Chapter 613: Worship the Wind Pig

The car drove to a stop in front of a building, and Director Lu swiped the access control and led the three people into the room.

Inside was a large circular pool, the water in which the water was clear, and there were three gray tiles swimming happily in it.

Swimming closer, Li Junge found that this thing resembled a dolphin, but the body was small, there was no sharp snout, and the head appeared short, almost round.

The forehead is slightly protruding forward, the upper and lower jaws are almost the same length, and the eyes are small and inconspicuous.

A small one swam to Li Junge's side, straightened up, and opened its mouth curiously to look at the visitor.

This exposed the teeth, short and small, and the left and right sides were flattened in the shape of a spade.

The body of the little thing is round, the middle of the body is the thickest, there is no dorsal fin, and the tip of the triangular huge fin has five finger marks left over from evolution.

The large tail is divided into two leaves, left and right, in a horizontal shape, and it is slightly swaying under the water to support its head to expose the water.

The two big men also swam around, their heads little by little, as if they wanted to take the baby away from a few people.

He Miao was shocked: "Worship the wind pig!"

Li Junge was also surprised: "Ouch! It turns out that the finless porpoise is a pig worshipping the wind? How many times have I heard the elders say it, but it can be regarded as seeing a living ......?"

Before the words fell, the little thing squirted out a mouthful of water, spraying directly on Li Junge's face, and a lot of it was sprayed in his mouth.

"Bah, bah, ......" is sad now.

Li Junge hurriedly took out a bottle of mineral water and rinsed his mouth, and the little finless porpoise let out a short birdsong sound, as if giggling at the success of his prank. Then the three finless porpoises turned around and slipped away.

Director Lu didn't care about Li Junge, and said to He Miao: "What's the matter? You also have finless porpoises there?

He Miao said: "We really haven't seen it, but I've heard the old man say that we had wind worshippers and pigs there, as well as elephant fish, water monkeys, red fish, ......."

Li Junge cleaned up and waved his fist at the finless porpoise swimming happily in the distance, and then said to Director Lu: "Director Lu, our elders there said that there was a kind of mythical beast in the Wuxi River in the past, like a fish is not a fish, it can stand upright in the water and worship, and then it will be windy, fat, bare, gray and gray in color, called the wind worship pig, also called the river pig." ”

Director Lu was surprised: "We know that if there is about to be a windy day, the finless porpoise's breathing rate will increase, and the surface of the water will be very high, and most of its heads will face the direction of the wind. ”

"Research suggests that this may be due to the low air pressure before the weather changes, forcing it to increase its breathing rate in order to get enough oxygen. It seems that your fathers have actually seen them. ”

After speaking, he was sad: "We used to think that the finless porpoise could only be traced up to Yichang, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake in the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, its previous habitat could even cover the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Alas, it's a pity that there are only one or two thousand left, cramped in a few protected areas, and even in these protected areas, ships come and go......"

"The main threat to the finless porpoise is due to the impact of human activities. ”

"The high-density, busy shipping of the main stream of the Yangtze River is one of the noise of ships and propellers. ”

"Indiscriminate fishing in the Great Lakes region, the extensive use of illegal fishing gear, water pollution, and the intensification of the construction of water conservancy facilities are second. ”

"These two threats have led to a sharp decline in the wild population of the Yangtze finless porpoise, which is now rarer than the giant panda and is now listed as critically endangered. ”

"These three finless porpoises were probably disturbed by the sound of propellers and were trapped in a shallow water, and the fishermen found them and reported to us, so they were rescued here, and we will release them back into the Yangtze River after we have checked them, but who knows how long they will survive?"

After speaking, he smiled and said, "Anyway, how is our treasure of the town better than your Jiluo fish?"

Li Junge gave a thumbs up: "You cows!"

Director Lu said: "Now they also have a deep fear of humans, the three finless porpoises will no longer eat after coming here, we originally said that they will be released after their physical strength recovers, but now it seems that only in advance, the small one is actually very weak, just put it back, whether it is dead or alive can only depend on the will of God." ”

Li Junge's heart suddenly moved: "Why don't I try it?"

Director Lu was surprised: "You?"

Li Junge said: "Yes, you look at their performance just now, do you have a jealousy of me?"

Director Lu was suddenly shocked: "That's right! I was shocked when I heard from you just now that there were finless porpoises in Manzhou, but now I think about it, they don't seem to be the same to you! Then try it quickly!"

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called: "Xiao Wang, come over with a bucket of white sticks!"

Hanging up the phone, Director Lu said: "In fact, there is a huge threat to the finless porpoise, which is hunger. In the 60s of the last century, from Chongqing to Jiangxi Province, there were 36 spawning grounds in a 2,000-kilometer section of the river, and there were 100 billion fish fry every year!"

"At that time, wherever there were any fisheries research institutes to breed fish fry, they were all directly fished from these spawning grounds, and the number of fish fry caught in Hubei Province alone was 20 billion a year.

