My deep sea fishery

Chapter 20 Flounder

When he reached the beach, Xiangyang still didn't row a boat, and plunged directly into the sea.

Although Xiang Fu has a small fishing boat, the small fishing boat that is rowed by humans seems to Xiang Yang to be a waste of his time. Anyway, at this time, only Xiang Yang has diving equipment in Qinglong Bend, and the villagers don’t know. What kind of situation is the bottom of the sea? When you reach the bottom of Xiangyang, you are not afraid that someone will find your own anomaly.

Xiang Yang traversed the "jungles" on the bottom of the sea and reached a very clean and clear sea.

This sea area seems very barren. There are no giant algae that are exaggerated, and there are no strange-shaped coral reefs. The fine white sand covers the entire bottom of the sea, and even sea grass is very scarce.

Xiang Yang liked this environment very much, and walked barefoot on the silver seabed with flippers on his feet.

The sparse seagrass has caused the seafood in this area to be very barren. Xiang Yang can almost only see finger-sized marine fish and scallops that can be seen everywhere on the seabed. The number is very rare.

"The barrenness also has the benefits of being barren. The seas that are always thrilling and eating by the weak are very prosperous, but they don't belong to them." Xiang Yang casually grabbed a small red fish that was thick with chopsticks but courageous enough to swim to him Exclaimed.

Although the mouth of this small red fish is full of fangs, because of its small size, it hardly possesses any attack power. Xiang Yang estimates that they are also a kind of marine life that feeds on scallops.

Xiang Yang was not interested in this little red fish. He released the little red fish in the palm of his hand after observing for a while. As soon as the little guy broke free from Xiang Yang's claws, he immediately frightened and swam to the distance and disappeared for a while. .

Xiang Yang smiled and didn't care about it. Except for the few predators standing at the top of the food chain, most of the remaining creatures in the ocean struggle to survive. Every kind of marine creature that has been able to multiply to this day for millions of years They are all worthy of respect. It is a miracle in itself that this small fish with no attack power can form a unique small ecosystem in this barren sea area relying on the scallops that can be found everywhere on the seabed.

Xiang Yang continued to walk forward.

"Huh?" Xiang Yanggang seemed to be dazzled. He saw a piece of sea sand moving in front of him, and he stopped and observed carefully.

After looking carefully, Xiang Yang laughed. It turned out to be a flounder.

Flounder is a cheap saltwater fish that can be seen everywhere, and the market price is generally around 20 yuan a catty.

But this does not hinder people's love of flounder, because its meat is very delicious and the protein content is very rich. The most important thing is to eat flounder without worrying about being stuck by the fish bone. It is a kind of sea fish that is very suitable for children to eat. It gave it a very nice common name-Turbot.

In fact, the flounder is also a very interesting sea fish. It can change the color of its body surface according to the surrounding environment like a chameleon, disguising itself as a seabed sand.

Once the flounder changes its body color, it is difficult to detect with the naked eye using sand as an aid to integrate itself into the environment into a camouflage state.

Xiang Yang was able to spot this flounder not only because Xiang Yang's eyesight on the bottom of the sea is particularly good, but also because the flounder that Xiang Yang discovered is currently preying.

I saw it lying on the beach leisurely and covered its whole body with sand, leaving only a pair of eyes outside. A small red sea fish swam to its side before suddenly opening its mouth.

Maybe the movement was so loud that the little red sea fish was shocked, and the little fish fled in panic as soon as the flounder opened its mouth.

The flounder that failed to prey was not discouraged, and continued to swim happily on the bottom of the sea, shaking itself with sea sand, and waiting for the prey to be brought to the mouth next time.

Xiang Yang smiled and walked up and "dug" this flounder from the beach and put it into his net bag. It is one thing whether it is worth the money, but it is another thing whether it tastes good or not. Tonight, a garlic clove cooked with garlic Xiang Yang has been confirmed in advance.

Xiang Yang liked the calm environment of this sea area, and when he found a turbot, Xiang Yang didn't rush to leave this barren sea area and searched carefully on the seabed.

The flounder does not have a swim bladder in its body, and it swims very slowly and has no sharp teeth to resist foreign enemies. Hiding its shadow is not only a means of predation for flounder, but also a means of resisting flounder. After all, it is difficult for predators to find flounder hidden by shadow. Powerful predators don't pay much attention to whether a piece of "sand" is delicious even after passing by.

However, compared to the average marine predator, a flounder group often only has to be discovered by an intelligent "predator" such as a fisherman. It will be a disaster for the entire flounder group.

For fishermen, there is simply no better fish to catch than a flounder lying motionless on the bottom of the sea, as long as you catch it carefully, you will die.

Of course, the flounder also does not refer to a single sea fish, but a huge flounder family. Not every flounder in the entire huge flounder family is as wasteful as the flounder Xiang Yang is currently catching.

For example, big mouth flounder, the kind of flounder with iron teeth and steel teeth that can swim long distances on the seabed, let alone Xiang Yang, even sharks are afraid of three points.Of course, the fear goes to the fear, and the shark is infallible.

This barren sea area may be due to the absence of natural enemies. Xiang Yang was surprised to find that there were so many flounders. Basically, every few meters he could find a flounder that buried itself under the sand.

Even if Xiang Yang only picked a one-kilogram or larger grab, he grabbed a dozen of them in a few minutes, filling the entire net pocket.

Rao is a flatfish that is not valuable. Wholesale sales can only sell for ten yuan a catty. This kind of money comes quickly. Xiang Yang is in a good mood and immediately decided to swim back to the shore to drag the old fishing boat. The ship's flounder went back.

Back to Qinglongwan, everyone saw that Xiang Yang caught a full net bag of flounder after wearing a diving suit. They were envious of them all. In the bottom of my heart, the idea of ​​buying a diving suit was even stronger. less.

"Brother Yang, luck is good. Although this flounder is not very valuable to sell individually, it is a large group if you lie on the bottom of the sea without moving." A young man about the age of Xiang Yang stared at Xiang Yang's net bag eyes. It's almost straight.

Although the flatfish only charges eight or nine yuan per catty in the town, the net bag on Xiang Yang’s waist is less than twenty catties. It’s no wonder that this young man envied nearly two hundred yuan in less than half an hour into the sea. .

Xiang Yang smiled, "If you catch flounder in the future, you can sell it to me. I will buy it for nine yuan a catty. Although the price is about the same as the purchase price in the town, these cheap marine fish really don't make much money. It's convenient."

The aquatic product purchasers everywhere are that the more precious the seafood, the deeper the water. The less valuable seafood such as flounder, but the price is more reasonable. This kind of external retail can only sell for more than ten or twenty yuan. Zhang Qicheng’s purchase price for a catty of flatfish was ten yuan per catty for Xiang Yang, and Xiang Yang’s price of nine yuan was really not profitable.
