Chapter 447: Baby Seals

"Stop the boat!" Tang Hai also roared.

In the wheelhouse, Jennifer had forcibly stopped the ship, and a sailor who was on standby was also a little caught off guard and ordered to drop anchor.

Tang Hai, Jennifer, Merlin, Hadley, Tail, the five gathered on the bow of the boat.

The location of Seal Island is clearly marked on the navigation map, and this is the place where everyone came with the navigator on.

However, when I arrived here at this moment, I could only see that the sea was calm, and the sea was empty in the distance, and the unique cloudy and low pressure of the North Pole pressed the sea surface, and it was clear that it was daylight but there was no feeling of openness here. Occasionally, waves of less than half a meter would crash on the side of the ship, but because the tonnage of the Little Princess was too large, the waves could not be splashed. It's just that the swing of the ship makes it clear that there is not calm beneath the surface.

Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and then the tail urned and asked, "Boss, did you hear it wrong, it's actually not Seal Island?" Could it be Sea Snake Island or something? ”

"Snakes hibernate in cold climates, do you think there are sea snakes in the Arctic Ocean? The snake that lives in the coldest areas is the Arctic viper, but in fact it can only live at 67 degrees north latitude, and it can't reach us. ”

"Did you hear me wrong, or maybe there are too many islands in the Arctic, when Seal Island is somewhere else?" Hadley also raised questions.

"Then there should be at least one island here." Jennifer said.

"Let's cook first, stay here for two hours and see how it goes. Jennifer, keep an eye out for weather changes. Although Tang Hai felt that it was appropriate to leave at this time, every moment on the ship was precious, but there always seemed to be a voice in his heart talking to him. That's right, this voice is called intuition.

There are quite a few good fishers on board. Even Tang Hai can at least call himself an experienced old fisherman, but in different seas and at different times. The fishing experience used is different, and even a few fishing graduates who have been to the Arctic Ocean have no opinions.

Sea fishing is lucrative, but many people forget to calculate losses.

Fuel consumption is actually the smallest part, wages are nothing, and the main thing is the age of service on the ship.

The depreciation cost of the ship is too small, 5% depreciation in 10 years, and a $5 million class ship can still be sold for $4.5 million after 10 years? How can it be.

The service age of ordinary ships is more than ten or twenty years, and only special ships and superships can reach more than 30 years.

An ordinary 1,000-ton squid fishing boat costs more than $15 million. Assuming that in 15 years, old ships will be eliminated to the second line, and the money can be recovered for three years by selling old ships, then coupled with currency depreciation, crew salaries, and various expenses, the average annual squid fishing boat in this decade must have at least 2.5 million yuan in income in order not to lose money.

The most important reason why Tang Hai refused to participate in albacore tuna fishing was the small harvest. He can offer a price to the international standard of madness, Dahlia will take 80% of a boat, and a large number of professional fishermen and weekend warriors will be willing to board the boat to go fishing with him.

But every 24 hours of the princess is about $5,000 for various losses, which is slowly calculated. Fishing boats are profitable by doing this, but the proportion of money is large, and the amount of money earned is not much, and the princess starts as soon as it starts. The amount earned may be large, but the proportion is small.

Think about the last time I bought two ships at a low price in Xinchuan Heavy Industry, it is estimated that I can buy them in the next few years. After making an international reputation, it will be so cheap, do you want to look for a new company to sell ships in the future? Or even some other countries that rely on heavy industry exports to buy ships?

Tang Hai has completely become an uncle in Dahlia, and he looks at the scenery here. As the waves were still singing, Jennifer came over with bread and squeezed butter......

Bread is actually something that doesn't stand up to hunger, so big one, there is only a little left when you pinch it, how can you be hungry?

Lao Mei's eating habits, staple food intake is very low, potatoes are also counted, the average staple food calories are only about 65% of Chinese. Vegetables are even more scarce, because potatoes have vitamin C, so they eat very little. But meat products, dairy products, oil, the intake is exceeded, a toothpaste of butter meets butter, at most two days to eat, this is oil......

It can be called a big country in the world, and the worst dietary conditions are definitely India, which eats 5 kilograms of meat per capita a year, which is less than one-tenth of China's, and it is a little better than the Chinese commune era.

The Arctic is cold, with an average temperature of around 4 degrees Celsius in the summer, and the ocean temperature can be a little lower.

Watching hundreds of narwhals swim around with a cool breeze blowing here, Tang Hai, the little pot friend Marlena, and the daughter of the sea Jennifer, who are not afraid of the cold, will do such a boring thing, and others have already gone to a warm place to hide......

Wait, hundreds of narwhals!

"Oh, so many calves!" Malena also noticed the problem, at least 300 narwhals were up and down, looking at their cheerful appearance, as if singing, I had horns on my head and tails behind me......

"Not surprisingly, narwhals only move sporadically in winter and spring, when the polar night environment is full of ice and there is not enough food to feed separately. However, they actually prefer to be in groups, especially in ...... Where the bait is abundant......"

As soon as Jennifer finished speaking, the three of them all remembered something!

A place rich in bait!

Narwhals are almost at the top of the Arctic food chain, and in ancient times it was impossible to catch them and kill them at the vent because they were so strong that they could only be caught when they died and their carcasses were flattened and floated, as were bowhead whales, or they were frozen and brought to shore by ocean currents......

It's impossible to really hold a spear against them, they're elephants in the water! And bowhead whales are dinosaurs in the water!

This clustering at the top of the food chain suggests that there must be cod, which is the main food for narwhals, then cephalopods, then shrimp and crabs......

The three of them were thinking about it, and a thick piece of ice floe, about the size of two beds, was slowly floating, and a seal was lying on it.

Arctic Ocean seals are bearded seals, which are extremely thick-bearded seals.

This little seal is still very small, and it is enjoying the summer sun with its mouth smashed, with a bare head, black spots on its face and neck, and a beard, so fat that it seems that it can't walk...... In fact, seals are really basically unable to walk, and their crawling ability is similar to that of a small baby......

"Oh! Seal! "Malena has forgotten how she was saved by a sea lion when she was a child, she was so young that she couldn't remember the picture even if someone told her. But she liked these pinniped sea beasts, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone to take pictures.

Jennifer Eun Chen casually took out her crime tool from her bag and began to take a brutal and inhumane photograph of the fat seal......

Tang Hai was speechless about these two scumbags, they were cute, and then they didn't wear clothes, you two just photographed others, isn't this too unkind? How about it, I should ask!

One by one, the narwhals sank into the sea and began to activate the cetacean obscenity magic skill: the floating voyeur.

Narwhals don't eat seals, and although they are toothed whales, their teeth are basically the same as those of an eighty-year-old, and it's nice to see a long tooth.

They do not have the ability to chew, so they feed in the same way as baleen whales, they are all swallowed, and the largest can swallow large cod, and the seal is obviously oversized.

A little baby who is not deeply involved in the world, just because he looks cute and sunbathes without clothes, is so shamelessly peeping and secretly photographed, it is really heartbreaking, the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient......

Tang Hai sighed as he ate his bread, and the chubby little guy finally found a few big ships.
