Chapter 132: Splendid Lobster
Mo Fan took the initiative to end the topic of yachts, and Meng Xi's father's expression looked as if he had bad intentions.
Several small yachts were semi-gifted for the purchase of the Nameless, with Kane booking one from him and James booking one. There are three ships left, and if someone wants it, they will sell it, mainly because the sea monster appeared on the night and risked out to rescue their own personnel, and if no one wants it, they will be thrown to the company, and they will not be idle. Even, Mo Fan is ready to wait until the opening of Xinghai Resort and pack up the yachts at the idle Makatea Island marina......
GTT 115, the world's limited luxury yacht, is very handsome when placed in Xinghai Resort to attract attention. Then there is the 225-meter super luxury yacht officially named 'Xinghai', Xinghai Resort, Xinghai Hotel Group...... This grade has been raised all of a sudden.
It was close to the east island of the atoll, so Mo Fan came to drive it and dropped anchor not far from the beach.
The location of anchoring cannot be selected on the coral reef, one is to destroy the coral reef environment, and the other is to catch it firmly. The best anchor spots are in mud and sand......
"Uncle. Mo Fan pointed into the distance: "There is the Coral Sea over there, and there are a lot of lobsters." The boat was a little smaller, there were no side boats, and we had to swim to the beach and walk over. ”
"No problem. Uncle Zhao loosened his arm and said, "I'm a strong swimmer." ”
Mo Fan went down to the cabin and took three sets of snorkeling equipment, and there were only three sets of snorkeling equipment in the yacht, which were given to Zhao Jiyang, Meng Xi and Meng Xi's mother. Geeyang's mother couldn't swim, so she took a lifebuoy and went to the sea......
The place where the boat was parked was four or five meters deep, twenty or thirty meters from the beach, and it was not too close. The lagoon also has high and low tides, it is high tide now, and the time of low tide is in the afternoon, too close for fear of the yacht running aground.
A beach with no people, and there are leaves and branches on the beach that come with the waves. Close to the lagoon sea, washed by the ebb and flow of the tide, the beach is clean and white and soft.
Mo Fan helped Zhao Jiyang, she was unable to walk in flippers.
"Take it off and put it back on. Mo Fan saw that she was really uncomfortable walking, and said.
"It's not a few steps away, troublesome. ”
Mo Fan was speechless, squatted on the ground and lifted Zhao Jiyang's legs, and helped her take off her flippers: "You are too lazy to be like a pig." ”
"Dad, he said me. Zhao Jiyang puffed up his cheeks and complained.
"Mo Fan is right, you are too lazy to be like a pig. ”
Fine, soft white sand. Meng Xi walked at the back, and suddenly cried out with a 'wow', startling a few people.
"What's wrong. Meng Xi's father hurriedly ran over: "Don't move, don't talk ...... You relax ......."
Mo Fan also ran over.
Meng Xi was caught in the finger by a crab, it is a large claw crab, the scientific name is 'splendid trapezoidal crab'. This crab has dense red dots on its body, and its claws are particularly large, almost the same weight as the crab body.
Meng Xi was caught by this crab.
The corners of Mo Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and after passing over, he forcibly broke the crab claws: "You are so lucky." ”
The splendid trapezoidal crab is a small crab, but this crab is particularly large, larger than xiao long bao. It seems that its crab claws are bigger and scary.
Meng Xi sobbed in pain: "You're lucky, come over and let it clip it." Meng Xi's little finger was clamped, and there were two traces of cyan.
"I'm serious. This kind of crab is rare, you look at its appearance, cute and cute, and the thief is expensive. Mo Fan said and put the crab on the beach, and the little guy slipped back into the sea.
"Why don't you let it go? Didn't you say it's expensive?"
"It is expensive to live, but it is worthless to die. The growth environment of this crab is harsh, and the vitality is not strong, and it wants to bring back trouble alive. By the way, it's also a protected species. Mo Fan looked at Meng Xi's fingers: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days." ”
"I was depressed. Meng Xi just walked and saw a small hole in the sand, thinking it was a shell, how could he dig out a crab.
