Godly Fisherman

Chapter 674: Earthquake fish

The so-called "earthquake fish" is actually the king hairtail.

The king hairtail is the longest bony fish on the earth, the longest can reach more than ten meters in length. Although the whale shark can reach more than twenty meters, the whale shark is a cartilaginous fish.

King hairtail is not a hairtail, but the shape is very similar to the hairtail we usually eat. They are all flat and long, but they are dozens of times larger than ordinary hairtail. The body is silver, but the back has a red dorsal fin from head to tail, which is its biggest feature.

However, because the emperor hairtail has always inhabited the deep sea and has a long body, it was often mistaken for sea snakes and sea monsters in ancient times. In Southeast Asia, it was once mistaken for the legendary "dragon" to appear.

Like hairtail, king hairtail is also a carnivorous fish. After all, it lives in the deep sea, where food is scarce. In order to survive, king hairtail has evolved over a long period of time and has become ferocious. Hairtails are not forgotten, and their predation method is also very interesting. When the prey approaches, it pops out like a spring to prey. It is a standard fish that waits for a rabbit.

Although the word difference between king hairtail and hairtail, it is two completely different species from hairtail. Hairtail belongs to the Perciforme hairtail family, while the king hairtail belongs to the Moonfish order. The moonfish that Xiao Peng encountered while sailing across the Pacific Ocean were close relatives, although the hairtail looked like a belt and the moonfish looked like a pot lid. The gap between hairtail and king hairtail is probably as big as the gap between humans and macaques. Except for their similar body shapes, the only thing they have in common is probably what they look like when they are resting and swimming.

Hairtail and emperor hairtail are not very capable of swimming. When they are resting in the sea, they all look the same: their heads up and their bodies stand vertically in the sea. Only rely on the swing of the dorsal fin and pectoral fin to maintain balance. Observe the movement above. If a prey is found, the dorsal fin vibrates at high speed and rushes towards it. It is a blessing for fishermen to encounter a school of hairtails in the sea. There are thousands of hairtails in the sea waiting to be caught in a ‘looking at the sky’ attitude. Generally speaking, encountering a school of hairtails means getting rich.

But the king hairtail is not like this. It lives alone. Apart from the breeding period, it is almost not together. What's strange is that in the waters where the king hairtail breeds, they have never been found to have killed each other. Scientists speculate King hairtail secretes a special enzyme during the breeding season to suppress its urge to kill each other.

The reason why emperor hairtail is called "earthquake fish" is because only when an undersea earthquake occurs, this fish will be shaken up and caught by people. When emperor hairtail was found in the fishing ground, Xiao Peng first thought, should there be an earthquake in Haiti nearby? But Xiao Peng himself did not feel the existence of the earthquake. It should be the nearby sea. After all, king hairtail is a fish that is sensitive to earthquakes.

Yang Meng listened to Xiao Peng's words and was dumbfounded: "Big Brother, you said to prepare tools, what tools do you use?"

"Uh..." Xiao Peng was also stunned. What tools did he use? how could I know? Haven't encountered this stuff before! Catch it? What kind of fishing? Come online? Correct! Come online!

"Prepare to trawl, big hole trawl!" Xiao Peng shouted to Yang Meng. He didn't want to use spiritual enlightenment on this thing. He had other uses for emperor hairtail.

Xiao Peng used the vertical sea technique in the sea to drive the king octopus into the fishing net. Finally, the nearly ten-meter-long king octopus swam into the trawl net. "Mengzi, be careful when catching this fish, don't hurt its appearance. I'm useful."

When Yang Meng heard it, he simply ran to the stern of the boat, reached into the fish’s mouth and dragged the fish: "I will leave you alive."

Xiao Peng took a look and said that this is a good way: "Okay, that's a hard work for you, let's get it back to the dock later. Be careful, don't let its teeth scratch."

Yang Meng made an OK gesture with his left hand: "What's wrong? Is this thing delicious?"

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "The meat of the stuff is like a paste, it's fluffy and not tasty."

"Then why do you catch it?" Yang Meng didn't understand, and was full of disappointment when it didn't taste good: "Since it's not good and it's still so big, should you keep it as a pet for fun?"

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Give it to Academician Liu as a gift, or keep it for what? They are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They are now like a veterinarian on our island. Can I give them inappropriate compensation? I look at the king hairtail fish should be good."

The two of them didn't care about getting in and out of the shrimp net and crab cage. Xiao Peng directly sailed to the place where the deep-sea net cage was placed. These deep-sea cages are empty except for the largest super cage for raising king salmon. Xiao Peng directly asked Mengzi to throw the king hairtail into the cage. The cages here are all empty. It is a large-hole net cage with a lot of small fish in it, which serves as emperor hairtail food.

After Xiao Peng finished all this, he went to find a location with Yang Meng and got out of the crab cage. Xiao Peng caught crabs very specifically this time. He only caught Japanese crabs, which is commonly known as "Shijiahong" on Qindao. 'The crab. Compared with the swimming crab, this crab has larger claws and more delicious and firm meat.

