After a busy day's work, together with sea fishing and manual picking, the collection of scallops is almost complete, and a beach of scallops is left on the beach, as long as the water vapor is abundant, they will not be in danger of life, and they are alive and well here.

Qin Shiou chewed gum and walked over, watching the sunset and these mothers, planning tomorrow's work.

The sunset light is gently sprinkled down, the weather in early spring is still a little steep, the evening breeze is still a little cold on people's faces, tigers, leopards, bears and wolves and other guys are chasing me on the beach.

Lori Xiong stared at the scallops curiously, and then before anyone was paying attention, it carefully walked up and smashed a few scallops, opened its mouth to reveal its pink little tongue and licked it into its mouth.

The umami flavor of the scallops quickly conquered its taste buds, and Lori Xiong was so happy that her fat paws opened and slapped the scallops, licking the flesh and swallowing them together.

Noticing this, the silent Iverson immediately rushed up, picked up the bear Lori and dragged it back.

Xiong Lori howled unwillingly, Xiong Da heard it and roared to show the majesty of the king of the mountains and forests, but unfortunately after turning his head and seeing that it was Ivotsu holding Xiong Lori, it was suddenly depressed and sat down there in a daze.

Obviously, Iverson made such an impression on Xiong Da as a teenager that he still has lingering palpitations to this day.

Seals also have their eye on scallops, which have no claws and only fin-like limbs, so they can't dig up shellfish in the mud and sand, and of course, the fishing grounds used to have short-tailed shearwaters and silver gulls, and seals didn't care about eating scallops.

Now that the shearwaters are gone, the gulls have been driven away, and the seals have to pick up food substitutes.

There is no doubt that for them, capelin and herring mackerel taste better, but you have to act when you catch fish. Scallops are piled up here. In this way, scallops also seem to be a good food for seals who can be lazy and lazy, and who can beep as much as possible.

Qin Shiou saw that this was not good, a group of guys were staring at the scallops, it is easy to say, the scallops have hundreds of thousands of mothers, and it is nothing to eat. But seals are also eyeing them, and that's trouble. Not only are there many seals, but they are all big eaters!

So, he could only instruct the fishermen to eat a little tired overnight and send the shells around the engineering breeding pond.

The next day will be the work of the bay scallop fry.

Gulf scallop seed production is one of the dominant shellfish industries in the Atlantic coastal region, and over the years improvements have led to significant improvements in nursery techniques, but many fisheries still do not have enough scallop larvae each year because hatching rates are too low. This directly leads to the failure of seedling raising.

Therefore, improving the hatchability rate of bay scallops is one of the key technologies for seedling production, and Qin Shiou should not only input Poseidon energy to them, but also try to adopt more scientific breeding methods, not just rely on Poseidon energy.

All the fishermen went into battle, and Shaq, the sea monster, the bull, and the smoking gun each led a team of ten people, selected the female oysters separately, and put them on different breeding rafts according to the different quality of the female oysters.

The last oyster. It is the kind of bay scallop with full gonads, large individual and complete appearance, which is sorted and sorted out and placed in different breeding ponds. Adjust the water temperature and oxygen content in the water, and carry out temporary maintenance of the mother oyster.

The cultivation of female oysters is the foundation, they are hermaphroditic, and the reproductive habit is to carry out in vitro fertilization, in vitro development, and generally lay eggs in spring and autumn to reproduce, so it is obvious. The maturity of the gonads of female oysters directly affects the quality of egg harvesting.

In fact, the Daqin fishery is not the most suitable place to breed sea shells, for example, this kind of scallops, they can be harvested twice a year in the South Atlantic waters, including the Gulf of Mexico, and only one season can be raised here.

Of course, there are losses and gains. Gulf scallops from the North Atlantic, especially Newfoundland, are of better quality and less polluted than scallops from the southern tropics, and can be sold at a higher price.

Because he entered the seedling breeding season of various seafood, Sanders rushed back from the No. 2 fishing ground to give guidance, and he took Qin Shiou to watch the scallops on the breeding raft one by one.

After reading it, the old professor was a little depressed and said, "The broodstock in the fishery are of good quality." ”

Qin Shiou felt that the latter title was more appropriate, but Sanders was engaged in academics after all, and the words were more accurate, and he felt that he would also call them pro-shells in the future, which was more forceful.

As for the old professor's depression, he can understand it very well, in fact, although the old man is a genius, he does not play much role in the fishing ground, and finally has a black cover giant insect project, but it was stopped by Qin Shiou because of the lack of raw materials, which is his greatest regret.

Hearing the old professor's words, Qin Shiou grinned and said, "These scallops are all high-quality broodstock that I introduced from other fishing grounds, of course the quality is good, and I don't want it if it's not good." ”

At present, there are two main scallops used in major fishing grounds in Canada, the American Gulf scallop and the Mexican Gulf scallop, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they all have a common problem, that is, the quality declines.

The reason for this is, first of all, the degradation of the germplasm of this shellfish; the second is the problem of environmental pollution in aquaculture; the third is the operation management, breeding density and so on; Fourth, there is the issue of reproduction.

Two kinds of bay scallops have been cultivated in North America for more than half a century, the Mexican Gulf scallop was introduced from Mexico, due to the instability of the regime in the country at that time, so the number of introductions in the two countries is limited, and it, nightmare reproduces a generation every six months, so after more than half a century of artificial breeding, it is inevitable to produce the phenomenon of inbreeding.

This is just like people, the quality of children born of close relatives marriage is difficult to guarantee, and over time, the breeding traits of shellfish will deteriorate. Sanders initially thought that the fishing farm would suffer from this problem, and he wanted to solve it to show that he was tough.

As a result, the strong hents didn't give him a chance!

After seeing the quality of the scallops, Sanders suggested that Qin Shiou could do not engage in primitive farming, but do seedling cultivation business, which is more profitable than primitive farming, because it comes quickly, and it does not need to raise fish, shrimp, and scallops for a year or even many years before it can be produced.

Canada's scallop industry is currently experiencing a crisis of declining quality, and there are two ways to solve this crisis: one is to reintroduce the original Gulf scallop species from the United States and Mexico and breed them, which is more expensive.

There is also a way to choose excellent seed shellfish to breed and breed by themselves, which is cheap, but it is not easy to operate, and the cycle is long, just like manual screening of high-quality varieties, which have to go through several rounds of screening and mating, and can only get results after repeated comparisons.

Qin Shiou thought about it, this is also a good idea for development, using the Poseidon consciousness to transform the mother, so that the fish fry, shrimp fry and shellfish fry produced are all of high quality, and it can be regarded as the maximum use of gold fingers to contribute to marine life.
