My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 61 The Sapphire

In addition to swimming crabs, tiger head crabs, large lobsters, octopus, and squid, Xiang Yang also caught a large number of saury in this net.

There are also quite a few rare catches, the most precious of which are two Sumei fish raised in a large tank.

Sumei fish mainly live in warm waters with high water temperature, and it is inevitable to migrate southward when encountering cold currents.

Sumei fish likes to shuttle between coral reefs and rocks. It is the most precious coral fish. Sumei fish is a sea fish, but after artificial cultivation, there are a large number of freshwater sunmei fish in the market.

The wild sea wraith is named for the brightly colored striped markings on its body and the two black stripes over the eyes that resemble eyebrows.

Xiang Yang threw a few colorful marine fishes with highly poisonous and non-edible value into the water tank containing the snails as food. The highly toxic substances are natural supplements for the snails, and the food contains Not only will the toxins contained in the fish not be poisoned, but it will gather in the body of the fish and become its magic weapon for protection.

"Brother Yang, what kind of fish are these?" Seeing that Xiang Yang paid so much attention to those two strange fishes, Fang Youqun couldn't help but leaned forward and asked while feeding the two strange fishes before he even finished cleaning up the catch.

Xiang Yang smiled, "Su Meiyu."

Fang Youqun nodded half-understood, "Is this fish expensive? You just feed Brother Yang when you catch it?"

"I like it, so I feed it, don't you think this fish is very beautiful?"

The two wraiths in the water tank are extremely elegant even if they prey on food. They slowly swim up to a colorful and highly poisonous sea fish, swallow it with one mouth, and then stay still in the water tank. In the process of its predation, it is impossible to imagine that it has preyed just now.

Sumei fish has a very beautiful appearance and a relatively docile temperament, so it can be used as an ornamental fish.

However, except for the real local tyrants or places with sufficient grades, it is impossible to raise the Sumei fish as an ornamental fish, because the edible value of the Sumei fish is so high that the supply is in short supply, and it is necessary to snatch a Sumei fish that is already in short supply from the foodies. The difficulty can be described as not small. Most of the snails in the ornamental fish market are freshwater snails that have been artificially bred. They are better than wild snails and more docile, but they lack a characteristic of wild snails. spirituality.

It is precisely because of that spirituality that the eccentric wild Sumei fish is very playful. When divers encounter Sumei fish at the bottom of the sea, they will chase and play with divers. Divers can’t push them away. It was the divers who just pushed the wagtail fish away, and the next moment the wagtail wags its tail and sticks to it.

"It's really beautiful. Brother Yang, do you want to keep them?" Fang Youqun's eyes lit up.

"I can't afford to serve these two guys. Let's see if I can find a suitable buyer for them when I get back." Xiang Yang laughed. In fact, wild snails are still of great ornamental value. Although they are harder to feed than freshwater fish, their lifespan is extremely long, so long that they can even witness the birth, old age, sickness and death of a sea turtle. The long lifespan of snails is enough to make up for seawater breeding expensive expenses.

"It's really a pity to sell the two grown-up Sumei fish as edible fish." He Mingde also moved his head closer, "Xiaoyang, can you find a market for them as ornamental fish?"

"Try it." Xiang Yang shrugged his shoulders, "I don't dare to sell it if I can't sell it as an ornamental fish."

Sumei fish grows slowly and has a limited number of reproduction. In addition, human beings overfish and eat it as an economic fish. At present, there are no traces of Sumei fish in many coral reef areas. Now the Sumei fish has disappeared. It has been included in the ranks of endangered protected animals. Although it is not a national protected animal, it also covers several provinces and cities.

Now no one in the market dares to blatantly buy and sell wild Sumei fish meat. There are rumors on the black market that Sumei fish meat has been fried to thousands of dollars per catty, but it is not allowed to eat, but it is allowed to trade for ornamental purposes.

"If you don't have a sale, I have one, but I can't guarantee whether it will be sold." He Mingde said.

"Oh?" Xiang Yang looked at He Mingde.

"There is a fish game trading market in Longcheng City. I will take you to have a look when I go back this time." He Mingde smiled.

At this time, Chen Qingsheng came over, "Lao He, the freshwater snails traded in the Yuwan trading market cost only a few hundred yuan a piece. I don't think much about trading wild snails."

It is very simple to distinguish the freshwater wrasse from the wild wrasse. The stripes on the wild wrasse are as obvious as the zebra stripes, and the colors are also very bright. The patterns on their faces are even more unique, from the eyes to the It radiates out, and the patterns of each wraith are different, just like human fingerprints, which are simply the natural business cards of wild wraiths.

"Of course it's not easy to sell, otherwise I wouldn't say I went to see it." He Mingde laughed.

"There will always be someone who knows what to buy." Xiang Yang doesn't think that these two wraiths will not be sold. Xiang Yang, who has experience in selling French blue dragons, seems more confident than He Mingde and others.

He Mingde and Chen Qingsheng wisely continued to clean up the catch, and did not disappoint Xiang Yang.

"Fang You has a mission for you." Xiang Yang said.

"Brother Yang, tell me." Fang Youqun immediately said loudly.

"Take good care of these two eyebrow fishes for me, and feed them these colorful little fishes on time every day." Xiang Yang said.

"Ah?" Fang Youqun's face collapsed in an instant, "I thought it was such a big task, just feed the fish when you co-authored it?"

Xiang Yang didn't explain, and continued to smile and stare at the rest of the catch.

The catch in this net is very large, and the crab alone weighs more than 7,000 catties, and many of them are more than four taels, and the total value can be three to four hundred thousand.

With the addition of other catches such as lobster, cuttlefish, and wrasse, as well as the small yellow croakers caught earlier, Xiang Yang's net income from this trip will exceed one million even if there is no catch.

Xiang Yang was in a great mood, he threw all the valuable catches into the water tank, kept the rare catches in the water tank, and put all the remaining cheap sea fish in foam tanks, added ice and salt, and sent them to the freezer when the moon had already climbed up It is in the middle of the sky.

After clearing more than 20,000 catties of fish, the crew members were exhausted, "Captain, let's go to rest." Chen Fusheng said with a tired face.

"Wait first." Xiang Yang smiled and called the crew who were going to rest in the cabin, and pointed to the sky, "What is that?"

The crew members looked up at the sky, they were all pitch-black, what the hell?

"It's the moon! Didn't you even check the time? You can't answer such a simple question. It's already past twelve o'clock, and it's the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th." He Mingde laughed loudly.

"Mid-Autumn Festival?" A group of crew members looked puzzled, and the idea of ​​homesickness came to mind.

"I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and hope that all the good things will come as promised. Thank you for floating on the sea with me during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After discussing with my uncle, I decided to give each of you 1,000 yuan. Red envelopes." Xiang Yang juggled a stack of red envelopes from his hand.
