My deep sea fishery

As a famous long-lived creature, sea turtles are very spiritual.

Xiang Yang also touched the turtle's head boldly.

This big guy did not refuse Xiang Yang's touch, and even squinted his eyes as if he was enjoying it.

Without a smile, Xiang Yang gently pushed the big turtle's head, motioning it to go aside and don't disturb his work.

Unexpectedly, the sea turtle seemed to understand it. He rubbed Xiang Yang's arm and swam to the side with his limbs.

Once sea turtles grow up, there are almost no natural enemies on the seafloor. Even sharks are reluctant to knock with their teeth because of their thick shells, and fishermen generally do not catch sea turtles.

However, even such a carefree race has become rare in recent years, because sea turtles like to eat jellyfish, but they can’t distinguish the difference between jellyfish and plastic bags. Countless marine garbage often only needs a plastic bag. Can take the life of a large turtle.

Watching the sea turtle swim far away, Xiang Yang continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in a seaweed not far away, and the mud and sand rolled over that seaweed, and countless sea fishes suddenly panicked.

Xiang Yang looked in that direction, his scalp was numb, and he saw a giant squid with a bucket on his head. Six of the ten huge tentacles with thick arms were dancing wildly, and two of the remaining four tentacles were fixing the body. The other two are hidden in the seaweed and seem to be hunting prey.

"Hiss!" Xiang Yang took a deep breath and quietly backed away a few steps. With such a big squid, Xiang Yang did not rule out that he was included in the other party's recipe.

Squid and octopus look very similar, many people can't tell the difference between squid and octopus.

In fact, these two organisms are very distinguishable.

The one with ten tentacles is squid, and the one with eight tentacles is octopus.

Squid and octopus are both very cheap seafood. Squid is better. After drying, it can be sold for 60 or 70 yuan per catty in the inland. As for octopus, it can almost only be seen at roadside barbecue stalls.

The giant squid that Xiang Yang saw before his eyes was actually not the largest in the octopus family.

The largest recorded squid is 80 meters long and weighs 50 tons. It resembles a small battleship. It is terrifying. However, they usually live in deep sea areas and rarely attack seaside fishermen.

The squid seemed to be injured, Xiang Yang saw red liquid escaping around.

"It seems that this big guy's prey is not simple." Xiang Yang secretly said in his heart, and at the same time his body floated up a bit, he wanted to see what kind of sea beast it was that could hurt a giant squid that was one or two meters long.

If it is an octopus that is only one or two meters long, Xiang Yang must turn around and run away. The octopus has a developed brain and a higher IQ than squid. The most important thing is that the octopus has suction cups on its tentacles. Once sucked I can't run if I want to run.

As for the squid, Xiang Yang believed that he had no less flexibility on the seabed than the squid, as long as he was not entangled by the squid's tentacles, he could still fight the other side.

Three or four meters upstream, the condescending Xiang Yang finally saw clearly what the prey of the giant squid was.

With just one glance, Xiang Yang's eyes were round.

blue!

In the eyes, it is like a sapphire, but it is a dark blue that is shining and bright.

This blue color, as dazzling as a pearl, and as deep as the deep sea, is like a work of art crafted by God. It is breathtakingly beautiful.

"French Blue Dragon!" Xiang Yang looked at the giant squid that was in madness because of his injuries, and showed a smile with difficulty.

The French blue dragon is not as famous as the Australian dragon and the Boston lobster in the huge family of lobsters, but it is the belief in the hearts of countless gourmets. It is an extremely cherished delicacy and is known as a romantic art. The French blue dragon is because its main origin is in the French territorial waters. In fact, it is distributed all over the world, but it is extremely rare all over the world. It is extremely difficult to fish in the deep sea area. The underage French blue dragon is A premium delicacy with a price second only to the Chinese Jingxiu lobster above 55cm, once it becomes an adult, its value soars again.

The blue color on the shell of French blue lobster is not natural. It is because somewhere on the seafloor is rich in protein, lobsters consume excessive amounts of protein to form the blue compound astaxanthin, which causes genetic mutations to make the shell blue.

Only one French blue dragon appears in an average of 3 million deep-sea lobsters, which is truly a treasured marine creature comparable to living fossils.

Moreover, the bright blue is extremely eye-catching on the seabed compared with the surrounding environment. The bright blue will make French blue dragons more likely to be found and hunted by carnivorous marine fish, thereby further reducing their numbers. Most French blue dragons are Can't survive in childhood.

Moreover, this genetic mutation of the French blue dragon is irreversible. Once astaxanthin is produced, it becomes another organism completely, and its growth cycle becomes extremely slow. After 30 to 35 shellings, it can grow to 30 to 30 adults. Forty centimeters, the growth rate is several times slower than that of ordinary lobsters.

The French blue dragon and tiger that Xiang Yang saw was alive and well. It was at least forty centimeters long by visual observation. The outer shell was bright ice blue, the color was quite uniform, and it shone with a pearl-like luster. At first glance, it looked like an art. The product is average. One of the two pliers larger than Xiang Yang’s hand is raised high, and the other is clamped tightly in one of the giant squid’s tentacles. Let the giant octopus struggle and not let go, look. The flatness where the tentacle was clamped was obviously broken.

Not far from the bottom of the sea, there is a section of giant squid tentacles that has been pinched off, which is shocking.

But the French blue dragon is still alive, six limbs about the size of a cucumber are firmly grasped on the seabed to fix their bodies, two dragons are like crowns of anger.

Seeing Xiang Yang here, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. This French blue dragon is too fierce. It seems that after a while, he can fight off the giant squid again.

This French blue dragon Xiang Yang must be caught.

As one of the top ingredients, the least valuable French blue dragon is a thousand times the price of ordinary crayfish.

In fact, to say that the French blue dragon is an ingredient is to belittle it. Although this guy is not protecting animals, he is definitely more moisturizing than protecting animals. Apart from Paris, France, which treats ingredients as art, it is basically in any restaurant in the world. You can't order this dish, and because the quantity is scarce, the supply exceeds the demand. The French blue dragon weighing more than a catty is not exported from France.

In September 2008, several shrimp catchers caught a French blue dragon weighing 4.54 kg on the Isle of Man in the United Kingdom. The specimens have been kept in the British Museum.

On August 26, 2014, a fisherman in Maine in the United States caught a French blue dragon. The shrimp is still alive in the local aquarium.

In June 2019, the owner of a seafood restaurant in Massachusetts, the United States, found a rare royal blue French blue dragon while purchasing goods, and finally sold for a sky-high price of 450,000 US dollars.

This kind of natural enemy is numerous and slow-growing. It takes several years to grow the size of an ordinary lobster in a year. Every time it grows up, its price will soar. The juvenile French blue dragon is also sought after by gourmets. The price of a Blue Dragon is usually more expensive than a Ferrari, and it is not even a French celebrity who can afford it.
