Golden Fishery
v2 Chapter 594: .The most precious abalone (9/10)
It’s so sleepy, brothers and sisters, vote for those who have votes! ****
Qin Shiou hurriedly bit on not only his own little guy, but also the fish, shrimps, crabs, mussels and turtles in the fishery. Balzac laughed and said, "Don't worry, my boy, we are here to do research, not to be. Butcher’s."
The people even gave the guarantee. Qin Shiou had nothing to say, so he let Kekao No. 2 stay on the pier and took them to the town to eat and stay. Of course, they paid for it themselves.
When eating, Qin Shiou deliberately took them to Father Hickson's, and he also deliberately told him to slaughter the group of people viciously, hoping to drive them away like this.
As a result, there is no poor person on the scientific expedition ship. Even if they don’t use the funds for scientific expeditions given by the state, they can earn money that can be squandered just by contributing their knowledge to famous magazines such as "Nature" and "Ocean".
Knowledge culture can be transformed into money.
After eating and walking on the streets of the spring town, Balzac and Duff and the others showed intoxication on their faces. Duff murmured, "Look, the spring breeze, the green grass, the red flowers, and the birds calling, the scenery of hometown. How fascinating."
Balzac said: "Yes, this is beautiful, and the work we have been doing is to preserve this beauty and protect a more beautiful ocean."
Qin Shiou heard what they said, and felt that it was true that they did not come here for the idea of hitting his fishing grounds, and his performance seemed to be a little bit of a chicken belly, so he dispelled the joint hotel owner's plan to slaughter these people.
While the people on the scientific research ship had not yet started to work, Qin Shiou hurriedly used the sea **** consciousness to send those who saw few people to the bottom of the deep sea, such as swarms of bluefin tuna. Such as the hideous and terrifying sea snake, such as the amazingly long Black Overlord...
The next day, Balzac and others did not study leatherback turtles the first time, but first sorted out the information on their ship.
Does what it says. Balzac invited Qin Shiou on the boat to have a visit, and when Winnie asked, he did not refuse, a very generous and honest old gentleman.
Qin Shiou originally thought that the length of the scientific research 2 was about fifty meters, but when he boarded the ship, he found that he underestimated the ship. The ship has a total length of 70.5 meters, a width of 13.84 meters, a depth of 8.03 meters, a draft of 7.17 meters, and a displacement of 3,424 tons. It can provide accommodation for 26 scientific researchers.
Duff is a very polite scholar. He even personally led Qin Shiou and Wei Ni on a tour, eloquently introducing the facilities on the ship and the like:
"In order to obtain some large items. Our ship is equipped with cranes on the front and rear, which can easily grab the ten-ton submarine boulder. Remember the Martian DD42 meteorite? It grabbed it. Look at how powerful its big claws are!"
"The DPS1 dynamic positioning system is used on the ship, and the ice-level enhanced multi-beam sonar system and acoustic Doppler flow profiler are installed, respectively, with 75kHz and 150kHz. It has a longer coring capability. If your ship needs to change positioning System, then I recommend you to use DPS1."
"Our boat is very noisy. You must be invited on the boat to experience it next time it starts. This will facilitate fish research. Although this boat is not an icebreaker, it is designed to allow it to travel at 2.5 knots at a speed of 2 knots. Sailing in foot-thick ice is amazing, isn't it?"
"The ship is equipped with modern winches with 10,000 meters of cable, including deep-sea towing winches, thermo-salt measurement winches, and hydrographic winches. Our colleagues can collect samples directly from the seabed, and can remotely control a set of hose-type winches through a computer. Come up and down the scientific research equipment. Operate the research equipment to explore the water column and the seabed."
"The most important thing is. Our ship has its own satellite signal receiver, even in the Antarctic and North Pole, it can transmit information to classrooms all over the world in real time..."
Duff took the two to visit the facilities on the ship, and then walked into a cabin. Inside are all kinds of rare marine creatures they collected, which is convenient for research.
In this way, Qin Shiou was eye-opening. He saw many strange creatures that the Seagod’s consciousness could not see on the bottom of the sea, such as luminous fish that can glow in the dark, batfish with terrifying appearance, scorpionfish like a reef, electric rays with grumpy temper, etc. .
"What kind of fish is this?" Winnie asked, pointing to a small, light blue fish with a long oval body and a rounded outline on the back of its head.
Duff smiled and just about to introduce, Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "California Tsing Yi, a very strange fish. It is said that they are all females when they are born, and only part of them become males when they grow to adulthood."
Listening to Qin Shiou’s words, Du Fu nodded and said, “Yes, you’re right. They have strange habits and are one of our research subjects. We want to know whether their gender changes are related to hormone secretion.”
"What's the use of this?" Winnie asked.
Now Qin Shiou had no words. Du Fu smiled and said, "It's very useful. You know, many animals and fish are in a state of unbalanced male-male ratio, and some animals and fish have only one or two females left. Or males, they may become extinct at any time."
"If the cause of the perversion in Tsing Yi, California is studied, maybe it can be used on the animals and fish on the border of extinction, right?" Qin Shiou added.
Duff snapped his fingers and smiled: "Exactly right!"
Qin Shiou continued to walk forward. Behind the bony fish was shellfish. He suddenly narrowed his eyes when he glanced at it. He pointed to dozens of large and small abalones in the fish tank in front of him and asked: "God, don't tell me, this is what BC piebald abalone?!"
These abalones are wrapped in a thick lime half-faced shell, which is a right-handed spiral shell like a big ear. Most of the abalone shells are dark green-brown in appearance, but these abalone shells have exquisite variegation on them, which looks extremely beautiful, just like the legendary British Columbia piebald abalone.
After Qin Shiou asked, Du Fu smiled and said: "Your knowledge is very broad, my buddy, yes, this is the British Columbia piebald abalone. It is rare now. We only found such 55 in Alaska. There is nothing to find."
B.C. piebald abalone, the world’s top abalone, is known as the first freshest in the Seven Seas. It is not only delicious but also very nutritious.
This kind of abalone has strict requirements on the living environment. It needs to grow in absolutely clean cold sea water, and its growth rate is very slow. It takes ten years to grow from abalone fry to the size of the palm of a young child!
B.C. piebald abalone was once Canada’s national treasure. Unfortunately, due to environmental pollution and people’s indiscriminate fishing, they have now disappeared. Ten years ago, the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans imposed a ban on trading. And catch this abalone.
Qin Shiou’s fishing grounds are now rich in species. There are all kinds of fish, shrimps, crabs, mussels, sea turtles and sea cucumbers, but they lack sea cucumbers. What he has always wanted to breed is BC piebald abalone, because he believes that under the protection of the sea god’s energy, this Abalone will definitely become rich in resources again.
Unfortunately, he has not found the shadow of BC piebald abalone after searching for more than a year. Now, the opportunity has finally come! (To be continued~^~)
