My deep sea fishery

Chapter 75 Viviparous Plants

"Is the mangrove the mahogany? I heard that mahogany furniture is very valuable." Fang Youqun licked his lips and his eyes glowed.

The crew listened carefully.

In recent years, the price of furniture made of mahogany has been rising steadily, and a table made of fine mahogany has even been fired to a sky-high price of millions. If these mangroves are all mahogany now, wouldn’t it be released?

Xiang Yang smiled and explained: "There is no relationship between mangroves and mahogany. Mahogany is red sandalwood wood and high-grade wood for furniture. Mangroves are small shrubs that are not afraid of sea water. If there is nothing between the two If they are connected, they are all trees, and they all have trunks to produce wood, otherwise there is no connection."

"Which of them is more valuable?" Fang Youqun asked.

Fang Youqun, the sentimental party, hit the idea of ​​making money on Hongmu. Xiang Yang and He Mingde laughed after they met each other.

Fang Youqun suddenly wondered, "What are you laughing at?"

"They are all valuable, but mangroves cannot be cut casually. In the past ten years, mangroves have become very rare due to human reclamation, felling, and environmental pollution. They are now listed as protected trees."

Fang Youqun suddenly stared, "I've heard of protecting animals, this tree is still protected?"

Xiang Yang nodded and said with a serious face: "Even if mangroves are not protected trees, they cannot be felled at will. Mangroves are the patron saint of the coastline. If there are no mangroves, most of the coast will be eroded and washed by the sea. There will be waves flooding the villages along the coast. The residents of our coastal areas have the obligation and responsibility to protect every mangrove tree."

"Especially for us fishermen, the well-developed root system of mangroves allows it to grow under the water, provide habitats for countless fish, and play a certain role in preventing wind and waves at critical moments to protect the beach."

After hearing Xiang Yang's words, the crew nodded solemnly, and their eyes looked at Hongshu different from before.

"Hey, Brother Yang, do you think there is a small tree hanging on the mangrove tree? Is there a small sapling blown out of the land by the wind and waves?" Fang Youqun took a look at it and then suddenly pointed at a mangrove tree loudly Tao.

Xiang Yang also looked in that direction, and saw a small sapling hanging on a big red tree like a branch.

"Don't worry about it, it's a mangrove seedling." He Mingde said.

"seedling?"

"The reproduction method of mangroves is very peculiar. Although they are plants, they are viviparous. The seeds of mangroves will mature on the mother tree before they leave the mother tree and fall into the soil to take root. This is a very rare'viviparous' in plants. Phenomenon." Xiang Yang explained.

"Since there are still viviparous plants?" Everyone was surprised again.

"Master Xu, stop the boat here, leave two people on the deck to watch and the others disembark with me." Xiang Yangchong shouted on the intercom.

After retracting the walkie-talkie, Xiang Yang smiled and looked at the crew on the deck and said: "We have a good taste. I didn't expect that there are mangrove forests on the edge of this island." Mangrove forests can protect the coast very well, so as to live on the coast. Creatures such as large snails and swimming crabs on the side provide an excellent living environment. Generally, the coasts with mangrove forests have very rich fishery resources.

A group of people jumped out of the sea under the leadership of Xiang Yang.

The water didn't seem to be very deep when coming down from the fishing boat. Some of the mangrove trees a few meters ahead were exposed to the surface of the sea, but in fact, everyone found that it was not the case after they went into the sea.

There were a few crew members who were trying to step into the sea with their trousers and feet. They all fell into the sea and knew that the seawater here was definitely more than a few meters.

Uncle Xiang waited until the people who should disembark in front were all disembarked before he put a rubber dinghy on the water with a smile, and then carried the pressure cooker, barbecue grill and other things onto the rubber dinghy.

Xiang Yang waited until the rubber dinghy was full and headed for the island first, while a group of crew members carefully escorted the small rubber dinghy.

When we got to the island, everyone was in a daze.

Let alone the unique scenery on this island, the dense sand crabs can be seen everywhere on the beach, which almost glared everyone's eyes.

Almost everyone on the boat grew up on the seashore. The densely packed shells on the beach are not rare for them, and they even think they are used to it.

But everyone has never seen the scene of dense crabs on the beach.

Especially the small crabs that are about the size of two thumbs. These small crabs are not afraid of anything. The courageous ones crawl on the beach, and some even drill into the crew's trousers.

"Well!"

"Well--"

A group of sea lions chasing fishing boats to this sea area excitedly climbed onto the beach and let out a loud cry.

A small sea lion has four fins against the beach, wriggling its body on the beach, opening its mouth and waiting for the crab to crawl into its mouth.

The crew member looked in surprise, "Can sea lions eat crabs?"

"Sea lions eat everything, squid, cuttlefish, all kinds of sea fish, crabs, lobsters and even sea urchins." Xu Fang took off his wet coat and folded it into a package, and pinched a slap-sized portunus from the beach to his clothes. Nese.

As a result, Xu Fang looked stiff as soon as he encountered the shell of the swimming crab, "Unlucky, since it is only a bathing crab."

Bathing crabs are soft crabs or water crabs. The shell of this crab is the same as ordinary crabs, but the shell is soft and there is not much meat in the shell.

Xu Fang looked at the bathing crab in his hand, and threw it at a sea lion weighing more than 500 jin.

The sea lion immediately raised its head to catch it, swallowed it in its belly without chewing, and then turned its body to reveal its belly, doing various flattering movements for more crew members.

Xiang Yang was a little surprised. Like most animals, the belly is also the most vulnerable part of the sea lion's body. Exposing the most vulnerable part without any scruples means that the sea lion has no defense against them.

Xiang Yang walked over and tentatively touched the sea lion's head.

Sure enough, when Xiang Yang stretched out his hand, the sea lion not only didn't hide, but actively moved his head to touch Xiang Yang intimately.

Someone immediately became jealous of this scene.

"Brother Yang, can I also touch this sea lion?" Fang Youqun asked loudly.

"Don't you know if you try?" Xiang Yang smiled.

Fang Youqun was cut off by the sea lion's actions to please him, and immediately found a small sea lion and ran over.

As a result, Fang Youqun was stopped by a female sea lion before she got close to the little sea lion. The female sea lion bared her teeth at Fang Youqun, and the little sea lion also crawled towards the rear in a panic.

Fang Youqun was immediately depressed, "Don't I look like a good person?"

Fang Youqun's words immediately drew everyone's laughter, and after the laughter, they all looked at Xiang Yang with envy, not understanding why these sea lions were so close to Xiang Yang.
