Under Qin Xu's violent pull, a sea fish with a body length of about 50 centimeters, but a width of more than 80 centimeters, was pulled onto the deck of the fishing boat by him.

Before Qin Xu could take a closer look at his gains, Will on the side let out an exclamation.

"Oh my God, boss, how did you catch it, let's release it. ”

Qin Xu glanced at him suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?" Will, what kind of fish is this?"

Will did not answer him, but cautiously approached the side of the ship, and looked at the calm sea, as if looking for something.

At this time, the other people also saw that something was wrong, and they all gathered around, Wang Ming looked at the silver-white fish on the ground, as if it was like a kite, and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shaking his head, Qin Xu looked at Will, who was still looking around, and said a little confused: "I don't know, Will was very surprised when he saw this fish." ”

"This, it looks like a manta ray, right?"

Xu Mengyao looked at the motionless sea fish on the deck and said uncertainly.

"Manta rays? What's that?"

Qin Xu was even more puzzled, hadn't you heard of this kind of fish?

At this time, Will walked back from the side of the ship, his expression relaxed slightly, and looked at Qin Xu's words:

"Boss, this is the manta ray, also known as the manta ray and the blanket ray, is a very terrifying sea fish, although it is not aggressive in itself, but when disturbed, it is powerful enough to wreck a small boat.

Manta rays also have strange habits. It has a lively temperament and often plays pranks. Sometimes it deliberately dives to the bottom of a small boat sailing in the sea, and beats the bottom of the boat with its body wings, making a "whirring, popping" sound, which makes the people on board panic;

Sometimes it runs to the boat that is moored in the middle of the sea, and hangs the horn of flesh on the anchor chain of the boat, and pulls up the little iron anchor, so that people are overwhelmed;

Or maybe it hangs itself on the anchor chain of the boat with its head fins, and drags the boat around the sea so fast that the fishermen mistakenly think that it is the "devil" who is actually playing a prank on the manta ray.

Moreover, its size and strength often frightened the fishermen, because if it was angry, it would break a person's bones and kill them with a single flap of its powerful "wings". ”

Speaking of this, Will also sighed deeply, his eyes looked deep and empty, as if he remembered something bad.

Qin Xu heard it inexplicably. Pointing to the silver-white sea fish on the deck that was no more than a meter long and weighed at most hundreds of catties, he asked with a smile:

"Will, you're not talking about it, are you? Can a fish of this size wreck a boat? Can it break a man's bones? Are you kidding?"

Will shook his head and didn't say anything, but Xu Mengyao next to him answered:

"Qin Xu, every time Mr. Will is wrong, I remember that I seem to have heard someone introduce it, this manta ray can grow to more than eight meters in length, and it can weigh 5,000 kilograms, and at that time it can jump out of the sea and glide on the surface of the sea, think about it, what kind of concept is that. ”

"What? eight, eight meters, five thousand kilograms?"

Looking at Xu Mengyao with his mouth wide open, Qin Xu stammered a little and repeated again.

Nodding, Xu Mengyao said affirmatively: "That's right, adult manta rays can grow to seven or eight meters, and they weigh as much as four or five thousand tons. ”

"And what about this one? It can't be a juvenile, right?"

Qin Xu pointed to the wriggling manta rays on the nail plate again, and asked with a dry throat.

"Yes, Boss, this is a juvenile manta ray, and usually a juvenile manta ray will be accompanied by an old manta ray, and they value their children very much. So, let's hurry up and change places. ”

Will woke up from his memories, looked at Qin Xu, and said with a solemn face.

As far as he knew, female manta rays were very protective of their only child. It is not like other fish, it has tens of thousands of eggs at a time, like a sunfish, it can be said to be a high-yield hand among fish, and it can reach 300 million eggs at a time.

Female manta rays do not lay eggs, they are ovoviviparous, which is a rare occurrence among fish. It only gives birth to one child at a time, so it's no wonder that it wants to pamper its only child.

"Then hurry up, change, you hurry up. ”

Qin Xu was almost choked to death by this guy, knowing that you are still in the ink here, you are still in danger, hurry up and go to the boat. If this is found by the fish father, or the fish mother, or the fish father and the fish mother come to the door together, and give yourself such a moment, then you will have to be crippled if you don't die.

With a promise, Will hurried to the cab and shouted, "Simon, hurry up and set off immediately." ”

Simon, who was bragging and farting with the fishermen, was a little stunned, didn't he just drop anchor? Why are you leaving?

"Go, the boss has caught a juvenile 'manta ray', to be on the safe side, hurry up and change places. ”

Seeing that Simon was still there, stunned. Will yelled at him again.

Now Simon understood, and he was also frightened, what kind of luck is this boss, it's okay like this?

He knows that the 'manta ray' is a gentle sea fish, but once it comes to offspring, it will immediately turn into a 'devil'.

Greeted the two fishermen who were in a daze next to them, and Simon and the others hurriedly began to anchor.

On the other side, Qin Xu and the others put away their fishing gear, and then formed a small circle, enclosing the poor little manta ray in it. looked at the famous 'little devil of the sea' in front of him in a daze.

The silvery-white 'manta ray' in front of him has a diamond-shaped body, a wide and flat head, and a wide and flat snout. The pectoral fins are large and thick, like wings.

The anterior part of the head, a pair of protruding head fins differentiated from the pectoral fins, is located on either side of the head. The mouth is wide and large, and the small teeth are thin and numerous, and they are arranged in a stone-like manner, which makes people can't help but feel chills at the bottom of their hearts.

The upper and lower jaws have tooth bands, the nostrils are located on either side of the front of the mouth, a small triangular hole behind the eyes, and a long, slender whip-like tail dragged behind it.

Looking at the cool-looking manta ray in front of him, like a future fighter in a science fiction movie, Qin Xu couldn't help but be curious, and stepped forward to see if it was dead.

"What are you doing?"

grabbed this reckless guy, Xu Mengyao asked helplessly.

"Well, I'll see if it's dead. What's wrong?"

Qin Xu, who was held by Xu Mengyao, looked at her with some confusion and asked.

"You, it's poisonous on its tail, you're going to go up like this, what if you get stung?"

Pointing to the small tail of the little manta fish in front of her, Xu Mengyao explained helplessly, and at the same time felt a little funny in her heart, at this level, you still want to be a good fisherman?

Touching his nose, Qin Xu was a little embarrassed by Xu Mengyao, and he was wronged in his heart, how did I know that it was still poisonous? Although Lao Tzu is a biology major, he is not a marine biology professional.
