"The Yangtze River is the mother river of the Chinese nation since ancient times, the world's third largest river has a total length of 4,504 kilometers, a basin area of 1 million square kilometers, a total water resource SF091.6 billion cubic meters, 20 times that of the Yellow River, has rich aquatic resources, before liberation can provide about 500,000 tons of fish per year, in recent years due to human overkilling, the Yangtze River aquatic resources are close to exhaustion, and the annual harvest is less than 80,000 tons. οΏ₯f。 The world-renowned Yangtze River anchovy, saury, Chinese sturgeon, etc. have been endangered, the Baiji dolphin, known as the goddess of the Yangtze River, has been declared functionally extinct, and the four most common large fish have also been reduced from more than 30 billion fish per year to less than 100 million at present, in order to protect water resources and the reproduction of aquatic organisms, the Yangtze River is closed to fishing from March to June every year, and the specific time is determined by the governments of each river basin......"

On the way to Huayin County, Nangong Huang took an iPad and sat in the back row to check the information on the Internet.

In fact, these materials are meaningless, Su Ming and they are not from the Yangtze River Bureau, this time they went to Huayin County, mainly for tourism, by the way, to see if there are any fishing products worth starting. The recent situation of the Yangtze River's water resources is not something that Su Ming should be concerned about, even if he wants to care, he is powerless now.

However, since Nangong Huang showed that he was willing to work hard and did his homework in advance, Su Ming would of course support him.

came together, as well as Su Meng, the No. 1 personal bodyguard, and Hai Dongqing in the sky. Nangong took almost a month off before and after going to Xiangjiang, and after coming back, he worked overtime all day to make up for work, and he couldn't leave at all.

Originally, I wanted to call Liang Shi here, but he was the real aquatic expert.

Unfortunately, just the day before departure, Liang Shi received a bad news: Professor Chu called to say that the two baiji dolphins raised by the provincial protection center had hung up.

Yes, it is what Nangong Huang said just now, the white dolphin known as the goddess of the Yangtze River.

Su Ming also learned later that the Baiji dolphin is actually rarer than the finless porpoise, and in the wild environment, both of them are basically extinct, but they are under the protection of captivity. There are still more than ten or twenty finless porpoises, but the white dolphin has only the two single seedlings of the Provincial Aquatic Protection Center in the country.

In the rest of the country, there are a few so-called 'white dolphin centers'. But it's all about selling dog meat on sheep's heads, and the ones raised in it are all finless porpoises.

After Liang Shi received the call, he cried and asked for leave to return to the provincial capital to participate in the farewell ceremony of Baiji Dolphin, and by the way, he dissected it. Make a specimen ...... It's not that Liang Shiniang loves to cry, it's really too affectionate, he has four years of college, and the first year and a half of graduate school, except for classes, almost all the rest of the time is spent in the conservation center, and these two finless porpoises.

Su Ming criticized Liang Shi very strictly, no wonder he couldn't find a girlfriend, he deserved to be single for the rest of his life!

These two white dolphins are the end of their lives. The death is relatively peaceful, but Professor Chu of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences and they were dumbfounded, this time the calf is completely finished, and the last two Baiji dolphins died, which can almost declare the extinction of the Baiji dolphin.

When they were alive, there was still some hope that they would make a few babies out, or use artificial insemination technology, and now they are dead, which is called a widow and a dead son. There is no hope at all.

In the eyes of ordinary people like Su Ming, the extinction of the Baiji dolphin has no effect, it is nothing more than a sigh after dinner. But in the eyes of these professionals of Professor Liang Shichu. This is a catastrophe where the sky is falling apart, and even the old director Song Lao, who is retired at home, went to the provincial capital with Liang Shi to see the white dolphin for the last time.

Giant pandas, Chinese alligators, baiji dolphins, several of the most representative Chinese creatures. The white dolphin is gone. Yangtze crocodiles and giant pandas are also living on the red line on the verge of extinction, Su Ming estimates that maybe in another one or two hundred years, future generations will be very excited when they see a big bad wolf: Mom, look, the big bad wolf, a national treasure......

"Brother-in-law, let me say, protect a fart! Just let those fishermen overfish, and when they all become extinct, let those bastard fishermen reap the consequences! Nangong Huang said a little angrily in the back row.

"The fishermen cannot be blamed for the depletion of the Yangtze River fishery." Su Ming shook his head. Yes, fishermen are using high technology and small eye nets, but if you look at the catch, you can see that 500,000 tons ago, 500,000 tons, now less than 80,000 tons, there are fewer fish caught.

Among the four major factors that cause extinction, such as overfishing, water conservancy project construction, water pollution and sand dredging, overfishing has the least impact. The really worst thing is the construction of hydropower stations and dams, which directly cut off the flow of rivers, cut off the migratory routes of fish, and destroy the habitat of fish.

There is also sewage discharge, there are countless heavily polluting enterprises on both sides of the Yangtze River, Liang Shi and they have investigated, every second of planting, there are 30,000 tons of sewage discharged into the Yangtze River.

Liang Shi half-jokingly said that in the past few decades, the damage caused by sewage pollution to the land of China has far exceeded that of the Japanese devils' war of aggression against China, and many losses are permanent. Some species disappear unconsciously, and it will not have the same violent social repercussions as the poisoned milk powder incident, but the species resources disappear and there will be no more, which is a huge harm to the genetic resources and biodiversity of the species. When most of the fish in the Yangtze River are gone, then the Yangtze River is dead.

