Six Hundred and Seventeen. The Majestic Mackerel (Seven/Ten)

No wonder Wei Ni was so easily persuaded by Qin Shiou to go home this time. It turned out that this girl came back to show off her Queen of the Night.

When Qin Shiou said this, Winnie admitted generously: "Wealth does not return home, like a brocade night walk! You gave me such a beautiful jewelry, of course I want to show Fox, let her know how much her fat sister is now. happiness."

"You were really fat when you were a child?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise.

Wei Ni patted his back unhappily, pursed her lips and said nothing, it seemed that this was indeed a sad topic for her.

After only staying at home for one night, the two flew back to St. Johns on Sunday afternoon.

However, the effect of this night was good. After showing off the Queen of the Night, Winnie finally didn't feel so pissed off. She generally behaved normally and even made a few jokes with Fox.

For such a result, Mario and Miranda were very satisfied, and they were really worried about their daughter.

Back at the fishing ground, Qin Shiou routinely sent the Poseidon consciousness into the sea at night.

This time he did not patrol the fishing grounds. According to the news from the radar, the fishing grounds were not attacked by fish pirate ships. He didn't need to waste time, just go directly to the deep sea.

There are large schools of bluefin tuna living on the edge of the Daqin Fishing Ground, but they are not a single population. The tuna swimming from Japan did not merge into the previous fish school, but formed their own shape. ww∞≌↗t became a new community.

Qin Shiou could see that these artificially cultivated fish were rejected by wild fish, because the wild fish in the Izu Shichishima farm entered the previous fish school, and the tuna in the new fish school were all artificially farmed fish. .

compared to wild fish. These farmed fish are a little silly, they are a little timid when they interfere on the bottom of the sea. There is no such indomitable momentum as wild fish, and their swimming speed is much slower. It is also not as beautiful in appearance as wild fish.

But Qin Shiou treats them equally, and will instill Seagod energy into them after encountering them. These fish will be the trump card of Daqin Fishing Farm in the future.

But it's a little strange, the tunas didn't show their attachment to the Seagod's consciousness and their desire for the Seagod's energy as before. After they felt the Seagod's consciousness, they still moved forward firmly.

Qin Shiou immediately understood that there should be high-quality bait in the sea ahead to attract them.

Sure enough, the Poseidon's consciousness followed the school of fish and moved forward quickly,

Soon, a large group of mighty blue-black sea fish appeared in his field of vision.

The body of this fish is elongated and spindle-shaped. The head and the back of the body are blue-black, there are several rows of blue-black round spots on the side of the body, the abdomen is white, and there are horn spines behind the dorsal and anal fins. The body curve is smooth, and it looks graceful and energetic.

"Mackerel!" Qin Shiou immediately recognized the identity of this fish, and his spirits lifted.

In the natural environment, all fishes have special colors and markings, or the body color is consistent with the surrounding environment. This is the result of nature's elimination, because fish have to hide in the water to protect themselves, or confuse the enemy so that they can sneak up on their prey.

From this point of view. Mackerel has evolved very successfully. Their backs are dark in color, mostly blue-black, dark blue or dark cyan. The abdomen is light in color, silvery white, white or yellowish white. This color is called annihilating color and has been widely used in bionics.

This extinction color is comprehensive for the protection of mackerel. Because they are fishes that live in the middle and upper waters, with the snow-white sky above their heads and the blue water around them.

Looking from top to bottom like this, since the back of the fish body is consistent with the color of the seawater under natural light, even some large predators with poor eyesight are not easy to distinguish even if they are very close to the fish. Looking upward from the bottom of the fish body, the color of the belly of the fish is very similar to that of the water surface and the sky, and it is even more difficult to distinguish them.

It's a pity that this can't fool the bluefin tuna.

Tuna is actually one of the strongest predators in seawater, and because they are good at swimming, their endurance, speed and explosive power are top-notch, so the fish they target are worse than sharks.

There are many fish that can escape the shark's predation, but there are very few fish that may escape from the sight of the tuna, and the mackerel is no exception.

The eating habits of bluefin tuna are very mixed. It is recognized that they like sardines, which are all kinds of small herrings, but in the research of Japanese fishery experts, it is believed that bluefin tuna prefers mackerel.

In China, mackerel and Spanish mackerel are considered to be the same species of fish, but in Canada the two names are different. Blue-spotted Spanish threadfin, spotted Spanish mackerel, Spanish Spanish mackerel, etc. Spanish mackerel is another species.

In contrast, Spanish mackerel is more delicious than most Spanish Spanish mackerel. The meat is tender and white, soft and refreshing, and rich in nutrition, especially the New Zealand Spanish mackerel, which is called the silver of the ocean.

Compared with Spanish Spanish mackerel, the quantity of mackerel is much smaller, and the price is much more expensive. Even if it is not as good as bluefin tuna, a large fish weighing more than five kilograms may sell for hundreds of thousands of yuan.

It is a pity that it is very difficult for mackerel to grow to a large size. Generally, it is only half a meter long, which means two to three kilograms.

Because the division is not clear, the United States and Canada have not done a good job in the protection of this fish. Fishermen have seized this loophole and fished them frantically, resulting in fewer and fewer pure horse mackerel.

There are also reasons for this, which has led many people to confuse Spanish mackerel with Spanish mackerel.

But there is no doubt that what appeared in front of Qin Shiou was a mackerel, and it was a large school of mackerel.

Mackerel, like many fishes, has the habit of migrating in summer. Their migration is not from sea to river, from salt water to fresh water, but from the South Atlantic to the North Atlantic.

Seeing this kind of fish, Qin Shiou was not polite. He drove away the coveted tuna, controlled the group of big fish leading the fish school, and directly changed their course from the north direction. To the northwest, it has entered the category of Daqin Fishing Ground.

The preciousness of mackerel lies in the fact that they cannot be farmed artificially. Now even the bluefin tuna has been farmed artificially, but humans have no choice but to go to the ocean to catch this kind of fish.

Bring the fish into the shallow sea where there are fewer big hunters. Although the cod can grow one or two meters long, they are not interested in the mackerel, because the mackerel is a bit cruel, so it is better to prey on herring and mackerel. convenient.

After harvesting this batch of Atlantic mackerel, Qin Shiou's work tonight can be regarded as fruitful.

He arranged the fish school, let them prey on small fish and shrimps in the fishing ground first, closed their eyes and began to sleep, there are more important things to do tomorrow. (to be continued...)
