space fisherman

Ma Hua said while patting his chest.

"Damn, that's not mentioned in the book. Fortunately, we didn't meet in the water."

Ye Yuan did not tell the crew that it was best not to mess with this thing. The real reason why he was called the devil fish was that this thing would deliberately sneak under the fishing boat and hit the bottom of the boat with its body, making a "pop" sound, especially at night.

Many fishermen of the older generation have been scared by this guy.

It has been relatively rare to see it in recent years because their number has been declining sharply. In 2011, it was included in the International Convention for the Protection of Migratory Wild Animal Species, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has classified manta rays as "endangered" species.

By this time, the crew members had recovered from the excitement of meeting the manta ray and started their work.

The trawl net was cast down and dragged for half an hour. The harvest was pretty good, but almost all of it was octopus, and the economic value was not very high.

According to a simple estimate, this website only has an income of about 20,000 yuan.

Although it is not a huge loss, there is nothing left after the gas money is gone. This is also the embarrassing mirror of offshore fishing.

If you don't catch enough fish and don't cherish it enough, you can go out to sea once for oil money and not lose money, which is already good.

Ye Yuan saw that the crew made two consecutive nets without any harvest, and everyone's face showed disappointment.

Ye Yuan found it funny. These people really thought they were on the boat and could catch fish everywhere. They really regarded themselves as sea gods.

Ye Yuan knew that if he didn't use his senses to sense the situation in the water, he wouldn't necessarily be better than those old fishermen, but who gave him the ability to sense?

Letting go of his senses and observing the situation in this sea area, Ye Yuan also wanted to know if there were any rare fish in this sea area.

This seabed is not deep, only about 40 meters, and there are quite a lot of tropical fish.

But they are all small fish with no economic value. If they exist, they can only be salvaged and sold as ornamental fish.

But if you want to catch ornamental fish, you cannot use a trawl net, which will destroy the appearance of the fish.

If you want to catch ornamental fish, you can only artificially dive to the bottom of the sea and then use a professional net to catch them.

Ye Yuan's perception followed the direction in which these small fish were swimming, and suddenly Ye Yuan discovered a strange thing that looked very much like a tree.

But within the scope of Ye Yuan's knowledge, there is only one type of tree on the seabed, which is the mangrove, also known as the undersea forest.

It is a precious tree species that grows on the seaside. When the tide rises, it is submerged in the sea, and when the tide recedes, it emerges from the water.

It plays an important role in protecting the coast and preventing typhoons and tsunamis. Mangroves are my country's protected tree species.

But the tree in front of him didn't look like a mangrove tree at all. Ye Yuan observed carefully and finally figured out what this thing was.

This turned out to be a rarely seen black coral. Yes, this is not a tree but a coral.

Black coral, also known as sea willow, inhabits the hard bottom at a water depth of 15-20m, or deeper coral stones and rocks.

Its branches are slender and beautiful, flexible in texture, and do not rot when soaked in water. Because its appearance is similar to a willow tree on land, it is named sea willow.

The appearance of black coral can easily be mistaken for a tree, but scientific research has shown that sea willow is actually a marine animal, a member of the coelenterate family, a member of the Coralidae family.

They grow between the subtropics and the tropics, growing on seafloor reefs in a sucker-fastening manner.

It can reach a height of 5-6 meters, is dark brown or tan in color, has thick trunks, dense branches, and slender leaves. The wood is tough and corrosion-resistant, and is known as "iron wood".

Because they hide under the sea all their lives and can live up to a thousand years, they are also known as "sacred trees".

They can be made into various handicrafts.

Because of its tough texture, durability and luster, it can be processed into various handicrafts, such as bracelets, bonsais, flowers, birds, insects, fish, tea cups, rings, Buddhist beads and other art treasures. In ancient times, it was a noble plaything of emperors and ministers.

The largest one of the black corals Ye Yuan found has reached five meters, and the rest are about 1-2 meters. Ye Yuan knew that he had met a treasure again this time.

Ye Yuan glanced at the expressions of the crew members, thought for a while and then said: "Well, why don't we take advantage of the nice weather now and go for a walk in the sea?"

Ye Yuan asked the crew. Now it can be said that the crew on the "Yu Shui" are obsessed with diving.

For no other reason than that, many high-end seafood must be caught artificially in the sea. After the last starfish invasion, everyone has strengthened their diving training.

This is also a preparation for encountering good things in the future.

Everyone was very happy when they heard that Ye Yuan planned to let everyone dive, cheering and wearing diving equipment.

Ding Yi, Yu Hongbo, and chef Gong Hongzhuang were left on the boat, and the rest jumped into the sea one after another.

This sea area is not too deep, and Yu Hongbo and the others did not feel much discomfort when they reached the bottom of the sea.

The colorful underwater world came into everyone's eyes. Although these people were all from the navy and had diving experience, they would sincerely appreciate the beautiful scenery every time they saw it.

Ye Yuan didn't go looking for those sea willows. The purpose of letting everyone go into the sea was that he didn't want to find something good by himself every time. If this happened for a long time, even if the crew said they didn't doubt it, he wouldn't believe it.

After all, they were all crew members on their own ship. They found out that it was also their own, so they had nothing to worry about.

Ye Yuan also wanted to test these crew members through this time and see how they would react when they meet something good.

Although this place is a distant sea, it is still the sea area of ​​China. Ye Yuan aimlessly searched for valuable ornamental fish here.

When I see something I like, I will take it in. After all, when I went to Beijing, I owned an ornamental fish shop with Deng Kai. The business there was very good, and I came to Yuwan Island several times to restock.

When Ye Yuan is away, Li Hui will organize some crew members to go fishing in some nearby waters. Although there are no precious ornamental fish, there is still no problem in supplying it to a fish shop.

Ye Yuan casually put a Manlong into the space. This is a very common ornamental fish. It is very popular with some ornamental fish lovers because it is affordable and very beautiful, so Ye Yuan put it into the space when he saw it.

Looking at the ornamental fish in the space, Ye Yuan should be able to put them near Yuwan Island again this time.

Ye Yuan discovered that fish that have been cultured in space can quickly adapt to the nearby environment when placed in the sea.

This is why Ye Yuan safely placed some ornamental fish near Yuwan Island and let the crew catch them.

Yes, many of the ornamental fish caught by the crew on Yuwan Island were intentionally released by Ye Yuan. Otherwise, ornamental fish would really be seen everywhere?

Then what else does Ye Yuan do? If everyone goes to the bottom of the sea to catch ornamental fish, won’t everyone make a fortune?

It's just that a few rare species were not released into the sea. After all, there are no such fish on Blue Island. If they were to be released, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

Soon Ye Yuan discovered that some crew members began to slowly swim towards the sea, and Ye Yuan followed behind, swimming towards the fishing boat.
