Chapter 35: The Strange Death of the Sunfish

Unconsciously, Zhang Yaohua and they have moved away from the coastline.

Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared in the sky and pressed towards them.

Shui Wang and the others were shocked, and before going out, they looked at the weather forecast, and there was no problem before going to sea.

"Do you want to keep walking?" Zhang Yaowei asked.

If it's a big ship, don't worry too much, as long as it's not a typhoon, the general wind and waves can withstand it.

Besides, Lu Xun said that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.

But in a small boat like theirs, if a larger wave hits, it is likely to be the consequence of capsizing.

Can't bet.

"This kind of dark cloud should not become the climate." Zhang Yaohua analyzed.

Don't look at this kind of dark clouds as terrible, but there is only such a mass, and the strength is weak, at most it is just rain. Will they be afraid of rain? They are just afraid of the wind.

After a while, dark clouds drifted over Zhang Yaohua's heads.

The whole day was dark, and the sun didn't shine in at all.

This dark cloud was a bit big, and it took more than 20 minutes for Zhang Yaohua and the others to escape from the range of the dark cloud and see the light of day again.

To be honest, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats just now, which was too depressing. Fortunately, there is no danger and it is safe to pass.

"Look, it's a sunfish."

Zhang Yaohua looked at the sea in front of him and saw a huge sunfish, which had not yet been bitten by something. The sunfish dragged its mutilated body and continued to survive.

The sunfish is one of the largest and most exotic fish in the world.

Their bodies are round and flat, like a large saucer. The body and belly each have long, pointed fins, but the tail fin is almost non-existent, making it appear as if a piece has been cut off from the back.

It is called differently in different places.

For example, the United States and Britain call it the ocean sunfish, Spain calls it the moonfish, the Germans call it the swimming head, and the small day is called the mambo.

"It's not dead, it's tenacious." Zhang Yaowei slowed down the speed of the fishing boat and admired the sunfish that was still swimming.

Rao is that he often goes to sea, but he also doesn't see sunfish often. The shipowner had told them before that this fish could not be eaten and was not tasty.

"Tenacious fart, this fish has the most glass heart, and the way to die is very strange." Zhang Yaohua said.

"What's weird?" The second brother looked puzzled.

He really hadn't heard of the saying that the sunfish died strangely.

"I heard that if the sun is too strong, it will die; Blisters can also die if they get into their eyes; Excessive tension can also die; If the salt content of the sea water is too high and leaves spots on the fish, the sunfish will be hit too hard; Even because of the death of a companion, the blow is too big, and so on. ”

The various strange ways of dying sunfish have long been spread all over the Internet, and they have been ridiculed for their glass hearts.

You tell me, it's tenacious?

The sunfish in front of him is indeed alive, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it will not live long.

"Ahh Really? Zhang Yaowei's three views exploded.

I've seen dead sunfish, but I didn't expect them to die like this.

"Can there be a fake?"

Zhang Yaowei didn't understand.

"This fish is not extinct? It's unreasonable! Zhang Yaowei heard from the previous shipowner that this fish was stupid, and he didn't know how to escape when he watched himself being eaten.

However, Zhang Yaowei didn't know that it was not that the sunfish didn't want to escape, but that his strength did not allow it, and he was powerless.

"People give birth to a lot, and they lay more than 300 million eggs at a time." Zhang Yaohua explained.

As long as I have enough births, I will not be exterminated. As long as you don't wipe out my entire race at once, there is no possibility of extinction.

"Really? But why is it so rare? Zhang Yaowei has been going to sea since he was a child, and he doesn't often see sunfish.

"The survival rate is not high."

Some of the eggs cannot be fertilized and die, some of the eggs and hatchlings will be eaten by ferocious fish, and the newly hatched small fish are very fragile, and a storm will also kill some of the juveniles. After all kinds of disasters, there are not many people who can grow into big fish in the end.

Therefore, although sunfish spawn a lot, due to some natural factors, there are very few sunfish in the ocean, which is very rare.

Zhang Yaohua has learned that only about 30 of the 300 million eggs laid by a single sunfish survive until the breeding season.

The survival rate is 1 in 10 million.

Speaking of which, the sunfish is quite tragic, and their growth history is a history of blood and tears.

When they are young, they are often infested by various predatory fish even if they are gathered in groups, such as tuna and mahi mahi.

Although they are terrifying in adulthood, they lack sufficient self-defense ability and escape skills, so large marine carnivores such as killer whales and sharks will not let them go, and sea lions sometimes hunt sunfish for fun.

Sea lions playing with sunfish are just like killer whales playing with seals and manta rays, which is a virtue.

At this moment, Shui Wang held a harpoon and stuck it in the head of the sunfish.

The sunfish quickly stopped moving, it should be cold.

Ah Hui couldn't help but scold: "Are you stupid? People are good, what are you doing? This fish is not edible, and it cannot be sold for money. ”

"No, big brother, do you call that good? It's all bitten off. At first glance, you know that you can't live! I feel sorry for it, and I give it a good time. ”

Shui Wang even felt that his actions were immeasurable.

It's better than giving other sea creatures a little bit to eat, right?

It's all dead, but it's cruel to watch yourself being eaten.

"It's a pity that the sunfish can't be eaten." Zhang Yaowei said.

"It's not that we can't eat it, it's just that we don't eat it. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan all eat sunfish. ”

The bones of the sunfish are more fleshy and less skinned, and the meat is about 1/10 of the body weight, but its meat is delicious, white in color, high in nutritional value, and the protein content is higher than that of the famous pomfret and hairtail.

After catching the sunfish with a stick, the skin of the sunfish will be peeled off directly, because the skin of the sunfish is so tough that it cannot be used at all.

The skin is tough on the one hand, and on the other hand, the skin of the sunfish has a lot of parasites.

The flesh of the sunfish is crystal clear, like jelly, and it can generally be cut directly to make sashimi, although the meat is relatively hard, the sunfish is very good at absorbing other flavors, and it is more popular to make sashimi in island countries.

On the streets of sticks, sunfish is a street delicacy, and it can be eaten directly by adding chili noodles.

On Taiwan Island, the intestines of the sunfish are very expensive, and there is a famous dish "Miaolong Soup" that is used as the main ingredient, which is crispy and fragrant and makes people appetize.

Even if he heard his eldest brother say that he could eat it, Zhang Yaowei had no intention of catching it.

It is believed that it will not be long before other sea creatures will eat it clean, and it will definitely not be wasted.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Yaohua's pointing arrow was hungry and thirsty.

There are still a few nautical miles away.
