1081. New Breeding Program (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
The recommendation vote list is urgent, ask for a recommendation vote, please brothers and sisters, after reading it, vote for a recommendation, thank you. ****
When the Dungeness crabs arrived, the busiest person was Professor Sanders, who was responsible for the precious crabs, which was $340,000, and if it was successfully fed, it would be $3.4 million or even $34 million!
Qin Shiou originally just asked Sanders to make a name, and he didn't expect the old professor to really have a way to solve this problem - to turn the special treasures of the North Pacific into ordinary catches in the North Atlantic.
But Sanders didn't think so, he was taking this issue seriously after he was assigned by Qin Shiou, and in addition to studying the carapace of the black cover giant insect, he was thinking about the breeding of Dungeness crabs in the North Atlantic with relevant experts at other times.
For a long time, the Dungeness crab research team encountered a problem of not knowing why this crab could not survive in the North Atlantic, and they considered relevant factors such as light, pH, temperature, food and water quality, and even studied the disparity of trace elements in different sea areas, but still did not find the reason.
As the saying goes, if you can't find the right medicine, you can't find the symptoms, even if you are a national hand of traditional Chinese medicine, you can't prescribe medicine, right?
Sanders can only carry out conservative farming, and he has come up with a new breeding method through some related project research teams, that is, the new technology of "engineered farming system", which is used to breed Dungeness crabs.
In the past week, a transportation company has sent a large number of composite partitions, and the Weir construction team has dug dozens of ponds on the beach on the shore, which is busy. Breeding farms were built.
The pond was dug to a depth of 2 meters and separated by composite partitions into tanks about 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, where the mother crabs and crab fry were separated. It was to escape into these pools.
Qin Shiou's face was full of curiosity, after the Dungeness crab was delivered, it was placed on the beach around these ponds according to Sanders's instructions, and the water inside was pumped from the transport ship.
The reason why the freight is so expensive is because in addition to transporting Dungeness crabs, there is a lot of seawater on the transport ships, otherwise the Dungeness crabs would have died long ago if they were transported all the way outside the water.
General transport ship after arriving at the destination. The water inside will be discharged, and without Dungeness crabs, the sea water inside will be worthless. But Sanders didn't let them poop casually. Instead, it was transferred to these ponds.
Seeing Qin Shiou's curiosity, Sanders explained: "BOSS, do you know about the engineered breeding system? This time, I used the circulating micro-flow culture technology in this technology, and adopted a gradual adaptation method. Acclimatize Dungeness crabs to our environment. ”
All the ponds add up to about four or five hundred acres. Lined along the coast, mainly in the Mr. Ross Fishery.
Dozens of ponds are mainly divided into 3 areas, one side is 100 acres of water source primary purification area, the other side is 150 acres of water source secondary purification area, in the middle of the two water purification areas there are 50 acres of main breeding area, a total of hundreds of water tanks, each tank is installed under the aeration outlet.
Looking at these sinks, Qin Shiou couldn't help but speak: "Your investment is big enough." How much does it cost to have so many composite partitions and so many oxygen concentrators? ”
said. He suddenly became vigilant: "Damn, professor, where did you get the research funds?" ”
"I leased these things, and if the technology is useful, then we can buy these equipment, and if it doesn't work, we can return it to them." ”
Qin Shiou nodded, but then felt that something was wrong: "I'm asking where you got the research funds?" ”
Sanders said slowly, "Of course it's through your instructions, boss." ”
Qin Shiou suddenly went crazy: "What do you mean?" When will I give you instructions to buy these devices? ”
"It's not bought, it's rented," Sanders said. Moreover, when you hired me at that time, didn't you give me a checkbook, so that I could directly use the funds to conduct research? ”
"Well, I'm the one who gave you the power to use your research money as you please. But -- I don't care if you buy it or lease it, I just want to ask how much it costs? "Qin Shiou's egg hurts a lot, this Sanders seems to be an intellectual and honest person, but why is he always a cheater?
Sanders said: "It's not much, it's just 50,000 yuan." ”
Qin Shiou nodded, it is true that there is not much money, so let him do it well.
"Fifty thousand yuan, this is a week's rent." The old professor then added.
Qin Shiou suddenly exploded: "Is it 200,000 a month?" I bought so many crabs, and it only cost 300,000 yuan! ”
The old professor tirelessly persuaded: "Vision, BOSS, you have to take a long-term view." Why is your pattern so small? Yes, the investment is a bit too much now, but if it is done, it will be ten times or even hundreds of times the income! ”
Qin Shiou is crazy, you dare to laugh at my pattern? This batch of crabs will definitely survive, even without this so-called new technology, he can ensure that the Dungeness crabs survive in the North Atlantic. So, in that case, why waste money?
Professor Sanders thought that Qin Shiou was worried about money, so he further explained: "BOSS, don't think that this breeding system can only raise Dungeness crabs, in fact, it can also complete symbiotic breeding. ”
"You see these seawater purification areas, which can be used to breed precious seafood at will, such as sea cucumbers, moray eels, lobsters and so on. And in this kind of place, the marine organisms grow faster than in the ocean, and the meat quality is better! ”
The most important part of this breeding system is the 50 acres of main breeding area in the middle, and the water used in the breeding area is seawater transported from the North Pacific Ocean, and all the Dungeness crabs are put into it, which is densely crowded.
Qin Shiou was worried that these Dungeness crabs would be squeezed to death in it, Sanders shrugged his shoulders and said: "Dungeness crabs do not have a large demand for space, they need enough oxygen, and I use the main breeding area to remove oxygen through aeration equipment, in addition to using a water pump to accelerate the flow of seawater between the main breeding area and the purification area, which can ensure the survival rate of Dungeness crabs." ”
Later, Sanders introduced that after the study of Dungeness crabs, a research team from the University of Toronto believes that the reason why Dungeness crabs leave the North Pacific Ocean and enter the North Atlantic Ocean may be related to the oxygen content of the two waters.
As we all know, crabs' lungs are under the carapace and they get oxygen by filtering seawater, and they may not get oxygen in the same way as ordinary crabs, once the oxygen content of the seawater falls below a certain critical point, they cannot absorb enough oxygen, resulting in a large number of deaths.
The North Atlantic Ocean has a lower oxygen content than the North Pacific Ocean, which may be a constraint on the survival of Dungeness crabs, and Sanders started to improve the ability of Dungeness crabs to absorb oxygen from seawater, so that they can adapt to a harsher living environment.
