Golden Fishery

Experts boast that they know enough about leatherback turtles that they don't think that even uneducated fishermen can catch large tortoises that they can't catch themselves.

"What method are you going to use? Are you trawling?" an expert asked Qin Shiou teasingly.

They used the lure method before. Since leatherback turtles are migratory species, they like to swim in the ocean. They can swim 16,000 kilometers a year, with an average of about 45 kilometers per day, so they have a large demand for food.

Under normal circumstances, leatherback turtles can eat food equivalent to 73% of their own body weight in just one day, which is equivalent to 16,000 calories, which is 3 to 7 times higher than what they need to survive. These energy are all consumed in their sports .

So for the most part, food lures work well for leatherbacks, and for all foodies.

It's a pity that the experts' method encountered Waterloo in the Daqin Fishing Ground. The leatherback turtles eat and drink every day, and what they eat and drink contains the energy of the sea god. Who would be interested in the dead fish and shrimp they provide?

Looking at the curious experts, Qin Shiou began to slap his face. He smiled and said, "It's very simple, we want to catch sea turtles."

"Fishing turtles? How to fish? With a hook?" The experts finally had something they didn't understand, and they were stunned.

The fishermen took out the improvised fishing hooks. In fact, there was no hook, but a rough stick tied to the fishing line. A few large jellyfish were wrapped around the stick and thrown into the water.

Leatherback turtles have an unusual fondness for jellyfish. Although this species cannot provide them with a lot of energy for survival.

Jellyfish are floating in the water, and there is always a chance to have some beautiful encounters with leatherback turtles. At this time, leatherback turtles will seize the opportunity to open their mouths to swallow these jellyfish.

Once swallowed jellyfish. Leatherback turtles can't run away and can only be dragged aboard by fishermen.

This has something to do with their physical signs. Don’t look at these guys’ stupid, cute and cute appearance. They seem to be harmless to humans and animals, but behind their cute faces are hidden hundreds of sharp teeth. The scariest mouth ever.

From the mouth to the esophagus to the gut, leatherbacks are covered with hundreds of jagged, sharp teeth. It looks like stalactites hanging upside down in lava.

Leatherback turtles eat jellyfish without chewing, but by swallowing. The mouth immediately engulfed the jellyfish, and the rod wrapped around the jellyfish hung on their teeth, so that they could not open their mouths to spit out the rod, and could only be led away by the string on the rod.

The fishermen rowed their boats leisurely on the water.

Pull up the fishing line from time to time, and leatherback turtles can always be caught on it. The diameter of the large back shell is more than two meters, and the small one is 30 to 40 centimeters. There is no need to catch the smaller ones.

Seeing this scene, the experts could only look at each other and shrug their shoulders.

It took more than two days for the fishermen to catch more than 200 large leatherback turtles. Qin Shiou did not expect that there were so many such large turtles in his fishing ground.

Balzac saw these vibrant leatherbacks. Feeling much more optimistic, he said, "As long as we protect them properly, these sea turtles will not become extinct in a short time. Look, your fishing ground has attracted many of these guys."

Qin Shiou didn't agree with his idea, would the world's oceans be as clean as his fishing ground? Will there still be Seagod energy? Unless humans are willing to clean up ocean debris on a large scale, the living environment of leatherback turtles will remain harsh.

However, he is quite willing to be with these experts, and he has indeed learned a lot, but it is a pity that there are too many chores in the fishing ground. He can't always follow the experts.

Especially, as the weather warms up. The number of tourists on Farewell Island began to surge, and Winnie's work became busy. She didn't have time to take care of the little ones, so this task was given to Qin Shiou.

These little guys were brought up by Qin Shiou. He thought it would be easy to take care of them, but that's not the case. Among other things, Xiong Da couldn't take care of him.

Spring is here, Xiong Da probably has a hair, and has been very active, so it wanders around in the fishing ground when it has nothing to do, scaring geese and teasing dogs, and doing nothing good.

A lot of activities require a lot of food, but Qin Shiou and Wei Ni think that Xiong Da is too fat and must lose weight, so they control his food intake.

Xiong Da was very dissatisfied with this, and came to Qin Shiou's place to roll around and beg for food after a while.

Qin Shiou spread his hands and said, "No, baby, daddy is poor now, with only 140 catties of meat all over his body. If you are hungry, you can eat daddy."

Xiong stared at him loudly, opened his mouth wide and roared, sat down on the ground and hugged Qin Shiou's thigh and began to dawdle.

Qin Shiou made up his mind not to give it food. This guy is too fat now. He sits down like a small mountain of meat. His brown hair is shiny and shiny. When he runs, the fat on his body shakes around, as if his skin is filled with water.

Of course, there is no water under Xiong Da's skin, but a thick layer of fat.

Qin Shiou was comforting Xiong Da when the tiger came running over with a bird's egg in its mouth. The short-tailed fulmar always lay eggs on the beach recently, and the tiger and leopard would pick them up when they found them, which saved Qin Shiou a lot of money to buy eggs and duck eggs money.

After Huzi saw the bird eggs, Qin Shiou took a piece of jerky and fed it to Huzi.

Xiong Dayi's eyes glowed green when he saw the food, and he wanted to grab it as soon as he stretched out his fat paws. Huzi was already prepared, opened his mouth to catch the beef jerky, and immediately got under the table to eat a few mouthfuls before jumping out.

The table is too low and the bear is too fat to get in.

Unable to grab the beef jerky, Xiong Da turned around and yelled at Qin Shiou, his face full of unhappiness. And it didn't protest standing up, but lying on the ground, it was really lazy.

Qin Shiou gave it a brain collapse, and said angrily: "You still have the face to scream, if you weren't too fat, wouldn't you even be able to get under a dining table?"

Xiong Da tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly stood up and left, no longer pestering him, and ran out of the villa with small steps.

Qin Shiou felt that there must be a demon if something abnormal happened, so he followed.

After Xiong Da left the villa, he ran directly to the north. This guy was full of stamina and ran for more than ten kilometers along the coastline. Fortunately, Qin Shiou exercised every day, so he barely kept up with Xiong Da.

Running to the Taihu geese gathering place in the nearby fishing ground, Xiong Da slowed down. He looked at the geese, found the largest gathering place of geese, and leaned over.

Qin Shiou was puzzled, isn't it, Xiong Da is so hungry? Actually planning to catch geese to eat? Immediately he vetoed this idea, this is not Xiong Da's character, it keeps asking for something to eat, in fact it is not because it is too hungry, but because it is too greedy!

What it wants to eat are things that taste good, such as dried meat, dried fish, and fruit salad, not goose with a fishy smell.

Seeing Xiong Da approaching, the male Taihu goose patrolling outside immediately stared at it vigilantly, making a 'quack' sound in his mouth, trying to scare Xiong Da.

Xiong Da’s courage grows fatter and fatter with the growth of fat on his body. It is no longer the little bear who was beaten by geese. Now that he has grown up, he is not afraid of hawks, not to mention geese. ! (to be continued)
