Golden Fishery

1502. The next fishing ground

Qin Shiou watched the fishermen work. For Shaq and others, this kind of work was very familiar. They used to work in the fishery, not only to go fishing, but also to help clean up the seaweed grown in the fishery.

Except for seedling farms, there are very few single-direction fishing farms in Canada. Most of them are comprehensive farming. Fish, shrimp, crab, kelp and seaweed are all farmed that can make money. Just like the Daqin Fishing Ground, Qin Shiou also planted Atlantic kelp from the very beginning. Sometimes this thing comes in a good year, and the level of profit is not inferior to that of the catch.

Moreover, the catches will escape, but these marine plants are colonized, and they will grow wherever they are planted.

Geng Junjie and ten people were relatively unfamiliar with these jobs. Shaq arranged for bulls and other senior fisherman, each with an apprentice, to bring them to work.

Qin Shiou watched them work. In fact, this kind of work is relatively simple. There is no need to find the location of the giant algae seedlings, just put down the climbing frame in its sea area.

The structure of the climbing frame is also uncomplicated. It is generally connected with two five-meter-long cultured curved ropes, or a ten-meter-long cultured rope is used to fix it to two adjacent cultured ropes through the connecting rope.

The distance between the breeding ropes is about two meters, and a plastic ball is tied every five or six meters on the breeding ropes to provide buoyancy, which becomes a climbing frame. In the future, after the kelp leaves and vines float up, once they touch these rope frames, they will climb up by themselves and grow along.

The fishermen were busy working, while Qin Shiou released the Poseidon consciousness, and searched for those potential breeding rafts in the sea, with giant algae seedlings on them, and he injected the Poseidon's energy into them.

In terms of living environment, the bay is not the most suitable. Macroalgae are different from ordinary seaweed. They like to grow on the rocks on the bottom of the sea in deep and fast water, especially below the low tide line.

There is no underwater undercurrent in the bay, and the waves are very small. Even if there are waves in this kind of sea area, it is not dead or alive. But it doesn't matter, Qin Shiou's cultivation of giant algae relies on the energy of the sea god. As long as there is sunlight and nutrients, these giant algae can grow faster and better under the improvement of Seagod's energy.

The Seagod's consciousness swam quickly, instilling the Seagod's energy into the giant algae seedlings. And after absorbing the Seagod's energy, a great change began to take place underwater—the giant algae immediately began to grow! Grow at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Macroalgae belong to brown algae, which are the longest family in the algae kingdom. Most macroalgae can grow to tens of meters, and the longest one can even reach meters to meters and weigh up to kilograms. The algae are fixed on the reef by a fixator more than 1 meter long.

What Qin Shiou bought this time is this kind of seaweed, the Boston deep-sea giant algae, which has a growth limit of 300 meters. Americans generally use it to develop new energy when they plant it. Bioenergy is the hottest topic in the 21st century. Macroalgae contain abundant bioenergy.

Under the right conditions, common macroalgae can grow up to centimeters in a day, and Boston deep-sea macroalgae can grow one and a half to two meters. It only takes half a year for this kind of seaweed to grow to its limit, and then it can be produced.

even. If the Boston deep-sea kelp is planted in an environment like the Gulf of Mexico—with warm currents, abundant sunlight, and sufficient nutrients—then they can grow all year round, and the fishermen who collect kelp for a living by the sea can make a living every year. Harvest three or four times.

Qin Shiou took a fancy to the production capacity of Boston's deep-sea macroalgae. He wanted to increase the fishery around Newfoundland in a short period of time. Conventional means were useless, so he needed the power of Poseidon.

In addition, the lifespan of Boston deep-sea macroalgae is generally between 4 and 8 years. Harvesting macroalgae is like harvesting leeks, as long as their lifespan is not terminated, you can harvest a steady stream of leaves and vines.

Qin Shiou has calculated that if one giant algae is planted per hectare of sea surface. Then tons to tons of fresh kelp can be harvested each year.

In order to ensure the demand for nutrients, he puts only one giant algae per hectare. Seagod energy has a huge effect on the transformation of giant algae, and the Daqin Fishing Farm has already experienced it. Because they grow fast, they require a lot of energy, and if they are too densely planted, they will exhaust the land and fish for fish.

Even this is enough, one square kilometer is one hundred hectares, and one-fifth of the fishing ground will be planted with macroalgae. That is to say, based on the minimum harvest per hectare, six million tons of macroalgae can be harvested every year!

This amount is extremely scary, assuming that the feed conversion rate is % - fresh macroalgae cannot be used to make fish feed, it has to be dried. In addition, not every part of macroalgae can be used to make fish feed. In short, even if the feed conversion rate is %, Then relying on this alone, his fishing ground can produce one million tons of fish feed a year!

With the addition of other types of seaweed, it is impossible to supply the entire Canadian fishing ground, but it is enough to revitalize the Newfoundland fishing ground.

After the Poseidon energy entered the giant algae, it began to grow quickly, a few centimeters long seedlings sprouted, and a main trunk grew out first, with a light green color, about the thickness of a little finger, with densely packed small dots growing on it.

These small dots are the future vines of giant algae. A single giant algae can probably grow many small vine stalks, and small leaves will grow on the stalks. I believe that it will not take long for the sea surface of this sea area to be paved with seaweed.

The first phase of the project is to plant giant algae. After the seawater is purified by the giant algae and nutrients are accumulated on the seabed, other types of seaweed will be launched.

The cultivation of macroalgae cannot be completed in a day or two. It takes at least a week to plant more than 100 square kilometers of seaweed and twenty fishermen to work.

Qin Shiou left the fishermen behind, and he transferred to Halifax, where he was going to take over the next fishing ground—the auction of Carter Fishing Farm was about to start.

Although he has the Golden Bay Fishing Farm, he is still very ambitious for the Carter Fishing Farm. This is a very good place. It is located on the coast of Kejim Kujik. The scenery here is not worse than Farewell Island. Make a vacation.

Kejim Kujik is the local Indian language, which means 'the place where the gods look at'. To explain this name, it has to be connected with Indian mythology. Indians believe in ghosts and gods. They think that the place where ghosts and gods are located is on the stars in the sky. When night comes, Ghosts and gods will patrol their territory in the starry sky.

Therefore, another meaning of this name is that under the starry sky, the night sky here is particularly bright, and the stars can be seen most clearly. The ghosts and gods on the natural star can also see the territory most clearly here, so there are "all "Where God Beholds"

The Indian name is not an exaggeration at all. Kejim Kujik is a nature reserve with one of the two best national parks in Nova Scotia and a member of the Royal Astronomical Office of Canada. (To be continued.)
