space fisherman

Yu Hongbo nodded to express his understanding.

As You Zhiyong returned to the ship, the "Yushui" was restarted. Ye Yuan no longer cared about the matters on the deck. Instead, he returned to the rest cabin alone, opened his laptop, and went online to find some information about the special color lobster.

material.

The results found surprised Ye Yuan. This kind of lobster really existed, but the number was really small.

Ye Yuan caught this lobster, which is called a two-color lobster in the data.

A lobster has two colors on its body. The left and right sides of its body are actually different colors. Such a lobster is called a bicolor lobster.

According to the data, the probability of this kind of lobster appearing is very low, about one in 50 million.

This lobster was caught by an Eagle Country fisherman in July 2017 and was nicknamed "Harley Quinn" due to the color difference on both sides of its body.

Many biologists believe that the reason why lobsters have such an appearance is due to genetic mutations in lobsters, but this situation is very rare.

One of the existing cases is that a resident of a small town in Maine, Country M, caught a two-color lobster, half of its body was orange and half was brown.

According to the findings of the researchers, this is a special development result after complete cell division when the lobster egg is first fertilized.

Lobsters developed from this special cell division often have both male and female genders at the same time, which is the so-called "hermaphrodite".

In the past ten years, such lobsters have only appeared in the waters of Maine and Canada.

If we were to talk about the value of this two-color lobster, Ye Yuan believed that it was an astronomical figure. After all, things are rare and valuable.

But the probability of finding a bicolor lobster is really low. Only one bicolor lobster may exist among 50 million lobsters. The probability of encountering it is even lower than winning the lottery.

Ye Yuan did not intend to sell or eat the lobster. He planned to raise it himself when he returned.

In the past, he planned to send it to his sister's seafood shop or Deng Kai's ornamental fish shop, but after learning that this lobster was the third bicolor lobster found in the world, Ye Yuan had a better idea, which was to take it himself.

He raised it.

Ye Yuan has always planned to build a small aquarium in his villa, but he has never had time to do it.

Ye Yuan believes that as he goes to sea more often, he will discover a lot of rare marine creatures.

When the time comes, you can build a small aquarium and raise these precious creatures. It will be a good thing for them and yourself.

These precious marine creatures, under the laws of nature, may not necessarily become extinct one day, but if they are in their own hands, and with the protection of the space lake water, they will definitely grow up healthily.

When the time comes, when they form a group, and then put some of them back into the sea, it can be regarded as some contribution to Blue Star.

Just when Ye Yuan was thinking about this, the satellite phone on the table rang.

Ye Yuan was very surprised. Not many people knew about this satellite phone. If it was not an emergency, no one would make this call.

Ye Yuan answered the phone and heard Li Hui's voice.

"Xiao Yuan, how long will it take for you to come back?"

Ye Yuan could tell from his tone that Li Hui was in a very tired state now.

"What happened?"

"A tide of Enteromorpha broke out here on Blue Island"

Li Hui seemed to have used up all his strength to say these words.

When he heard about the tide of Enteromorpha, Ye Yuan knew something was going to be bad, and then asked quickly:

"Is the loss big?"

"It's not small. Although we tried our best to avoid losses, it's still not small.

We have already caught some fish and shellfish that can be sold and sent them to my sister. As for the nursery and abalone fry, we have only rescued part of them.

Because the quantity of our fish is too large, my sister can’t sell it immediately. Many marine fish can only be frozen. As a result, the price will be more than a little different, and the loss to the fishing ground will be considerable.”

Li Hui talked about the current situation of the fishery in one breath.

"Well, I understand. I will rush back as soon as possible. You can comfort the workers and ask them not to worry too much."

After Ye Yuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

The Enteromorpha tide is simply a disaster for a farmer. It is called a marine ecological killer by some fishermen.

Enteromorpha is also known as moss, moss, green algae, Ulvaceae.

The algal body is bright green and consists of a single layer of cells, which are arranged in a tube or adhered into a band. The arrangement of cells is related to the species, with single nucleus and one or more starch nuclei.

Due to global climate change, eutrophication of water bodies and other reasons, green tide outbreaks of the large marine alga Enteromorpha enterica have occurred.

Large amounts of Enteromorpha prolifera float and accumulate on the shore, blocking waterways, destroying marine ecosystems, and seriously threatening the development of coastal fisheries and tourism.

It grows in the intertidal zones along the coast of China, with the largest yield along the East China Sea.

A large amount of Enteromorpha can block sunlight and affect the growth of seabed algae. Dead Enteromorpha can also consume oxygen in the sea, which can cause the death of a large number of marine life.

In many countries, the outbreak of large green algae such as Enteromorpha has been called "green tide" and is regarded as a marine disaster like red tide.

Thinking about the red tide scene that Ye Yuan saw before when he went to sea, it is not difficult to imagine how much economic losses this enteromorpha tide will bring to Ye Yuan.

However, there is currently no good way to eliminate Enteromorpha prolifera. The only way is to adopt the oldest method, which is artificial salvage.

Ye Yuan still doesn't know how big the Enteromorpha tide is this time, but since Li Hui can call him, it must not be small, otherwise there is no need to catch all the farmed fish.

Ye Yuan came directly to the cockpit and told Ding Yi and Wang Husheng to return the "Yushui" at full speed.

Yu Hongbo also received the news that Ye Yuan gave up his plan to continue fishing on the way back and wanted to go back as quickly as possible.

Although we can no longer catch fish, the harvest of the past few days plus today's stonefish are generally quite satisfactory.

Because it was returning at full speed, Ye Yuan's fishing boat finally arrived at the waters of Landao at noon seven days later.

When the fishing boat entered the waters of Landao, it discovered that the place had completely changed.

The originally blue sea has been covered with a thick green coat by a large amount of Enteromorpha. From a distance, it feels more like an endless grassland.

Fishing boats of all sizes were catching large amounts of Enteromorpha at sea. Ye Yuan's fishing boat had to slow down because of the Enteromorpha.

Ye Yuan stood on the deck, frowning and looking in the direction of Yuwan Island.

"Boss, can I fly you back in a helicopter first?"

Wang Husheng's voice sounded behind Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan nodded, this is the only way. The fishing boat is moving too slowly now. If we follow this speed, it would be fast to reach Yuwan Island after dark.

With the rotation of the propeller, the helicopter that Ye Yuan bought and had not used much finally came into use. The helicopter flew towards Yuwan Island like an arrow leaving its string.

This was Ye Yuan's first time flying a helicopter, but because he was anxious and wanted to rush back to Yuwan Island as soon as possible, he was not in the mood to experience this flying experience.
