Chapter 547: The Finless Porpoise Crisis
The finless porpoise is also a type of dolphin.
Dolphin order: Porpoiseidae.
Dolphins swim fast and are performative, and together with their natural 'smiley faces', they are known as smiling angels.
Because they have extremely high IQs, can interact with people, and can even play water basketball, if the aquarium has a well-trained dolphin, it can definitely greatly increase the popularity......
However, in fact, this is a freedom-worshipping animal, in the natural environment, they can live an average of 45 years, but the captured usually die of depression in two or three years, and almost no can live more than 7 years. Tang Hai, the former 'big fat man', liked it very much, but he was waiting for the old fisherman who had died, and Tang Hai did not force him to catch or train it.
Strictly speaking, it was the first favorite 'sea animal' that Tang Hai encountered!
It was a big pity, but after coming to Japan and seeing the three finless porpoises, Tang Hai's regret was gone, and after naming it, Tang Hai regarded it as his pet, even if he couldn't bring it back......
Of course he recognized his pet, and just looking at the light of life from afar, he knew that it was Xiao Cui's family of three!
"It's Xiao Cui!" Jennifer exclaimed, her voice a little nervous, "Those fishing boats won't catch them, will they?" ”
Japanese fishermen have a whaling habit.
In ancient Japan, there was a shortage of materials, as long as a whale was caught, it could solve the problem of survival for hundreds of people for a whole year, and when it came to catching whales in that era, Tang Hai didn't feel that there was anything wrong, after all, there was a lack of material.
But slowly it became a custom, to this era.
More than 20 years ago, when the Whaling Prohibition Convention came into force, Japan continued to hunt whals under the guise of 'scientific research'. However, with the supervision of foreign countries, Japan can only reduce the amount of whaling.
In order to fill the market. Taiji Town, that is, some areas of Wakayama Prefecture in the south of Osaka Prefecture. The dolphin catch has been increased, and the 2010 Oscar-winning film "Dolphin Bay" was secretly filmed in Taiji Town.
After the town was reported, the fisherman continued to hunt dolphins in his own way, but more secretly.
The Whale and Dolphin Aquarium in Taiji is the world's largest and most technologically skilled dolphin training gym, and the whole world is buying trained dolphins from them to perform a 'friendly show between man and nature'. Of the 100 dolphins that were caught, a few were kept for training because of their good condition, and the rest were killed for meat.
Although she knew that the Japanese killed dolphins, Jennifer still had a little miss in her heart, maybe they didn't kill porpoises. Maybe Xiao Cui's family of three has too little meat, and these people don't think it's worth it......
"Not necessarily, if there is any special belief, such as the first cetacean you see, you must catch it......"
Chiyo's words lifted the hearts of a boatload of people.
Although they have known each other for a short time, unlike the fish farms and farms that have been raised for a long time, the chubby bodies of the Jiang Pig family of three before took the fish thrown by Tang Hai and gave them a performance diving, which has won the love of everyone......
Everyone is staring at several boats, and the big boats must first destroy the dolphins' hearing system in order to catch them. Then force the dolphins into the small harbor and block the entrance to the sea, so that it is possible to succeed, but it is much easier to chase the dolphins one-on-one in the dinghy. If you are a motorboat that can reach speeds of up to 400 kilometers, you will be able to chase dolphins.
The three finless porpoises swam happily because of the reasons that Tang Hai and his party had fed before. Parents seem to be very wary of humans, and the baby porpoise does not regard humans as enemies......
Everyone's hearts were pinched together. Several small boats that were testing their performance also seemed to be less interested in the three finless porpoises, presumably because the porpoise family was too small......
Tang Hai's ears suddenly moved. He heard two people talking on a speedboat, he couldn't hear it very clearly, dolphins or something, and then the dinghy moved!
A simple engine can't completely destroy the dolphin's hearing, Tang Hai has seen a documentary, those people want to catch dolphins, they must first extend the steel pipe into the sea, and then beat it violently, so that the dolphin's ultrasonic positioning ability fails, and the simple engine sound will only frighten them!
Xiao Cui's family of three was obviously frightened, and the dinghy chased after them, startling them, and slammed them out, no longer playing as cheerfully as before!
The dinghy couldn't catch up with them, but then another jet ski rushed in, and it was much faster than the dinghy!
Big fish with experience in fishing boats will choose to dive at this time, such as super-large tuna, swordfish, etc., often have to chase for hours to catch up, and tuna and sailfish intelligence is not high among marine animals......
But the three finless porpoises obviously have no experience against fishing boats, and the purpose of the motorboat is to drive them away, and they must not escape on their backs!
The three finless porpoises that were about to break through were driven back by motorboats, and then two more lifeboats were doing the final tests to join in, a 500-ton class started slowly, as if preparing to trawl the net, and the shouts of several boats could be faintly heard on the small bus......
The combined weight of three finless porpoises is less than 500 catties of meat, and the sale of them is not enough to pay a fisherman's salary, but many hunters in modern times do not hunt simply for food or money......
Cui's father and Cui Ma swam in front, and Xiao Cui's speed was too slow, and he soon fell behind by several positions.
Cui's father and Cui Ma realized something, stopped, Cui Ma turned back violently, Cui Ma picked up Xiao Cui and continued to swim, the speed slowed down significantly, Cui Dad was swimming left and right in a hurry, and the three finless porpoises had never been driven away like this......
"Hmph." Tang Hai stood up and opened the door violently, just a few ordinary people, as long as he made a move......
Tang Hai ran towards the sea.
Jordan and Jennifer, a boatload of people rushed down regardless of it, and a lot of souvenirs they bought before were left in the car, all chasing Tang Hai! The driver and a taxi company shouted "hey" twice at the window, but no one paid any attention to them.
It can be seen that the group is planning to save the little finless porpoise family, but how can people outrun the motorboat?
Cui's father and Cui Ma had been forced to a very small bay, where Tang Hai had driven by before......
Daddy Cui turned around again and jumped out of the water and crashed into the person driving the motorboat! The man was visibly startled, but avoided it.
However, Cui's father jumped up again for the second time, but he crashed into the speeding motorboat! This time, the target was big and hit, but it was Cui's father who sank......
The man was frightened and scolded a few times, probably unlucky.
Cui's mother couldn't escape quickly with the child on her back, and in a wrong turn, Xiao Cui fell down, was easily chased by a small boat, and was caught with a fishing net.
Cui's mother could have escaped at this time, but she turned around and bit the net pocket.
The fisherman in the dinghy was holding a harpoon to fork Cui Ma, Cui Ma screamed, and Tang Hai heard a sound that a human could hear for the first time!
Two wounds appeared on her back, but Cui's mother was still trying to bite the net! Xiao Cui was also screaming in the net pocket, and his voice was so helpless.
Jennifer and her party were very popular, but they were too far away and didn't know what to do, and it was one thing to shout if the other party could hear them......
Then everyone saw Tang Hai stop in front of a man with a fat figure on the dock, and the other party had a motorboat.
thought that Tang Hai wanted to borrow it, but Tang Hai punched the person into three fat people who rolled on the ground......
