Chapter 105: Megamouth Shark

The first thing to be auctioned was the Blue Flag tuna weighing more than 100 kilograms.

Each piece of tuna was pushed in front of the host by the workers. As soon as the host gave the lowest price, the seafood dealers immediately gave the price, so fast that Ye Yuan was very surprised.

Soon these hundreds of kilograms of tuna were auctioned off.

Following closely, bluefin tuna weighing about 150 kilograms was auctioned in sequence, with prices ranging from 30 to 40 million Japanese currency.

The auction went very quickly, and Ye Yuan felt that this was not an auction at all, it was just a matter of grabbing fish.

The prices here had just been reported and there was no competition, so the auctioneer directly moved to the next fish.

What’s even more interesting is that everyone seems to have a tacit understanding, one for you, one for me, and not many people are bidding at all.

After one person sets the price, there is basically no one to compete for it.

Ye Yuan looked at Ma Mingyuan beside him.

"Mr. Ma, won't this lower the price of tuna?"

Ma Mingyuan said with a smile:

“These are just appetizers, no one will go out of their way to lower the price, and those bidding are all fish detectives stationed here all year round.

We are very familiar with each other, and we won’t let one fish ruin our harmony.”

Soon, the last bluefin tuna was brought up. This tuna weighed 195 kilograms. Ye Yuan found several seafood dealers who had not set prices. Their waists straightened up, and they seemed to be preparing to bid.

The auctioneer gave the reserve price "55 million."

The bidding quickly became fierce, which was different from ordinary auctions.

There is no excess, just go all out from the beginning.

"58 million..."

"60 million..."

"62 million..."

A group of people started making crazy bids, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Ma Mingyuan also quoted a price once during this period, and then never quoted a price again.

I just smiled and watched a group of peers bidding there.

The price quickly climbed to 65 million, but no one made a breakthrough bid.

The final price was set at 67 million yuan, which was the price given by a seafood merchant named Tagawa Keita.

Ma Mingyuan said in Ye Yuan's ear:

"Mr. Ye, that person is from the Tagawa Society, the third largest seafood giant in Japan. They are very powerful. If you are interested, I can introduce you to them."

Ye Yuan shrugged.

"Forget it. Dealing with Japanese people makes my back hurt."

Ma Mingyuan burst out laughing after hearing this.

"Mr. Ma, aren't you here to purchase tuna? I think you don't care much about this auction."

Ye Yuan asked the doubts in his heart.

Ma Mingyuan said in a tentative tone:

"I didn't plan to buy it at first. This time I came to Japan to negotiate a deal. It seems to be related to you, because your abalone has become famous. This time I plan to open up the Japanese market."

Ye Yuan knew what they meant, wasn't he just afraid that he would develop it himself?

Ye Yuan thought to himself, "You are thinking too much."

I'm really too lazy to deal with these Japanese people. If you like, you can come.

Anyway, I ended up getting the goods from here.

The three of them returned to the hotel. Ye Yuan told the two of them about the itinerary for the next few days, and he planned to visit several major fishing grounds in the Japanese country.

On the surface, I explain that I want to learn more about the breeding experience here. In fact, I have my own purpose.

In the next few days, Ma Mingyuan is going to meet several local seafood merchants from Japan.

Wang Yueshan also needed to meet with some clients and did not have time to accompany Ye Yuan.

Ma Mingyuan originally planned to find a local translator for Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan declined. He had a lot of things to do alone, so how could he find a translator by his side.

When Wang Yueshan invited Ye Yuan to come to Japan with him, Ye Yuan had already set the goal of this trip in his heart.

That is the Hokkaido fishing ground, known as the world's largest fishing ground.

The Hokkaido fishery is the center of the North Pacific fishery and the largest fishery in the world.

Located in the southeastern waters of Hokkaido, it is rich in plankton and densely populated with fish.

The Hokkaido fishery is located at the intersection of the Waguo Warm Current and the Chilundo Cold Current.

Due to the difference in seawater density, denser cold water sinks and less dense warm water rises, causing vertical agitation of the seawater and bringing organic matter deposited on the seabed to the sea surface, providing abundant food for fish.

As a result, the sea area has become a world-famous fishing ground.

The intersection of cold and warm currents can disturb the sea water, and the rising sea water brings nutrients to the surface of the ocean, causing plankton to flourish, thereby providing rich food for fish and rich fishery resources.

The fishing grounds of Japan's Hokkaido mainly produce famous fish such as salmon, pollock, Pacific herring, Far Eastern sardines, and saury.

Ye Yuan was sitting on the train to Hokkaido, looking out the window at the pastoral scenery that was no different from that in China, but thinking about the purpose of going to Hokkaido this time.

I went to Japan and didn’t bring some precious seafood back with me. I would be really sorry for my system space.

After getting off the bus, Ye Yuan found a very ordinary hotel to check into. After a simple night's rest, Ye Yuan took a taxi to the nearby beach early the next morning.

Finding a more remote place, Ye Yuan saw that there was no one nearby, so he sneaked into the sea here.

Now Ye Yuan can swim in the sea with little effort. He originally wanted to rent a fishing boat and go to sea.

But who can rent a boat to a foreigner and go out to sea alone? If the boat owner follows him, he will have nothing to do.

Ye Yuan swam toward the distant sea. He was already far away from the land. Ye Yuan discovered that the abundance of seabed fish here was really much better than in China.

A group of pollock and Ye Yuan passed by, and Ye Yuan caught a dozen of them and sent them into space.

At this time, Ye Yuan has reached the deep sea with a water depth of about 800 meters. There is no light coming in here. Ye Yuan can only look for prey here through perception.

A shark appeared in Ye Yuan's perception, which was unexpected by Ye Yuan. This shark

The fish looks strange.

It has a terrifyingly large mouth, and its back is covered with thick circular spots, making it look like a witch in the sea.

Most sharks are very ferocious creatures, and they have the ability to prey on most creatures in the ocean. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a shark while out at sea, you may become their food.

Ye Yuan has encountered sharks many times in the sea, but he always cheers up. After all, this thing is really ferocious.

But this time, this kind of shark did not give Ye Yuan a sense of crisis. On the contrary, he was just a little surprised, because the shark opposite was a megamouth shark that did not have much interest in large marine creatures.

Megamouth shark: It has a big head and a big mouth, and its fine teeth are shaped like whiskers. Like the sharks of the basking shark family and the whale shark family, it feeds on filtered plankton.

There is a light emitter near the mouth, which can be used to attract prey.

The tail is very long, and the upper half of the tail is less upturned.

The body color is brown-black and the belly is white.

Different from other species of the order Porphyra, the snout of the Megamouth shark is rounder and less obvious.

The body length is 4-5.5 meters, and the weight can be up to 1 ton.

This kind of shark usually lives in the deep sea, so humans rarely see it. The first discovery of megamouth sharks was in 1976.
