My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang was amazed.

Sea lions are very greedy creatures. If there is enough food, they will never give up until they eat their belly full. They will never share the food they catch with their companions just because there is enough food.

If there is a shortage of food, sea lions will even fight with their companions because of food.

When a companion is injured, the fact that sea lions visit their companions with food in their mouths has never been clearly documented by biologists in this group of sea lions.

Xiang Yang stood up from the humpback whale, wanting to witness this miraculous scene.

As a result, what Xiang Yang saw next was even more surprising than the sea lion sharing food with his companions.

I saw those sea lions that caught sea fish divided into two groups on the sea surface, one group swam towards the male whale with their fins planing, and the other group swam towards the female whale clumsily writhing their fat bodies.

The male whale sank slightly and looked at the sea lion in front of him in doubt.

The female whale blew and made a threat.

The sea lion swayed its plump body and sent the sea fish in its mouth to the two humpback whales to let go.

These sea fish have been killed by sea lions. As soon as the sea lion let go, some of them slowly sank toward the bottom of the sea, while others floated on the sea surface with their belly turned upside down.

Both humpbacks stared as the sea lions ignored the fish.

When the sea lions saw that the humpback whale didn't eat sea fish, they immediately became anxious. Several sea lions immediately went back to the bottom of the sea and brought the sunken sea fish back to the surface and put them on the humpback whale's big mouth.

After repeating this several times, the male whale finally opened its mouth and swallowed all the sea fish in one gulp.

"Well!"

The sea lion screamed excitedly when the male whale opened its mouth to eat the fish they had caught, and the injured sea lion on the male whale's back was even more excited to pat the humpback whale's back with its pectoral fin.

"Woo—" the female whale uttered a loud cry and flicked its tail. He also swallowed the sea fish in front of him in one gulp.

The sea lions immediately went down to the bottom of the sea one by one, and when they came up again, they all held a sea fish, big or small, in their mouths.

"These guys." Xiang Yang looked at the two humpback whales who had been playing with the sea lions for a while, and laughed out loud, feeling that the sea lions came fishing to please the two humpback whales!

I really don't know each other. Xiang Yang could see that both the sea lions and the humpback whales were really excited when they played together. That kind of excitement came from the inner instinct, not a disguise at all.

Xiang Yang patted the head of the male humpback whale, signaling it to swim towards the fishing boat.

The male whale shook its huge head and sank into the water. When it surfaced again, a three-meter-long sea lion appeared on its body.

The sea lion held a ball-shaped thing in its mouth, and the pectoral fins scratched it in front of Xiang Yang, then raised its head and sent the thing in its mouth to Xiang Yang.

"This is for me?" Xiang Yang pointed to himself and said happily.

The sea lion didn't know if he understood Xiang Yang's words, anyway, Xiang Yang raised his head higher after speaking.

Xiang Yang reached out to take the ball-shaped thing in the sea lion's mouth, and then stroked the sea lion's head.

The sea lion immediately responded to Xiang Yang's excited snore.

After teasing the sea lion for a while, Xiang Yang looked at the object in his hand. It was a sea urchin covered with spines on a hard shell.

To be honest, it was also the first time for Xiang Yang to watch live sea urchins up close.

Sea urchins like to live on the seabed where algae is abundant and the salinity is high. Naturally timid sea urchins like to hide in the crevices of the reef during the day and only emerge from the crevices of the rocks at night to move around and look for food. Even if Xiang Yang passes by, he may not be able to spot him.

The reproductive ability of sea urchins is very strong, but there are too many sea urchins, which will not have a good effect on the entire ocean ecosystem, because the main food of sea urchins is seaweed, and if there are enough sea urchins, it can even wipe out the seaweed in the entire sea area. clean.

The sea lion kept watching Xiang Yang eagerly when he looked at the sea urchin, as if the next moment if Xiang Yang didn't eat it, it would cry aloud with grievance.

"You guy." Xiang Yang noticed the sea lion's eyes and rubbed its head with a smile.

The way to eat sea urchin is very simple. Use a quick stone to pry open its hard shell and take out the bright yellow tender meat inside. It can be eaten directly. The taste is not very delicious, but its medicinal value is very high.

Eating sea urchins can reduce phlegm and reduce swelling. If people who often smoke and stay up late feel chest cramps when they wake up in the morning, they can try eating a few sea urchins to relieve this symptom.

But Xiang Yang really didn't dare to swallow the sea urchin directly.

First of all, the sea urchin in Xiang Yang's hand is a ring-spined sea urchin that lives in the coral reefs of the South my country Sea. This kind of sea urchin has toxicity in its body, unlike Liao urchin, which can be eaten directly.

Xiang Yang can clearly see that there is a barb at the end of each stinger on this sea urchin, which is where its venom is injected. Although the poisonousness of the ring-spined sea urchin is not very strong, it is sure to be red, swollen and painful when pierced. of.

Xiang Yang was wearing leather gloves for diving, so he was not afraid of being stabbed by these venomous thorns, but Xiang Yang really couldn't eat the sea urchin meat in it when he knocked it open.

"Crack!" Xiang Yang smashed the sea urchin hard on the diving tank behind him, and the hard shell of the sea urchin burst open immediately.

After peeling off the shell and taking out the meat, Xiang Yang sent a ball of bright yellow sea urchin meat to the injured sea lion.

Xiang Yang thought that the injured sea lion would refuse to eat it, but as soon as the sea urchin meat was delivered, the injured sea lion swallowed the sea urchin meat in one gulp, then smacked its lips and looked at Xiang Yang as if asking if there was any more.

Xiang Yang smiled, these animals are really willful, they have any thoughts written on their faces without being coy at all.

A group of sea lions and two humpback whales played and swam all the way towards the fishing boat. The back of the injured sea lion gradually became swollen.

The back became swollen, but the sea lion didn't seem to be in as much pain as before. After lying on the back of the male humpback whale for a while, it planed its fins and slid into the sea.

In order to avoid accidents, Xiang Yang dived into the sea and followed closely behind him.

I have to say that the sea lion's resilience is really strong, and after just a short while, it can swim again on the bottom of the sea. Although the swimming speed is very slow, Xiang Yang can clearly see the sea lion's pulling force when he occasionally twists his waist. He grimaced at the pain from the injury, but he was indeed able to move normally. If a human being is slapped by the fin of a humpback whale, even if he is rescued, he may not be able to get out of bed for two or three months.

Not long after, Xiang Yang swam back to the sea area where the fishing boat was with a group of sea lions and two humpback whales.

The sea lions were all overjoyed when they saw the huge school of fish under this sea area, and they all plunged into the bottom of the sea suddenly.

A group of ferocious sea lions broke into the fish school, and the leisurely fish school on the bottom of the sea suddenly became panic-stricken. The crew members who were salvaging pearls on the seabed keenly discovered the changes in the bottom of the sea, and immediately swam to the surface of the sea.
