1165.Capelin Tide (5/5)

After Victoria Day, Qin Shiou and Winnie are going to prepare for their engagement.

The engagement banquet and the like are the responsibility of Winnie's parents, but the rest of the work is on Qin Shiou, he wants to book a hotel, and the guests who came this time have a lot of identities that are not ordinary, so he Torreyek contacted the five-star hotel in St. John's, and I am afraid that he will have to pack a floor for those two days.

When he has nothing to do at night, Qin Shiou will take Winnie to see the displaced shore, and the two of them will walk quietly on the beach with their fingers interlocked, listening to the crisp sound of the waves crashing on the shore, and looking at the little blue starlight, at this time his heart will always be very peaceful.

Soon, the main force of the capelin school arrived, and the fishing grounds became noisy.

One morning, all of a sudden, there are countless palm-length fish on the shore that jump onto the beach under the push of the waves, and the next wave rushes in, sending another batch and taking away a batch, and so on......

Qin Shiou saw this scene through the sea god consciousness last night, but it was far less shocking than seeing it with his own eyes, just as he said to the fishermen when he first saw this scene, shocked with awe, the sea gave birth to so many lives!

The fishermen have been waiting for this day, and when the day comes, everyone stands on the beach and on the pier to watch the scene.

The short-tailed shearwaters in the jungle of the fishing grounds were killed, and these short, fat creatures flew happily against the surface of the sea, enjoying the feast.

At the same time, there are other fish to enjoy, and everyone stands here to see not only the school of capelin, but also the school of other fish, and you can see how rich the fishing ground is at this moment.

The crushed capelin scrambled to swim from the depths. The offshore waters of the fishing grounds seem to be boiling hot water, and the waves are rolling, and the capelin is constantly being slapped and jumping out of the water.

George W. Bush swooped down from the air. As soon as a fish jumped, its claws caught it with precision, and then its powerful wings fluttered and flew straight into the sky.

Nimitz appeared, and Bush let go of the fish in his paws, and the fish writhed in horror in the air and did not wait to fall to the surface. A figure passed quickly, and the large warship bird grabbed the fish with impressive precision and swallowed it into its stomach.

Bush Jr. flew down and up again and again, caught a fish and threw it away. Nimitz flew quickly underneath it, enjoying the gifts brought by his friends.

Father Qin and Mother Qin saw such a scene for the first time, and the second elder exclaimed: "My God, how many fish are these!" Where do these fish come from? How to jump onto the beach. It can't be suicide, right? ”

Sister Qin and her brother-in-law also saw it for the first time. The Miranda family, too, were shocked, and Winnie explained the capelin to them: "At this time of year, the capelin swims out of the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean to feed on the cold Arctic Currents and the Gulf Currents. ”

"Our fishery has the most abundant food and the best water quality, so it always attracts a lot of capelin fish. They will feed themselves in the fishery and then multiply. ”

More capelin arrived this year than last year. Because Qin Shiou left a large number of fish in the fishing ground last year, these fish absorbed the energy of the sea god and spawned a lot. There are large schools of capelin inshore.

However, at certain times, they do not rush to the beach to mate and lay eggs. So, I don't usually see such a scene.

The arrival of a school of capelin is a win-win situation, as they eat the large number of zooplankton and algae in the fishery and continue to have energy to complete the process of reproduction. The natives of the fishing grounds, such as cod and tuna, will prey on them, which is a better food than herring and mackerel.

As the fish crowded on the surface of the sea, they stood on the pier and looked around, as if they were standing in a fish pile.

Slowly, predators appeared, and in swarms as well.

A large cod with a tail more than a meter long surfaced, they are not scattered like capelines, but in a tight strip pattern, like a giant python several kilometers long and hundreds of meters wide, appearing, and schools of fish converge and swarm to prey on the surrounding capelin.

The cod kept speeding up and slowing down, and the school of fish twisted and twisted, as if the python were writhing its body.

Qin Shiou pointed out some fish to his father, these fish were extremely fat, the color of the upper part of the body gradually changed from brown to gray, and the abdomen faded to grayish-white: "That is the famous Atlantic cod, which was the most awesome cod in our fishing grounds in the past, there were a lot of them, but now there are very few." ”

Father Qin said, "How big can this fish grow?" ”

"More than a meter long."

"It's huge." Father Qin exclaimed.

As soon as his words fell, a large fish that was probably four meters long suddenly jumped out of the water not far away, it had a particularly sharp and long mouth, and after jumping out of the water, its dorsal fin spread out, and it glided on the surface of the water for five or six meters before falling back into the water.

"Atlantic blue marlin!" Qin Shiou answered his father's question in advance, and sure enough, Qin's father immediately shouted: "Oh my God, what kind of fish is this?" Why is it so big? ”

Atlantic blue marlin is distributed in tropical and subtropical waters, Newfoundland fishing grounds are relatively rare, Daqin fishery food is too abundant, and the food contains Poseidon energy can change the habits of species, so some rare fish species have gradually come to the fishing grounds and settled.

Most of the fish, especially the big ones, are accustomed to roaming around the world's waters, cruising oceanic in pursuit of currents and food, and settling briefly when they come across a place that is more suitable for habitation.

After a blue marlin jumped out of the water, several more blue marlin jumped out, Qin Shiou released the Poseidon consciousness to see if there was a school of blue marlin, but now the water is too chaotic to check.

The fishermen high-fived and celebrated, thinking that a school of blue marlin had arrived, and Shaq glared at the fellows and said, "You guys are fart, these are all fishery pests!" ”

Although the Atlantic blue marlin is not listed as endangered, Greenpeace has listed it in the Seafood Red Book since 2010. Canada stipulates that Atlantic blue marlin caught within 200 nautical miles off the coast need to be released, and these blue marlin cannot be caught.

Shaq calls them pests because they are so predatory that the fry eat the eggs and fry of zooplankton and other species of their kind, and as they grow older, they eat a variety of fish, including mackerel and tuna, squid and larvae of the near shore fish.

When they grow up, they will eat bonito, rudder bonito and skipjack tuna, and when they reach three or four meters long, the recipe is even more terrifying, at which point they can eat as large as white four-fin sailfish, 45 kilograms of yellowfin tuna and tuna, and plunder the resources of the fishery.

The sea monster disagreed: "Man, they don't stay in the offshore waters all the time, sooner or later they will return to their position in the deep sea, and then we can hunt them?" ”

The group was chatting and planning how to catch blue marlin, and more schools of fish appeared. (To be continued......)
