Chapter 238: Meet the Whale Cub Again
The bubbles in the sea exploded on the surface of the sea, and the sampan boat shook violently with a swell.
Chen Wenchao, who had never seen this kind of scene, was so frightened that his legs were a little weak, and he looked at the deep sea in horror.
"Brother Yu, what the hell is down here?"
Li Duoyu said solemnly: "Maybe there is a sea monster." ”
After hearing this, Chen Wenchao's face instantly darkened, if he really encountered a sea monster, his best swimming would really be useless.
When he was a child, he often heard the older generation say that there were terrifying monsters in the sea, but he didn't think that he would really run into them.
Chen Wenchao said anxiously: "If there is a sea monster, what should we do?" ”
Li Duoyu smiled embarrassedly, he originally just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't think that Chen Wenchao really believed it, seeing his anxious appearance.
Li Duoyu said unhurriedly: "What else can I do, hurry up and run away." ”
As the sound of "click" became more and more dense, Li Duoyu had vaguely guessed what was on the bottom of the sea.
Although it doesn't attack fishing boats, it's better to stay away from them if they don't have eyes and crash their fishing boats away when they float.
Just as Li Duoyu guessed, less than thirty meters away, seven or eight deep-sea beasts rushed out of the water and spewed out columns of water.
The scene was spectacular.
At this moment, there was a seagull that was touching the waves in troubled water, and it was sprayed by the water column, and it was shot down by the water column on the spot.
After Chen Wenchao saw that it was a whale, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, fishermen on the beach would be afraid of sharks, but they were not particularly afraid of whales.
Because most of the whales are docile, there have been no incidents of whales attacking fishermen on Dandan Island so far.
Huge body,
Huge heads,
Tiny eyes.
The sperm whale should be the most recognizable whale.
Li Duoyu remembered that the last time he saw them, it seemed that it was half a year ago, and he didn't expect to encounter sperm whales again so soon, and he didn't know if it was the last time.
Sperm whales, like killer whales, are toothed whales and are relatively ferocious predators, with each adult sperm whale having more or less scars on its head.
Most of these scars were left from the fight with the king squid.
Speaking of which, the sperm whale is a relatively strange type of whale.
Obviously, there are so many fish, shrimp and crabs in the sea, but it doesn't like to eat, so it likes to get along with the king squid in the deep sea.
When you are hungry, you dive into the deep sea.
Catch a few king squid and eat them.
It is precisely because of this habit that sperm whales are the deepest mammals, and it is said that they can dive to the bottom of the sea at a depth of two or three thousand meters to hunt.
Li Duoyu looked at these sperm whales, but these whales all looked the same, even if there was the female whale he had saved among these whales, he couldn't tell the difference.
With a series of "click" sounds, more than a dozen sperm whales ignored Li Duoyu's sampan boat and swam away in the direction of the deep sea.
And when they passed by the fishing row, they also heard the sound of whales, a small whale about seven or eight meters long, circling around the fishing row.
Two hundred and five on the fishing row kept barking at the calf and kept a safe distance from it.
After Li Duoyu's fishing boat approached, the little whale swam several times against the fishing boat, and then surfaced, looking at Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao with those small eyes.
Then he went into the sea and spat out a huge bubble, as if to please them.
"Brother Yu, this whale won't be the cub of the mother whale we saved earlier."
Intuition told Li Duoyu that the sperm whale in front of him was most likely the cub of the stranded mother whale back then.
Li Duoyu looked around and found that there was no mother whale around the calf, and depending on the situation, it should be gone.
After all, once the sperm whale is stranded for too long, there will be problems with the body, and she will not be able to live for too long, but fortunately, her cub survives.
Li Duoyu looked at the head of the cub, which was already scarred like those adult sperm whales, and saw that the situation had begun to hunt in the deep sea independently.
Seeing that the calf was so close to humans, Li Duoyu did not try to pet it, but picked up a long stick and pumped it directly on the calf's head.
