My Deep-sea Fishery

A barnacle is a calcareous arthropod commonly found on seaside reefs.

Barnacles are extremely hardy and often form dense colonies on rocks, docksides, ships and even some large marine organisms.

This is a very annoying creature. The barnacles attached to the docks along the coast will make the docks more prone to aging. The barnacles on the submarine cables and other places will even damage the cables and cause great harm. The barnacles attached to the hull will make the Ship speed is greatly reduced.

The parasitic barnacles on whales often cause great pain to whales. Even whales with thick skin like humpback whales often beat the water crazily because of itching, and even actively hit the rocks and ran aground trying to remove the barnacles .

Some people find it inconceivable that whales, as the overlords of the ocean, are almost the largest animals on earth. How can these giants travel thousands of kilometers in the ocean every year, how could they be associated with ugly and small barnacles?

In fact, a large number of barnacles attached to the surface of the whale will make the whale as painful as psoriasis and sores, and many whales died because of the barnacles.

Barnacles are one of the most vulnerable creatures in the ocean. In order to survive, barnacles will tie to the surface of the whale after they come into contact with the skin of the whale. The body will secrete a highly viscous substance that is stronger than glue to hold itself firmly Stick to the whale, and implant the lower body into the whale's skin, and finally successfully parasitize on the whale.

The barnacles on the whale are like shocking scars.

Be a ninja. Xiang Yang took off his gloves and put them in the net bag, trying to break off a piece of barnacle growing at the corner of the male whale's eye.

As if he knew what Xiang Yang was going to do next, the male whale was so excited that he kept slapping the sea surface with his powerful tail, creating waves of waves.

There are many barnacles growing from the corners of the male whale's eyes all the way to the vents on the back.

These barnacles are very firmly attached to the body of the male whale. They have gone through countless winds and waves with the humpback whale and never sank to the bottom of the sea. When Xiang Yang tried to break it off, it took a lot of effort to break one off.

Where a barnacle was snapped off, a humpback whale left a small, pitted hole, as if a human had squeezed a blackhead out of its skin.

Looking at the pitted hole, Xiang Yang felt a little distressed, and immediately broke the second one.

The barnacles are firmly attached to the humpback whale, and it would definitely hurt to break them off so abruptly, but the male whale seemed to feel no pain at all, and his body remained motionless on the sea surface like a hill.

On the contrary, the female whale slapped the surface of the water for a while, swam to Xiang Yang for a look, and sometimes even pulled Xiang Yang's shoulder with her fins, as if telling Xiang Yang to help him clean up the barnacles first.

A group of crew members on the ship watched enthusiastically.

Although the barnacle is a creature worthy of disgust, it is the dream of countless people at the same time. The barnacle contains all trace elements in its body and is the best natural tonic, which makes many people fall in love with it and go crazy.

Barnacles are not only nutritious but also very delicious. If you only talk about their appearance, it is hard to imagine what kind of mentality the first person who ate barnacles had. However, all diners who have eaten barnacles are all conquered by its delicious taste , the taste of barnacle meat is so tender that it doesn't look like shellfish at all, just like tofu that melts in your mouth.

For example, the price of the best gooseneck barnacle among barnacles can be as high as eight or nine thousand yuan per catty.

Of course, these humpback whales are not the best gooseneck barnacles among the barnacles, but the most common cylindrical barnacles.

It is also very difficult to collect cylindrical barnacles. Fishermen are generally unwilling to collect them, so they are rarely sold in the market. On the contrary, cylindrical barnacles are sold very hotly online, and the price ranges from one or two hundred yuan per catty to one or two thousand. The price ranges from a catty, and many people buy it in every price range.

The nutrient-rich barnacles that grow on humpback whales and have experienced strong winds and waves with humpback whales are naturally the best among cylindrical barnacles, and each catty is worth thousands of dollars.

It took Xiang Yang twenty minutes to help the male humpback whale clean up all the barnacles in the corners of its eyes.

The barnacles collected from the corners of the male whale's eyes alone filled one-fifth of a net bag, at least three to four catties.

On the back of the male humpback whale, there are more barnacles parasitic in the folds of the abdomen, densely packed at least hundreds of kilograms, especially around the vents, the barnacles are connected one by one like a large scar on the humpback whale. Can scare people with trypophobia so they can't sleep at night.

The barnacles at the corners of the male humpback whale's eyes were collected by Xiang Yang and he closed his eyes, as if he couldn't feel those damn little things. Afterwards, the male whale was very excited and repeatedly touched Xiang Yang with his head.

Xiang Yang also touched the male whale's head with a smile, and said with a smile: You have too many barnacles on your body, and I can't clean them all by myself, so I'll call my crew to help you clean it up, okay?

After speaking, Xiang Yang shouted to the deck without waiting for the humpback whale to agree: Is there anyone willing to come down with me to help these two humpback whales clean up the barnacles?

Some of the crew members on the ship were hungry and thirsty and wanted to go to sea. At this time, they immediately shouted: I, I, I, captain, I want to come! The other part of the crew laughed at the two for various reasons. He didn't say anything.

In the end, only eight people, including He Mingde, chose to go to sea.

Xiang Yang waved his big hand and promised that those who went into the sea to collect barnacles from humpback whales would receive 2,000 yuan in red envelopes each after returning, which made everyone who went into the sea smile with joy and their enthusiasm increased, even those on the deck who dared not disembark Two of the crew members also changed into diving suits under the heartbeat.

The two humpback whales cooperated very well with the work of Xiang Yang and others. They both floated motionless on the surface of the sea, and even let the crew climb onto their backs.

The crew members were a little timid at first, but after breaking off several barnacles in a row, they gradually became more courageous, and the speed of collecting barnacles was also much faster.

The crew members on the boat were taking pictures of Xiang Yang and the others with their mobile phones, and someone even recorded a video of Xiang Yang and his group lying on the back of the whale to collect barnacles.

The barnacles on the back of the humpback whale are easy to collect. In less than two hours, all the barnacles in the folds of the back of the humpback whale were cleaned up. Even some barnacle larvae were not let go. Prevent them from regenerating on the back of the whale in the future.

But those barnacles in the belly of the humpback whale are not so easy to collect.

The barnacles on the belly of the humpback whale are very firmly attached to the skin of the humpback whale, and it is very inconvenient to move underwater. Usually, the crew crushed a barnacle and couldn't break it off.

A group of people can't help turning around anxiously under the humpback whale.

There are more barnacles on the abdomen of humpback whales than on the back, not to mention how valuable these barnacles are. Just for the sake of the humpback whale, if you only take the barnacles on its back and don't help it clean up the barnacles on its abdomen, it will be useless. I am afraid that it will not be long before the barnacles will cover the whole body of the two humpback whales.

Thanks for calling for a reward of 100 book coins.
