My deep sea fishery

Chapter 170

If the searchlights are turned on, after a while the swordfish swims closer, they might be able to recognize Xiang Yang as humans and not monkfish.

"Swordfish rarely attack humans, and they may consciously retreat after recognizing me as a human." Xiang Yang thought.

Xiang Yang's idea is not a whimsical whim, but a practical one.

Swordfish love to eat a kind of sea shrimp whose scales can refract light. In the Atlantic area, swordfish often use its sword to attack that kind of shrimp. He will tear the hunted lobster into pieces or swallow it whole.

Occasionally in some areas of the coast, swordfish will mistake the light reflected by the gold and silver jewelry or sunglasses on the girl for that kind of shrimp. The swordfish will often swim past quickly, but when they swim close, they find that the prey is not that. After planting shrimps they will swim again.

It’s also worth mentioning that although swordfish are marine fish that live in warm waters, they are different from other tropical fish. Normal tropical marine fish cannot keep their body temperature higher than the temperature of the surrounding water, so they will Frozen.

The swordfish is different. The swordfish has unique muscles and brown adipose tissue to provide warm blood for the brain and eyes. It can still move freely even if it reaches the extreme cold depths of the ocean.

Xiang Yang ran to the coast while looking back at the swordfish.

Soon Xiang Yang's face changed and became extremely ugly.

Now that swordfish is only more than 100 meters away from Xiangyang, it is impossible to tell whether Xiangyang is a human or monkfish with the swordfish’s eyesight within such a short distance, but the swordfish slows down even a little. It doesn't mean anything.

"Damn, this swordfish is dead, I must take it back to make a pot of fish broth." Xiang Yang said fiercely.

Although the swordfish is only more than a hundred meters away from Xiang Yang, Xiang Yang is not worried now, because he is only a few meters away from the shore, and most of Xiang Yang's body is now there. Outside the sea, only a small part of the legs are still in the sea, and the speed of action has been greatly improved, and it will definitely be able to run back to the shore before the swordfish can catch them.

He Mingde and Zhang Qicheng were speechless when they heard Xiang Yang's words. The co-author is still thinking about eating.

However, the two of them did not hold a negative attitude towards Xiang Yang's proposal, because they also hated the swordfish behind them.

Because of the appearance of this swordfish, their diving plan was terminated.

The most important thing is to avoid this swordfish. The three of them all lost the helmets on the diving equipment. It is at least a few thousand dollars to buy a helmet like that.

Finally, with the sound of stamping on the water, Xiang Yang and the three of them ran back to the beach.

The three were relieved.

Just as Xiang Yang turned his head and wanted to take a good look at the swordfish, Xiang Yang suddenly looked aside, because the swordfish hadn't slowed down its swimming speed for the reason that he and others had already been in the water.

"It's still sprinting." Zhang Qicheng said dumbfounded.

"Could it not see us coming ashore and want to chase us ashore?" He Mingde frowned.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise.

At the moment when Zhang Qicheng was talking to He Mingde, the swordfish hit the beach directly, and an iron mouth pierced into the fine sand. The huge body glided on the beach for nearly ten meters, leaving it on the beach. A huge scratch.

Zhang Qicheng and He Mingde were stunned by this scene.

Xiang Yang was also slightly taken aback, but he immediately reacted and shouted: "Go, let's go and catch this swordfish."

He Mingde and Zhang Qicheng quickly pulled Xiang Yang from left to right.

"What are you?" Xiang Yang asked.

"Be cautious, be cautious, brother Xiang." Zhang Qicheng glanced at the swordfish tumbling hard on the beach with lingering fear, "This swordfish must be dead when it ran aground on the beach. It's a big loss to be pierced by its iron mouth."

Xiang Yang suddenly laughed when he heard the words, "I can't help it in the sea and it's excusable. Now if I can't help it when I get to the shore, then I don't need to fish anymore."

Swordfish is an important economic fish species.

Xiang Yang didn't want to wait for the swordfish to pick up the body after it died naturally, he wanted to go up and catch it alive.

There are totally two prices for the living swordfish and the dead swordfish.

After the dead swordfish is cut, it is sold for about forty or fifty yuan a catty, which is cheaper than the price of beef, and you have to exclude the innards and other worthless things.

The living swordfish currently sells for one hundred and fifty yuan to two hundred yuan a catty in the market.

Especially the swordfish in front of me is nearly six meters long and weighs at least 500 kilograms. Such a large swordfish is not just as simple as eating a swordfish. If it can be brought back alive, I believe that someone will buy it even if it costs several hundred thousand yuan.

When Zhang Qicheng and He Mingde heard what Xiang Yang said, they knew that they couldn't hold Xiang Yang, so they had to let go of Xiang Yang's arm and said, "Then we will help you together."

Xiang Yang did not refuse. Such a big swordfish is indeed not something he can handle alone, especially if he wants to catch the other party alive.

"Be careful." Xiang Yang exhorted, "I'll catch this swordfish. You two will help me from the side. I will give you two a red envelope of 20,000 yuan each."

Xiang Yang said this mainly because he wanted to establish the ownership of this swordfish.

Strictly speaking, the destination of this swordfish should belong to the three of them, but because this swordfish was first proposed by Xiang Yang to catch alive, He Mingde and Zhang Qicheng wanted to wait for the swordfish to die naturally. After deciding to catch this swordfish alive, Xiang Yang has the priority of distribution.

Calculated according to the price of dead swordfish meat, it would be good to sell this swordfish to three of them and get 10,000 yuan each, so Xiang Yang's giving them 20,000 yuan per person is not considered black.

He Mingde naturally has no opinion on this.

Zhang Qicheng didn't care much about the 20,000 yuan. He said: "You might as well kill this fish and ask me to eat swordfish meat."

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes and said: "The bigger the swordfish, the more unpalatable it is. The young swordfish have delicious meat. Swordfish over a few dozen catties can only be eaten with salt and dried. When the fish is sent to the canning factory, no one collects it. The meat is too old and the knife can’t be cut. If you really want to eat it, I will buy you some canned young fish, fish sausages, fish ham, etc. These are rich It contains fat, and contains a lot of vitamins, potassium, etc. It is delicious and not greasy. Don't worry about this one now. I will give it to you and you won't be able to bite."

"I don't want those." Zhang Qicheng waved his hand. He also knew that what Xiang Yang was talking about was the truth, and research showed that most organisms at the top of the food chain like swordfish had a large concentration of a pollutant called methylmercury.

Eating a large amount of this pollutant will occasionally poison the central nervous system, and the body will have various unsuitable reactions.
