Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 679 682. Sword of the Ocean (15)

Ao Muyang checked the news carefully, and there was a picture in the news. The fish in the news looked a bit like a catfish, with a big head and big lips, but it had fangs in its mouth, making it look very ferocious.

He didn't know whether the news was true or not, but Lu Rover had many contacts in this area, so he waited until the next morning and called Lu Rover and asked him to help ask about the news about the manta fish.

After answering his call, Lu Rover laughed: "Crocodile? You want to raise a crocodile? Brother, you are playing wildly."

Ao Muyang explained: "No, it's a mandarin fish, a Yangtze River crocodile."

Lu Rover laughed even louder: "Where did you hear this name? I'm telling you, you were deceived. How can there be any Yangtze River mandarin fish? It's just catfish. It's not like I haven't eaten it before. I was also deceived at that time. Oh, Mad, I spent more than 800 yuan on a fish, and the result is just a catfish!"

Having said this, Ao Muyang had no choice but to give up: "Okay, I just read a piece of news on the Internet, saying that the Yangtze River Fisheries Breeding Institute of the Fisheries Research Institute has completed the artificial domestication of stingrays. This species It’s ready to be launched into the market.”

Lu Rover said: "Really? Is there such news?"

Ao Muyang said: "Well, I guess it's fake news. The media nowadays really have no moral integrity. They report all kinds of messy things."

After communicating with Land Rover, he put the matter behind him because he had other things to focus on.

As usual, after the new year, there will be a swarm of sardines passing through the Red Ocean waters, and he will organize the fire boy to catch sardines.

This event has become a routine tourism project. There are many tourists in the village this year and many people want to participate in the fire jumping activities. Ao Daguo asked Ao Muyang to organize it.

Ao Muyang readily agreed, and at night they brought the calcium carbide and carried the tourists into the vast ocean.

As always, the big ship started first, followed by the small ship, and the fleet formed a long dragon on the sea, sailing mightily on the sea.

Compared with usual times, there were more people on the boat today, mainly because there were tourists on every boat. Compared with last year, there were several times more tourists participating in the fire jumping event this year.

When leaving the village waters, he ran into Wangjiacun's fleet.

Sardines are not a precious species, but they are abundant and harvestable. The fish itself is spiny, sweet, and nutritious, so it is very popular in the market. Whenever sardines cross the border, every village will send out fleets to catch them.

Of course, everyone no longer uses the traditional fishing method of sardines. It is dangerous after all, but it looks good. Compared with using fish luring lights to catch sardines, the harvest is worse.

There were also tourists on the boat in Wangjiacun, and when Ao Muyang saw it, he knew that they were also planning to come to engage in fire jumping.

This is expected. Last year, Longtou Village made a lot of money from this project. This is not about making money, but about making reputation. When the tourism industry has a reputation, it makes money.

Wangjiacun also wants to engage in tourism, so this year they also played the trick of fishing with firecrackers.

The two fleets were not far apart. Ao Muyang stood on the bow of the Dalongtou and looked around, faintly seeing Wang Youwei standing on the bow of the snow-white Tu Tulong.

This direct competitive relationship can easily lead to conflicts. Ao Mudong and his party are gearing up to meet Wangjiacun's provocation. If Wangjiacun does not provoke them, they will provoke their opponents.

Ao Muyang held down a group of his men and said: "The tourists are on the boat behind, please be honest and don't cause trouble!"

He doesn't want to give tourists the impression that fishermen are aggressive roughnecks.

Ao Mudong said unwillingly: "When our fleet met Wangjiacun before, they would definitely bully us. Now it's our turn to feel proud, but we can't bully them?"

Ao Muyang said: "You make a lot of money, this is the best way to show off. In what age do you still fight and fight? Now even the gangsters have set up companies to promote the economy, you are still here thinking about shaking your fists, childish !”

After being scolded by him, the crew members finally suppressed their eagerness to fight.

As night fell, Ao Daguo prepared the calcium carbide.

Ao Muyang got on the tiger's saddle as usual. It was unusual. The tiger didn't go directly to the sardines to eat this time. It seemed to be full and a little lazy.

However, after receiving Ao Muyang's order, it dived into the water immediately.

As in previous years, there were sardines everywhere in the sea. The tiger tracked a large school of fish, but these were not sardines——

The body curves are as smooth as a shuttle, the body surface is as smooth as a mirror, the upper jaw is long and pointed, and the mouth at the back is flatter. The color is mostly brown to black and dark blue, and each one is at least one meter long...

This is a swordfish!

When the tiger arrived, the swordfish panicked and immediately started swimming around in the sea.

They swim extremely fast, and their strong and powerful tails slap the seawater in the water, which generates huge propulsion. Their long jaws split the seawater like spears, reducing the resistance of the seawater, allowing them to swim faster.

Ao Muyang was surprised. Did they encounter a school of swordfish?

Although swordfish are nominally found in all sea areas except the Arctic Ocean, they are still quite rare in the China Sea. These swordfish should be attracted by sardines by chance.

Upon discovering the swordfish, Ao Muyang quickly ordered the tiger to bring him out of the sea. At this time, someone on a nearby boat shouted: "Swordfish! It's a swordfish!"

Killer whales like to prey on swordfish. No wonder the tiger was lazy before, but it turned out that it had already eaten swordfish.

Swordfish will flee in panic when they encounter killer whales. In panic, many fish jump out of the water and glide at high speed close to the water surface, so that someone can find their traces.

Although swordfish were found, they could not catch them.

They went out to sea specifically to catch sardines. They used small mesh fine wire nets. This kind of net can withstand less force. It is no problem to catch sardines, but it is not suitable for catching swordfish.

Swordfish are generally more than one meter long. The big ones are two or three meters long and weigh more than 100 kilograms. They have spear-like mouths. When they rush into the fishing net in large numbers, they can tear the small mesh fine net into pieces!

In comparison, swordfish are much more valuable than sardines. If possible, fishermen naturally want to catch swordfish.

But there is no way. Without tools, they can only watch these swordfish swim by them. Some people tried to reach out to catch them, but they were hit by swordfish and almost fell into the sea.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang shouted: "Everyone, be careful, don't get hit by a swordfish, let alone stabbed, it's dangerous!"

In extreme cases, swordfish can move at a high speed of 130 kilometers per hour. In this case, their hard upper jaws can pierce through a very thick ship bottom.

Ao Muyang remembered that he had read an introduction that said there was a ship bottom in a museum in London, England, and the bottom of the ship was pierced by a swordfish half a meter deep. Of course, the swordfish was also hit and killed, so someone made a specimen of the fish and the ship bottom and gave it to the museum.
