Most people's understanding of crabs is those small tanks on the bottom of the sea, they have carapaces and hold big tongs, they are rampant and domineering to eat meat and drink, and they eat seaweed when they encounter seaweed, eat shrimp when they encounter shrimp, and eat small fish when they encounter small fish.

In fact, crabs also contribute a lot to the ocean, they are marine heavy metal content regulators, people who like to eat crabs know that crabs have two large rows of soft ribs under the large carapace, which are their lungs.

Crabs need to continuously draw seawater during their life, and when seawater passes through their lungs, heavy metal ions will be sifted out, and the relevant ion content in the outflow of seawater is very low.

Sanders told Qin Shiou, Qin Shiou nodded, he also had plans to breed crabs before, but later found that there were many queen crabs in the fishing ground, so the matter was shelved.

Later, because the queen crab marched offshore in winter, Qin Shiou was afraid of hurting the coral reef, so he organized fishermen to carry out many salvages, cleaned up several large crab schools, and sold them to Miami and New York for money.

Now that the heavy metal content in the fishery exceeds the standard, it is necessary to breed sea crabs on a large scale.

The question is, what type of crab are they going to breed?

The best crabs often come from the Pacific Ocean, such as Dungeness crab, king crab, etc., and the snow crab abundant in the North Atlantic Ocean also has many populations in the Pacific Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean is considered to be a rich source of crabs.

What Qin Shiou wants to breed is Dungeness crab, as an important resource of American crab products, this kind of crab is indeed a very valuable treasure as its name suggests.

Dungeness crab is valued not only for its deliciousness, but also for its high meat yield, more than 25 percent. That is, if you buy a kilogram of Dungeness crab, you can eat half a catty of crab meat. For snow crabs and blue crabs, it is simply unimaginable.

Queen's crabs from Daqin Fishery can be sold at high prices in New York and Miami. The best crabs are 200% more expensive than similar products on the market because their crabs are not only delicious, nutritious, but also have higher yields.

But even the best Daqin brand queen crab, the crab meat yield rate is less than 20%, while the normal is only 16%-18%, as for the ordinary queen crab in the outside world, the crab meat yield rate is low, at most 13%!

The main source of Dungeness crab is North America, and more than 90% of the Dungeness crab in North America is caught by American fishermen. Catches in Canada are low.

Most Dungeness crabs are caught on the West Coast of the United States and then sold to supermarkets and restaurants across Canada through San Diego to Vancouver, Canada.

Therefore, if Daqin Fishery can breed Dungeness crabs, then Daqin brand seafood can enter Canada's fist products in one fell swoop.

Herein lies the problem of egg pain, Dungeness crabs are regional reproductive crabs, and their largest population lives in Alaskan waters. The rest of the North Pacific is relatively small, and in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, it's almost none.

In addition, Dungeness crabs are abundant in Alaskan waters. Individuals are also the largest, with an average weight of 1 kg. Dungeness crabs from Washington, Oregon, California and Columbia, on average, are 25 percent smaller.

Countries and regions along the Atlantic coast have studied how to introduce Dungeness crabs, especially Japan. The crab sells well in the island nation, and the money they spend on Dungeness crab research is second only to bluefin tuna.

But. While bluefin tuna farming technology has revolutionized the world, Dungeness crab farming technology in Japan is still at a loss.

Fortunately, the waters of Hokkaido in Japan belong to the North Pacific Ocean. This crab is also produced, which is the only way to solve the dependence of Japanese diners on Dungeness crab.

In Qin Shiou's understanding, the crab with the most economic value and potential value is the Dungeness crab, and now countries and regions with conditions will catch them in winter, which has led to the reduction of the production of this crab.

The United States and Canada have a great deal of protection for Dungeness crabs, and can only catch male crabs, and female crabs must be released back into the sea, not transported and sold.

Yes, the same fishing for Dungeness crab is the same as hunting bluefin tuna, you need to buy a fishing license from the Ministry of Fisheries, otherwise it is illegal fishing.

After Qin Shiou said his plan, Sanders was a little embarrassed.

He is aware of the difficulty of cultivating Dungeness crabs in the Atlantic, and in fact the Marine Science Research Institute of the University of Toronto has also studied the cultivation of Dungeness crabs in the Atlantic, but in the end no substantial progress has been made.

There is no doubt that if the Daqin Fishery wants to breed this kind of crab, then the technical pressure is on him, and Qin Shiou will not spend a high price in vain to raise him without contributing.

In addition, the female crabs and crab species of Dungeness crabs are quite expensive, especially since there is no Dungeness crab cultivation base in Newfoundland Province, and if you want to breed them, you have to transport them from Columbia, and the shipping cost alone is also an astronomical amount.

If Sanders couldn't successfully breed this crab, then he really couldn't explain it to Qin Shiou.

After a moment's hesitation, Sanders decided to open up and say, "I said boss, Dungeness crab farming in the North Atlantic, it's not much different from throwing Canadian dollars into the sea, and to be honest, I don't have the confidence to solve this problem." ”

Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and said with a gesture of encouragement: "Let go of your hands and feet and work hard, I believe you will be fine!" You just need to find a way to breed, I don't need you to be responsible, insisting on breeding Dungeness crabs is my idea, and in the end, if you can't breed successfully, the responsibility is also on me. ”

Sanders smiled bitterly, the boss can say so, but he is a subordinate, and he really dares to put the responsibility on the boss when the time comes?

He felt that Qin Shiou was a little crazy, he knew that this guy wanted to breed Dungeness crabs, so he didn't come to Daqin Fishery to work, this was not to be a technical consultant, but to plan to enter the Nobel Prize!

Qin Shiou was telling the truth, he felt that with the powerful transformation of living beings by the Seagod's energy, there should be no problem in adapting the Dungeness Crab to the Atlantic Ocean.

Sanders has another great use, let this veteran marine expert take a temporary job in breeding, just when the time comes, to find a name for successful breeding Dungeness crabs, you can't grow Dungeness crabs without an explanation, right?

The task he had prepared for Sanders was to study the blackcover giant worm, and he had already sent a giant demon to retrieve more than a dozen pieces of the bug's carapace, which were now thrown on the coral reef and could be fished up at any time for study.

But Sanders didn't know, he accepted the topic of Dungeness crab breeding with a bitter face, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call a group of old guys after leaving the villa: "Hurry up and provide me with technical support, my little boss wants to breed Dungeness crabs!" ”

"Oh God, is he crazy?"

"No, he's not crazy, it's me who is crazy, I'm crazy with him!"

"Well, then God bless you, I already foresee a situation where you don't even have any pants left." (To be continued......)
