Li Xiaofeng carefully identified it and found that it was a juvenile green sea turtle.

The green sea turtle is the largest of the sea turtles, and the adult green turtle can weigh more than 100 kilograms.

Green sea turtles are omnivorous animals that feed on seaweed and seaweed, as well as jellyfish in the sea. Because of the accumulation of a lot of green pigment in body fat, it is called a green sea turtle.

In fact, its appearance looks more like a black stone from a distance, so it is also called a black turtle and a stone turtle by fishermen.

It is widely distributed in China's coastal waters such as Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, etc.

Due to environmental pollution and fishing, its living environment has suffered serious damage, and the number is getting smaller and smaller.

Now it has been included in the "List of National Key Protected Wild Animals" and is now a national first-class protected animal!

The poor little fellow, covered in barnacle parasites, looked like a rugged gray stone from a distance.

The reason why it hit the fishing boat may be to ask for help from humans, or it may be to use this impact to knock the barnacles off its body.

Once turtles and whales are parasitized by barnacles, it is basically difficult to get rid of them for life without the help of humans!

As barnacles increase, some barnacles even parasitize into their flesh, which can make them very painful and even cause some turtles and whales to die as a result.

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly stretched out his hand and wanted to scoop it up from the water.

The turtle also seemed to sense Li Xiaofeng's kindness and did not dodge.

Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia also surrounded them.

After the little turtle was fished out by Li Xiaofeng, it was put in the cabin.

Probably because of nervousness, it tried to move its body in the cabin, but because it was parasitic with dense barnacles, it made it very difficult to move, and the sight could not help but make people feel pity.

The shells on the back of the baby turtles are covered with layers of barnacles, seven or eight centimeters thick, and covered with some seaweed and seaweed.

And the baby turtle is not only parasitic on its back, but also on its abdomen and tail full of barnacles.

The dense, layered barnacles, although Li Xiaofeng did not have a dense phobia, but his scalp was numb.

Li Xiaofeng fixed the baby turtle with one hand, and took out a diving knife with the other hand, trying to help the baby turtle clean up the thick barnacles on its body.

The baby turtle seemed to understand that humans were helping it at this time, so it stopped struggling and lay quietly in the cabin.

Barnacles on the surface of the tortoise shell are relatively easy to remove, but the further down they go, the more difficult they become.

Barnacles are tightly glued together, as strong as hardened cement.

Li Xiaofeng could only use a knife to warp the barnacles off little by little, and the little turtle had always been very cooperative, lying quietly on the board of the boat.

By the time the last layer of barnacles is cleaned, it becomes even more difficult to clean up because they are tightly attached to the shell.

Every time a barnacle is dropped, Li Xiaofeng needs to use a lot of strength, but this makes him afraid of breaking the shell of the little turtle, so he operates very carefully.

As the barnacles are cleared, you can see that some of the barnacles have grown, and the shells of the baby turtles have been deformed.

Think about the pain of a small thing that we usually feel very painful to attach to our body, and then think about the small turtle that is absorbed by so many large barnacles on our body, and we can feel its pain.

It took Li Xiaofeng more than half an hour to clean up the dense barnacles on the back of the baby turtle.

After cleaning up, it can be seen that the turtle shells on the turtles are deformed in many places, and some are even parasitic by barnacles.

It's really distressing to watch.

Then Li Xiaofeng flipped it over again and began to clean the barnacles in his abdomen. The baby turtle was still motionless and very cooperative.

The number of barnacles in the abdomen is not relatively small, and it is relatively easy to clean. Li Xiaofeng used a knife to warp them off one by one.

After the barnacles on his back and abdomen were cleaned, Li Xiaofeng carefully checked it again and confirmed that the barnacles on the little turtle were cleaned before putting the little turtle in the cabin.

The little one seemed to feel the pressure on his body disappear, regained his vitality, and began to crawl around in the cabin.

Liu Xuexia looked at it very cute, so she took it some small fish prepared as bait and put it in front of it.

The little guy was not polite, and he ate beautifully in the cabin.

After eating and drinking enough, the little one lay motionless on the boat, as if resting.

After such an operation just now, Li Xiaofeng's impatient mood was also greatly relieved, and he began to help untie the rope that was entangled.

The three of them were busy for more than two hours before they untied all the crab pots that were wrapped together and put them away.

The harvest in the crab pot is actually not bad, blue crab, pike crab, orchid crab, red carapace, stone crab and other crabs are added together, and there are more than 30 catties.

In addition, two catsharks of more than one pound, a stonefish of seven or eight taels, octopus and various small trash fish were also harvested.

It's a pity that there are several not small fish in the crab pot, which have died and stinked because no one has collected them for too long.

After the three of them finished collecting the crab pot, they were going to find another place to put the crab pot down.

Li Xiaofeng also picked up the baby turtle that seemed to be asleep and prepared to release it back into the sea. They don't dare to run around with this kind of prison beast.

When the baby turtle entered the water, it began to stir its limbs, as if it had not adapted to the sudden weight of its body, and seemed to be very happy, and spun around in circles, and then looked back again, before swimming into the depths of the sea.

This should be one of the most impressive things in its turtle life.

Li Xiaofeng, Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin also watched it leave.

When it sank to the bottom of the sea and was out of sight, the three of them drove the boat to the new crab pot drop-off site.

I don't know if it's the good luck brought by saving the little turtle, this time Li Xiaofeng sent a small canyon that was not too long on the bottom of the sea.

This place may be because the terrain is recessed, it is not easy to be dragged by trawls, and the canyon is densely packed with pike crabs. This made Li Xiaofeng almost couldn't help but dive down to catch it.

Forget it, it's the same for the crab pot here, it's all your own anyway. Li Xiaofeng seemed to see his family's crab pot burst for the first time.

Li Xiaofeng drove the fishing boat directly above the canyon and directed Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia to start throwing crab pots along the direction of the canyon.

And the density of the delivery is very large.

Normal crab pots are generally 10 meters each.

Here, according to Li Xiaofeng's arrangement, one was cast at 3 meters.

At first, Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin also did not agree to such a large density, but Li Xiaofeng repeatedly assured them that they reluctantly agreed.

In this way, the three of them threw all the crab pots along the canyon before they began to return.
