Golden Fishery

The fishing boat sailed near Hill Island, and sure enough, many seals appeared in Qin Shiou's sight.

Wright asked Qin Shiou if he knew anything about seals, and after learning that he didn't, he acted as a tour guide and introduced him:

"Look at those big guys, yes, two-meter-plus guys, oh, they're bearded seals. If your eyes are like eagle eyes, you can see that they have some rough beards on their mouths, so there are also People call them bearded seals."

"The harbor seals are the most, because their diet is the most complicated. They eat meat and grass. They can eat all sea fish, as well as cephalopods and crustaceans. If they don't have these, they don't mind eating them." Some seaweed."

"See that beautiful big seal? It's the one with the grey-blue fur, luckily for you, they're banded seals, because they have a wide ring of white bands around their necks. This kind of There are fewer seals and they don't like to live in groups."

There are many seals living on the small island, and there are various types. Most of these fat guys are lying on the island to bask in the sun. Their fur is so shiny that it feels like oil is dripping out.

Several chubby little seals are rolling and playing together. They are only the size of puppies, and their bodies are covered with oily fat, like small balls.

These little guys screamed 'Aww' at the top of their voices, and they fought like a ball rolling. A little seal of no discernible type went up and scratched a slightly bigger seal, and the big seal flicked its butt back, and the little one The seal rolled out like a ball...

"Hey. What a cute little guy." Qin Shiou laughed.

"Cute? No, we don't feel that way." Williams said dissatisfiedly, "The government protects these lazy guys more than we do. We only have a few days a year to fish, what about them? Can."

"Protection? You said the Canadian government protected them?" Qin Shiou asked back.

Although he doesn't want to be serious and doesn't want to argue, Canada doesn't protect seals at all-it allows large-scale culling of seals every year. Can this be considered protection?

The level of cruelty of Canadians hunting seals is second only to Japanese dolphin hunting activities and the "whale killing conference" in the Danish Faroe Islands.

After hearing Qin Shiou's words, an old fisherman disagreed. He retorted: "Yes, someone killed them. But didn't the government protect them? No, the government stipulated that they could be hunted only 15 days a year in the spring, and they also gave a quota. Doesn't that count as protection? "

"young people.

You are the owner of the fish farm, so you can't understand the sadness of us poor people. Who wants to kill living things? But when you have no other way to make money, robbing a bank is also a good choice. "

"Boy, have you ever killed wild boars? The government doesn't protect wild boars, but why no one protested? It's simple, wild boars will harm the food in the fields, but won't seals harm the fish in the fishing grounds? They are the favorite food Cod's!"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "There is nothing to justify, everyone. Everyone has different perspectives and different ideas. The important thing is what we should do."

Adults only talk about interests. Only children can tell right from wrong, but in this matter, Qin Shiou has to be a child. He insists that the Canadian government should not allow the public to hunt and kill seals on a large scale.

Yes, the government allows the killing of wild boars, but when did a large group of hunters be organized to hunt wild boars?

But hunting seals. It is organized behavior.

Wright saw that everyone was excited, so he stomped his feet and shouted: "Hey. I said guys, we are here to fish, not to participate in the animal protection organization debate. Besides, why are we arguing about this? We haven't hunted seals before, have we?" No one came to Hill Island to hunt seals, did they?"

The old fishermen nodded with a smile, Qin Shiou also felt that he was a little naive just now, what is he competing with these old people?

The round-headed and fat-brained seals jumped into the water and drilled into the water to find food. The baby seals played freely, and there was a peaceful scene on the island and reef.

But the danger came quietly, Wright reached out and grabbed Qin Shiou's clothes, motioning him to look towards the southeast corner of the reef.

The fishing boat was relatively close, and when Qin Shiou took a closer look, he saw a huge monster slowly appearing on the sea near the island.

This is a big fish with a gray and black head that is extremely huge. Qin Shiou let go of the sea god's consciousness and saw that this fish was about five meters long, ugly in appearance, and clumsy and slow in movement. A little silly.

After seeing the fish's appearance clearly, Qin Shiou recognized it, and said in a low voice, "Sleeping shark?"

Another name for the sleeping shark is the Greenland shark. The two names respectively introduce their two iconic characteristics, one is living in Greenland waters, and the other moves slowly as if asleep.

This sleeper shark moved slowly. It took only five minutes to swim a short distance of a hundred meters from the time it surfaced to approaching the reef.

Qin Shiou knew that the sleeping shark was not swimming so slowly because he was worried about scaring the seals basking in the sun by the water, but that they were so slow under normal circumstances, and it was not bad to be able to swim 20 meters in a minute.

But there is also an advantage in this way, that is, the careless seals did not notice the crisis, they should still fight, those who should bask in the sun are still basking, and those who should sleep are still sleeping.

After the sleeping shark approached the reef, a fat gray seal was half lying in the water basking in the sun. As a result, the sleeping shark slowly approached it, opened its mouth suddenly, and bit the seal with a 'click'!

The seal screamed in pain, and then the sleeping shark sank into the water, pulling the seal into the water, leaving a faint blood splash with the sea water.

This scene stunned the seals, and then their laziness disappeared quickly. The pups were taken away by the female seals, and the male seals surrounded them aggressively from all directions, and then they "plopped" and "plop" one by one like dumplings. plopped into the water.

"It's a good show." Wright laughed and hugged his arms, and the other old fishermen also looked down with anticipation.

Sleeper sharks are nicknamed "crocodile in the sea" because of their habit of slowly approaching their prey and then suddenly attacking and biting the prey, dragging them into the water to toss to death before eating them. They are relatively large in stature and can grow up to seven meters long as adults. In addition, they have a fierce temperament, so they have few opponents in the water.

Unfortunately, the sleeper shark's favorite food, seal, happens to be one of their rivals.

Don't look at the seals that are as fat as piglets when they are on land. Anyway, the name has 'leopard' in it. They resemble leopards not only in appearance, but also in personality.

Once in the water, the seal is a serious marine cheetah! (to be continued)
