548.The Leatherback Turtles Are Back (3/10)

The cost of island farming is too great, and it is difficult to correct the problem, such as these purse seine nets, which are linked together piece by piece, and if there is a problem with a net, you can change the net.

However, as soon as the sharks are entangled, several nets are put together, which makes it troublesome, because there are many torn mesh, and it is difficult to replace them.

The fishermen and farmers on the island howled, but they were helpless, and the sharks were cunning, marching to the bottom of the sea, and when they reached the farm, they attacked from under the water, destroying the foundations of the nets, and causing even more damage.

Shark fishing boats are completely useless, and if the sharks parade close to the bottom of the sea, even if the sonar can find them, the nets will not catch them.

After tearing up the nets of the remaining five farms, the sharks and tuna schools left together, and the two sides did not invade each other, Qin Shiou positioned the tuna in the North Atlantic and let them go, waiting for the fish to arrive.

When he returned to the fishing grounds, he saw that the schools of saury had also arrived, and the appearance of these brightly colored creatures caused a small sensation in the fishing grounds, and the herring, mackerel, and small cod immediately spotted these predators and fled in panic.

The swordfish were not impressed by these fish, and they probably knew that they could not catch up, so they wandered around the fishing grounds, and later found the patches of kelp fields, and immediately happily burrowed into the kelp.

Qin Shiou now also understands the habits of the devil's head swordfish, because they have a bright body color, it is difficult to catch food in an open and upright situation. In this way, they can only look for some floating objects, hiding underneath and waiting for the fish to pass by.

From this point of view, the predation of the devil's head saury is a bit of a wait-and-see taste, too negative and not positive enough. Qin Shiou was really worried that these guys would starve to death in their own fishing grounds. Because the fish transformed by Poseidon's energy are all a little smart, it is estimated that after a long time, they will know that the danger of kelp fields is no longer close.

It's not just small fish that are close to the kelp fields. And the big fish. The Devil's Head Knife Fish caused a bit of a stir in the fishing grounds, but Snowball, Ice Blade and Bean discovered their arrival. However, Snowball and Ice Blade were not interested, and Bean was still hungry, so he pounced.

The bottlenose dolphin made a few charges to the bottom of the kelp field, and it watched as it aimed at a fat devil-headed swordfish, and swooped up like a sharp arrow.

The devil's head knifefish was unavoidable, and was bitten by Bean all of a sudden, Qin Shiou was just about to stop Bean, but found that the devil's head knifefish had stopped moving in Bean's mouth, and it was estimated that it was bitten to death. I had no choice but to give up.

Bean dragged the devil's head knife fish to swim a few hundred meters, and when it felt that the food in its mouth was not moving, it spit it out, and after a few circles around it, it found that it was dead, and left unhappily.

Just after the bean disappeared, the devil's head swordfish, which looked dead, came back to life with a flick of its tail, and it cleverly looked around, and after finding that there were no natural enemies, it shook its head and tailed and returned to the kelp field unharmed.

Qin Shiou was surprised to see it, these ghost-headed swordfish are not as dull as they seem. will even pretend to be dead to avoid the dolphin hunting, shrewdly can.

It is not uncommon for animals in nature to pretend to be dead to avoid predators, because many animals do not eat scavengers, and rotting animals contain too many bacteria and viruses. It is easy to cause some diseases. But fish rarely see this ability, it's very simple, they don't have that brain. And the devil's head swordfish is obviously an outlier among them.

This ability is really good to escape dolphins, and dolphins like to play first after catching food. After catching small fish, Bean likes to shoot them out of the water with his tail, and he jumps up to catch them and swallow them alive.

If the prey is dead. Dolphins are not interested, they only eat live animals, such as cod and salmon, they all open their mouths and swallow them alive, unlike sharks, which will bite their opponents to death and devour.

Spring has arrived, the fishing grounds have warmed up, many ocean cruising fish have returned, and Qin Shiou has also encountered a group of leatherback turtles that he has not seen for a long time.

Before, Qin Shiou controlled zhì leatherback turtles in the fishing grounds, but these big turtles did not lay eggs and did not reproduce. There was no way, Qin Shiou had no choice but to let go of the restraints on them, and then these big turtles left the fishing ground in late autumn, probably going to the southern hemisphere for wintering, and in the end only a few remained in the fishing ground.

At this time, he went to the mouth of the river to look at the sea, and found a large group of leatherback turtles appearing at the mouth of the river to feed. And some of these leatherback turtles are only palm-sized small turtles, which are very interesting because they don't swim on their own, but lie on their parents' large carapaces.

Seeing the group of leatherback turtles coming with the baby turtles, Qin Shiou was happy, hey, these guys really have to mate and lay eggs when they are cruising the ocean. It seems that it is not that they don't like the fishing grounds, but that they have to breed.

Now that the breeding is successful, they will drag their families back to the Daqin fishing ground, Qin Shiou roughly counted, this group of turtles with a total of forty or fifty large and small, and the leatherback turtle group in the fishing ground appeared again.

Leatherback turtles cannot be eaten or sold, but they are important to the fishery because they are very good at eating jellyfish, and as long as they are present, the fishery will not be flooded with jellyfish.

Looking at those soft and weak little turtles, Qin Shiou generously entered some Seagod energy, these turtles are so conscientious, they can be cultivated as descendants.

Leatherback turtles are conscientious and exemplary laborers, and after absorbing the energy of the sea god, the turtles of all sizes begin to clean up the jellyfish in the fishing grounds.

They look dull-eyed, but in fact they have very good eyesight, and the translucent jellyfish may not even be able to see Qin Shiou, but they can find it as soon as possible and then eat it.

The large shell of the leatherback turtle is still more than one meter, and there are small and dense teeth in the mouth, which looks quite scary when hunting, and several leatherback turtles happened to encounter a group of squid when they were preying.

Qin Shiou has put small squid into the fishing ground a few times, and in the past year, these little squid have grown a lot - they do not grow as fast as cod, but much faster than herring, mackerel, etc., and the big squid are half a meter long.

Originally, these squid were eating, and their bodies were like neon boards, with a variety of colors, fickleness, and colorfulness, and they looked very beautiful.

Qin Shiou had noticed it before, he thought it was the special body color of the squid when eating, and now that the heart of the sea god had the ability to sense the mood of the creatures, he knew that this was not the case, it was the squid's body color that would become so colorful when they were happy.

As a result, when the leatherback turtle approached, the color of the squid's body suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a black and white band like zebra stripes, which looked murderous.

The leatherback turtles were unresponsive, they were not interested in the squid, and continued to swim forward in search of jellyfish.

The squid thought that they were here to prey on themselves, and when they saw the change in the color band on their body, they could not scare others, so they could only use a trick, their mouths squirted out black ink, and then violently contracted the coat cavity, spraying water from the water spray hole in the abdomen, and quickly escaped with the help of reaction force.

The leatherback turtles didn't care, and continued to swim forward slowly, which was called a calm and calm. (To be continued......) R1292
