My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 738 Antarctic Sleeper Shark

Xiang Yang was also overjoyed in his heart. His original intention was just to cast a net on the way to relieve boredom and pass the time. He didn't expect to catch much at all.

Unexpectedly, the surprise came so suddenly.

Xiang Yang hurriedly shouted: "Quickly, untie the fishing net, first check whether there are any dangerous marine life, and after eliminating the danger, immediately clean up the catch, put all the cheap catch in the freezer, and process all the cheap catch For fishmeal, the rare catch must be found immediately, so as not to let it die."

The crew sprang into action immediately.

The winch dragged the fishing net and lowered it slowly. Soon, a large bag of white sea fish was sprinkled all over the stern of the boat, jumping around alive and well. The big one might weigh hundreds of catties, and the small one might only be the size of Xiang Yang's finger. There is also an abundance of krill.

"Hey, I've always used medium-mesh fishing nets, why are there so many krill in it?" Chen Qingsheng groaned, expressing his puzzlement.

Reasonably speaking, with the size of the mesh of this fishing net, not to mention that krill is a living thing, when it is caught in the net, it will flee desperately. If you fall out, it will be difficult to stay.

Xiang Yang patted Chen Qingsheng on the shoulder, "Forget about why there are so many krills, go and see if there are any rare catches."

"Yes, Captain, come and see, these alive and kicking are all Antarctic ice fish, and these white flat ones are all silver pomfret, these are all valuable sea fish." Chen Qingsheng shouted excitedly.

Xiang Yang looked there, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Good guy, there are hundreds of Antarctic ice fish, and there are probably silver pomfrets weighing no less than a thousand catties."

"Captain, you have to give out red envelopes." Chen Qingsheng joked.

"Send, everyone will give, you will give 5,000, and everyone else will get 2,000 each, but the first task now is to clear up all the catches, otherwise, the bonus will be gone." Yang smiled heartily.

Let’s not talk about the specific harvest of this net.

Each of these wild Antarctic icefish is very valuable, and they are not sold by the catty at all, but by the strip. This kind of fish, whose blood is as white as milk, has been a treasure among seafood since human beings discovered it.

Those silver pomfrets are also not cheap. Unlike Jinchang fish, silver pomfret can be farmed in large quantities, so their value has plummeted. Wild silver pomfret currently costs two to three hundred yuan a catty in wholesale markets.

Adding these two together alone, Xiang Yang can't make less than one million.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingsheng immediately promised: "Captain, don't worry, I will take people to clean up the catch right now."

The rest of the crew members were all so excited and full of energy that they didn't need Chen Qingsheng to lead them.

Following a generous boss has many benefits.

If they were to change to another boss, it would be great if they could pay two hundred overtime pay each, unlike Xiang Yang, who paid two thousand per mouth.

Naturally, the crew all cherish such a boss, and they all work hard.

"Fang Youqun, help me get a fish rake and remove this pile of catches." Xiang Yang pointed at the pile of catches and shouted towards Fang Youqun.

Fang Youqun quickly dropped the harpoon in his hand, and ran over with a rake on his shoulders, "Brother Yang, I'm here."

I saw Fang Youqun pawing hard at the mountain-like catch with a rake.

"Huh, it turned out to be an Antarctic sturgeon." The joy on Xiang Yang's face instantly became stronger.

Sturgeon is also a very high-end seafood treasure.

In particular, cod liver oil made from sturgeon has always been known as liquid gold.

Among all Antarctic fishes, Antarctic cod is one of the largest fish species in Antarctica, up to 1.5 meters in length and 25 kg in weight. In particular, the discovery of antifreeze protein in its body fluid has aroused people's widespread interest, and it is a top-notch food suitable for all ages.

Fang Youqun didn't stop, and he used the rake to pull on the pile of catches a few more times.

"Wow, look, what I found." Fang Youqun suddenly shouted in surprise when he was halfway through the scraping.

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, put down an Antarctic sturgeon in his hand, and joked: "Why, can you still pull out gold from it?"

As a result, Xiang Yang looked back and was shocked instantly, "Hey, isn't this a shark?"

When everyone heard this, they quickly put down their work and looked at the shark.

I saw that the shark was about two meters long, with huge fins and sharp teeth in its mouth.

"This, isn't this the legendary megalodon?" A crew member recalled the appearance of the megalodon he had seen on TV, and compared it bit by bit, he always felt that it was very similar, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, "How could it be a megalodon, if it were a megalodon, someone might have been swallowed by us now, besides, how could there be such a small megalodon."

The megalodon was once one of the most powerful existences in the shark family, and it has long been extinct.

The megalodon fossils that have been discovered so far have an average length of 14 meters and a weight of 40 tons.

Part of the vertebral fossils of the discovered megalodon is much larger than that of the great white shark. It is speculated that its maximum length can grow to 18 meters and its weight can reach 70 tons. It is one of the largest predators in history, and it is also the largest fish, but so far no complete vertebral skeleton fossils have been found to prove its speculation.

Megalodon may be the creature with the strongest bite force found in the history of the earth. The maximum bite force is estimated to be about 20 tons. Its oral bite force exceeds that of Tyrannosaurus rex, and it can easily crush the ribs of whales.

If such a terrifying creature existed, even killer whales would not dare to stroke its whiskers.

However, the giant tooth shark only lived in the late Miocene epoch 15 million years ago to the early Pleistocene epoch 2.6 million years ago. Known as the most powerful creature in the history of the earth.

"This should be an Antarctic sleeper shark." Xiang Yang said.

In Antarctica, because of the extremely low temperature, there are generally no sharks in Antarctica.

The Antarctic sleeper shark is a shrunken shark that looks like a prehistoric megalodon.

In the past, the Antarctic sleeper shark has been considered to be a smallhead sleeper shark, or a type of Pacific sleeper shark.

It was not until 2004, the Year of the Antarctic Sleeper Shark, that biologists identified it as a new species of Sleeper Shark. It is a kind of shark of the family of the dream shark that lives below a water depth of 400 meters.

"It turned out to be a sleeper shark."

Fang Youqun stared at the sleeping shark for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Brother Yang, is this sleeping shark a protected animal?"

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Why are you asking this?"
