1244. Prawns and Tongues (4/5)
"That is Mr. Saunders Wharton, a famous expert in marine biology, the founder of the International Marine Genetic Engineering, and a senior professor of marine research at the University of Toronto!"
Qin Daguan pointed to the side unscrupulously, introduced the blame expert Saunders, and then continued: "I just adopted the scientific breeding method under the guidance of Professor Saunders, you can try it , I think a stupid guy like me can achieve a little success, and everyone will definitely achieve greater achievements."
As a result, a group of fish farmers turned their enthusiastic eyes to Sanders. The old professor kept exploding nuclear bombs in his heart, he really wanted to say to Qin Shiou, can you cheat more? Unfortunately, this occasion does not allow.
After the question and discussion session was over, the staff of the Ministry of Fisheries distributed booklets that looked like comic strips to everyone. Qin Shiou opened one after he got it, and it contained introductions to the core catches of various fishery owners.
In the past, similar auctions have never been held, not only because of ideas, but also because the fishery owners are relatively resistant to it.
Just like the pastures that raise cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, the mortality rate of livestock and poultry in different pastures is different, and the quality of the livestock and poultry produced is also different. For example, the Japanese are very good at breeding money-grabbing animals such as Wagyu.
Therefore, every successful fishing ground also has their ace seafood. This is a secret they cannot reveal, and they rely on this stuff to make money. Naturally, these things are what the fish pirates want to steal most.
The fishery owners don't want their ace seafood to be exposed. As for resource exchange? Forget it, they just need to guard their one-acre three-point land, and there is no need to exchange it.
It is no longer possible. The economy is in a downturn and foreign exchange exports have repeatedly hit new lows. They can no longer rest on their laurels.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Qin Shiou is willing to share the resources of his fishery. Compared with Daqin Fishery, which can support a brand, their ace seafood is really nothing.
Qin Shiou opened the comic book and saw that the first picture was related to his fishing ground, which introduced turbot. The full name is North Atlantic silver-scaled turbot, because the turbot in Daqin Fishing Ground has changed slightly, and a silver line composed of silver scales appears on the back, so it has this name.
but. This kind of turbot has not yet matured into a species. According to the classification rules of natural science, reproductive isolation is required to become a new species. Naturally, there is no turbot in the Daqin Fishing Ground.
A fisherman sitting in front of Qin Shiou flipped through the comics, and asked eagerly, "Hi, Qin, are you interested in selling your silver-scaled turbot fry? I am willing to pay a high price."
Donald next to him curled his lips and said, "Old Verne,
Don't think about good things, even if Qin is willing to share this fry, it will be auctioned tomorrow. If you want to buy it, then be prepared to spend enough money. "
The owner of the fishery, Verne, turned his head with a sneer, and continued to browse.
The second picture is still related to Daqin Fishing Ground, this time it is Atlantic flounder.
This fish can grow quite large, two or three meters long is no problem. They are bottom-dwelling fish that live on sandstone or mud bottoms at a water depth of 50-2000 meters. They are distributed in the North Atlantic from Labrador and Greenland to Iceland, the Barents Sea and the Bay of Biscay in the south.
The halibut from Daqin Fishing Farm is not only big in size, but also plump and plump. The halibut sauce barbecue that is popular in New York now uses the fish parts of Daqin brand halibut. It is expensive, but of course it is also delicious and nutritious.
Qin Shiou looked through it, and then looked for the seafood he was interested in.
Speaking of which, the seafood in his fishing ground is abundant enough. But this is not enough, not enough to support him to make a seafood brand.
According to his and Butler's vision, the brand of Daqin Seafood should cover at least one hundred kinds of seafood, and of course the more the better.
Turn to page four. A shrimp appeared in his field of vision: a modified version of the monodon prawn.
There are only 28 species of prawns in the world, of which there are 7 species on the Atlantic coast of the Americas, 6 species on the Pacific coast, 14 species in the Indo-West Pacific, 1 species in the Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and 1 species in West Africa. Among the more famous ones are Japanese prawns, Chinese prawns and monodon prawns.
The monodon prawn in the comic book is a kind of prawn that can grow very well. They can grow up to thirty centimeters long and weigh a pound alone.
This kind of shrimp can not only grow very large, but also has delicious meat and rich nutrition. Their shells are relatively solid and can withstand being caught by hand. In addition, they have a strong endurance to dry out and expose to the air after leaving the water, so they can be sold live.
Qin Shiou looked through it with interest. This kind of prawns came from a fish farm in Nova Scotia. The owner of the fish farm was named Nick Du, and his surname seemed Chinese, which made him even more interested.
Aquatic products that can be featured in comic strips are very popular. This improved version of the monodon prawn is different from the previous ones in that it can adapt to colder waters!
Although this improvement point is small, it has a huge effect on the promotion of Penaeus monodon.
Penaeus monodon is the largest species of prawns. They are highly resistant to diseases, have wide salinity, and can tolerate high temperature and low oxygen, but they have weak adaptability to low temperature. Unfortunately, the winter water temperature in the North Atlantic is cold, which is not suitable for the growth of P. monodon.
The Ministry of Fisheries pays great attention to protecting the privacy of fishery owners. The above only briefly introduces the advantages of prawns, and there is no other specific information, which ensures the confidentiality of this prawn farming technology to the greatest extent.
Although Canada's intellectual property protection is very strong, the breeding technology does not belong to the protection category of intellectual products. This is why the Japanese have kept Wagyu breeding technology in their crotches. Once they speak out, they will be learned by others.
Showing Sanders the monodon prawns, Qin Shiou asked in a low voice, "How about breeding this? Can it be done?"
Because of the success of breeding Dungeness crabs, the old professor is now full of confidence. He studied it and said firmly: "Yes, there is no problem!"
Qin Shiou nodded in satisfaction, then continued to look down, and then saw another interesting aquatic product, which was the small tongue sole.
Tongue sole also belongs to the category of flounder. Qin Shiou’s hometown calls it tongue fish. This fish is rich in protein and fat, and the meat is delicate and delicious. It is nutritious and delicious, so it is very popular.
Tongue sole is also found in fishing grounds, and it is the more precious semi-smooth tongue sole. This fish has a high yield rate and a smooth taste.
Another meaning of precious is often rare.
The half smooth tongue sole is delicious, but they are mainly distributed in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean, and there are very few in the North Atlantic Ocean. Qin Shiou used the energy of Poseidon to transform the half smooth tongue sole in the fishing ground. As a result, it can only make it fatter and grow faster, but its reproductive capacity has not changed.
In this way, it is somewhat regrettable that half-smooth tongue sole cannot appear on the sales list as a regular product.
Now this small tongue sole gives him the hope of large-scale breeding. (To be continued.)
