CHAPTER XVI
In any case, Hong Long's little brother of the tiger fish received his scientific name before him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info anyway, it is a stinky and long Latin scientific name, if it weren't for the giant dog fat carp has been taken by the African tiger fish, most of them will also press on this tiger fish. Although the determination of its species has not yet been determined, everyone still conventionally calls this tiger fish the giant tiger fish - most of the people can't pronounce the long scientific name, so they give it a name according to the common name of this series of fish. Of course, now the little brother of the tiger fish has also become the king of carnivorous fish - in its current size, it is already the largest carnivorous fish in existence, and even one of the largest fish.
But Donadoni and Smith knew that there was another monster underneath the water......
Huge water monsters are always very attractive at any given time, especially in such clear photos and videos. If you want to say who is the most popular in the world now, it is of course Hong Long's little brother tiger fish. In fact, there are already Hollywood companies in the United States that want to make a horror movie about the giant tiger fish -- as for the shoddy low-budget video film that directly uses the tiger fish modeled in the video, it has already been shot and released in the famous production company in the United States that specializes in shooting all kinds of low-level water monster films. With the help of the tiger fish craze, he actually made a fortune.
But all this has nothing to do with Hong Long and Tiger Fish, to say that Hong Long sometimes thinks about watching TV or something - but there is no TV set underwater, and besides, his body is completely a sea dragon now, and those desires about human beings are quite indifferent at all, although there is still curiosity, but the desire to watch TV is very weak. Of course, there is something in the ocean that satisfies curiosity.
For example, shipwrecks.
Hong Long found that he could dive quite deep, and he tried to dive a few times, and then he didn't get used to it until he was about 15,600 meters down, and he turned around and floated. However, his little brother Tiger Fish couldn't dive that deep, and this guy gave up when he was about five or six hundred meters. There was no light at this depth, but it was enough to reach most of the wrecks. And Honglong found the wreckage of the Yamato, the famous flagship of the Combined Fleet in World War II, at the bottom of the sea near Kagoshima. The water depth here is 345 meters, but there are no big fish on the bottom of the sea, and there is no light. This depth of water is nothing to the sea dragon, and the lack of light is a more troublesome thing - although Hong Long has sonar positioning and excellent eyesight, he still can't see. A blue-white thunderbolt erupted from the sea dragon's body that illuminated the bottom of the sea for a moment, and Hong Long found the remains of the bottom of the sea with the help of this light.
Huge steel wreckage was scattered on the bottom of the sea, and two huge steel structures made the sea dragon, which was more than twenty meters long, look like a shallot. Hong Long circled the sunken battleship a few times, lit up the seabed for a few seconds with electricity, and took a good look at the masterpieces of the first class of the empire, "Mi Guo did a beautiful job!" This beautiful explosion! Then the sea dragon floated up and left the bottom of the sea.
Along the way, there were many shipwrecks, many of them rotten steel ships, not only remnants of the Second World War, but also the result of ordinary shipwrecks - most of which were just small fishing boats, of course. Hirotaka is now approaching the waters off the island of Kyushu, known as Hinata Beach, and his reservation is to travel north along the coastline from here to the fishing grounds of Hokkaido through the Tsugaru Strait – another question as to whether he will travel around the Seven Seas after that.
The craze for tigerfish continues, and now the oceanographers and expeditions gathered in Okinawa are not only Donadoni and them, but even the oceanographic expeditions from the National University of Japan have begun to investigate, and of course the main area of activity is in the waters off Iriomote Island, which is the first place where giant tigerfish were spotted. As you can all know, the fishermen here have no record of this fish since ancient times - bragging, and there is no record of this extra-large bony fish in the investigation and research of the nearby waters by various expeditions over the years - otherwise it would be the turn of the second-rate oceanographer Donadoni?
They never found the giant tiger fish again, and if it weren't for the clarity of the video and photos, the rumors of Donadoni's fraud would have been flying all over the place. But careful investigation always yields a catch—fishermen do claim to have found "extraordinarily large" fish in the course of fishing, and some have even kept torn nets and broken lines. One of the biggest pieces of evidence is the broken hook, the large hook used to catch tuna is said to have been bitten off, a certain fish seems to have bitten the hook, but when he pulled, he found that the hook was broken, with strong pulling marks, probably bitten.
As an island nation, Japan is blessed with a unique fishing industry. Of course, Hong Long also feels that this is much better than the East China Sea, which has been reduced by years of overfishing and pollution of the ocean, and the number and variety of fish in the ocean have declined dramatically. In Japanese waters, there are plenty of fish, enough for Hong Long to hunt enough food. Although he can go without eating for a long time, the food he eats at one time is quite terrifying. It's just that the demand for fishing in modern society has always been very large, and 200 years ago, Honglong could have caught enough and large enough fish at will, such as tuna weighing hundreds of kilograms, to fill his stomach, but now it is a bit difficult.
So Hong Long is also thinking about a question - whether to catch those easy prey to eat? Of course, the choice is the human ...... The most on the ocean is actually a fisherman or something, and a person has at least more than a hundred catties, and the fishing boat is easy to sink, and at least five fishermen can be obtained at one time. But Hong Long still didn't want to do this, after all, cannibalism is a more serious problem, although his part as a human being is getting weaker and weaker, but cannibalism still crosses the line in his heart - gnawing those fishermen when he was in Dolphin Bay is another matter, and he didn't eat much.
Since you don't want to eat people, you can only fish honestly, even if you have a hard time. Unfortunately, after years of hunting, the once hundreds of kilograms of tuna have long become extremely rare prey, and most of the tuna can only grow to tens of kilograms or even tens of kilograms. This is more troublesome, the sea dragon more than 20 meters long bites this fish almost one by one, and the tuna is very fast, and it is quite difficult to catch. Then the other option is sardines and other schools of small and medium-sized fish, in fact, if you think about it, if you use your body and electric shock ability, it seems that it is easiest to catch this kind of fish to fill your stomach.
But this involves a situation of competing with Hong Long for food - human fishermen......