A small episode, everyone laughed and walked towards the end of the beach.
There are also many crabs on the island, mainly hermit crabs, coconut crabs, island mud crabs, and so on. Island mud crabs are just as delicious as coconut crabs and live near several low-lying muddy areas on the Big Island. There are very few splendid trapezoidal crabs, and it is the first time Mo Fan has seen them here.
Zhao Jiyang was wearing a swimming dress, and when she was about to reach the end of the beach, she threw her snorkeling gear to Mo Fan, jumping as she walked.
"What are you doing?"
"Warm up. ”
"To warm up, you have to stretch your muscles. It's useless to bounce...... Stretch the leg muscles first, that's ......" Mo Fan gave Zhao Jiyang a demonstration.
Geeyang's father and mother held hands, looked back at each other and smiled.
The large island, inhabited by only a dozen people, is nearly 17 kilometers long and between 300 and 400 meters wide, and is planted with coconut palms.
There is no one in this area.
After demonstrating the warm-up exercise before swimming to Zhao Jiyang, Mo Fan ran to the coconut grove to pick a bunch of coconut fruits and came back, and opened a few with a knife specially opened coconut fruits: "The coconut fruits in the morning are the most delicious, refreshing and delicious." Uncle, aunt, you taste it. ”
"It's spectacular. How many acres of coconut groves are there in this atoll?" asked Geeyang's father.
"More than sixty or seventy percent coconut groves. More than a dozen square kilometers. Mo Fan said.
Zhao Jiyang hugged the coconut fruit and drank: "Dad, Mom, you don't know, we interns at the company's headquarters come out to pick coconut fruits three days a week, and we are tired." More than a dozen ships are shipped out every day. ”
"It's hard work. I think your dad just joined the work meeting, and he had to carry more than ten or twenty tons of things in the port every day. Really, life is so good, I don't know what is hard. ”
Zhao Jiyang made a strange face, picked up the coconut and drank coconut water, and pulled Meng Xi to do warm-up exercises.
Mo Fan moved briefly, picked up the fish basket and ran into the water, swam to the coral reef not far away, and began to catch lobsters.
Splendid lobster is the largest lobster in the genus, with a wide distribution, and is the world's most valuable economic shrimp. In China, the farmed large splendid lobster can buy hundreds of yuan a catty. Tahiti's splendid lobsters are also not cheap, they are all wild lobsters, which are troublesome to catch.
Tahiti is very protective of the marine environment, and one of the regulations is a ban on commercial fishing within 10 kilometers of the islands, including netting and basketing. The same is true in the Tuamotu Islands, where fishing in the offshore waters can only be done in primitive ways, using hooks or spearfishing.
The lobster is nocturnal and hides in the cave during the day, revealing only two pairs of antennae and a head to feel the movement outside the cave. There are many fishermen in the former Khao Atoll, and they catch the most seafood in the western archipelago, and the water is the best, and five or six splendid lobsters are caught a day.
This area is so far from the village, 25 kilometers away, and a coral reef sanctuary that was not visited before that the splendid lobsters here are particularly large.
Mo Fan had telekinesis, so he didn't have to find lobsters, and dived near the coral reef to see where there were lobsters.
By the time Jiyang's father swam over, Mo Fan had caught three, all of which were lobsters over 30 centimeters in length.
"Good guys, this thing doesn't come cheap. Geeyang's father took the fish basket and gestured to the sea to the live lobster, and said.
"I forgot to bring a lasso pole for lobsters. There are bigger ones down there, hiding in the rocks. ”
The splendid lobster over 30 centimeters weighs about 2 kilograms. For such lobsters, the purchase price of the hotel is more than 500 yuan per kilogram, and the larger the splendid lobster, the more expensive. If it exceeds 3.5 kilograms, the price per kilogram can reach more than 1,500 yuan. But usually, fishermen catch splendid lobsters between 1 and 1.5 kilograms.
