My Deep-sea Fishery

As a result, the male whale was very surprised to find that Xiang Yang did not "chasing" them this time, and there was a white "treasure box" in Xiang Yang's hand, which contained a lot of delicious "snacks".

The male whale flicked its tail immediately, swam forward for a while, and then looked up at Xiang Yang.

Seeing that Xiang Yang didn't move, the male whale became more courageous, accelerated and swam to the left side of the boat.

Xiang Yang dumped a whole box of cuttlefish in his hand into the sea.

The two humpback whales immediately opened their mouths and went to swallow.

"Strange." Xia Pengjie frowned and said, "I seem to remember that humpback whales should not eat in winter."

"That's right, it's not right." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "It is true that humpback whales only hunt in summer. In winter, they can rely on the fat stored in their bodies to survive the entire winter. They can survive the entire winter without eating food. But that doesn't mean they can't eat food all winter."

Speaking of which, the predation phenomenon of humpback whales is very spectacular. They know a very special way of predation, called net post predation.

This requires a large group of humpback whales to dive under the school of fish and form a huge circle around the school of fish.

When the encirclement is formed, a large group of humpback whales will swim quickly under the fish school, and use the blowholes to spray air upwards to form a network of water bubbles to drive the fish school more densely.

When the density of the fish school reaches a certain level, the humpback whales will suddenly open their mouths and jump up, swallowing tens of thousands of sea fish in one bite.

But this spectacular sight is hard to see even in summer.

Eight to twelve humpback whales are generally required to participate in the net post hunting method, and the diameter of the blister net can sometimes even reach 30 meters.

This post-feeding method, once hailed by marine biologists as the most exotic marine mammal hunting method, has been accompanied by the gradual decline of humpback whales. Now this "craft" is on the verge of being lost.

Two humpback whales chased after the ocean-going fishing boat, causing the crew to take pictures and post them on Moments.

Many crew members on Xiang Yang’s ship are graduates of Ocean University. Many people in their friend list often deal with the ocean. After the photos were uploaded, they immediately attracted the attention of many people. Some of these people are from Ocean University. Students, faculty members, and even experts and professors, including some biologists and members of the Marine Animal Protection Association, liked the photos one after another, and left messages asking about the approximate location of the two humpback whales.

But at this time, the boat was very close to Qinglongwan Wharf, Xiang Yang and the others could even see the figures on the wharf, and the people on the wharf naturally saw the two humpback whales, and they all exclaimed : "Look, whale!"

As soon as the news spread, a large group of people crowded onto the Qinglong Bend pier, staring at the sea in amazement.

When the male whale came out of the water to breathe, it may have seen the "little man" on the edge of the pier, snorted very cheerfully in its nostrils, and then uttered a loud and clear whale cry.

"Woo--"

Accompanied by this whale cry, the male humpback whale spewed out a short, thick and scorching gas from its nostrils, and the gas rolled out of the surrounding sea water together, forming a spectacular water column near Qinglongwan Wharf !

"Woo--"

It is really like the sound of a siren, the sound of the whale is very loud and has a strong penetrating power, as if a steam engine is running at full power.

"Called, called."

"I heard the whale calling."

"Come and listen, the cry of the whale."

The villagers on the shore shouted excitedly and waved desperately at the two humpback whales.

The male whale seemed to have sensed the enthusiasm of the villagers in Yanlong Village on the shore. It slapped its tail fin under the foggy water column, and then jumped out of the water with a calm and graceful movement.

It jumped out of the sea with a distance of four to five meters, then stretched out all its fins in mid-air, then turned its head down, and plunged headfirst into the sea.

"boom!"

As if a depth charge exploded under the sea, there was a loud noise on the surface of the sea, and at the same time, a huge snow-white wave several stories high was set off where the humpback whale landed.

"This big guy is very naughty!" Chen Qingsheng covered his ears and sweated.

Xiang Yang also smiled wryly.

The humpback whale was having fun, but it hurt Xiang Yang and the others.

Just now when the male whale jumped out of the water and then fell into the water, Xiang Yang estimated that it could be heard thousands of meters away. The ocean-going fishing boat was only a dozen meters away from the whale. The whole body was soaked in water.

"Stop making trouble, big head." Xiang Yang shouted towards the boat.

Xia Pengjie looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously, "Captain, can the whale understand you when you shout like that?"

"It's definitely possible." Xiang Yang said: "Humpback whales are very smart. Their IQ is equivalent to that of a four- or five-year-old child. This male whale is even more intelligent. When I saw it for the first time Do you know what it's doing? It's asking humans to help clean up the barnacles on him."

Xia Pengjie smiled far-fetchedly. He felt that what Xiang Yang said was too outrageous.

Xia Pengjie is not someone who doesn't know anything about animals. On the contrary, he likes animals very much.

He has a dog at home, and it is said to be the smartest big golden retriever among pet dogs.

Xia Pengjie thinks that the big golden retriever he raised is also very smart. Every time he goes back, the big golden retriever will immediately jump on him to greet him. When he goes out, just shout, and the big golden retriever will go home by itself. Squat down and watch him leave, don't chase after him, the big golden retriever will squat under the table by itself when the meal is served, as long as he calls, the big golden retriever will run over.

However, to say that animals will seek human help?

Xia Pengjie held a negative attitude.

Xia Pengjie's home is in the countryside. There are annoying plants such as cockleburs everywhere on the mountains, wasteland, and field ridges. As long as the big golden retriever goes out for a stroll, it will often come back with cockleburs all over its body.

Xia Pengjie often saw the big golden retriever lying on the ground and biting hard into his hair with his teeth, in order to bite off the cocklebur in the hair, even if the big golden retriever bites the cocklebur more tightly, the big golden retriever He never asked for his help. Sometimes Xia Pengjie went to help the dog clean up the cockleburs on his body, and the big golden retriever would bark his teeth at Xia Pengjie.

Xiang Yang smiled after hearing what Xia Pengjie had said. In fact, there were only some differences between the two.

The cocklebur sticking to the dog’s body, the general dog is actually able to get the cocklebur from the body, even if it can’t be removed for a while, the dog still has a way to smooth the cocklebur on the body bit by bit In short, the time a cocklebur ball exists on a dog generally does not exceed half a month, and it will fall off within half a month at most.

The barnacles on humpback whales are different.

As long as barnacles appear on humpback whales, they will never fall off naturally without special measures, and they will multiply more and more as time goes by.

Sometimes the humpback whales are made very uncomfortable by the barnacles, and the humpback whales will even swim to places with reefs by themselves, and hit the reefs hard, even if they hit their heads and bleed.

Xiang Yang even saw a report that a humpback whale died of barnacles.
