Juvenile dragonfish grow in shallow reefs, and adults swim out of the open sea and live on the bottom of the sea at 400 meters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As we all know, Westerners rarely eat whole fish, but prefer to cook fish steaks, and dragon tip fish is the most popular fish fillet in New Zealand, and the popularity is quite high.

Because the dragon tip fish lives in the cold water sea and is not too big, the meat of this fish is quite delicate and tight, and it is very delicious for stir-frying, cooking or making fish fillet soup.

However, the Japanese don't like this kind of fish, they like to eat raw fillets, but dragon tip fish is not suitable for raw food, because the fish does not have so much fat in it, and it feels far less refreshing and tender when eaten raw.

Hearing their words, Professor Sandra laughed, and he said, "Yes, Wang, you guessed it, we have completed the desalination transfer of the living environment of the dragon tip fish, and it can enter the lake. ”

The world's aquatic economy is dominated by the sea, and New Zealand has a sprawling coastline that has no shortage of marine products. But marine aquaculture is not so easy and the cost is relatively high, so the desalination of some marine fish has been underway.

For example, although this is the second largest commercially caught fish in New Zealand, its production is not very large, around 10,000 tons per year, and even in recent years, with the intensification of marine pollution, its production has not reached 10,000 tons.

Therefore, once this fish can be transformed into fresh water, it will be a great thing for the people.

After all, the dragon tip fish is not a bargain, and if it is sliced into a fish steak, it can sell for more than 20 dollars per kilogram in the supermarket.

You may be accustomed to the price of a few hundred yuan a kilogram at Sunset Ranch, which is very cheap, but in fact, you must know that New Zealand's seafood is particularly rich, and seafood is very cheap everywhere.

This has to do with the overall map of New Zealand, the north and south islands are two long islands, so any city is close to the sea, and the sea fish is abundant.

Wang Bo asked how this was done, changing the habits of marine fish to desalination, it was a big project, and now there are not a few that have been completed, and Sandra is going to be majestic.

The professor said proudly: "Actually, it is not very difficult, we have used genetic engineering and nano-organ modification science, in short, we have modified their hearts and written these changes in their genes." ”

"Unfortunately, our technology isn't perfect, they don't look very big compared to the Ocean Dragon's Tip Fish, and it seems that genetic changes have limited their size." Sandra shook her head regretfully.

The adult is 50 to 60 centimeters long, which is not very large among marine fish. Genetically engineered fish can grow up to 40 centimeters at most, and most of them are only 20 or 30 centimeters, as they see.

Wang Bo still felt very strong, and he asked, "Don't tell me, this is the gift you prepared." ”

Professor Sandra laughed, "Yes, that's the gift, if you're willing to accept it." ”

Lao Wang exaggeratedly said: "I am too willing to accept it, this is the best Christmas gift I have received this year, I bet, it is!" ”

"It's nothing compared to the fact that you allow us to get up close and personal with freshwater corals," Professor Sandra said. ”

It's still the credit of freshwater corals, and Lao Wang thinks it's time for him to give these corals a medal, they have contributed too much to Sunset Town.

After visiting the Fisheries Research Base at the University of Lincoln, it was getting late and they left, ready to receive the freshwater dragonfish the next day.

Professor Sandra sent females and some fry in small quantities, citing the fact that freshwater was not easy to transport.

Wang Bo doesn't care, with the maintenance of the heart of the lake, the expansion of the fish is a matter of speed.

Back in Sunset Town, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are more and more mosquitoes.

Professor Sandra and Chancellor Sallins visit Sunset on these days, where they visit each of the candidates for the new campus and make a final decision.

In this regard, Bowen said: "Boss, we have too many mosquitoes and the like here, we still have to carry out a mosquito and insect control campaign, right?" ”

There are 16 species of mosquitoes in New Zealand, of which 12 are endemic to New Zealand and the other four are exotic.

The most common of the mosquitoes is about 5 mm long, and despite their small size, they are notorious.

The mosquitoes bite fast, frequently, venomously and slowly recover, and they can also transmit malaria, which has been ravaging New Zealand for a long time in history.

As early as the time when European immigrants were at war with the Maori, the latter used mosquitoes to clean up the proud white aristocracy, and they caught a large number of mosquitoes and smuggled them into the white camps, which once harassed them unspeakably.

New Zealand has a good environment, with many virgin grasslands and jungles, which is not only good but also disadvantageous, that is, mosquito breeding is terrible.

Sunset Town also has this problem, especially in the wild, with several hills nicknamed 'Mosquito Mountain', and people tend to get bitten by mosquitoes in the spring and summer.

Very few people know about New Zealand's native mosquitoes, and much is known about these little creatures as hearsay and speculation. Because most of the 12 mosquito species that are unique to New Zealand only harass birds and feed on their blood.

There are three types of mosquitoes that pose the greatest threat to humans, the striped mosquito, the Southern Salt Marsh mosquito, and the Brown family mosquito, and it is these three mosquitoes that Bowen wants to mobilize to eliminate.

Especially the striped mosquitoes, this mosquito is the most hateful, they get their name from the white stripes on their legs, they are a crazy mosquito, they bite humans day and night, and they fly without sound, known as the smallest killer.

Wang Bo didn't suffer much from this, the heart of the castle has the ability to repel mosquitoes, but most people don't live in the castle, and the townspeople are overwhelmed every summer.

Bowen's proposal was in line with the people's will, and after he put it forward, the people even held a small gathering to respond, seeing this, Wang Bo complied with the public opinion and decided to come to the whole town to eliminate mosquitoes.

So for the next few days, the cleaners drove around in forklifts, pickup trucks and garbage trucks.

First of all, this requires cleaning up garbage and small puddles, and Wang Bo has put forward the slogan 'There are no other bodies of water in the territory except the Twin Lakes'.

Families also pack up the bottles and jars in front of and behind the house, and once these bottles are flooded with rainwater on rainy days, they become the nesting grounds of the mother mosquitoes, and these places where mosquitoes breed.

As soon as this activity was launched, it also helped a lot in the cleaning of the town, the gutters were cleaned, the puddles were filled in and the lawns were paved, and the whole Sunset Town was renovated.
