Chapter 291: Killer Whale
Squid, also known as spear squid, belongs to the squid family and likes to live around the continental shelf in shallow waters, floating in groups in the sea, chasing small fish and shrimp.
They have more than a dozen tentacles, two of which are relatively long, and have suction cups at the front of the tentacles, with tooth rings inside the suckers, which are wrapped around the tentacles to feed on food.
Now this squid uses the fake bait as food, and lets Han Xuan pull it open with all his might, and he will not let go.
Logan stopped the squid fishing machine and watched the boy fight the squid with a wicked smile, and Pooh finally waited for the food to come to the door, leaned over and sniffed, and turned around when he didn't like it.
Xiong Ye now only eats cooked food and fruits, and his living standard goes straight to the well-off.
Han Xuancai picked up the squid and dropped it on the deck before he bent down to pick it up, the big snapping turtle Jenny hurriedly ran over and bit it, the squid was not dead, and the suction cup was attached to its face.
The good turtle head has turned into a blooming chrysanthemum, and it is impossible to see the way forward, if it is not blocked by a railing, the freshwater real snapping turtle will become a sea turtle
"Enough fun, squid like to live in groups, you look below, there must be a lot of them. ”
As soon as the words fell, the button was pressed, the rope contracted, and a squid hung on a few small shrimps, which Logan easily dragged down and threw into the frame.
A sailor sits in front of the box and picks and throws the squid back into the sea, which is not long enough.
Jenny Turtle thinks it tastes good, but it's a little troublesome, so he climbs on top of the squid first, presses it down violently, and eats it when it's flattened, leaving a lot of trouble.
Fat Ding looked at its enjoyment, moved his mind, and the memory of being caught by the stone crab just now was deep, and he quickly stole it when Jenny crushed it to death and turned around.
The silly snapping turtle spun around a few times, but didn't see the squid, and turned his eyes to Pooh, who learned the signature moves of the red pandas. Raise your hands high to show your innocence.
Soon a basket was filled, and squid was constantly caught, and the body of the sea monster was transferred to the cold storage of a nearby fishing ground in the morning, and the cold storage was vacated for seafood.
There are thousands of squid in a group, and the value is not high, and I heard Logan say that basically two pounds are only about a dollar. This year, their numbers exploded, and buyers refused to pay high prices, which were $0.2 lower than in previous years.
I was busy for more than half an hour, during which I sprinkled many dried shrimp to attract them to stay here, and the number of fish that could be caught gradually decreased.
"Almost, let's cast our nets and catch fish, I'll go sail.
Aldrich, you continue to pay attention to the sonar radar. If there are fish, tell me. Captain Robinson said.
The sailors untied the ropes from the trawl and spread them out on the deck.
After driving forward for more than ten minutes, a voice came from the loudspeaker: "There is a school of fish ahead!
The nets weigh several tons, and the booms are pulled up and thrown into the sea, slowly opening up.
"If other fishing boats had seen the fish and cast their nets, some of the creatures wouldn't have been killed by mistake, they would have dragged their nets around until they were full. If you can sell it, you will keep it, and throw it back into the sea if it has no value.
It is estimated that a quarter of the total annual catch is wasted in this way. The fish in the nets are struggling to die in large numbers, and it is difficult to survive. ”
"Langdon! don't grind, go to the net on the left!
"Hell, Logan, you can't be a little loving?!"
"Don't say that when you don't have money to eat!" Logan said, leaning down to watch the movement in the sea, waiting for the captain's signal.
The speed of the Great Penguin was reduced to 4 knots. Han Xuan looked at the radar screen in the cockpit, and a black color appeared in front of him, constantly changing positions, and suddenly disappeared from the screen, Aldrich staring at the direction in which they were swimming. Loudly tell Captain Robinson to speed up and turn left!
The school of fish that had disappeared was visible on the screen again, and the fishing boat slowed down again.
The fish swam in the opposite direction to the fishing boat, and after waiting quietly for a few minutes, the boat suddenly sank, tilted slightly, and slowed down, and the heavy muffled hum of the engine could be clearly felt.
"Stop, stop, there's a couple of big guys!"
Aldrich yelled, "The fish are in the net! Pull up! Don't let those guys get into the net! It's too big for the nets to stand it!"
Captain Robinson hurriedly shouted into the loudspeaker: "Net!"
Several crew members on the deck ran around, this time scattering a total of three trawls, and there were only nine sailors on board, not counting the captains, and the father and son came to make soy sauce.
Overwhelmed, Aldrich took off his headphones to help.
Han Xuan looked into the sea through the window, the color of the net turned black, and the crane creaked, constantly pulling the arm-thick rope into the winch.
Dozens of seconds later, a large black shadow could be seen swimming past the trawl net, and it was impossible to see what it was.
When the net gradually emerges from the water, there is no sharp fish more than ten centimeters long jumping in it, with a dark blue back and a silvery-white belly.
Captain Robinson took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth, and played with the lighter in his hand, "It turned out to be saury, they are not bad this year, and they must have made money on this trip." ”
"What's that dark shadow in the sea?
"I think it's killer whales, there are hundreds of killer whales in the bay.
They like to eat this kind of fish, look at the water column of the sea, thick and slanted, the spray is not high, it must be killer whales.
Each type of whale water column is different, such as baleen whales, the water column that spews out is elongated, and the dorsal fin is two male killer whales and three female killer whales. ”
"If you want to smoke, I'll go down first. Han Xuan said with a smile.
Coming to the deck, not far away the killer whale clings to the sea, the body of more than eight meters is very large, the white belly is matched with the oval spots next to the face, the appearance is quite good, the honest appearance and the national treasure panda have to fight, but in fact, they are a very fierce dolphin, food includes penguins, seals, etc.
Sometimes they attack whales when they are hungry, and even the ferocious great white shark and gray mako shark are in their recipes, and they are well-deserved little sea overlords, swimming in the sea with waves that make the big penguin more than 300 tons jolt.
The triangular dorsal fin protrudes from the sea, and the male killer whale's dorsal fin can be 1.5 meters long, and several of their calls can be clearly heard when breathing.
The whales seemed to be crazy, and they approached the boat one after another, spraying water for a while, lurking for a while, this one floated, and that one wagged its tail, and Han Xuan didn't know who to look at.
Before I could look closely, my body was carried on my father's shoulder, "Looking for death? I want to fall down and make lunch for them, killer whales, killer whales, haven't heard of this name?"
After saying that, he slapped him twice on the buttocks.
Langdon heard it and defended them, "Actually, killer whales in the wild don't hurt people, and there have been records of saving people like dolphins before."
The attack on humans is all due to the fact that they have been kept in captivity for a long time in the aquarium, and they will become timid when they leave the group, and they will be angry and hurt people, and killer whales are highly intelligent animals and do not like to eat people.
The Navy's Underwater Operations Center in Hawaii is training an animal unit of killer whales to perform deep diving, navigation, mine clearance, and more.
Killer whales have also been trained to salvage relics from the seabed, or to use them as police dogs in the sea to manage schools of fish in captivity" (to be continued). )
