1244.Prawns and tongues (4/5)

"That's Mr. Sanders Wharton, a renowned marine biologist, founder of international marine genetic engineering, and senior professor of marine studies at the University of Toronto!"

Qin Daguan unscrupulously stretched out his hand to the side, introduced Sanders, the expert on the back, and then continued: "I am just under the teaching of Professor Sanders, using scientific breeding methods, you can try it, I think a stupid guy like me can achieve a little bit of success, and everyone will definitely be able to achieve greater achievements." ”

So a group of fishermen turned their enthusiastic gaze to Sanders again. The old professor kept blowing up the nuclear bomb in his heart, he really wanted to say to Qin Shiou, can you cheat your father again? It's a pity that this occasion does not allow it.

After the Q&A session, the staff of the Fisheries Department handed out a comic-booked booklet to everyone, and Qin Shiou opened it after getting a copy, which was an introduction to the core catches of the owners of each fishing farm.

In the past, similar auctions have not been held, not only because of the way of thinking, but also because the fishermen are more resistant to it.

Just like the ranch that raises cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, the mortality rate of livestock and poultry in different pastures is different, and the quality of the livestock and poultry raised is also different.

Therefore, every successful fishing farm also has their trump card seafood, which is a secret that they cannot reveal, and they rely on this thing to make money, and naturally, it is their things that the pirate ship wants to steal the most.

Fishermen don't want their trump card seafood exposed, as for resource exchange? Forget it, they can guard their own one-third of an acre, and they don't need to exchange it.

Not now, with the economy in the doldrums and foreign exchange exports hitting record lows, they can't afford to rest on their laurels any longer.

And, most importantly, Qin Shiou is willing to share his fishery resources. Compared with the Daqin Fishery that can support a brand, their ace seafood is really bullshit.

Qin Shiou opened the comic book and saw that the first picture was related to his fishing ground, which introduced turbot, and the full name was turbot in the North Atlantic, because the turbot in the Daqin fishery has changed slightly. A silver line of silver scales appeared on the back, hence the name.

However, this turbot has not yet become an independent species, according to the law of natural science, to become a new species, it needs to produce reproductive isolation, and the turbot in the Daqin fishery naturally does not have it.

A fisherman sitting in front of Qin Shiou flipped through the comic strips, turned around and asked eagerly, "Hi, Qin, are you interested in selling your silver-scaled turbot fry?" I'm willing to pay a high price. ”

Donald next to him pouted: "Old Verne." Don't think about good things, even if Qin is willing to share this fry, it will be auctioned tomorrow, if you want to buy it, then be prepared to boil enough money. ”

Verne, the fisherman, laughed twice, turned his head and continued to look through it.

The second image is still related to the Daqin fishing grounds, this time with Atlantic halibut.

This fish can grow to quite a large size, two or three meters long, no problem. They are demersal fish that live on a rocky or muddy bottom at a depth of 50-2000 meters. It is found in the North Atlantic Ocean from Labrador and Greenland to Iceland, the Barents Sea and the Bay of Biscay in the south.

The halibut in Daqin Fishery is not only big, but also full and fat, and the halibut sauce barbecue that is popular in New York now uses the fish segment of Daqin brand halibut, which is expensive, but of course it is also delicious and nutritious.

Qin Shiou looked at it. Then look for the seafood he is interested in.

Speaking of which, the seafood in his fishery is abundant enough, but it is not enough to support him to make a seafood brand.

According to his and Butler's vision, the Daqin seafood brand must cover at least 100 kinds of seafood. Of course, the more the merrier.

Turning to the fourth page, a shrimp appeared in his field of vision: a modified version of the Penaeus monodon.

There are only 28 species of prawns in the world, including 7 species on the Atlantic coast of the Americas, 6 species on the Pacific coast, 14 species on the Indo-Western Pacific, 1 species on the Pacific and Mediterranean Oceans, and 1 species on the West African coast. Some of the more famous ones are Japanese prawns, Chinese prawns, and giant prawns.

This monodon shrimp on the comic strip is a very capable shrimp that can grow up to 30 centimeters long, and one can weigh a pound.

This kind of shrimp can not only grow very large, but also the meat is delicious and nutritious, their body shell is relatively solid, can withstand the hand, and the endurance of drying out of the water and exposed to the air is very strong, so that live shrimp can be sold.

Qin Shiou looked at it with interest, this kind of shrimp came from a fishing farm in Nova Scotia, and the owner of the fisherman was named Nick Du, and his surname looked like Chinese, which made him even more interested.

Aquatic products that can be used in comic strips are very attractive, and the difference between this improved version of Penaeus monodon is that it can adapt to colder waters!

Don't look at this improvement point is very small, but it can play a huge role in the promotion of Penaeus monodon.

Penaeus monodon is the largest species of shrimp, they are very disease tolerant, have wide salinity, can tolerate high temperatures and low oxygen, but are weak in adaptability to low temperatures. Unfortunately, winter temperatures in the North Atlantic are not suitable for the growth of Penaeus monodon.

The Ministry of Fisheries pays great attention to protecting the privacy of fishery owners, and only briefly introduces the advantages of shrimp, and there is no other specific information, which ensures the confidentiality of this shrimp farming technology to the greatest extent.

Although there is a strong level of intellectual property protection in Canada, farming technology does not fall under the protection of intellectual products, which is why the Japanese have kept Wagyu cattle farming techniques in the crotch of their pants, and once they say it, they will be learned by others.

Showing Penaeus monodon to Sanders, Qin Shiou asked in a low voice, "How about breeding this?" Can you do it? ”

Because the old professor has successfully cultivated Dungeness crabs, now is the time when his confidence is bursting, he studied it and said firmly: "Yes, there is no problem!" ”

Qin Shiou nodded with satisfaction, then continued to look down, and then saw another aquatic product of interest, that is, a small tongue sole.

Tongue sole also belongs to the category of flounder, Qin Shiou's hometown called tongue fish, this fish is rich in protein and fat, delicate and delicious, nutritious and delicious, very popular.

There are also tongue soles in the fishing grounds, and it is a more precious semi-smooth tongue sole, the meat yield of this fish is very high, the taste is smooth, the fish meat is cooked for a long time and does not get old, there is no fishy smell and peculiar smell, it belongs to high protein, rich in nutrition.

Another meaning of preciousness is often scarcity.

Semi-smooth tongue sole is delicious, but they are mainly distributed in the western North Pacific, and there are few in the North Atlantic.

As a result, it is somewhat regrettable that the semi-smooth tongue sole cannot appear on the sales list as a regular product.

Now this small tongue sole gives him hope for large-scale farming. (To be continued......)
