My Deep-sea Fishery

Chen Qingsheng took the dead wood out of the mud.

It's a pity that the conditions for the formation of beeswax are very harsh. In the end, Xiang Yang was unable to find a second piece of beeswax.

On the contrary, Fang Youqun, who wanted to be lazy but also energetic, took a few people and found a kind of unknown sea clam under the sea at the edge of the deserted island.

From the appearance, these sea clams are only the size of ordinary sea clams, and they are not even fat.

But after opening the oyster, I found that there are pearls inside, and the number of pearls in each oyster shell is not many, the quality of each pearl is very high, and the color of these pearls is also very strange, at first glance it is black, It almost made Xiang Yang excited, but when he looked carefully, he found that these pearls were not really black pearls, but because the color was too dark, they looked black.

In fact, these pearls are all dark green or dark blue, and each one exudes a thick jewel, and has an opaque inner core.

Generally speaking, there are only five colors of pearls in nature, white, black, orange, gold and pink. Green pearls and blue pearls are all artificially cultivated.

Seeing the dark green natural pearls, Xiang Yang was also surprised.

Xiang Yang immediately ordered all the crew to give up digging dead wood, and everyone went to sea to salvage this strange pearl oyster.

Although Xiang Yang has never seen this kind of dark green pearls, he believes that as a kind of natural renewable jewelry, the standard of evaluating its value is the market demand.

This kind of dark green pearl is very expensive at first glance, it is very good-looking, and most of its appearance is full and round. The most important thing is that the market pays attention to a thing that is rare. These dark green pearls are so rare, it must be a good product. thing.

The crew went down to the sea in a swarm, and grabbed the shells one by one into the net bag.

Even the dead clam shells, the crew did not let go.

Because many times, the clam shell dies, but the pearl is still there.

The crew broke open the dead shells one by one, took out the pearls inside, and threw them into the net bag.

In addition to dark green and dark blue pearls, some people also found a pink pearl.

"It's weird." Xiang Yang pinched a pink pearl with two fingers, and put it under the sun for a closer look, his eyes were full of doubts.

"What's the matter? Captain?" Chen Qingsheng asked curiously, "Isn't this just an ordinary pink pearl?"

"No." Xiang Yang shook his head, "Natural pearls can't be so plump, and the color looks like pink, but it's actually rosy white. The deeper the inside, the layering is distinct, this is definitely a cultured pearl.”

"There is such a thing?" Chen Qingsheng took the pearl in disbelief, "But this is indeed a deserted island, and the nearest mainland is at least a few hundred kilometers away from here. Who would raise pearls here? mussel?"

Xiang Yang pondered for a moment, they are now close to the East China Sea.

The East China Sea has always been the most important seafood producing area in my country. There are many fishing grounds and fish species. Most of the fishing vessels are concentrated in the East China Sea.

In the past ten years, due to the continuous illegal discharge of industrial waste water from inland water systems into the East China Sea, coupled with overfishing in neighboring countries, and nuclear waste pollution, the fishery resources in the entire East China Sea have declined sharply.

Last year, the price of bamboo saury, one of the pillars of aquatic products in our neighboring country, more than tripled. The reason is that there are not many bamboo saury in the entire East China Sea.

Although the depletion of fishery resources in the East China Sea is not as serious as reported on the self-media platform, it is said that in the entire East China Sea, one fish cannot be seen for thousands of miles.

However, with the increase in marine garbage, white garbage, nuclear waste, and industrial wastewater in recent years, the fishery resources in the East China Sea have indeed decreased.

Take the Zhoushan fishing ground as an example.

The former Zhoushan Fishing Ground was a world-class top fishing ground alongside the Newfoundland Fishing Ground and the Peruvian Fishing Ground. Every time after the fishing moratorium, the boats sailing past the Zhoushan Fishing Ground were non-stop day and night. In the true sense, thousands of sails competed and hundreds of boats competed. flow.

The rich fishery resources of Zhoushan Fishing Ground have even been included in geography textbooks, and even appeared in college entrance examination questions.

However, today, the Zhoushan fishing ground is really deserted.

For example, large yellow croaker, one of the most important economic fish in the Zhoushan fishing ground, has now been listed as a protected animal by many provinces, and fishing is strictly prohibited.

In recent years, some great figures have shouted the slogan of wanting mountains of gold and silver, as well as green water and green mountains. The discharge of industrial wastewater and the amount of white garbage have dropped sharply, which has restored some vitality to the fishery resources in the East China Sea.

However, the marine garbage that has already sunk to the bottom of the sea and floated to the entire East China Sea cannot be recovered in a short time at all.

Even marine debris is so difficult to deal with, let alone nuclear waste.

It is simply impossible to completely restore the fishery resources and marine ecological environment of the entire East China Sea.

"These sea mussels around this deserted island should have been stocked here by some fishermen when the fishery resources in the East China Sea were abundant in the past. Later, the fishery resources in the East China Sea were exhausted. Those fishermen who stocked these pearl mussels may have switched to work. Aquaculture has been done, and the fishing boats have been sold, so gradually, these pearl mussels were forgotten, and they were picked up cheap by us in a few days." Xiang Yang guessed.

"Ah?" Chen Qingsheng's face collapsed immediately, "We have been fishing for feelings for so long, are these all farmed mussels?"

As we all know, although natural pearls and cultured pearls are both pearls, their prices differ by hundreds of thousands of miles.

If it is such a natural pearl, the price will be sold according to how much it is per gram.

But if it's cultured pearls, it's only a few hundred dollars a piece, and the cheaper ones are even tens or tens of dollars a piece.

With the increasing demand for pearls, more and more people cultivate pearls, which makes cultured pearls less and less valuable.

In two thousand years, a pearl necklace produced by akoya, a well-known brand in cultured pearls, can sell for tens of thousands of yuan in Yangcheng.

In 2002, a string of Akoya's pearl necklaces sold for just over 900 yuan on an e-commerce platform.

"There are so many natural pearls for you." Xiang Yang smiled, "This deserted island has been deserted for at least five years, and these pearls are all very large in size. There are very few such large particles among cultured pearls. Let's be content."

Hearing this, Chen Qingsheng also laughed, "Yes, I got a bargain and acted like a good boy, but, captain, how much do you think these pearls can sell for?"

Looking carefully at the one in his hand, he shook his head and said, "It's hard to estimate, but such a large particle should be worth at least a few hundred yuan."
