Chapter 758: Sargassum and Small Silverfish
"Seaweed" is a general term for marine algae such as kelp, seaweed, wakame, and cauliflower, which are algae that grow in the sea and are cryptofloral plants in the plant kingdom, and algae include several different types of organisms that produce energy through photosynthesis.
Usually they grow in the shallow sea area below the low tide line - where the sea meets the land, where the impact of the waves is relatively gentle, the sea water is rich in minerals, plus the sun is abundant, whether it is red algae or brown algae, although the color is different, they all contain chlorophyll, which can use sunlight for photosynthesis and make food, and they photosynthesize, and the oxygen released is indispensable for animals to breathe.
The reason why the marine world is so colorful and lively is due to the seaweed.
Now that seaweed has been found in this small area of the sea, it is not difficult to explain why there are fish here, and of course fish will patronize it when there is food.
Well, even though it's just a small silverfish with only about one finger, the meaning of this is completely different.
There is already life here, and there will be more creatures living here in the future!
Common brown algae include macroalgae, sargassum and fucus spp., and some species of macroalgae and hymus in the Pacific and Antarctic regions, the world's largest algae, can reach up to 33 meters long, which is almost as tall as a dozen storeys.
The handful that appears here is one of the most common seaweeds in the Gulf of Mexico, sargassum, which resembles a horsetail and is a large, free-floating mass, hence the name.
Probably due to oil pollution and other influences, this small clump of sargassum does not look very good at the moment, and the original green leaves now look a little yellow, and it is lying listlessly on a pale red coral reef that also looks like it is about to die.
The little silverfish was so frightened that he hurriedly prepared to run away the moment Jinyang rushed over, but the rabbit couldn't outrun the eagle, and before it could completely emerge from the sargassum, it was gently held by a big hand.
It's a pity that the little silverfish can't speak, and he can't scream, otherwise it would have protested strongly...... You bad silver, hurry up and let go of this fish!
This little fish was quite energetic, not at all like the clump of diseased sargassum algae, which kept fluttering in Jinyang's hands and wanted to struggle out, but its resistance did not last long, and it was conquered and bought by a sudden burst of sweet spring water.
"Hey, you can't run anymore? Sample, if you have the ability, you can continue to run? Seeing the little silverfish happily swinging its little tail in front of him and gulping down the space spring water, Jin Yang teased it a few times, and then put all his attention on the sargassum on the side with great interest.
Sargassum, belonging to the Sargassum family, is commonly found in Artemisia annua, sea millet, Salon algae, Creeping Sargassum, etc., which is usually an important industrial raw material for extracting algin, and there are also some species that can be eaten by humans and animals, which is a very useful seaweed species.
Jin Yang is not a botanist, he can't name many plants on land, and he doesn't know anything about the plants in the ocean, and he doesn't know the name of the seaweed in front of him, but this does not prevent him from being very interested in this small clump of sargassum in front of him.
Anyway, he went to school for a few days, although he didn't know what the name of this seaweed was, but he still had the most basic biological knowledge.
Seaweed can almost be called the oxygen supply station in the ocean, almost most of the oxygen in the seawater is provided by a variety of seaweeds, this is the green forest in the ocean, the Amazon in the ocean, and the lungs of the ocean.
Where seaweed is present, there is usually more oxygen in the seawater, which provides a good living space for many fish and marine animals.
Seaweed is also an important food source, and many marine organisms, including many shrimps, fish, and many other species of marine life, feed on seaweed, and wherever there is seaweed, there will be traces of this seaweed-feeding marine life.
Although only a small clump of half-dead sargassum has been found here in Jinyang, and there is no mention of the cluster effect caused by the growth of large areas of algae, this is a good start, since there is a clump of sargassum that can grow here, then more sargassum can also survive in this sea area.
It doesn't seem too polluted here!
"Well, I have to save this poor clump of seaweed, and after rescuing it, I need to let it multiply more seaweed, so that the multitude of seaweed will gather together to attract more fish that feed on seaweed, otherwise this sea will never attract any fish without food. After studying for a while to no avail, Jin Yang quickly made up his mind.
Regardless of how this small clump of seaweed came from, it is of great significance to this sea, and it represents the infinite possibilities of life.
After making up his mind, Jin Yang injected more space spring water around the seaweed, so that the space spring water could replace the polluted seawater around it, hoping that this small clump of seaweed could survive with the help of the power of the space spring.
It should have felt the existence of the space spring, and the sargassum that was already sick and about to die slowly began to swing with the flow of the space spring, with some withered yellow leaves on its body, up and down like a small yellow-green wave, which looked quite beautiful.
The miraculous spring water is like the source of life, exuding an invisible breath of life, moistening the dying sargassum little by little, for a minute, two minutes...... Soon, this small clump of sargassum was rejuvenated by the spatial spring, swaying from side to side with the ups and downs of the waves, as if celebrating its own rebirth.
The whole body of the newly-born sargassum exudes amazing vitality, the tiny leaves have completely turned into emerald green, and the tiny branches have drawn out the slightest shoots, looking like a small primeval forest up close.
The little whitebait happily shuttled freely in this small "primeval forest", the little tail swayed left and right to play with the water, and in the dense small primeval forest, it was familiar as if it was at home, as if it had not even touched a leaf.
"Click, click. "If the little whitebait can make a sound in the seawater, or whose ears are sharp enough, you should be able to hear the sound of the little silverfish nibbling on sargassum, and the little guy is swimming quickly in it, and he will not forget to nibble on it again and again to satisfy his appetite.
It looks very excited, well, it probably has a lot to do with the fact that it hasn't had enough food since birth, and who said that the previous sargassum was half-dead?
