Golden Fishery

v2 Chapter 324: . Arctic ginseng (seeking monthly pass)

  Compared to Shake, Qin Shiou, the hand-handling shopkeeper, does not look like a fisherman.

   After discovering that the sponges in this sea area were so dense and weird, Shaq immediately called Bill Saatchi of Dick Aquatic Vegetation Company, and the two parties agreed to check the water quality the next day.

   Just like ranchers are sensitive to diseases, fish farmers are also sensitive to abnormal fish and sea creatures, because you don’t know when nature will take you with you.

   After Bill came with two so-called experts, the experts collected water and sponge samples and went back to the laboratory for analysis.

  A day and a half later, Bill rushed over by boat, and put a bunch of reports in front of Qin Shiou when they met.

  Seeing this guy's face full of anxiety, Qin Shiou hung his heart, and immediately asked, "Isn't there another bacteria in my water?"

  If this is the case, Qin Shiou can only raise his **** to the sky, and he can’t raise lobsters on a large scale. What can’t be raised this time? Isn’t it because you can’t raise sea cucumbers?

  Bill shook his head vigorously and said, "No, this time the relationship with you is not big. It's the North American lobster market, God, the North American lobster market may be hit by an earthquake this year!"

   "What's the matter, slow down, the North American lobster market is going to be an earthquake this year? My fishing farm is also related to the entire North American market? Isn't this bullshit?" Qin Shiou couldn't help but swear in the end.

Bill smiled embarrassedly and explained: "I was too anxious just now to explain things clearly. There is not much correlation between these test sheets and the news I notified you. The results on the test sheets show that your water quality is okay. These sponges are common types in North American waters. The content of various elements in the body is also very balanced, which is very suitable for sea cucumber food..."

   "Man, what I want you to find out is not this, but why those sponges gather in such a water area?" Qin Shiou frowned and asked.

  Bill stretched out his hands helplessly. Said: "We haven't found the reason, Qin, don't worry, this is nothing terrible, isn't it? It's just a gathering of some normal jellyfish. In addition, today I will tell you another terrible news..."

  Take out a newspaper from the test sheet. This is the first page on the homepage of the well-known local fisheries news in Newfoundland: The four major offshore waters in North America have sounded the lobster fungus alarm!

  Take out another newspaper and open it. This time it is the famous "Globe and Mail". The headline on the inside page: Red Alert, Lobster Doom!

  Qin Shiou didn’t pay much attention to the news. He went online to chat with friends and spat, that is, he ran to refresh forums such as Hupu Maopu, Sohu and Sogou, so for this hot news that was just released last night. Not much is known.

Asking Qin Shiou to watch the news, Bill said excitedly: "I am too sensitive enough, I am too sensitive enough! When I first found Gaffigiella lobster here, I should have expected this to happen! Sure enough, this Not a disaster in a fishery, but a disaster in the entire North American lobster industry!"

  According to several newspapers, the fisheries departments of the United States and Canada have received sporadic reports recently. He said that his own fishery or the local public fishery had detected the lobster Gaffiaella, and I hope the government can solve it.

  This kind of bacteria is unknown to the outside world. Many people have never heard of it. Only fishermen who rely on lobsters for food will be afraid of it.

In fact, Gaffchiella lobster is not that terrible. It is not a virus that can be transmitted through the air like SARS. It is a fungus. It can only cause sepsis and die if it penetrates the body through the damaged shell of the lobster. The lobster carapace is intact. There is no need to worry about this fungus.

  It looks like this. Gaffiella lobster does not seem to be as terrible as its brother, the lobster plague fungus.

  However, the problem lies in such a link. We all know that lobster is a creature, and I like to fight when it hurts. Fight between lobster and lobster, between lobster and crab, between lobster and fish, or even between lobster and stone...

  As a result, the problem is very serious. The shell of a lobster is too prone to breakage, and once the broken shell fungus invades and causes sepsis, the lobster will undoubtedly die.

  In addition, another terrible part of lobster Gaffchiella is its infection of shrimp larvae. The crustacean of lobster larvae lacks a layer of chitin that can block this fungus, and it is very easy to be infected. As long as the fungus is not extinct, the lobster fry in this area is almost difficult to survive.

  To exterminate a species, as long as its larvae are exterminated, Gaffigiella lobster does just that.

  Neither Canada nor the United States paid any attention to these reports, but when the reports flew from Florida, Massachusetts, Ontario, and Newfoundland like snowflakes, they knew that something was wrong.

  The two countries’ marine fisheries departments have joined together to carry out a survey, and the results are staggering: in the coastal waters of North America’s Atlantic Ocean, the most serious lobster Gavkis infection in history has broken out!

  In fact, this incident did not happen without warning. For Qin Shiou, he did not understand at the beginning why there are abundant lobsters in the deep waters but his own fishery does not. If he carefully scans along the coastal waters, he will find that not only does his Daqin fishery have no lobsters, but other fisheries do not...

  No, Qin Shiou shuddered suddenly. There were lobsters in his own fishery, and more than 100,000 lobster cubs survived. Yesterday I saw them carrying sponge fragments all over the place...

