Chapter 207: Oversized Pearls

China basically does not produce king crab, almost all of them are imported, either the United States or Russia.

Live king crabs generally come from Russia, after all, Russia is close to us, so it is easy to transport them.

Here, Zhang Yaohua and they are fishing for a lot, although the sticks on the opposite side are also working hard, but their fishing nets are not deep-water nets, and they can only catch a few occasionally.

Watching the Chinese get rich, their eyes are almost red.

But they didn't dare to provoke.

At the moment, all they can do is memorize this coordinate, bring a deep-water net next time, or rent a crab boat to come out.

"The stick is gone."

"What can I do if I don't go? Watching us catch king crabs? Ah Xing laughed.

They are happy! How much money would I have to earn if I got a boatload of king crabs back?

Now the king crab on the market costs more than 100 yuan per catty. The weight of a king crab is more than five catties, several hundred yuan a piece.

Just now, there were nearly a thousand of them.

"Isn't king crab red? How does this look like golden? In my opinion, it may be that the varieties are different. Someone said.

Zhang Yaohua: "There are three colors of king crab, red, blue and gold. King crabs are almost always golden around February, but red at other times, and turn blue around September and October. ”

So, it's not a matter of the species, but the king crab itself changes color depending on the month.

The blue king crab has an orange-red shell when cooked, and the crab meat has a lighter flavor and is softer and refreshing.

These king crabs must have migrated on a large scale.

Their home base is indeed high-latitude waters, such as the Bering Sea, the waters of the Aleutian Islands, and the Gulf of Alaska, which are areas for Alaskan crab fishing, mainly in the Bering Sea waters.

It's a pity that the small days and waste water are discharged into the sea. Otherwise, Zhang Yaohua wants to go north to get a handful.

After that, they had to fish as far south as they could.

Although wastewater will pollute the world's seas with ocean currents, the concentration will definitely be higher if it is close to Xiaori, and the farther away it is, the lower the concentration will be, and the impact will not be so great.

"Brother Hua, come and see, what is this?" Suddenly, someone shouted.

Everyone leaned over and found a strange creature that looked like a puddle of gelatinous meat, and there were no words to describe how ugly it was.

After Zhu Weiguang saw it, he couldn't say why.

"It's a dropfish." Zhang Yaohua has seen the information of this fish.

The fish with a mournful face, well recognizable, is known as "the ugliest animal in the world", and its name comes from its gelatinous body, which can float effortlessly in the water because of its anatomy.

This fish is soft and collapsed after coming out of the water because there is no tension in the muscle tissue in the body, in fact, it grows quite well in its own growth environment, and it is not as ugly as it is now.

"Can you eat it?" One guy actually asked a question that exploded.

Everyone looked at him and asked, "You dare to eat?" ”

"Ahh Why don't you dare? ”

There are so many disgusting animals that they are called one of the rations of human beings, so why do you dislike other people's drip fish alone?

Zhang Yaohua: "I don't know, I haven't eaten it." ”

There are many marine creatures living in the ocean, and it is said that only five percent of human beings have explored the ocean, and our human understanding of the ocean is even worse than that of space.

Therefore, don't say anything about drip fish, and don't be surprised to see any strange creatures.

"You're awesome! Why don't you eat it once? ”

That kid is really not a picky eater: "Okay! But I don't dare to eat this thing raw, so I'll try it when it's cooked, and I'll tell you when it's delicious. ”

Zhu Weiguang waved his hand: "Thank you, I don't want it." ”

"What is this? How do you look like pearls? "There was also a guy who picked up something the size of a ping-pong ball, with the texture of pearls on the surface, but irregular, like pebbles.

"Thinking too much, huh? How can a pearl be so big? ”

Zhang Yaohua took it and looked at it: "It should be a pearl." ”

"Impossible, right?"

This is clearly beyond everyone's realization.

"It's a pearl, you don't know how big the biggest pearl in the world is, do you?" Zhu Weiguang is also sure that this is a pearl.

In fact, many pearls are not regular spherical shapes.

There are not a few oval shapes or even edged ones. Especially for those very large pearls, it is even more unlikely to be very round.

"How big?"

"The Pearl of Puerto, 67 centimeters, much more than this one." Zhu Weiguang popularized science with everyone.

The Pearl of Puelto is the largest known pearl in the world. Although the pearl was discovered as early as 1996, it was not shared with the world until nearly a decade later.

It was discovered by a Filipino fisherman who had been hiding it in a bag under his bed for years, considering it a mascot.

The one in front of me is less than 10 centimeters long, which is indeed far behind.

"67 centimeters? Are you sure it's not millimeters? ”

"That's it! 67 centimeters, more than half a meter, don't brag so much! How big is a pearl mussel to fit such a big pearl? "The people around me didn't believe it.

Only Zhang Yaohua spoke: "Don't believe it, or there are bigger pearls on the earth, but they haven't been discovered by humans yet." ”

This world is beyond everyone's imagination.

Zhu Weiguang said to Zhang Yaohua: "Brother, have you noticed? Many of the world's super-large pearls seem to have been discovered by Filipino maids. ”

For example, the third-ranked Palawan princess pearl was also discovered by Filipino maids, off the coast of Palawan.

It shows that the sea area near the Filipino maid is easy to breed large pearls.

"There may be a lot of giant clams on the bottom of the sea around here!" Zhang Yaohua guessed.

Giant clams, in fact, are clams. Only clams can give birth to such a large pearl.

As we all know, the size of the clams is very huge, and there are not a few that are more than a meter wide.

The shell of the clams is a treasure in our country itself.

"Put an underwater robot down and have a look?" Zhu Weiguang suggested.

Anyway, now the king crab is also caught.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yaohua bought several underwater robots, which were originally intended to be used to salvage shipwreck treasures. After all, there are many depths that we humans can't go down to, and we can only rely on machines.

If it were the kind of underwater archaeology, underwater robots would not be able to do anything.

But if you just pick up some treasures from the shipwreck, it will be enough.

"Okay!" Zhang Yaohua also wanted to test the performance of underwater robots.

Underwater autonomous robots are a well-suited tool for searching, investigating, identifying, and salvaging seabed operations.

At present, China has underwater robots that can dive more than 6,000 meters, which are jointly developed by China and Russia.

Zhang Yaohua doesn't need to be so high-tech, it is enough to dive to more than 1,000 meters.