The pain-biting little sperm whale instantly burrowed to the bottom of the sea, circled the fishing row several times, and made a series of "click" sounds.
Li Duoyu, who couldn't understand the "whale language", picked up a long stick and slapped the water many times, making a loud noise, trying to drive the little whale away.
After seeing Li Duoyu beating the calf, the two hundred and five also bared their teeth and grinned, and kept barking at the calf.
The frightened calf, like a frightened bird, fled in the direction of the whale school without looking back.
Chen Wenchao looked at Li Duoyu with a puzzled expression: "Brother Yu, this should be the one we saved last time, why did you drive it away." ”
Li Duoyu said lightly: "The best way to help it is to keep it away from humans, we are too close to it, it will only harm it, many fishermen like to catch whales." ”
Chen Wenchao suddenly realized that when the sperm whale was stranded, the fishermen on the island wanted to kill it and eat it for the first time.
Luckily they were the ones who ran into them today, and if they had been bumped into by other fishermen, the calf might have been dragged to the docks.
Li Duoyu was here in the fishing row, touched the head of the two hundred and five, because he had not been free to come to the fishing row recently, he found that it was a little depressed, and its hair became less colorful.
Li Duoyu touched the head of the two hundred and five: "Shall I find you a female dog?" ”
"Wang."
"Then I'll find you the first man and let you fight every day."
"Wang, Wang, Wang."
"Uncle Ling, are you scolding me?" Li Duoyu patted the dog's head and asked, "Do you like white dogs or black dogs?" ”
"Wangwang."
"Is it a black dog, I'll try to buy you the big black in the village."
Chen Wenchao on the side was quite speechless, and he really found the big black in the village, and it was estimated that he would be beaten every day.
……
After arriving at the pier.
It was already dark, and Li Duoyu did not rush home, but carried a bucket to the eel breeding factory.
After arriving there, Li Duoyu found that the lights were still on, and the second sister-in-law was still in the factory and cleaning.
Now the second sister-in-law is a regular employee of the breeding factory, and since receiving her salary, she has not gone to the dock to weave nets for others.
Instead, they come to the eel factory every day, and even if they don't have anything to do, they will pick up a broom to sweep the eel factory and catch the fallen leaves in the pond.
If you don't consider her character of taking advantage of small advantages and breaking her mouth, from a certain point of view, this is definitely a good employee that bosses like.
"Second sister-in-law, you haven't gone back yet."
Zhu Xiuhua glanced at him and snorted: "I'm not afraid that I will go back too early and be bumped into by you, and when the time comes, you will try to deduct my salary." ”
Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, he picked out a little bit, but he really wouldn't deduct people's wages casually.
Li Duoyu poured all these transparent eel fry into the treated cement pond.
Then, he turned on the electric light on the top of the pool and observed the eel fry.
By the way, some dead and injured eel fry are scooped up and thrown away, leaving only healthy eel fry.
The first step in eel farming.
It is to allow the eel fry to gradually adapt to the freshwater environment, which is known as desalination culture.
Although the eel itself has a very strong seawater and freshwater conversion function, after being caught from the sea, it cannot be released in an environment full of fresh water, and there must be a process of salinity transformation.
Generally, it should be placed in fresh water with a salinity of about 0.7 first, so that the eel fry can adapt to a period of time, during which there is no need to rush to feed, and after the desalination is completed, the bloodworms can be fed.
In fact, Li Duoyu is also very bottomless in his heart, this breeding process, there is a very important breeding process, that is, the pond heating.
But in this era, water heaters are very rare, and Li Duoyu really can't buy a set of thermostatic equipment suitable for the pond.
According to his farming experience, the only way to increase the temperature is to speed up the opening of the eel fry.
Without constant temperature equipment, it will only be cultivated more slowly, but it will not have much impact.
After putting the eel fry into the pond, Li Duoyu observed it and then left the eel farm and returned home.