After getting out of the crab cage, Xiao Peng took the phone and called Pan Peiyu to confess. After anchoring the boat, he moved out of the sun lounger and umbrella, lying on the deck with Yang Meng, drinking red wine and smoking a cigar in comfort. Come.

Yang Meng was watching a TV series with an iPad, but Xiao Peng was taken aback: "Damn, are you still watching TV series?"

"No, a little girl showed me and said it was pretty hot. What is it called? "My Lower Body"? Oh no, it's called "My First Half Life". I can't stand it after watching it for one episode. But isn't it boring now? Pass the time." Yang Meng replied.

Xiao Peng smiled and asked, "How come you can't watch after watching an episode? By the way, you can also watch domestic TVs. Isn't that bloody?"

Yang Meng said: "Of course there is dog blood, but this kind of dog blood plot also happened in the magic capital. If it happened in Shandong, the first episode of Chen Junsheng would be killed by Luo Zijun ------ I don't know how sturdy Shandong women are. right?"

Xiao Peng couldn't laugh after listening to Yang Meng's words. After laughing, he took out two game consoles like a trick: "Come online! Watch me abuse you."

"Damn, what are you bragging about? I don't know who abuses whom?" The two enjoyed themselves playing at sea like this.

However, some people are happy and some are worried. When the two are having fun, some people are already going crazy.

It is not someone else who is going crazy, it is Pan Peiyu, and it is not someone else who is driving him crazy, it is Academician Liu Yixun.

"Can the boat hurry up?" Liu Yixun looked anxious.

Pan Peiyu said in air: "This is a ship, this is not an airplane! It's already the fastest." You must know that Pan Peiyu is driving the Dumpling, which is already the fastest on the island. This Academician Liu is still in a hurry.

Academician Liu listened to Pan Peiyu's answer, and then looked at Pan Peiyu's expression. Knowing that he was not happy anymore, he quickly shut up and stopped talking. He stared at Chen Zetao and Joanna who were sitting aside.

Two minutes later, Academician Liu turned his head and looked at Pan Peiyu again: "Can the ship hurry up?"

Pan Peiyu: "..."

After more than two hours of sailing, Academician Liu asked Pan Peiyu the same question no less than 40 times. In the end, Pan Peiyu couldn't help but was ready to throw Academician Liu into the sea, and Academician Liu came down honestly. He closed his mouth and watched Pan Peiyu sailing.

When they finally arrived on the Aralei, Pan Peiyu saw Xiao Peng on the ship and almost cried: "Boss, you are too awesome, you guys are playing here, let me suffer this crime?"

"What's the crime?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.

Pan Peiyu hasn't answered yet. Academician Liu has already climbed aboard the Alarei, and can't wait to ask: "Boss Xiao, where is the emperor hairtail? Is it really alive?"

Xiao Peng instantly understood what crime Pan Peiyu had suffered.

Xiao Peng turned around and said to Academician Liu: "Of course, what did I lie to you for!"

As a result, the game console in his hand made a sound, and Mengzi raised his hand: "I won! I scored!"

Xiao Peng took a look and snorted coldly: "It doesn't count, you cheat, I'm talking to someone, you are a sneak attack! Let's have another game!"

"Come on! Who is afraid of who!" Yang Meng said, after the two were online, they would fight another round.

Academician Liu was so anxious that he almost cried, and his words changed: "You two have time to play. Let me take a look. I'm really out of rush."

Xiao Peng wondered: "Academician Liu, this emperor hairtail should be the research object of the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences? What is your institute of Zoology doing so actively?"

Liu Yixun said anxiously: "Boss Xiao, you may not know that emperor hairtail has been found all over the world in recent years, but almost all of its corpses have been washed up on the coast. There are really very few living subjects. And there are two genera of emperor hairtail We only have one kind of specimen in China, which is the king hairtail. It was made in the 1950s and caught in the East China Sea. After so many years, the China Institute of Oceanography has not been able to correlate this fish. the study."

Xiao Peng questioned: "You can always capture a few of these things in a year in the south, why can't you study it? You can just get another specimen?"

Academician Liu smiled bitterly: "All the fish are eaten."

Xiao Peng was taken aback, okay, this answer is enough for Huaxia, why is Huaxia called China in English? It means porcelain? Young people are still too tender. The correct way of saying china should be: ‘china’, yes, it’s just ‘eat’! There is only one reason for all the foreign creatures that are flooding in China: they don’t taste good--all the delicious ones are eaten clean.

"Isn't it just a fish? Is there such a great research value?" Xiao Peng asked.

Academician Liu said: "This is a fish that is extremely sensitive to earthquakes. If you can find the answer, it will be of great help to my country's earthquake prediction."

When Xiao Peng heard this, he stood up and said, "If you say that, this thing is really worth studying. Mengzi, let's stop playing and put the crab cage away. Then go to the cage and let Academician Liu look at the one. fish."