After speaking, Director Lu continued to be indignant: "The role of natural reproduction is irreplaceable by artificial multiplication, and now the germplasm resources of the four major fish are degrading across the country. ”

"The study found that in the absence of natural selection, farmed broodstock will degrade after several generations, so to restore and maintain good germplasm resources, it is necessary to reproduce naturally and maintain a dynamic and stable reasonable population in nature to solve the problem. ”

Li Junge hurriedly cleared up: "Director Lu, although I am engaged in fishing activities in Lijiagou, I also like fishing, but our Lijiagou environment and ecology are well maintained, and the number of releases we release every year far exceeds the number we get, and we don't carry this pot......

Director Lu was amused again: "I admire the villagers of Lijiagou, I came back and said, everyone said that such a place is too rare, and the villagers can spontaneously protect the ecological environment, and it is incredible to put it in other places." ”

Li Junge smiled: "Hehe...... In fact, it is troublesome to ship it out and sell it, and you can't eat it at home, so it must point to the big one...... And then I like to eat alone in a group, and there are people outside who dare to come to the electric poison bombing net, and when they come, they leave their clothes behind, and go back with their bare buttocks......"

Director Lu smiled and leaned back: "It's just a group of lawless Diao people! It's just that this landscape has protected your ancestors by a group of Diao people!"

At this time, Xiao Wang rushed over with a bucket of white strips: "Director, here, what are you doing?"

Director Lu said: "This is someone from Lijiagou, you will give them white strips to see if the finless porpoise will eat." ”

As soon as Xiao Wang opened his mouth and said "ah", the bucket was picked up by Li Junge.

Carrying the bucket for a few steps, he flipped the white strips inside with his hands as he walked, as if he was checking the quality of the fish, and when he came to the pool, he had replaced some of the white strips in the bucket with spatial white strips.

Now Li Junge's technique of playing this hand is too proficient, and outsiders can't see his cattiness at all.

Squatting down and shaking the hand of the fish in the pool, the little one turned over and began to swim in this direction.

Its parents hurriedly blocked it, but the little guy was extremely persistent, and he didn't stop it even if he didn't pay attention, and slipped directly from the bottom of the pool, revealing his head in Li Junge's hand.

The finless porpoise's behavior is very obvious, and it is a very interesting phenomenon that it often carries and carries its young.

However, if the cubs are unfortunately caught, the mother will follow the boat because she can't bear to abandon them, so she is often arrested at the same time.

The mother, too, immediately swam along, only the male was still anxiously paddling in the distance.

When the mother dolphin came to the child's side, she seemed to be quiet, and the breath on Li Junge's body made it feel very kind.

Li Junge took out a small fish from the bucket and threw it into the mouth of the little thing.

The little thing swallowed it without hesitation.

Then things were easy to do, and after Li Junge took turns feeding the two finless porpoises and a few small fish, the male dolphin finally couldn't help but swim over.

Xiao Wang was dumbfounded, but Director Lu looked relieved and said in a low voice: "Erpi, it's just amazing." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "This is really not my blowing, there are a bunch of pets at home, all of them can't walk when they meet me......"

Director Lu said: "I just said that you were fat and gasped, I don't believe it, let me try! Maybe the fry was chosen correctly this time." ”

Li Junge picked a fat one for her: "Come, the fattest one is for you, try it." ”

As a result, the finless porpoise touched the fish in Director Lu's hand with a kiss, and went back to eat what Li Junge had in his hand.

Angry, Director Lu threw the fish into the bucket: "A bunch of ungrateful things!"

Li Junge laughed, there is still a slight difference between the fish fry in this pond and the one in the space lake, they grow fatter, and the one he gave to Director Lu was brought by Xiao Wang just now.

When Li Junge picked up the space fish and fed it, the three finless porpoises became more intimate with Li Junge, and then fed the fry from their research institute, and they also ate happily.

After rubbing a few handfuls on each finless porpoise, Li Junge stood up: "It's so cute, it's just cute, Director Lu, or I'll feed it in the next few days." ”

Director Lu rolled his eyes: "It's only you who came, and none of us could make them speak for a few days, you also saw the situation just now, let's go, I'm really happy today, I'll take you to see our director." ”

After getting into the car and driving for a while, I came to a research building, and Director Lu took the three of them to the director's office.

The director is an old man of medium height, surnamed Meng.

When he saw Li Junge, he shook hands: "Thank you for your support of our work, the quality of the Chinese barbed catfish and white armor brought back by Xiao Lu this time is really rare in major fishing grounds in China, and I don't charge a penny, so thank you so much." I heard that you are here to learn the breeding techniques of military fish and white fish?"

A few people sat down to talk, and Li Junge said: "Director Meng, we must learn the breeding techniques of military fish and white fish, and we will learn them here, but we don't want to let ......go of other Yangtze River fish breeding techniques."

After speaking, he took out the mobile hard drive: "Take it back to study." ”

Director Meng smiled at it: "I just said that Xiao Lu, who is engaged in scientific research this time, is more powerful than a businessman, so he is waiting for us here!"
