Golden Fishery

After Victoria Day, Qin Shiou and Winnie are about to get engaged.

The engagement banquet and the like are in charge of Winnie's parents, but the rest of the work is on Qin Shiou's body. He wants to book a hotel. Many of the guests who came this time are of unusual identities, so he contacted St. John's For a five-star hotel, I am afraid that a floor will be covered for those two days.

When he had nothing to do at night, Qin Shiou would take Wei Ni to see the drifting coast. The two of them walked quietly on the beach with their fingers intertwined, listening to the crisp sound of the waves hitting the coast and looking at the stars. It will be very peaceful.

Soon, the main force of the capelin school arrived, and the fishing ground became noisy.

One morning, suddenly countless palm-sized small fish jumped onto the beach under the push of the waves, and when the next wave came, another batch would be sent and another batch would be taken away at the same time, and so on.

Qin Shiou saw this scene through the sea god consciousness last night, but it was far less shocking than seeing it with his own eyes. Just as he said to the fishermen when he saw this scene for the first time, he was shocked with awe. what a life

The fishermen had been waiting for this day, and when it came, everyone stood on the beach and on the pier to watch the scene.

The short-tailed fulmars in the jungle of the fishing ground came out, and these short and fat guys flew happily close to the surface of the sea, enjoying the gluttonous feast.

At the same time, there are other fish to enjoy. What everyone stands here is not only capelin fish, but also other fish. You can see how rich the fishing ground is at this moment.

Crowded capelin fish are scrambling to swim over from the deep sea. The offshore waters of the fishing ground seem to be boiling hot water with rolling waves, and the capelin fish are constantly being slapped and jumped out of the water.

Bush Jr. swooped down from the air, and a fish just jumped up, its claws were caught precisely, and then its powerful wings shook, and it flew straight into the sky.

The figure of Nimitz appeared, and Bush Jr. let go of the fish in his claws. The fish twisted its body in the air in horror, before it fell to the surface of the sea, a figure quickly passed by, and the large frigate bird grabbed the fish with amazing precision and swallowed it into its stomach.

Bush Jr. flew down and up again and again. After catching the fish and throwing it away, Nimitz flipped quickly under it, enjoying the gift brought by his little friend.

Qin's father and Qin's mother saw such a scene for the first time, and the two elders exclaimed: "My God, how many fish are these? Where did these fish come from? Why did they all jump on the beach. Could it be suicide?"

Sister Qin and her brother-in-law also saw it for the first time, and Miranda's family did the same.

They were all shocked, and Winnie explained the situation of the capelin to them: "At this time of year, the capelin will swim out from the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean and come to the place where the cold Arctic current meets the warm Gulf Stream to hunt."

"The food in our fishing ground is the most abundant and the water quality is also the best, so it will always attract a large number of capelin fish. They will eat well in the fishing ground and then multiply."

The number of capelin coming this year is more than last year, because Qin Shiou left a large batch in the fishing ground last year. These fish absorb the energy of the sea god to lay eggs in large numbers, so that there are a large number of capelin schools in the offshore.

However, until certain times, they do not wash up on the beach to mate and lay eggs. Therefore, such a scene is usually not seen.

The arrival of capelin schools is a win-win situation. They will eat a large number of zooplankton and algae in the fishery, and continue to use their energy to complete the process of reproduction. The natives of the fishing grounds, such as various cod, tuna, etc., will prey on them, which is a better food than herring and mackerel.

Stand on the pier and look around as the school of fish squeezes out of the water. It seems to be standing in a pile of fish.

Slowly, the predators appeared, also in droves.

Tails of cod over a meter long surfaced, and they didn't scatter like capelin. Instead, they are arranged in tight strips, like a giant python with a length of several kilometers and a width of hundreds of meters. The fish gather together and swarm up to prey on the surrounding capelin.

In this way, the cod continued to speed up and slow down, causing the school of fish to twist continuously, as if the giant python was twisting its body.

Qin Shiou pointed out some fish to his father. These fish are extremely fat, the color of the upper part of the body gradually changes from brown to gray, and the abdomen fades to grayish white: "That is the famous Atlantic cod, which used to be the most powerful cod in our fishing grounds. There are so many of them, but now there are very few."

Father Qin said: "How big can this fish grow?"

"Over a meter long."

"It's so big." Father Qin exclaimed.

As soon as his words fell, a big fish probably four meters long suddenly jumped out of the water not far away. It had a very pointed and long mouth. The rice fell back into the water.

"Atlantic blue marlin" Qin Shiou answered his father's question in advance, and sure enough, Qin's father immediately shouted: "My God, what kind of fish is this so big?"

Atlantic blue marlin is distributed in tropical and subtropical waters. Newfoundland fishing grounds are relatively rare. The sea area of ​​Daqin fishing grounds is full of food, and the food contains Poseidon energy that can change the habits of species. Therefore, some rare fish species have gradually come to fishing grounds and settled down down.

Most of the fish in the ocean, especially the big ones, are used to scurrying in the global seas. They chase ocean currents and food for oceanic cruises. When they encounter places that are more suitable for living, they will settle for a short time.

After one blue marlin jumped out of the water, several more blue marlins jumped out. Qin Shiou released his sea god consciousness to see if there was a school of blue marlin coming, but the water was too messy to check.

The fishermen clapped their hands in celebration. They thought that a school of blue marlin had arrived. Shaq glared at these guys and said, "You guys are congratulating, these are all fish farm pests."

Although the Atlantic blue marlin is not listed as an endangered species, Greenpeace has listed them in the Seafood Red Book since 2010. Canada stipulates that the Atlantic blue marlin caught within 200 nautical miles of the coast needs to be released, and these blue marlins cannot be caught.

Shaq calls them pests because they are so predatory, the fry eat the eggs and fry of zooplankton and others of their kind, and as they grow, they eat a variety of fish, including mackerel and tuna, squid and juveniles Inshore fish.

When they grow up a bit, they will eat bonito, bonito and bonito. When they grow to three or four meters long, the diet will be even more terrifying. At this time, they can eat sailfish as large as white four fins weighing 45 kg. yellowfin tuna and short tuna, plundering fishery resources.

The sea monster didn't take it seriously: "Man, they won't always stay in the offshore waters, sooner or later they will return to the deep sea, and then we can hunt."

A group of people chatted and planned how to catch blue marlin, and more schools of fish appeared. To be continued.
