space fisherman
Chapter 90: Geoduck
I heard from my father that this guy doesn't hunt much by himself anymore. When he's hungry, he goes to the crew. If he can't find the crew, he comes to the workers.
It finds you, and if you don't give it food, it will do all kinds of cute things to you until you give it food. These workers can't help but smile.
In the words of a worker, this guy is about to become the favorite of Yuwan Island.
The fishing boat came to a sea area, and Ye Yuan asked Ding Yi to stop the boat here.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since Ye Yuan had gone out to catch seafood by himself.
“I really miss those days when I first came back from Blue Island”
Ye Yuan thought in his heart
Although I didn’t make as much money at that time as I do now, I was busy every day and very motivated.
Looking back at myself now, as long as I don't go to sea and stay at home all day, I am a bit developing in the direction of salted fish. It is not good to continue like this.
"Whenever I have nothing to do in the future, I will still go out to sea for a walk. It's such a happy decision."
Ye Yuan thought about this, told Dahuang to stay on the boat, and then went into the sea.
I chose this sea area because there is a coral group underneath, and generally there are relatively abundant fish around the coral group.
Not only are there abundant fish resources here, but there are also a wide range of species.
Although there are many rare species in his space, he still lacks a lot of things. The only things he can get rid of now are lobster, abalone, dog claw snail and grouper.
The snow crabs and peony shrimps from last time have just been put into the space and have not yet formed a large scale. Ye Yuan does not want to use them to entertain the foodie.
Ye Yuan came to the bottom of the sea. The water here was only about thirty meters deep, which was not very deep for him, and the light was not bad.
Among the corals on the seabed, various fishes shuttled among them, and some sea crabs were chasing some small fish with their large pliers.
Ye Yuan was in the middle of the coral group, looking for his prey. He saw two lobsters, which were very small, so he let them go.
Although there are abundant fish here, there really aren't too many for Ye Yuan to see.
While Ye Yuan was searching, he suddenly saw several cylindrical objects in the sea sand not far away.
Ye Yuanyou came closer and took a look, "Is this... a geoduck?"
Geoduck, the biological name is Pacific mud clam, also known as emperor clam and goddess clam.
The geoduck is the largest known burrowing bivalve. The largest geoduck shell is about 18-23 centimeters long. The water pipe can extend up to 1.3 meters and cannot be retracted into the shell. The weight of the geoduck can reach 3.6 kilograms even with the shell.
It is a large shellfish of the genus Clams.
Because geoduck meat is delicious and nutritious, it is a high-end consumer product in the catering industry.
The shell is thin and brittle. The two shells are small and usually equal. There are serrated teeth on the front end of the shell. There are auxiliary shells on the back, abdomen and rear end of the back shell. The water pipes are extremely developed. The thick water pipes cannot be completely retracted into the shell and remain in the shell.
The outer part of the shell is sometimes more than 10 centimeters long and shaped like an elephant's trunk, hence the name geoduck.
Lives in sea areas with water depths of 6m-30m and sandy bottoms.
It is native to the coast of the North Pacific. The west coast of North America is the most plump. In 1998, China began to introduce geoduck, and some coastal areas of China began to breed it.
It is difficult to find geoducks for sketching in China, but due to the establishment of some breeding bases, some scattered geoducks will appear in some sea areas.
Geoducks feed on single-cell algae in seawater, and can also filter-feed sediments and organic debris. Its main enemies are fish such as crabs, starfish, snails, and plaice. Adult shells live on the seabed and have relatively large
Strong protective ability.
Geoducks grow rapidly in the first 4 years, and their first-instar shells are 5-6 cm long and weigh 36-40 grams;
2-year-old shells are 8-10 cm long and weigh 200-250 g;
The third-instar shell is 10-12 cm long and weighs 400-500 g;
The 4th instar shell is 12-15 cm long and weighs 500-800 g.
As the shell grows older, the growth of the shell gradually slows down, but the growth of the soft body can still continue, and the lifespan can reach more than 100 years.
Geoducks have the advantages of large size, fast growth, delicious taste, and high economic value.
The meat yield rate of geoduck is high, reaching about 60%-70%, which is unusual among shellfish. The main edible part is the aqueduct muscle, accounting for 30%-35% of the total consumption.
Each 100 grams contains 81 kcal of calories, 14.4 grams of protein, and 1.3 grams of fat. It has high nutritional value.
Geoduck is rich in protein, which can maintain potassium and sodium balance and eliminate edema.
It also has the effects of improving human immunity, lowering blood pressure and buffering anemia, and is helpful for human growth and development.
It can be said that geoducks are good things, but they are also very troublesome to capture.
Catching them requires divers to find the location of the geoduck, use a directional water jet called a "spike gun" to blow away the surrounding sediment, and then their siphons can be seen and they can be taken out.
When divers capture geoducks underwater, they will put them into the net bag they carry with them. After a certain number is caught, they will be hoisted back to the boat, and then the staff on the boat will handle and pack them.
This series of work requires manual work. In addition, labor costs have gradually increased over the years, making it very expensive.
There were only four of them in front of Ye Yuan's eyes. They must have escaped from a nearby breeding farm for some unknown reason.
Anyway, Ye Yuan didn't intend to let go of this thing when he encountered it. Although it was a little troublesome, after all, there were only four of them, so it could be done quickly.
When Ye Yuan pulled the geoducks out of the sea sand, the size was clear at a glance. Each of these geoducks weighed more than 1 kilogram, which was pretty good.
Put a few geoducks into the pocket you brought with you. After all, these are for entertaining the second child, and there is no need to put them in the space.
Keep searching under the sea to see if you can find any other good things.
After searching around for a while but finding no interesting seafood, Ye Yuan had no choice but to return to the boat and head towards the next destination.
It was a reef stall, not far from Pinghai County, but the terrain there was complicated and many fishing boats were reluctant to go there.
Ye Yuan parked the boat far away from the reef and swam towards the reef stall.
Coming to this reef, Ye Yuan searched carefully. Ye Yuan heard his father say that there is only one specialty here, and that is oysters.
Oysters generally refer to oysters, commonly known as sea oysters, which are molluscs.
It is the world's largest cultivated shellfish, one of the important marine biological resources available to humans, and a globally distributed species.
Oysters are not only delicious and nutritious, but also have unique health care functions and medicinal value. They are a seafood treasure with high nutritional value.
The zinc content of oysters ranks first among human foods.
It is believed that oysters can cure weakness, relieve erysipelas, lower blood pressure, nourish yin and strengthen yang.
What Ye Yuan valued most was the last effect. As for why? Because of people like Lao Er.dddd.
After calculating and adding several specialties in space, there would be no problem in entertaining the second brother and the others. Ye Yuan asked Ding Yi to sail straight to the Pinghai County pier.
Arriving at the Pinghai County Pier, it was still half an hour until 10 o'clock. Ye Yuan first found a small restaurant with a good location beside the pier to eat.
After all, I got up early to catch the sea, and it’s now past 9 o’clock. If I say I’m not hungry, I’d be lying.
I sat by the window and ordered a bowl of seafood noodles and a few side dishes.
This location can directly see the dock. Even if Lao Er and the others arrive early, Ye Yuan can still see it.
