390.South of the Sea (5)

Most of the archipelago is surrounded by large reefs, and the surrounding water is shallow and clear, creating an excellent environment for shallow reef fish to grow, and these places are beautiful, shallow and green, just like the sea area around the first island they saw before.

Further out, the depth of the outer reef increases dramatically, and the change is clearly noticeable from above, with the reef with green water and the outer sea blue.

The blue sea area is a deep-water environment, suitable for the life of oceanic fish, and many economic fish species live in these places, such as moray eels, snappers, alfonsino and fins, as well as mackerel, swordfish, flying fish, etc.

The reef area is beautiful, there are many and beautiful fish, and most of these fish are colorful and green, and they swim in the water very freely.

They are the most nourishing indigenous people living in the Nansha waters, where the water is clear, the water is good, the food is abundant, the habitat is very good, and most importantly, no one catches them.

These fish are beautiful and beautiful, but they are not tasty, the fish are not much and not delicious, and the fish are often very small and have little catch value.

The Dragon's Head stopped at the reef, and the crew was busy preparing to sail around the island to catch the fish in the deep sea.

Ao Muyang stood at the bow of the boat, watching the sea and islands attentively, and raised his camera from time to time to take a few photos.

Because there are few people visiting, the scenery here remains untouched, and every photo is a desktop landscape.

Ao Daodao strode over and said, "Dragon, instruct the Internet café." ”

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll take a look at the scenery first." ”

Ao Daodao was very puzzled: "What's so beautiful about this? It's the sea, the island, and at most some trees, what's the point of seeing it?"

Ao Muyang said with a smile: "Look twice more when you can, and these islands will sink into the sea in the future." ”

Ao Mubing, who was passing by, said: "I know this, the warming effect, the melting of Antarctic glaciers, the rise of global sea levels, it is said that those islands in the Maldives will be submerged in a few decades." ”

Ao Muyang shook his head: "It's not just this, these islands in the South China Sea are sinking." ”

Ao Daoguo also shook his head: "Impossible, I used to watch TV introductions, the islands here in the South China Sea are all made of sediment, according to their altitude, they have been rising miles, and they can rise by one centimeter every year." ”

Ao Muyang said: "When did you see this? This view has long been eliminated, and the current scientific research results show that the island here is subsidence, and as the age of the island grows from old to new, the rate of subsidence is getting faster and faster. In particular, the coral reef platform in Xisha has a large base and a small top surface, and the whole is a pagoda type, which is called a flooded reef ......"

A few people looked confused: "What do you mean? These islands will disappear?"

Ao Muyang nodded solemnly: "Yes, the sea level will rise, and the sediments that make up these islands will gradually dissolve by the seawater, and the area of the islands will gradually shrink, and it will never increase again." ”

"That's the end of the calf," said Ao Dao dejectedly, "how can this be, when will these islands disappear? Just like the Maldives, fifty years from now?"

Ao Mubing said: "Uncle Daguo, you think really long-term, like I don't care, I don't even have a daughter-in-law, let alone a son, how can I have a grandson?"

Ao Mudong said: "I'm different from you, I have a group of grandchildren. ”

"Where did you get your grandson?"

"The people in Wangjia Village, all of them are my grandsons. ”

A group of people burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

Ao Dao was still frowning, and he asked, "Longtou, how long will it take for the island here to disappear?"

Ao Muyang said: "I can't say clearly, anyway, the island will settle twelve centimeters every thousand years......

"12 centimeters in a thousand years?!1,000 years?!"

"That's right. ”

Ao Daodao knew that he was being ridiculed by Ao Muyang, and his face was suddenly full of helplessness: "Forget the dragon, I still don't think about it so much, let's honestly consider the current situation, as for what is the millennium plan, let the party bother with it." ”

In the morning, the tide rises, although it does not rise much, but the high tide brings changes in the sediment on the seabed, and the fish, shrimp and crabs have more food, and they begin to go out in groups to hunt.

This is a good time to go to the net, Ao Qianwen led people to put down a small boat, hung the external string machine in the back, and as the machine whined and roared, the boat became full of power.

Ao Muyang got on the boat, he was going to the sea to look for catch, and then instructed everyone to go to the net.

The fishing grounds around the islands in the South China Sea are rich in aquatic resources, and most of them are recorded, and fishermen only need to follow the map.

Ao Muyang read the introduction of the navigation chart, the fish in this sea area are brown plum bream, red trevally, spotted and tuna, shellfish are black hoofed snails, clams, reptiles are turtles, hawksbill turtles.

Of course, reptiles are not allowed to be fished, and they target fish and echinoderms, also known as sea cucumbers, which grow faster and more abundantly than the sea cucumbers in the northern seas due to the high water temperatures in the South Sea.

The boat drove out, and Ao Muyang jumped into the water, absorbing ocean moisture to condense Jindan, while checking the fish situation in the surrounding waters.

As soon as he entered the water, the tiger swam up and looked around.

Ao Muyang wondered, is there danger in this sea? For the tiger to put on such a defensive posture, it shows that the danger in the water is quite large.

This is very likely, there are many sharks in the South China Sea, he has to be careful, he can't capsize in the gutter, this is not the sea he is familiar with after all.

As a result, with a wary mind, he followed the tiger's gaze and saw nothing like sharks, only a small pod of porpoises frolicking in the water......

Needless to say, this is the group of dolphins that fought with the tiger before, Ao Muyang gave them gold drops to appease them and solve this conflict, he hoped that the dolphins would leave safely, but he didn't expect them to leave, but chased the fishing boat here.

Or, instead of chasing a fishing boat, they are chasing a tiger.

The porpoises are not afraid of tigers at all, and after Ao Muyang entered the water, they immediately swam over flexibly, pushing Ao Muyang with their round heads and signature thick lips, wanting to play with him.

The tiger watched coldly: a group of bewitching jian goods, little three!

But the dolphins are all cute and cute, and Ao Muyang thinks it's fun to play with them in the water......

He rode on a dolphin, which was smooth and difficult to attach to, but the dolphins were very cooperative with his ride, and when he stepped on it, they would slow down their swimming speed to allow him to better balance.

This scene made the tiger angry: What's the matter, the junior is on top?
