Golden Fishing Village

The turbid seawater had an unpleasant fishy smell, and waves rolled on the sea surface, bringing up turbid foam. The general was disgusted and didn't want to go into the water.

Ao Muyang searched for a long time, but found nothing except a few sea bass and sea crucian carp occasionally.

Seeing that there was no one on the sea surface, he walked in the water, dragging an iron rake in his hand, dragging the mud and sand on the seabed to roll.

The iron rake dragged up the mud and sand to make some fish and shrimp hiding below appear. This is a common fishing method in shallow water, but Ao Muyang can breathe and move freely in the water, so he took it to the seabed to use.

Finally, as the iron rake dragged up the mud and sand, some big shrimps jumped out.

These shrimps are not big, the largest one is only half of his palm, they have short and thick bodies and thick shells, unlike prawns and other shrimps, the surface of the shell of this shrimp is rough and uneven.

Ao Muyang caught one quickly. The prawn immediately bent in his hand. It seemed to turn into an eagle claw. In fact, it is called eagle claw shrimp.

Compared with prawns, red shrimps and white shrimps, eagle claw shrimps are more beautiful. Their shells are bright reddish-green. In addition, they are small, and only ten centimeters at most when mature.

The iron rake was dragged on the seabed, and a large group of eagle claw shrimps emerged.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang was happy. He put down the rake and floated to the surface to drag a large net down. While scraping the seabed mud, he caught the eagle claw shrimps hidden in it.

At first, he saw that the ocean here was dead and thought there was nothing to gain. Unexpectedly, there were so many eagle claw shrimps hidden in the mud on the seabed.

This is a bargain on the seabed. It is estimated that no one noticed that there are such treasures in this dirty water area.

Wild eagle claw shrimps are quite expensive. Their shrimp meat is more tender and delicious than prawns, and they are the top raw materials for shrimp meat after being dried. They are known as "dragon beard and golden hook".

Dead shrimps are used to make shrimp meat. Live eagle claw shrimps are more delicious and more expensive. One pound costs 60 or 70 yuan in the wholesale market, which is much more expensive than green shrimps and mud shrimps.

Eagle claw shrimps like to hide in shallow sea mud and especially like humus seabed mud. There is a lot of garbage in this sea area, which creates humus seabed mud and becomes their paradise.

Ao Muyang caught several nets of eagle claw shrimps. He lifted the shrimps up and put them into the boxes and buckets in the cabin, and then called the general over.

The general sat beside him, shaking his tail, confused, not knowing what he was called for.

Ao Muyang wiped the water off his face and said, "Don't you want to go into the water today? Come on, give me your claws. Remember, come in and stir it up a bit in a while. Do you understand?"

He held one of the general's front claws and put it into the bucket, letting it stir the seawater inside.

Eagle claw shrimps are prone to death when they are quiet, so they need to be stimulated to move. Ao Muyang let the general do this.

The general absorbs the water vapor of the golden elixir every day and becomes much smarter. After Ao Muyang taught it a few times, it roughly understood that it should put its claws in the bucket and shake it after a while.

Every time it put its claws in and shook it, Ao Muyang gave it a chicken sausage to eat. After a few times of this, the training results came out: the general put his claws in and shook them continuously, and the shrimps were shaken to death!

Ao Muyang had no choice but to drag its claws out and said, "Forget it, forget it, I can't count on you."

You said forget it? What do you think of me? Am I so casual? The general grinned and took the time to put his claws into the bucket and swung it, glancing at the chicken sausage in Ao Muyang's hand.

"Wow!" Ao Muyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to kick it: "Go, go into the water!"

The golden elixir water vapor can ensure the vitality of the shrimp group, but he didn't know whether these shrimps would devour each other like lobsters, so he didn't use this trick at first.

Now he had no choice but to inject the golden elixir water vapor into the shrimp group to maintain their vitality - the price of live eagle claw shrimp and dead shrimp is completely different.

After a long circle on the seabed, Ao Muyang harvested a large number of eagle claw shrimp, and the buckets and foam boxes on the boat were full.

He didn't want to fish out all the eagle claw shrimp in this area, so there was no need to worry about salvaging all the eagle claw shrimp in this area. The female eagle claw shrimp has a powerful ability, which is to ovulate multiple times.

The water conservancy industry calls the rise of river, lake and sea water "flood season", while fishermen call the season suitable for catching certain fish and shrimp "flood season", such as yellow croaker season, mackerel season, etc.

Most fish and shrimp have only one flood season a year, while eagle claw shrimp have spring, summer and autumn floods. Their spawning period can be divided into multiple times and can last for a long time. At the same time, the spawning grounds are widely distributed, so their population size is well maintained.

He dragged the iron rake to the edge of the muddy seabed and encountered a garbage belt.

Because the ocean has ocean currents, waves on the sea surface, and undulating seabed terrain, some sea areas will form a slow-flow vortex. The seawater vortex flows slowly and poses no threat to people and ships.

However, no matter how slow the vortex is, it has suction. It cannot suck heavy people and ships, but it can suck marine garbage, such as bottles and cans, plastic bags, foam boards, etc.

This kind of slow-flow vortex-controlled water area often has a large amount of garbage gathering, so it is academically called a marine garbage belt.

Ao Muyang has just encountered such a garbage belt, but it is a small one, with an area of ​​only a few dozen acres. It is said that there are super garbage belts in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, which are larger than North America!

The seabed below the small garbage belt is a reef, and it is obviously impossible for hawk claw shrimps to hide, so he looked at these marine garbage with disgust and wanted to swim away.

As he made a splash, the waters at the edge of the garbage belt were disturbed, and suddenly two sea snake-like creatures emerged from a jar and escaped.

At first he thought he had encountered a sea snake, so he quickly accelerated to leave the waters.

Sea snakes are very fierce, and all sea snakes are highly venomous, but they have good personalities. If you don't provoke them, they will not attack large creatures like humans.

As he swam, he looked back and found that it was not right. These were not sea snakes, but two fish that escaped. They were as long as sea snakes, but they were cylindrical in shape, unlike sea snakes, which had a particularly obvious paddle-shaped snake tail.

Both fish were about one meter long, with a pointed head and a pointed mouth. Their bodies were dark brown and their ventral sides were milky white. The edges of the back, hips, and tail fins were black, unlike sea snakes with colorful body colors.

After a closer look, he recognized that these were two sea eels!

Considering that they had previously drilled in a jar, this further proves their identity. Conger eels like to live in sea areas with sandy mud or reefs, and prefer to hide in closed spaces such as bottles and jars or seabed cracks.

This is a pleasant surprise. Conger eels are also precious marine products. Japanese, Koreans and Europeans especially like to eat them. Fresh conger eels are more expensive than hawk claw shrimps in the market.

There are quite a lot of plastic bottles and glass jars in the garbage belt. He estimated that there are many eels hidden in them. This is a big harvest.

But the garbage belt is too dirty, and it is too disgusting to swim directly in.

At this time, the diving suit came in handy. The diving suit he bought is a famous brand. There is a layer of composite fiber on the surface of the clothes. It is a combination of aramid fiber and carbon fiber. It is particularly smooth and can almost be said that it will not get wet when entering the water.

So, he put on the diving suit and took the net bag into the garbage belt.
