Episode 3 Antarctic Krill (3)
"Krill swarm!" The three boys exclaimed together.
Not far from the Fauber, a huge red ribbon-like animal was swimming, two or three hundred meters wide, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance, moving up and down with the current.
If you look closely, you can see that the krill are densely packed with krill, and the body of a single krill is transparent, and you can clearly see the organs of their body, and the red dots on their heads.
"OMG! So many krill! How many days will I have to eat this! Brende exclaimed.
"The guy who knows what to eat!" Vico said.
Lan Nieu was stunned, she had never seen a group of krill, and it was the first time she had seen so many krill, which her mother had bought from the supermarket before, "It's so beautiful!" It's so dense, it's spectacular! ”
"If you do that, there's about 1 to 30,000 krill in a cube," Fusco explains. Their bodies are transparent, but when so many krill are crowded together, they become red. If it's night, you can also see the phosphorescent light coming from their bodies. ”
At this time, the Fauber had already approached the krill swarm, but they didn't expect the krill swarm to turn around and roll the Fauber into the krill swarm, and now they looked more closely.
"Fursco, launch the nets!" Vico reacted, and finally remembered the most important thing of the day.
With a bang, a huge fishing net was launched from the launch port in the bow of the boat.
The nets fell unmistakably into the krill swarm, which was rough but strong, and with a rope tied to each net, the nets flew and pounced on the krill swarm, and in an instant, thousands of krill fell into the nets.
"Fosco, close the net!" Vico commands to.
Fosco immediately took control of the Fauber and began pulling the nets.
"Ahh Not good! The strength of the krill was too great, and the Fauber was dragged forward by the krill again! Fusco suddenly shouted! Before a few people could react, they felt that the Fauber suddenly dived to the bottom of the sea!
"Ahh With an exclamation, Lenny Eucalyptus was unsteady on her feet and fell to the ground.
Although Brende is fat, he is still relatively fast, grabbing Lannieu's hand, pulling her to the seat, and fastening her seatbelt!
Vico was also taken aback, but quickly calmed down, "If this happens, how will Dad deal with it?" Vico recalled anxiously.
"Vico, hurry up and find a way, I can't hold it anymore!" Fusco struggled to grip the lever.
Vico anxiously thought of a way, and through the glass of the cockpit, he saw the icebergs suspended in the sea.
"Yes, Fosco, step back and get around that iceberg!" Vico said, pointing to an iceberg.
Brende was a little strange and hurriedly said, "Oh! Why do you drive to the iceberg? It's not fun to crash into a ship! ”
Fursco understood a little, and said, "Okay, Captain Vico, I can go around twice according to the length of the net!" ”
After saying that, with a single operation, the Fauber sailed with all its strength to the iceberg in front of it, and quickly circled around the upside-down ice peak.
"Okay, Fosco! Turn off the engine, maintain altitude, and stabilize the course! Vico ordered.
Lannie asked curiously, "Brende, what are they doing here?" ”
Brende laughed and said, "Oh! Vico wants to use the weight of the iceberg to consume the physical strength of the krill, so that when the krill are bored, we can close the net! ”
Lan Nieu nodded understandingly, but was a little worried, "Aren't you afraid that the fishing net will break?" ”
"Of course I'm not afraid, this is my dad's super fishing net made of strong fibers! Rest assured! Fosco said as he operated the Fauber.
After a while, the krill were exhausted and the nets began to loosen. Viscoe patted Fursco on the shoulder and shouted, "Close!" ”
Fusco became excited, "Sit down, everyone!" "I saw the Fauber turn around quickly, untie the desire to be wrapped around the ice, pull the lever, and gradually retract the net!
Because the Fauber spun so fast, Vico, Brende, and Lannie were thrown around, and Brende touched the seat in front of him, and a large bag was lifted on his head.
"Fursco! Slow down, I almost threw up breakfast! Have mercy on my head! Ouch! It hurts! Brende said as he grumbled, clutching his head.
Lannie hurriedly reassured Brende, blowing the big bag on Brende's head, "It's okay! It won't hurt if I blow it for you! ”
Fosco laughed and said, "Okay! It will make you eat a few more krill to comfort your huge stomach! Hahaha! ”
The nets were finally dragged into the cabin, and several people immediately rushed out of the wheelhouse, came to the cabin, and jumped happily at the krill piled up like a hill.
Brende picked up a few krill, found a few ice cubes on the boat, sandwiched the krill between two ice cubes like a burger, and ate them with a clatter, "Uh-huh!" It's delicious, the fresh krill is so delicious! ”
Looking at Brende's eating appearance, several people laughed wildly again.
It's about to be the polar night of Antarctica, and the night of the whole Antarctic is slowly deepening, and against the dark blue sky, the town of Vicley is full of laughter, but in a house made of ice, a roar comes out, "Fosco, you're skipping class again!" Mr. Uulich called me. I even dared to steal my father's boat out to sea! Ass turned over! Then came the screams of Fusco in the snapping sound - "I don't dare anymore!" ”!
Vico Tips:
Hello everyone, I'm Vico, and today we introduce Antarctic krill:
Krill is the collective name of all animals of the krill family, with a body length of 6~95 mm, and the krill of Antarctica is also called "black-eyed shrimp".
Antarctic krill are generally 2 to 6 cm long, with the largest being 15 cm, and they have a pink body with a cuirass partially attached to the carapace. In addition, Antarctic krill have biological fluorescent organs that can produce light.
In general, krill have a lifespan of about 3 years, while Antarctic krill can extend their lifespan to 6 to 8 years. The reserves of Antarctic krill are very amazing, about 400 million ~ 600 million tons, and there is a theory that there are 5 billion tons. Krill live in colonies, sometimes reaching a density of 10,000-30,000 individuals per cubic metre, like a red mist. It plays an important role in the Southern Ocean food chain, serving as food for seals, whales and penguins, as well as an important marine living resource.
