My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 765: Ice Algae

Gao Chuang thought it was a pity, the three-headed abalone, each of which weighed more than two or three, could be called a three-headed abalone or a double-headed abalone.

In fact, among the three abalones, the one Gao Chuang valued the most was the one he was willing to pay 50,000 yuan for.

"Okay, I'll get someone to put 80,000 yuan on your card later, and if you want to sell the last one, just send someone to deliver it to my boat." Although Gao Chuang was a pity, he didn't follow suit Xiang Yang meant to bargain, so he opened his mouth directly.

After the transaction was completed, Gao Chuang became interested in the origin of these greenlip abalones.

Gao Chuang smiled and said, "Xiang Yang, you probably didn't have these three green-lip abalones on your boat before, right? Did you catch them from the bottom of this water?"

Xiang Yang knew that Gao Chuang must have been thinking about this green-lip abalone. After all, this is a very valuable seafood. One or two is insignificant to Gao Chuang, but if it is a hundred or a thousand, even if it is to Gao Chuang In terms of income, that is not a small amount of income.

Not to mention, it is possible to catch a single-headed abalone.

"Yes, that's right, it was fished under this sea area, but it is not easy to fish. Below this sea area are rolling seabed mountains, and the deepest part is unfathomable." Xiang Yang replied truthfully.

"Your luck is as good as ever." Gao Chuang smiled and patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder.

"I'll let my people go down to look for it in a while, and I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you a chart after I go back. There are several sea areas that I marked that are rich in rare seafood." Gao Chuang said .

Xiang Yang smiled and said: "Mr. Gao, you are too polite. Even if I don't tell you, we have to stay on the sea for so long, and your people will find out sooner or later."

"One size fits all." Gao Chuang shook his head.

Seeing Gao Chuang's insistence, Xiang Yang hesitated for a while, and agreed, "Okay, then I will thank you, Mr. Gao."

After Gao Chuang left, Chen Qingsheng came over, he said excitedly: "Captain, I got a chart for nothing, we made a lot of money this time."

"Bai?" Xiang Yang asked back.

"Isn't it? There are so many abalones in this sea area, it's impossible for us to catch them all, and we don't know when we will come here next time." Chen Qingsheng continued excitedly.

Xiang Yang shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, take the time to rest and recover your strength, it's best to add some high-energy food, and we'll go to the bottom of the sea to fish again later."

Chen Qingsheng nodded quickly, just now he tasted the sweetness under the water, and now he feels like being scratched by a cat, and Chen Qingsheng feels that it has been so long since he turned over the big rock on the bottom of the sea, those who were frightened and sticky The abalones that are firmly on the rocks should relax their vigilance again at this time.

Soon, Xiang Yang and others went down to the bottom of the sea again.

This time, Xiang Yang drilled directly into the deep sea. He was very interested in the plants in the deep sea of ​​Antarctica, especially the ice algae.

As far as Xiang Yang knows, Antarctic ice algae are some algal plants that grow in the fixed ice area and floating ice area of ​​the Antarctic sea area, and can be used as cold dishes.

The cold dish made from Antarctic ice algae tastes fresh, tender and crisp, and has a unique flavor.

Because Antarctic ice algae absorbs cold air all year round, the seaweed essence contained in Antarctic ice algae is much higher than that of ordinary algae, and it is a pure natural seaweed food.

Xiang Yang swam among the lush seaweeds, and found that most of the ice algae under this sea area were light yellow or yellowish brown.

Antarctic ice algae generally refers to all types of micro-algae that grow in the extreme environment of Antarctic sea ice. What Xiang Yang saw in front of him were none other than Antarctic ice algae.

The Antarctic ice bath is an indispensable link in the Antarctic ecological chain.

In the past, tiny Antarctic ice algae were overlooked by humans.

Whenever an icebreaker bravely advances in the Antarctic icy sea, the ice more than one meter thick can always be seen on both sides of the ship's side being turned up and floating on the water in a mess.

If one carefully observes those thick ice blocks, one can find light brown and brown layers on the bottom and section of the ice.

At first, humans thought that these distinctive ice colors were mixed sand in sea ice, and did not pay much attention.

Later, after identification by biologists, it was discovered that this is a microscopic algae growing in sea ice, that is, ice algae.

Ice algae settle under the sea ice and use the unique natural conditions of the sea ice to grow and reproduce.

Like all plants, ice algae also rely on sunlight to carry out photosynthesis, produce organic matter, and store it in cells, so as to self-support and support other biological ice algae. Low-end zooplankton such as copepods and amphipods were found to congregate.

Of course, greedy fish and krill are indispensable.

Larger animals, such as cats and seals, will also have enough food, and a huge food chain in the ice floe area will be formed.

Ice algae provide essential nutrients for Antarctic organisms and support the entire Antarctic food chain.

If there is no ice algae, Antarctica will only be lonely and cold.

Since Antarctica belongs to the high-latitude alpine region, its geographical location and climatic conditions determine the types and distribution characteristics of ice algae.

The phytoplankton microalgae in the Antarctic waters include not only the unique Antarctic algae, but also some algae species in other sea areas in the world.

Some biologists have analyzed and identified ice algae near the Davis Station in Antarctica.

Through research, biologists have discovered three families and eighty-two species of ice algae.

Among them, there are 76 kinds of diatoms, accounting for more than 90% of the total.

There are five species of dinoflagellates and one species of golden algae.

Among the seventy-six species of diatoms, the diatoms of the class Pleurotus predominate.

Among them, the cocoonella clarkii, the marine frangipani, the rhizomes, the subbasal brittle, the middle-thickened ovum, and the fragilis are the species that appear every month.

Xiang Yang knows that Antarctic ice algae not only play an important role in the Antarctic ecosystem, but also have broad prospects in basic research and development.

Due to the unique geographical and climatic characteristics of Antarctica, a cold and radiant environment is formed. The ice algae living in it must have special physiological adaptations to this unique environment, so that they can survive and reproduce.

It is precisely because of the special physiological characteristics of ice algae that it must be a good experimental material for the study of cryobiology.

In addition, ice algae are potential sources of novel active substances.

Scientists believe that the reasonable development of low-temperature algae resources in Antarctica can not only enrich my country's existing microbial resources in terms of application.

If valuable physiologically active substances and products can be developed from ice algae, new research materials and new ideas can be provided for basic research.
