617.The Mighty Mackerel (7/10)

No wonder Winnie was persuaded by Qin Shiou to go home so lightly this time, it turned out that this girl was specifically coming back to show her Night Empress.

When Qin Shiou said this, Winnie generously admitted: "Wealth does not return to the hometown, like a brocade at night!" You gave me such beautiful jewelry, of course I want Fawkes to show her how happy her fat sister is now. ”

"Were you really fat as a kid?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise.

Winnie slapped him on the back unhappily and pursed her lips without speaking, it seemed that this was indeed a sad topic for her.

After spending only one night at home, the two flew back to St. John's on Sunday afternoon.

However, the effect of this night was good, after Winnie showed off the Night Queen, she was finally not so ruffian, and generally appeared to be normal, and made a few jokes with Fawkes.

Mario and Miranda were very satisfied with this result, and they were really heartbroken for their daughter.

Back at the fishing ground, Qin Shiou routinely sent the Poseidon Consciousness into the sea at night.

This time he did not patrol the fishing grounds, and from the news from the radar, the fishing grounds were not attacked by pirate boats, so he didn't need to waste time, just go to the deep sea.

Large schools of bluefin tuna live on the edge of the Daqin Fishing Grounds, but they are not a single stock, and the tuna that swims from Japan do not merge into the previous group, but form new communities on their own.

Qin Shiou could see that these artificially cultivated fish species were rejected by wild fish species, because the wild fish in the Izu Shichishima Farm entered the previous fish group, and the tuna in the new fish group were all artificially farmed fish.

Compared to wild fish. These farmed fish are a bit silly, they are a little cringe when they interfere at the bottom of the sea. They don't have the relentless momentum of wild fish, and they swim much slower. The appearance is also not as beautiful as that of wild fish.

But Qin Shiou treats them equally, and after encountering them, he will instill them with the energy of the sea god, and these fish will be the trump card of the Great Qin Fishery in the future.

However, it is a little strange that the tuna did not show their attachment to the Poseidon consciousness and their thirst for the Poseidon energy as before, and they still moved forward firmly after feeling the Poseidon consciousness.

Qin Shiou suddenly understood that there should be high-quality bait in the sea ahead that attracted them.

Sure enough, the Seagod Consciousness followed the school of fish and moved forward quickly, and soon a large group of mighty blue-black sea fish appeared in his field of vision.

This fish is elongated and spindle-shaped. The head and back of the body are blue-black, there are several rows of blue-black round spots on the sides of the body, the abdomen is white, and there are horned spines behind the dorsal and anal fins.

"Mackerel!" Qin Shiou immediately recognized the identity of this fish, and his spirit was lifted.

In their natural environment, fish have special colors and markings, or their body color is consistent with their surroundings. This is a result of nature's elimination, as fish have to hide in the water to protect themselves or confuse their enemies so that they can sneak up on their prey.

From this point of view. Mackerel have evolved very successfully, and their bodies are dark, mostly blue-black, dark blue, or dark cyan. The abdomen is pale in color, silvery-white, white, or yellowish-white. This color is called annihilation color and has been widely used in biomimicry.

The protection of mackerel from this eradication color is comprehensive. Because they are fish that live in pelagic waters, they have a snow-white sky overhead and clear blue water around them.

Viewed from above, the back of the fish matches the color of the sea in natural light, so it is not easy to distinguish even if some large hunters with poor eyesight are close to the fish, because the back of the fish matches the color of the sea in natural light. When viewed from the bottom of the fish's body, the color of the fish's abdomen and the surface of the water is very similar, and the color of the sky is very similar, and it is even more difficult to distinguish between them.

It's a pity that this can't fool the bluefin tuna.

Tuna are actually one of the strongest predators in the sea, and because they are good swimmers, they have top-notch endurance, speed and explosiveness, so they are more likely to be targeted than sharks.

There are many fish that can escape shark hunting, and even fewer that may escape from the tuna's field of vision, and mackerel are no exception.

Bluefin tuna have a mixed diet, and they are known to like sardines the most, that is, small herring, but in a study by Japanese fishery experts, it is believed that the mackerel is preferred by bluefin tuna.

In China, mackerel and mackerel are considered to be the same species of fish, but in Canada the two names are different, mackerel is listed in particular, mackerel refers to the four-fingered mackerel, golden mackerel, blue-spotted mackerel, spotted mackerel, Kang's mackerel, etc., mackerel is another species.

In contrast, mackerel is tastier than most mackerel fish, with delicate and white flesh, glutinous and fresh, and rich in nutrients, especially the New Zealand mackerel, which is known as the silver of the sea.

Compared with mackerel, the number of mackerel is much smaller, and the price is much more expensive, even if it is not as good as bluefin tuna, it is possible that a large fish of more than five kilograms can be sold for hundreds or thousands of yuan.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult for mackerel to grow to a very large size, and it generally grows to a small half a meter long, which is two or three kilograms.

Because of the lack of clarity and the poor protection of the fish in the United States and Canada, fishermen seized on the loophole and fished them wildly, leading to fewer and fewer pure mackerel.

For this reason, many people confuse mackerel with mackerel and mackerel fish.

But there is no doubt that what appears in front of Qin Shiou now is mackerel, and it is also a large school of mackerel.

Mackerel, like many other fish, have a summer migration habit of not entering rivers from the sea or from saltwater to fresh water, but from the South Atlantic to the North Atlantic.

Seeing this kind of fish, Qin Shiou was not polite, he drove away the coveted tuna, controlled the batch of big fish that led the group, and directly gave them a hard recourse, letting them divert from the north direction to the northwest direction, so that they entered the category of Daqin Fishing Ground.

Mackerel is also valuable because they are not farmable, and now even bluefin tuna has been artificially farmed, but this fish has no choice but to go to the ocean to fish.

Bringing fish into the shallow waters, where there are fewer large hunters, and although the cod can grow up to a meter or two long, they have little interest in mackerel, because mackerel are a bit ferocious and are not as convenient as herring and mackerel.

After harvesting this batch of Atlantic mackerel, Qin Shiou's work tonight can be regarded as fruitful.

He set up the fish, let them prey on small fish and shrimp in the fishing grounds, eat them, close their eyes and start sleeping, tomorrow there are more important things. (To be continued......)
