My deep sea fishery

Chapter 87 Eagle and Fish

Previously, Xiang Yang and others had guessed correctly that this stigmata sea eagle is indeed a nestling that has just learned to hunt.

Although the newly independent Steller's sea eagle has learned predation skills, the skills are extremely rusty. This Steller's sea eagle went to snatch food from humpback whales after failing to prey for many times. The head whale snatched its prey, and was killed by the prey in the sea. After a desperate struggle, it didn't eat a bite of food, but instead consumed a lot of calories and its wings were injured.

Xiang Yang had a chicken in his left hand, and waved his right hand to the steller's sea eagle with a smile.

When the tiger-headed sea eagle saw the hen in Xiang Yang's hand, he was immediately ready to move, and walked a few steps towards Xiang Yang, then stood on the spot and looked at Xiang Yang with his head tilted.

Xiang Yang chuckled, and tore it forcefully, tore off a wing from the chicken and threw it towards the tiger-head sea eagle.

"Tweet!" The tiger-headed sea eagle immediately ran across with its legs like an ostrich, and used a large paw to step on the chicken wings to fix it. Piece of meat.

The tiger-headed sea eagle tore the meat from the chicken wings and swallowed the meat without chewing, and then turned the chicken wings over and continued to peck a second time.

After a few mouthfuls, the whole chicken wing was left with only bones. The stiff-headed sea eagle once again tilted his head and looked at Xiang Yang, to be precise the hen in Xiang Yang's hand.

Xiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief instead. He had read a paper about eagles before. The paper said that the eagle is an extremely aloof creature. If caught by humans, it would not eat or drink until To death of thirst and starvation, Xiang Yang worried that this tiger-headed sea eagle would not eat the food he provided.

Xiang Yang's worries disappeared when he saw the tiger-headed sea eagle pecking at a chicken wing.

Xiang Yang directly threw the entire chicken at the stiff-headed sea eagle, and the stiff-headed sea eagle immediately screamed and ran towards the hen that fell on the deck.

"The net is closed? Where's the fish?" Xiang Yang rubbed the greasy hands after throwing the whole chicken away, and looked at He Mingde.

He Mingde was standing next to Xiang Yang looking at the tiger-headed sea eagle eating. Seeing Xiang Yang suddenly threw the whole chicken out and looked at himself, He Mingde froze for a moment before reacting and sighed. There is no fish."

"No fish?" Xiang Yang's voice rose by seven to eight degrees, "hasn't a fish been dragged for so long?"

Xiang Yang immediately looked at Zhou Wang, "What's going on?" Xiang Yang saw the route of the fishing boat route last night. Although there are not many fish, there are still various schools of fish. There is not a single fish under the net. Maybe Zhou Wang, who was in charge of fishing nets, had a problem.

Zhou Wang said: "It's not that there aren't all of them, but the number is very small, and it's very worthless. It's about the same as losing the net."

"Oh." Xiang Yang nodded, this was within Xiang Yang's expectation, "What kind of marine fish are they?"

Chen Qingsheng said: "Squids are the main ones, and there are also a few eels, the total amount may be less than 100 catties."

"Is it so miserable?" Xiang Yang twitched at the corner of his mouth. Such a net must have lost even the gas money.

He Mingde patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder and smiled: "It's just like asking for a living on the sea. How can we go down the net and return with a full load? We are lucky enough to be caught in the tide of fish this time. You don't know the one I was in before. The fleet often goes out carrying freshwater vegetables and returns empty fishing boats."

Xiang Yang nodded to express his understanding, and randomly asked, "Don't eels live in groups? How come they only caught a few?"

Eel is a kind of migratory fish that resembles a long snake, but has some basic characteristics of fish in appearance. Although the market price is not very expensive, it is listed among the economic fishes in my country because of its huge quantity. It is a highly edible fish. The value of sea fish.

He Mingde shrugged, "How do I know this?"

Xiang Yang nodded, "Yeah, too."

"Should we continue to trawl or go directly southward at full speed?" He Mingde asked.

Xiang Yang thought for a while before he said, "We went to the south to find a Sino-Ocean overseas gas station. Anyway, we don’t know where the Sino-Ocean overseas gas station is. Rather than looking for them all over the world like headless flies, we might as well wait for them to come. Find us and keep on trawling."

"Yes, Captain." Xu Fang immediately took his orders, pinched out the cigarette butts and ran towards the operating room.

Zhou Wang immediately said, "Captain, I'm going to cast a net now?"

Xiang Yang shook his head, "Wait first, there are two humpback whales in this sea area, and fish must be scared away. We sailed for a certain distance and then cast the net."

"Okay, Captain." Zhou Wang actually meant the same. "The two humpback whales are really cute. When our fishing boat sails, they follow our boat far behind and do not disturb our fishing. Once our boat stops They swam over immediately after dropping them."

"It would be great if this sea eagle followed us like this in the future." Fang Youqun pointed to the sea eagle.

Xiang Yang followed the direction of Fang Youqun's fingers and looked at the sea eagle, and smiled without speaking.

The whole chicken has been eaten half by the sea eagles, and the remaining chicken sea eagles have not eaten any more, just swallowed the chicken skin, and then tore the chicken from the chicken rack bit by bit and piled it on the side deck .

Xiang Yang looked at it curiously, wondering what the tiger-headed sea eagle was doing to tear off the chicken.

According to Xiang Yang's knowledge, Steller's sea eagles do have the habit of shredding food, but that is the habit of female Steller's sea eagles when they are breastfeeding their young.

When the young vultures were born not long ago, the relatives would tear up the food they caught bit by bit and place them in the eagle's nest for the small vultures to peck themselves. As the young vultures grew older, the relatives would tear them from their prey. The larger the meat, until the young eagles grow feathers, the parent birds will throw the whole prey caught in the eagle's nest and let the chicks peck themselves, and no longer have the habit of tearing the food off the skeleton.

The fishing boat set sail, and the deck shook for a while. The sea eagle who was tearing food was taken aback by the sudden movement. The right wing flared, and a pair of sharp claws made the deck creak.

"Woo!"

When the two whales in the sea saw the fishing boat set sail, they consciously stopped playing in the water, swinging the tail of the whale to swim towards the rear of the fishing boat.

"Chirp!" The sea eagle on the deck screamed as soon as they saw it, picking up a piece of chicken that had been torn from the chicken rack and ran to the stern position like an ostrich and threw the piece of chicken into the sea.

The two humpback whales swam slowly and glanced on the deck, but did not eat the chicken.

When the sea eagle saw it, he slapped his claws in anxious position on the aft deck, and cried non-stop.

"Uh, is this guy using chicken to thank the humpback whale for saving it?" Xiang Yang said uncertainly, looking at the scene before him.

Fang Youqun immediately denied: "Brother Yang, you are not right, but you are the one who saved it. It wants to thank you and that is also thank you!"