"Does the government care?" Nangong Huang asked.

Su Ming glanced at him and said, "Your brother-in-law and I are not the government, so it's useful for you to ask me." I didn't see that you, a guy who can't even memorize the English alphabet, are actually quite worried about the country and the people. ”

Nangong Huang said something that made Su Ming very painful: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!" ”

Liang Shi only calculates environmental accounts, but I have to say that pollution has also brought about economic prosperity, and the trade-offs are not clear in one or two sentences.

Su Ming didn't bother to think about such a lofty question, it was only right to take care of his own one-third of an acre.

Huayin County is a little more than three kilometers away from Yangchuan City, and the national highway is not needed.

The county seat is not big, and you can see the entire county from a slightly higher place, which is just a large fishing village with a slightly higher modern Cheng DΓΉ.

It has been the third day since the Yangtze River began fishing, and after entering the city, there is no sign of depletion of water resources, on the contrary, it is lively and prosperous.

There are rows of large water tanks at the door of every house, which are densely packed with freshly caught river fish; All kinds of fishing houses and small restaurants abound.

There are not only dark-skinned and simple fishermen, but also tourists from all over the country in the small county town at this time.

Every year when fishing, Huayin County will attract many tourists to taste new fish, Huayin County has also developed some water tourism projects, such as cruise ships, fishing, tourism has almost become the secondary industry of Huayin County.

Su Ming came this time, he had the idea of looking for economic fish and bringing them back to the reservoir for breeding, and he was not in a hurry to go to the venue of the 'exchange meeting', parked his car in the parking lot outside the county, stopped and stopped along the way, asked about the price of fish stalls one by one, and inquired about the market.

I didn't see any very special fish, mainly the four big plus fish, there are also a lot of small whitebait, and I also saw two sellers of yellow eel.

Even Su Ming's eyes can see that the yellow eel is artificially bred, and it is difficult to find large-scale wild yellow eels in the Yangtze River these days.

Crabs are good, the problem is that it is not far from Poyang Lake, no matter how you breed it, it is difficult to catch up with the reputation accumulated by other people Poyang Lake hairy crabs for more than ten years, and these guys with teeth and claws eat small fish fry and put them in the reservoir, which is a bit more than worth the loss, and it is easy to become a scourge if you don't get it right.

"Brother-in-law, ...... look" Nangong Huang suddenly tugged at Su Ming's sleeve and snorted at a small door-faced fish shop in the middle of nowhere.

I saw that the small shop selling fish was not big, but there were many tourists around the water tank at the door, and they were curious to look at it and point to the fish box.

Squeezed into the crowd to take a look, only to see that there were three large water tanks at the door, and there were more than 100 fat fish about the length of a palm in the water tank.

These fish are round and cute, like a little fat man, with blue-gray markings on their backs, white bellies, and a small straight spine on their backs, which swim around in the water with their heads wadding.

At first glance, it looks like a mutated frog with no legs.

Su Ming is happy, no wonder so many people are watching, these fat fish in front of them are the legendary 'pufferfish'.

Pufferfish is a brackish and freshwater animal, living in shallow seas, every year when the fish is news, there will be a large number of pufferfish swimming back to the Yangtze River water system, the yield is abundant, if in the coast, almost all the year round can be fished. The muscles of pufferfish are as white as frost, the meat is delicious, tender and delicious, and the protein content is extremely high.

The pufferfish in front of you, with its back tinged with a blue color, is strictly called the 'Oriental pufferfish'.

Nangong Huang introduced with a smile on the side, pufferfish also has another name, the ancient literati called it 'Xi Shi milk', which means that its meat is as white as milk, plump and delicious, and melts in the mouth, like the milk of Xi Shi beauty.

"Nonsense, the ancient literati were very sullen, Shih Tzu milk is Shih Tzu milk, but it definitely does not refer to Shih Tzu's milk." Su Ming said.

"What's that?" After all, Nangong Huang was still a half-old child, and he couldn't immediately understand what Su Ming was full of messy things.

"Uh...... Forget it, nothing. Su Ming closed his mouth, it's okay to discuss this topic with Nangong, don't teach bad children.

In ancient China, there was a saying that 'risking death to eat pufferfish', pufferfish contains highly poisonous in the body, from ancient times to the present, there are many people who are poisoned to eat pufferfish greedily, even so, there are still generations of gourmets who go to gamble to eat pufferfish, it can be seen that its taste is indeed attractive.

In addition, pufferfish are quite cute, so there are many onlookers, but no one pays for them. Pufferfish is not something that ordinary housewives can do well, and even the chef of the hotel does not dare to try it lightly, and if he is not careful, he will have to make a fuss.

The owner of the fish shop, a middle-aged man with dark skin, squatted behind the water tank, and shouted a little anxiously: "Bosses, buy a few, this thing is not only delicious, but also fun, I dare not eat it when I buy it home, and I can also raise it as a pet fish!" ”

Someone pointed at the pufferfish and smiled: "How do you play this?" ”

Dividing line

Yesterday was a good day, 520, and then Huo Jianhua was suddenly with Ruby Lin.

When I got the news, I searched all the toilets in the city as soon as possible, hoping to catch a crying wild Hu Ge (to be continued. )
