Due to El Niño and global warming, wild hard bone corals around the world are facing extinction. Some even joked that buying some hard bone corals to raise them now may be worth more than gold 40 years later.

Coral is a strong and fragile creature.

They are strong because they continue to replicate and divide, and can survive for thousands of years. The coral reefs formed by post-mortem bone accumulation gradually rise, eventually surfacing, forming a string of pearl-like reefs in the vast sea. Islands, such as the Nansha Islands and Xisha Islands, are made up of coral islands.

Without corals, China's territorial waters would be much smaller than today.

They are fragile because, although most of them live in tropical oceans, they cannot tolerate water temperatures above 30 degrees for a long time, otherwise they will expel the symbiotic zooxanthellae in their bodies and quickly die.

However, the intensification of the greenhouse effect has continuously heated the global seawater, and corals cannot swim in cool waters to inhabit it like fish. It may take less than 40 years. In 20 years, there may be no wild hard bone coral in the world.

In addition to rising water temperatures, seawater acidification and eutrophication are also important reasons for the extinction of osteochondria, and both of these are entirely due to the discharge of human sewage and industrial wastewater.

The sea floor of the Dapeng Bay in the deep city was a coral-dense species-rich underwater park more than a decade ago, and it is now a large underwater desert.

Against this background, the country has decided to vigorously rectify the aquarium market and ban the exploitation and trade of wild hard bone corals, especially in the South China Sea. The hard bone corals currently circulating in the aquarium market are mostly farmed by Yu, the Philippines and Australia-in theory However, in fact, because it is profitable to dig corals, in addition to farming in Yu's side, fishermen will also dig corals to increase production. It is difficult to tell whether they are artificially cultivated or wild.

Soft corals are not so taboo, because soft corals are more resistant to temperature and there is no risk of extinction for a while, so there are obviously more soft coral species than hard corals in this shop.

The female customer browsed in the shop before, and it seemed that she didn't find the corals she wanted, and she looked disappointed. She shuffled and seemed to be turning away.

The owner of this coral specialty store intentionally retained. He raised his chin, pointed to the coral import license hanging on the wall, and said with pride: "I have a license to operate here, in order to get the license fee. With great effort, my colleagues who were jokes before are now eating jail. You happen to be here today. It may be good to wait for a new batch of corals to be delivered soon. "

"Oh?" The female customer suddenly became interested. "How often do you introduce a new batch of corals here?"

"The time is uncertain, maybe about three months." The boss replied: "Generally it is almost sold out before entering the new one, and seeing which one sells well will be introduced again. At the same time, a small number of new varieties will be introduced for trial sale. "

The female customer frowned. "You are too conservative in the way of business. Too few species and too few colors make you uninterested in buying? Like this large disc coral is only golden, and the brain coral is basically only green. Whether it's Bazi Brain or Australian Doughnuts are all green-dark green, light green, dark green, do you like to give your brain a green color? "

puff!

Some people couldn't help listening, and the netizens in the live broadcast room also laughed with stomachaches, just hated that there was no picture to watch.

This female customer has a sharp word. It sounds like a senior aquarium player. She embarrassed the owner of the shop. She said with a bitter smile: "I also want to introduce more species, but the corals are too delicate, and many types of corals connect me. They ca n’t support each other. After the introduction, they must be sold, or they will be thrown in their hands. "

This shop owner dares to run a coral specialty store. He is definitely an expert in raising corals, and the raising level is definitely higher than that of the female customer. But he has to take care of too many corals, and each kind of coral has a breeding environment such as water temperature and light. The requirements are different, and after a long time, it must be a desperate life, and a little carelessness will cause heavy losses.

Zhang Zi'an was deeply sympathetic, but he did not plan to swim in this muddy water, so as not to embed himself in it.

He focused his attention on the current Chen Liao Coral in the store. Indeed, as the female customer said, although there are many types, they are common colors. Although the colors are rich, they often lack the rare color. Each tank is green.

Coral color is an important factor in determining the price. Even for the same coral, the price can be several times or even a dozen times as long as the color is different.

Rare is expensive, and everyone wants to raise corals with rare colors, so corals with rare colors are often sold out as soon as they appear in the aquarium market. Common colors are not so popular ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Zhang Zi'an planned to visit other coral shops, but heard that a new batch of imported corals was about to arrive, he and some decided to stay for a while.

They want to open their eyes, and he and the female customers look at each other, and they want to scramble for the baby. If they can find rare species of corals or corals of rare colors, they will definitely add color to his aquarium. less.

However, this meant that his wallet was going to bleed a lot.

Some tentatively asked: "Boss, outside the landscape tank display area is not allowed to take pictures. Is this okay? I'm a anchor. If I can, I might be able to help your shop to a certain extent."

The boss groaned a little, and for the sake of being a beautiful woman, he nodded reluctantly: "Only shoot in the store, in fact, I don't expect any publicity. After all, corals are cultivated in small circles. Can come here to buy. "

With his permission, some of them could finally pull out their mobile phones in an upright manner and use the camera to surround the store for a week. The strange coral reef tank immediately aroused the astonishment of netizens in the live broadcast room.

Some netizens heard the words of the boss and were not convinced. They said that they would come to this store to buy corals in two days. They also stated that they had watched some live broadcasts.

Ding!

The elevator stopped on the second floor. It is not an ordinary elevator for customers, but a freight elevator dedicated to employees. The entrance is wider than the ordinary elevator.

"Flash! Flash! The one who flashes, please let me go!"

As soon as the elevator door opened, employees in fish market uniforms pushed the delivery carts into the elevator and yelled to customers who were blocking the way.

The carts were packed with huge incubators and looked quite heavy.

"Here it is." The boss regained his spirits and quit the mobile game he was playing.

Zhang Zi'an also waited for them.