  Thinking so wildly, a ray of light suddenly gleamed in Qin Shiou’s mind, and the whole thing was strung together:

He bought the lobster farm after buying Mr. Ross’s fishery. In order to prevent the shrimp fry from being eaten by big fish, they were raised in Mr. Ross’s fishery at that time. Now a large number of sponges gather in Mr. Ross’s fishery, and the sea surface depends on the plankton in the water for a living. Most plankton eats decay for a living...

The whole thing should be like this, Mr. Ross’s fishing grounds also had lobster Gaffchiella. After the shrimp larvae entered, 90% of them died and rotted, and then caused the appearance of a large number of decaying plankton in that sea area. These plankton eventually attracted Here comes the sponge. In other words, it nourishes the vigorous reproduction and growth of sponges, because after all, sponges do not have the ability to move independently.

  Thinking of this, Qin Shiou was relieved. As for the so-called lobster red alert? That's a government business, and it doesn't have much to do with him as a bullshit. It's best to have all the lobsters near the sea disappear, so that the 100,000 lobsters in his fish farm will be worth the money.

  Send away excited Bill. Qin Shiou was in a good mood, so he searched the Internet for news about Gaffchiella lobster.

  As a result, in the United States and Canada, this piece of news is a big deal, but the reports are not very concentrated, and most websites are only used as scraps to report.

  All websites and media have an attitude. People who like to eat lobster have had bad luck in the past two years, or they will not eat it. Or be prepared to spend a lot of money on European lobsters.

Knowing that on the second day of the outbreak of the lobster Gavkiszella, the Newfoundland Summer Cup township combined basketball game ended. A small town named Xishui Town won the championship. It is said that this town is a traditional strong team in the basketball game. .

  Qin Shiou played two games, and they won both games. In the third game, he went home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

  The Hughes brothers tried their best to stay, but it is impossible for Qin Shiou not to go home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with his parents for the indifferent basketball game. Therefore, the lack of the main force resulted in Farewell Town's failure to take a historic step, and it still stopped outside the top sixteen.

  Of course, this is just an indifferent game that mediates the mood of everyone's life. Canadians are not keen on basketball. They still like ice hockey that Qin Shiou can't understand at all.

  Ice hockey is the favorite sport of Canadians. There is no one. The ice hockey league NHL is one of the largest leagues in North America.

  A few days later. Qin Shiou is studying the problem of sea cucumber farming. Now the species of cultured sea cucumber is determined, that is, the famous Arctic ginseng.

  The Arctic sea cucumber is native to about 30 feet underwater in the North Atlantic Ocean, Nova Scotia, not far from the Farewell Island. It is rich in nutrients and has a protein content of more than 60%. Sea cucumber mucopolysaccharide accounts for about 15%, rich in sea cucumber saponins, vitamins and trace elements. Very low fat content, no cholesterol, it is the top sea cucumber on the world market, and the price is high.

  With the current increase in marine pollution, the output of wild Arctic ginseng has become less and less, and it has become a veritable noble food. Most of the farmed Arctic ginseng circulates on the market.

  Cultivated arctic ginseng and wild arctic ginseng are grown in the sea, but the growth environment is different. The former is raised in captivity and only needs to be fed and fed, while the latter has to find food by itself.

Bill suggested that Qin Shigulls also raise Arctic ginseng in captivity. Wild-grown Arctic ginseng is not slow to grow, but difficult to fish. It has similar problems with geoduck. Geoduck burrows into the sand, while Arctic ginseng likes to grow in the cold deep sea. .

   Normally, wild Arctic ginseng is collected in Canada by trawl fishing instead of divers diving. There is no way, because the sea is deep and cold, and manual picking cannot stand, so trawling fishing is very difficult.

The method of artificial breeding of Arctic ginseng is marine raft breeding and submerged cage breeding, so that the Arctic ginseng can be kept in captivity, and it will be sold at that time. Just pull it out of the cage. It is the same as raising chickens and ducks. It is just a land. In a water.

Qin Shiou chose free-range Arctic ginseng. September and October are exactly the time when Arctic ginseng lays eggs-they are different from ordinary sea cucumbers in this regard. For tropical and warm sea cucumbers, they spawn in May and June, but Arctic ginseng is delayed. It has been affected by the environment for so long, this kind of ginseng seedlings are not afraid of heat but not cold.

I bought a thousand heads of ginseng to be produced for 220 yuan per head, 100 jin of small ginseng seedlings at a price of 2,000 yuan per jin, and 100 jin of medium-sized ginseng seedlings at a price of 3,400 yuan per jin. They were stocked in Ross. The waters of Mr. Fishing Ground are basically ignored.

  Three purchasing methods constitute the three generations of Poseidon’s growing old, middle-aged and young. The medium-sized ginseng seedlings are about 60-70 heads per kilogram, and they can be sold in just two or three years.

  Small ginseng seedlings, there are about 500 heads per catty, which can only be produced after six or seven years of cultivation. As for the mother ginseng to be delivered, how many ginseng seedlings they can produce depends on the will of God. Qin Shiou is on the power of the consciousness of the sea god. (To be continued~^~)
