Chapter 97: Starfish Invasion

After hanging up the phone on Su Mei, several brothers in the dormitory all knew that Landao had experienced a powerful typhoon and called to express their regards.

It took an hour just to answer calls from various aspects.

Only then did Ye Yuan realize that his network of contacts had expanded a lot without even realizing it.

In the evening, the family had dinner together.

"Xiaoyuan, if nothing happens tomorrow, let's go out to sea. Me, you and your second uncle."

Ye Yuan looked at his father in surprise and said, "Huh? Why do you think of going to sea when you are so good?"

My mother smiled on the side and said: "You are young and don't know. As a fisherman, you will have a big harvest when you go to sea after a typhoon. This is passed down from the older generations."

After hearing his mother's explanation, Ye Yuan understood the reason and said:

"What's wrong with this? It's very simple. This is because when a typhoon passes through, the air pressure is very low, and the lower the air pressure, the lower the dissolved oxygen in the water.

Therefore, the oxygen in the water will decrease, and fish and shrimp will run up to absorb oxygen. This is the same as fish jumping out on rainy days."

The parents looked at each other, neither of them knew what Ye Yuan was talking about about the amount of dissolved oxygen in water. But when Ye Yuan asked this question, why did it sound much higher than what he said?

Dad didn't care what Ye Yuan said and asked directly:

"What do you mean?"

Ye Yuan thought for a while, "Then go and ask the workers if they are willing to go. It will be easier for us to work together."

This time I go overseas, excluding the gas money, I personally only get half of the harvest, and the rest of the profit is shared equally by those who go overseas, which can be regarded as a bonus."

"Okay, I'll count the number of people tomorrow morning.

"No, I'll call now." Dad didn't even eat anymore and started making phone calls.

Ye Yuan shook his head helplessly, his father had this kind of character, he started doing things in a hurry.

The next day, what Ye Yuan didn't expect was that all the workers would go to sea with him.

In the end, Ye Yuan had no choice but to agree, and his mother, second aunt, and several middle-aged women who cooked were left behind on the island. In the end, Li Hui was also left behind by Ye Yuan.

Ding Er was responsible for driving the ship, and the "Water Control" sailed away from the dock.

Even though the workers at the fishery were all fishermen in the early years, it was still the first time for them to board such a large modern fishing boat. Many workers still looked here and touched it.

The second uncle came over and patted Ye Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yuan has really grown up. Our old Ye family has a capable person like you."

"..."

The fishing boat was heading towards Huanzhong, and there were already many fishing boats around, some from the neighboring county, and some from Pinghai.

A worker recognized a nearby fishing boat and started shouting from a distance:

"Old Zhang, why does your village still use that broken boat? Look at the boat in our Yejia Village, isn't it magnificent?"

The other party ignored this person and turned away from the "Watermaster"

The workers on the ship burst into laughter when they saw this scene.

Dad explained beside Ye Yuan: "That's from Zhangjiawan. In the past, our Yejia Village often robbed fish because it was a big village with many people.

This time we have beaten them."

Seeing the old people on the boat who were over fifty laughing like children, Ye Yuan was sincerely pleased that the villagers were still simple.

If they don't like you, they will confront you. Unlike some workplaces, you won't know who stabbed you in the back until you die.

The speed of the "Yushui" was unmatched by those small fishing boats. It quickly pulled away all the boats and came to a relatively outer sea area. Before Ye Yuan could say anything, Ye's father had already taken over the fishing boat.

Organizing people to start going offline.

Ye Yuan ignored these, they are all old fishermen. Just be happy, and treat these uncles and uncles as compensation when you come out this time.

Ignoring his father and these old fishermen, Ye Yuan came to the bow of the boat alone, using his senses to take a look at the fish catch on the seabed.

When Ye Yuan sensed entering the sea and saw the scene on the seabed, Ye Yuan, who was usually calm, could no longer calm down.

The bottom of this sea area is densely covered with starfish. Ye Yuan's perception can detect very long distances in the sea.

However, within the perceptual distance, there are almost no other bottom creatures, and this sea area is almost occupied by starfish.

Starfish, along with sea cucumbers and sea urchins, are echinoderms.

They usually have five arms, but there are also four or six, and their bodies are flat and five-star shaped.

The entire body is made up of many calcium bone plates connected by connective tissue. There are protruding spines, tumors or warts and other appendages on the body surface.

On the underside of the starfish's wrist, there are 4 dense rows of tube feet arranged side by side.

They use their tube feet to capture prey and to cling to rocks. Large starfish have thousands of tube feet.

The starfish's mouth is in the middle of the lower side of its body and can be in direct contact with the surface of the object the starfish crawls over.

Starfish vary in size, ranging from as small as 2.5 centimeters to as large as 90 centimeters, and their body colors are also different. Almost every starfish is different. The most common colors are orange, red, purple, yellow and cyan.

Starfish can be said to be a disaster for shellfish farmers. Many countries have suffered heavy losses due to the invasion of starfish.

In Japan, millions of dollars are spent every year to control the damage caused by starfish.

Oyster farms in country m spend a lot of manpower and financial resources every year to deal with the harm caused by starfish.

At the same time, the dangers of starfish have attracted great attention from many countries.

Looking at the densely packed starfish under the sea, Ye Yuan's first reaction was starfish invasion. This was even worse for the farmers on Blue Island. They had just experienced the invasion of the typhoon, and there were immediately a large number of starfish invasion.

I really don’t know how many farmers can survive this situation.

Ye Yuan couldn't do anything when he saw the current situation. After all, his own strength was limited.

At this time, workers’ exclamations came from the stern:

"Why so many starfish?"

"It's not normal. This is too much."

"Isn't there a starfish nest down here?"

The workers were talking to each other, but they didn't find anything wrong.

I just think it's a little strange. Generally, starfish are not so densely distributed. Occasionally, starfish will be caught when going out to sea. But like this time, it is rare to catch so many in one net.

Ye Yuan came to the stern of the boat and didn't say anything. After all, he saw it with his senses, and it was hard to tell everyone.

Starfish of all sizes were placed on the deck. Looking around, the deck was full of starfish. It was estimated that they weighed several hundred kilograms.

These starfish are very big, they are all 20cm, and the larger ones reach 25cm. The workers did not arrive as much as Ye Yuan thought.

After all, they didn't know what was going on below, and they thought this was a phenomenon after Tan Feng passed away.

Everyone happily sorted the fish in the net with bamboo baskets. Dad walked to Ye Yuan's side

"With so many starfish, do you have a way to sell them?"

"I'm afraid there won't be enough fish to sell this thing, right?

I heard that some people caught this thing before, but it only cost 10 yuan per pound and no one wanted to take it.

I just don’t know if it will be better when they are older.”

The second uncle asked while sorting the catch.

Ye Yuan stopped chatting with his father and second uncle and instead ordered Ding Er to return home. He was going back to find a way to deal with this starfish invasion.
