Chapter 760: Planting Seaweed and Tough Mapping Work
I didn't know if I was shocked when I checked it, but I didn't expect this sargassum to have so many uses, and it has great economic value, from edible, medicinal, cosmetics to various industrial uses, its role simply covers all aspects of people's lives.
What's more, it can also improve the marine environment, purify some organic pollutants in seawater, produce oxygen, and provide food for fish...... Once the seaweed grows in the waters around San Jose Island, it is believed that the marine environment will recover quickly.
First of all, some herbivorous fish and other marine organisms will be attracted by a large amount of seaweed, and then predatory fish will be attracted to these herbivorous fish, and the fish feces will provide fertilizer for the seaweed, and will breed more microorganisms, which will attract a lot of plankton and microorganisms to feed on various marine organisms, and will also promote the growth of coral reefs......
This is a virtuous cycle of development, and over time, the waters around San Jose Island will become a beautiful and colorful underwater world, where a variety of marine life will live freely, from lush underwater plants to beautiful and colorful small fish, shellfish, corals, and ......
It will become a holiday destination that everyone yearns for, and it will be a paradise for many diving enthusiasts......
"Tsk, this picture is so beautiful, I can't imagine it......" Unconsciously YY for a long time, the beautiful picture that appeared in his mind simply made Jin Yang immersed in it and reluctant to come out, and after a while, until he came back to his senses and saw that there was still some black sea water in front of him, he was stunned and sighed helplessly, "Okay, sure enough, the reality is more cruel, I'd better think about how to grow the seaweed first." ”
Although the current water quality of the sea area of San Jose Island has been greatly improved due to Jinyang's unremitting injection of space spring water into it, it is still a drop in the bucket in the face of the huge seawater base in the entire sea area...... It's really too polluted before.
Therefore, the seaweed discovered before is an accidental event for the entire sea area of San Jose Island, and if you want to realize Jinyang's idea just now, daydreaming for a lifetime is not as good as sprinkling a seed with your own hands.
However, seaweed is different from ordinary plants on land, and it is not something you can grow if you want to, and Jinyang, who also knows nothing about the reproduction and artificial cultivation of seaweed, has to turn to the Internet again.
Fortunately, an encyclopedia is really powerful, and soon Jinyang found the information he wanted.
Algae are different from many other plants, they almost do not reproduce through flowers, fruits, seeds and other structures, for them, what suits them is the best, and the reproduction of algae is often related to their growth environment and survival needs.
In asexual reproduction, some cells can be split into two, such as sponges, which can be broken into several segments, each of which grows into an independent individual.
Some algae can produce many flagellar spores, which can swim freely, and each spore grows into a new individual after maturity, and when the environment is bad, some algae can produce thick-walled dormant spores, and when the environment is suitable, they will sprout and grow into new individuals.
In terms of sexual reproduction, some algae can produce male and female gametes, which can be mated before they grow into new individuals.
During the life of seaweed, asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction often alternate regularly, forming a complex life history.
"Hey, I didn't expect that seaweed and kelp still have two different growth states, sporophyte and gametophyte, sporophyte reproduction produces spores, and gametophyte produces female and male gametophytes for sexual reproduction...... Uh, this family relationship is a bit messy!"
"Artificial cultivation seems to be quite complicated, and it is also divided into macroalgae farming and single-celled algae farming, how do I know which is macroalgae and which is single-celled algae?"
"What the hell is natural seedling multiplication, semi-artificial seedling cultivation and full artificial seedling breeding? Seaweed can also be like growing vegetables?"
"What about artificial supplementation of light and culture medium? Even if carbon dioxide is supplemented or air is introduced, it is especially necessary to shake it frequently to facilitate the growth and reproduction of algae...... I'm going to plant it right in the sea, and who has the ability to spend all day at the bottom of the ocean waiting on these guys?"
......
After looking for information for a long time, Jinyang not only didn't understand what seaweed cultivation was all about, but he was confused, and felt more confused than before, "Damn, I'm really not suitable for reading textual information, forget it, I'd better be direct, it's a headache to make it so troublesome." ”
A more direct way is, of course, a lazy person can do it, Jinyang plans to directly buy some seaweed spores or seedlings and the like, and do not engage in any complex fixed, semi-floating, fully floating attachment substrate, just throw it into the sea and forget it, and finally put more space spring water as a culture liquid, whether it can survive depends on God's will.
Otherwise, if you have to worry about these things all day long, what else can you do?
Just when Jinyang was about to leave the beach and turn around the Elephant Trunk Cliff, Wei Hua and Eperel had already climbed the Elephant Trunk Cliff three times, starting from the lowest difficulty teaching route from low to high, almost every place rose and fell, every rock, every small grass and tree were recorded in a small notebook.
"Epel, hey, look this way, this stone is an important focus point on this route, you see its shape is a bit like a kitten lying on its stomach, remember to draw it like a little ......" Wei Hua turned a blind eye to the beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, but stared at a small cat-shaped protruding stone not far away, firmly grasping the safety rope tied to his waist in his hand, and at the same time trying to get close to this somewhat cute stone with his feet.
Eperel grabbed the safety rope with one hand, and the whole person hung directly in the air, the thick green tendons on his arms were like twisted snakes, the sweat flowing on his face became a stream, and the other hand held a black notebook and pen.
The two of them are now working together with each other, Wei Hua is in charge of observing and testing, trying to find every point on the route through his own eyes, and then report it to Eper, who is in charge of the record.
Both of them are tied with thick and strong safety ropes, which not only makes it easier to climb and less effort, but also frees up their hands to draw pictures, otherwise they would not be able to remember every stone on each route with their brains alone.
Who is sure that the kitten that has just passed by will not turn into a puppy directly in the next second?
