My Deep-sea Fishery

For other aquarists, keeping a marine life that requires constant consumption of fresh green algae and exposure to the sun is asking for trouble.

But for Xiang Yang, this is not a problem at all.

You only need to prepare a small fish tank for it on the boat, and then it will be easy to raise.

The oriental emerald sea hare has a skill that other animals cannot learn, that is, after eating a big meal of seaweed, it does not need to eat anything in the next few weeks, or even half a year.

Of course, there are also some other creatures that can go hungry for months after a full meal.

But the oriental emerald sea slug is completely different from other creatures that starve for months after a full meal.

Other marine organisms can starve for several months after a full meal, because they store food as fat due to lack of food.

The Oriental Emerald Sea Hare is different. After a full meal, it can stop eating for several months. This is not because the food is turned into fat and stored.

It is the oriental emerald sea hare, which can absorb the chloroplasts in the food.

Then these chloroplasts can also carry out photosynthesis in the body of the oriental emerald sea hare. Relying on this skill, the oriental emerald sea hare can even eat only one meal in its life, and then live on water and sunlight, which is outrageous.

It is said that a team of scientists once studied the Eastern Emerald Sea Hare, and they believed that if this function of the Eastern Emerald Sea Hare could be extracted and then transferred to the human body, humans would be able to live only on water and sunlight. In this way, It will completely solve the human food crisis.

But apparently, the research experiment failed.

Chloroplast is an energy converter, which can convert solar energy into chemical energy, and it is a high-efficiency energy converter. From algae to various higher plants, there are chloroplasts.

Including the oriental emerald sea hare, humans have only discovered the behavior of several creatures that can steal chloroplasts. Scientists call this phenomenon the food-stealing physique, but obviously, humans do not have this physique.

But to really research a way to allow humans to have this kind of physique, Xiang Yang thinks that the difficulty is no less than researching the elixir of life.

Since the oriental emerald sea hare was discovered in the 1960s, one thing has always troubled scientists from all over the world.

The science class found that the chloroplasts in the cells of the oriental emerald sea hare are fragile. When humans eat vegetarian dishes, the cells of the vegetables will be decomposed by various digestive enzymes in the body.

This digestion makes it impossible for chloroplasts to remain in any form.

Therefore, even if humans eat a lot of vegetables or kelp, it is impossible to carry out photosynthesis.

However, the chloroplasts in the oriental emerald sea hare can resist the digestive juice in the oriental emerald sea hare.

This problem has not been perfectly solved until today.

Scientists have only put forward a hypothesis that the oriental emerald snail has a special copy that preserves and does not damage chloroplasts.

Although this hypothesis is outrageous, it has been recognized by many scientists, because only in this way can it explain why chloroplasts can survive the digestion and absorption process of the oriental emerald sea hare, and continue to accumulate in the densely branched intestinal tract, Move it around until it's just under the skin.

These chloroplasts collect light and produce carbohydrates. The oriental emerald sea hare absorbs these substances and no longer has to hunt around for food. It only needs to rely on the production of the micro photosynthesis factory in its body to provide itself with a steady stream of energy.

It is precisely because of this magical ability that the Oriental Jade Sea Hare only needs to eat once in its life.

After enjoying the first meal of green algae, the oriental emerald nudibranch is full of chloroplasts, and it can no longer eat anything in its life.

After catching this oriental emerald sea hare, Xiang Yang checked the time on his watch.

Almost half an hour has passed since he went into the sea this time.

Xiang Yang memorized the seaweed thicket, and then quickly swam towards the surface of the water.

When Xiang Yang returned to the fishing boat, it took exactly half an hour, and the crew members who went to the sea to collect asparagus also returned to the boat.

"Brother Yang, what good things did you bring up this time?" Fang Youqun saw Xiang Yang, and immediately came up to say hello enthusiastically. At the same time, he just opened a bottle of Red Bull in his hand that he was about to drink but hadn't drunk yet. Pass it to Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang shook his head and rejected Fang Youqun's good intentions, "It's too cold, I don't want to drink this. I did find some good things this time, but I didn't grab them. I just grabbed this."

Fang Youqun's eyes lit up when he heard that he had found something good again, but when he heard Xiang Yang say that he hadn't caught the good thing, his face immediately collapsed, "Brother Yang, why don't you catch something good? What is this in your hand? A leaf?"

Xiang Yang smiled and said: "I found a nautilus, it's alive, do you think I dare to catch it?"

"Well."

Fang Youqun was speechless for a moment. Nautilus is a protective animal. Although he has a foolish temper, he still knows what he can and cannot do in his heart.

"Brother Yang, what did you catch?" Fang Youqun pointed to the heart of Xiang Yang's hand and asked.

"This one is called the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare. I'm going to put it on the deck and keep it for myself." Xiang Yang said.

"Keeping it for fun?"

Fang Youqun blinked his eyes, "Brother Yang, if I want to raise you, I want to raise something nicer. What are you doing with something? It looks like a leaf."

Xiang Yang glanced back at Fang Youqun, "The more beautiful the fish, the harder it is to serve them. If you raise a better-looking fish, you will serve them every day?"

Fang Youqun laughed immediately and asked him to take care of him. It was just a joke. If it was okay during normal sailing, it would be idle anyway, so just look for something to do.

But if when trawling, everyone else was exhausted and paralyzed that day, so how could they care about raising ornamental fish?

This is still good, the most important thing is that when the fishing boat is docked to rest, let Fang Youqun go to the boat to raise a fish every day during the holiday, then it is better to kill him.

But Fang Youqun was still unconvinced, he asked: "Brother Yang, it's not easy to keep a good-looking ornamental fish. Could it be that this thing that looks like a leaf is easy to serve?"

Xiang Yang grinned and said, "This Oriental Emerald Sea Hare doesn't need to be served, as long as there is water."

"Help me find a small fish tank." Xiang Yang said to Fang Youqun.

Fang Youqun turned around immediately, and soon found a glass fish tank slightly larger than the rice cooker for Xiang Yang, which was the smallest fish tank on the boat.
