Golden Fishery

Five hundred and forty-eight. The leatherback turtles are back (3/10)

The cost of island breeding is too high, and it is difficult to correct any problems. For example, these seine nets are connected piece by piece. Usually, if there is a problem with one piece of net, just replace it with a new one.

But when the sharks get entangled, several pieces of nets will be together, which is troublesome, because there are too many torn nets, and it will be difficult to replace them.

The fishermen and breeders on the island were howling, but they could do nothing. The sharks were very cunning. They paraded close to the bottom of the sea and attacked from the underwater around the farm, destroying the foundation of the fishing nets and causing even greater damage.

Shark boats are completely useless, as sharks swim close to the bottom of the sea, even if sonar can find them, fishing nets can't catch them.

After tearing up the fishing nets of the remaining five farms, the sharks left with the tuna schools. The two sides did not invade each other. Qin Shiou positioned the tunas in the North Atlantic and let them go, just waiting for the fish to arrive.

When he returned to the fishing ground, he took a look, and saw that a school of ghost-headed swordfish had also arrived. As soon as these brightly colored guys appeared in the fishing ground, they caused a small-scale sensation. Run away in a panic.

The ghost-headed swordfish were not at all tempted by these fish. They probably knew they couldn't catch up, so they wandered around the fishing ground, and then found the kelp fields, and immediately got into the kelp happily.

Qin Shiou now also understands the habits of ghost-headed saury. Because of their bright colors, it is difficult to catch food in an aboveboard situation. In this way, they can only look for some floating objects, hiding below and waiting for the fish to come and go.

So it seems. The ghost-headed saury preys a bit on the sidelines, too passive and not active enough. Qin Shiou was really worried that these guys would starve to death in his own fishing ground, because the fish transformed by the Sea God's energy were all a little clever. After a long time, it is estimated that they will know that the danger of the kelp field is no longer approaching.

There are not only small fish but also big fish near the kelp field. The ghost-headed saury caused a bit of a stir in the fishing ground before. Snowball, Skate and Bean discovered their arrival, but Xueqiu and Skate were not interested, and Bean was still hungry, so he pounced on them.

The bottlenose dolphin reached the bottom of the kelp field after a few charges. It observed and aimed at a fat saury. He jumped up like a sharp arrow.

The ghost-headed saury was unavoidable, and was immediately bitten by the bean. Just as Qin Shiou was about to stop the bean, he found that the ghost-headed saury had stopped moving in the bean's mouth. He was probably bitten to death, so he had to give up.

Bean dragged the ghost-headed saury to swim several hundred meters. It felt that the food in its mouth was not moving, so it spit it out, turned around a few times and found that it was dead, and left unhappy.

Just after Bean disappeared,

The ghost-headed saury, which looked dead, came back to life with a flick of its tail. It looked around cleverly, and after finding no natural enemies, it shook its head and tail and returned to the kelp field unharmed.

Qin Shiou was amazed when he saw it. These ghost-headed saury were not as stupid as they looked, and they even pretended to be dead to avoid being hunted by dolphins. Smart can.

In nature, it is not uncommon for animals to play dead to avoid natural enemies, because many animals do not eat rot, and rotting animals contain too many bacteria and viruses. It is easy to cause some diseases. But fish rarely see this ability, it's very simple, they don't have that kind of brain, and the ghost-headed saury is obviously an outlier among them.

This ability to avoid dolphins is really good. You must know that dolphins like to play first after catching food, and Bean likes to shoot them out of the water with his tail after catching small fish. It jumped up, caught it and swallowed it alive.

If the prey is dead, the dolphins lose interest. They only eat living things, such as cod and salmon, they open their mouths and swallow them alive, unlike sharks that bite their opponents to death before swallowing them.

Spring is here, the fishing ground is getting warmer, and many oceanic roving fish have returned. Qin Shiou also encountered a group of leatherback turtles that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Qin Shiou controlled the leatherback turtles in the fishing ground before, but these big turtles did not lay eggs or reproduce. There was no other way, Qin Shiou had no choice but to let go of the restraint on them, and then these big tortoises left the fishing ground in late autumn, presumably going to the southern hemisphere to overwinter, and only a few remained in the fishing ground in the end.

At this time, he went to look at the mouth of the small river, and found a large group of leatherback turtles looking for food at the mouth of the river. Moreover, among these leatherback turtles, there are many small turtles that are only the size of a palm. These small turtles are very interesting. Instead of swimming by themselves, they lie on the large carapace of their parents.

Seeing the group of leatherback turtles coming with their young turtles, Qin Shiou was amused, hey, these guys really have to go on an ocean cruise before they mate and lay eggs. It seems that they left the fishing grounds not because they didn't like the fishing grounds, but because they had to breed.

Now that the breeding was successful, they dragged their families back to the Daqin Fishing Ground. Qin Shiou roughly counted the group of sea turtles forty or fifty in total. The leatherback turtles from the fishing ground appeared again.

Leatherback turtles cannot be eaten or sold, but they are very important to the fishery because they can eat jellyfish very well. As long as they are there, the fishery will not be flooded with jellyfish.

Looking at those soft and weak little tortoises, Qin Shiou generously injected some Seagod energy. These tortoises are so conscientious, they can be cultivated as direct descendants.

The leatherback turtles are conscientious and model workers. After absorbing the energy of the sea god, the turtles, large and small, began to clean up the jellyfish in the fishing ground.

Their eyes looked dull, but in fact they had very good eyesight. Even Qin Shiou might not be able to see the translucent jellyfish, but they were able to find them immediately and eat them.

The large shell of the leatherback turtle is more than one meter, and there are small and dense teeth in the mouth. It looks quite scary when hunting. When several leatherback turtles were hunting, they happened to encounter a group of squids that were also hunting.

Qin Shiou has put small squid into the fishing ground several times. It has been a year, and these small squid have grown a lot—they are not as fast as cod, but much faster than herring and mackerel. The big squid is half a meter long long.

It turned out that these squids were eating, and their bodies were like neon boards. They were colorful, changeable, and colorful, and they looked very beautiful.

Qin Shiou had noticed it before, and he thought it was the special body color expression of squids when they were eating. Now that the Sea God's Heart has the ability to feel the mood of creatures, he realized that this is not the case. It is when squids are happy that their body color changes. So colorful.

As a result, when the leatherback turtle approached, the color of the squid's body surface disappeared immediately, replaced by black and white bands like zebra stripes, which looked murderous.

The leatherbacks were unresponsive, they were not interested in the squids, and continued to swim forward to look for jellyfish.

The squids thought they were here to prey on them, but when they saw that the color bands on their bodies could not scare others, they could only resort to a unique trick, spewing out jet-black ink from their mouths, then shrunk their coat cavities violently, and sprayed water from their abdomens. A jet of water sprayed out of the hole, and escaped quickly with the help of the reaction force.

The leatherback turtles didn't care, and continued to swim forward slowly, which was called calmness. (to be continued)
