.

According to their survey, it is incredible that the number of marine life species in Fisherman's Bay has increased by almost a third.

Because of this, they felt it was necessary to conduct a detailed study of Fisherman's Bay.

It can be said that Tangjia Village is a good example of a win-win situation for economic development and environmental protection, and when they study it thoroughly, they can recommend it to other coastal cities.

However, they may never find out the truth. Because of all this, the reason is on Wei Hang's body, a mysterious sea pearl, and no one knows its existence except Wei Hang himself.

"We're all weird, and it's just speculation at the moment. The real reason is still being explored. Fisherman's Bay is very special, and if it continues to develop like this, Fisherman's Bay will evolve into a large-scale fishing ground within a radius of dozens of nautical miles, which is not much worse than the domestic Zhoushan fishing ground. Professor Yu said.

As we all know, Zhoushan fishing boat is the largest fishing ground in China, famous for its rich fishery resources since ancient times, and is located in the East China Sea. It is on par with the Kuril Islands in the Soviet Union, the Newfoundland fishery in Canada, and the Peruvian fishery in Peru.

It is the spawning and bait place of many economic fish and shrimp, and the largest and most productive hairtail fish fishery in China's coastal winter mass fishery is a good area for bottom trawling and has become the most famous fishing ground in the country.

Of course, there was a period of decline in between.

As we all know, the sea near the mouth of the river will definitely be polluted by the river. A large river often condenses all the pollutants of the cities along it.

It is precisely in this way that the Zhoushan fishery has been greatly polluted, and many marine fish have been forced to move away, which has led to the decline of the fishing grounds.

In recent years, the situation has improved, and it is expected that the fishery will be revitalized.

"It stands to reason that Fisherman's Bay should not have such conditions. Professor Yu was puzzled.

Deep seas, such as areas with bottom-up upwells or areas with strong convection, can also be good fishing grounds. Fishing grounds can be formed in places where the thermocline is pronounced, where the current is stable or hydrologically stable, where two different currents meet, in underwater shoals, in waters where vegetation or fauna are gathering at the bottom, and in areas at the edge of biological barriers.

Most of the fishing grounds are distributed in the sea area with many nutrients, where plankton is abundant and the source of fish bait is abundant, so a large number of fish resources are concentrated. Generally, in the shallow sea range within 200 meters of water depth, especially the estuaries of large rivers, most of them can become excellent bait fishing grounds. The right water temperature and salinity are conducive to the formation of spawning fisheries.

It seems that this place has changed for no reason, and the seaweed resources have quickly become abundant, which has led to the growth of other seafood in the area.

In fact, in the past year, the climate in Tangjia Village has changed significantly. The residents of Tangjia Village have the deepest experience of this. "Wei Hang deliberately steered the direction to other places.

Professor Yu nodded slightly, it is not impossible, the impact of the climate is very complex, and it is difficult for them to analyze all of them at present.

They have long heard about the climate change in Tangjia Village. Over the past few years, the wind and rain have been smooth, there has been no strong wind or heavy rain, and the temperature has maintained a pleasant temperature difference even in summer.

They have also tested that the sun in Tangjia Village is abundant, but the ultraviolet rays are not strong, and everyone goes out to the beach to play, and there is no need to wear any skin creams and the like.

These all reveal a trace of weirdness, but they just can't find the reason.

"There is this possibility, Chu Lao also thinks so. Maybe it has something to do with global warming, and other places will be negatively affected by the El Niño phenomenon, but your Tangjia Village has benefited, who are you talking to?"

El Niño is further divided into El Niño and El Niño events. El Niño is a climatic phenomenon that occurs when the SST in the tropical Pacific Ocean warms abnormally, and the warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean on a large scale will cause changes in the global climate, but this state must be maintained for more than 3 months before it is considered to have a real El Niño event.

When the southeast trade winds blowing near the equator in the southern hemisphere weaken, the cold water flooding in the Pacific region will decrease or stop, resulting in a wide range of abnormal warming of sea water temperature, and anomalies in the traditional equatorial ocean current and atmospheric circulation, resulting in abnormal precipitation in some areas along the Pacific coast, and severe drought in other places.

In short, it seems like something bad.

But here in Tangjia Village, some more abnormal marine phenomena are occurring.

This kind of abnormality is not harmful to Tangjia Village or Fisherman's Bay, it is very strange.

"El Niño, doesn't seem to affect us here?" Wei Hang was stunned.

"It's hard to say, it's theoretically impossible. Chu Lao discussed and studied with us for a long time, thinking that this might be a local and small-scale marine phenomenon. Professor Yu told Wei Hang.

He pointed to a group of manta rays outside that were having fun, and that was good evidence. Manta rays feed on plankton, and they are the most selective and can settle in large groups in Fisherman's Bay, which means that there is an abundance of plankton here.

In addition, the number of dolphins, for example, is several times larger than when he first came here.

"In short, Fisherman's Bay is now a paradise for marine life. We discussed and decided to include the entire Fisherman's Bay as a protected area, and fishing in Fisherman's Bay is strictly prohibited. Professor Yu said again.

However, this would harm the interests of local fishers, especially those who fish inshorely.

Then, it is necessary for Weihang, a big household, to help guide the fishermen to transform, or to follow him to go fishing in the ocean to resolve this contradiction.

Of course, this strict ban on fishing is not absolute. Some fishing practices that do not harm precious marine life cannot be prohibited. A complete ban is not conducive to economic development.

As mentioned earlier, it is necessary to achieve a win-win situation of economic development and environmental protection.

"I should have no opinion in Tangjia Village, a village within a radius of the village, and it is difficult to say anything else. Wei Hang said.

After all, Fisherman's Bay is a large sea area, and Tangjia Village and its surrounding villages are only a small part of Fisherman's Bay. To ban fishing in such a large area of the sea will cause many fishermen to lose their livelihoods, and it needs to be handled carefully.

"So, I still need your help!"

Wei Hang's eyes widened: "What can I do to help? People rely on the sea to eat the sea, I go and tell them, they still don't hate me to death?"
