Chapter 82 The Overlord of the Ocean and the King of the Sky
Soon everything was ready, and the fishing boat set sail.
Two humpback whales followed the fishing boat far away and swam southward, while the sea lions lay on the shore watching the fishing boat leave without following.
After almost half an hour of sailing, there was no trace of the small island behind me on the station deck at this time.
Captain, shall we cast the net? Zhou Wang asked loudly standing by the winch.
Xiang Yang looked below the deck to see the color of the sea water, and after roughly estimating the depth of the sea, he shook his head and said, Wait a little longer.
The fishing net used by Xiang Yang's fishing boat is a parachute bag-shaped trawl net, not a horizontal fishing net with heavy objects hanging vertically from the bottom of the fishing net.
The water in this sea area is too shallow, there are many hills on the bottom of the sea, and there are even hidden reefs. Xiang Yang is worried that if he casts the net now, he will tear off the parachute bag and the fishing net.
If it is a horizontal fishing net with heavy objects hanging vertically at the bottom of the fishing net, there is no such worry. A row of sharp grabbing hooks hanging on the bottom of the fishing net can even crush the reefs on the seabed.
But that kind of net is also called the Juehu net. Not only will sea fish be fished up regardless of their size, but they will also scrape the ground. Wherever they go, no grass will grow and everything will become extinct. destroy the ecological environment of the ocean.
Fishing boats using that kind of nets can be regarded as heinous crimes. If people find out, they will be scolded and wiped out.
In the early years, the inspections and actual operations were not the same, so fishing boats using Juhu nets were repeatedly banned. Although it has improved a lot in the past two years, driven by huge interests, even heavy punishments cannot stop it. There are definitely still people who are obsessed with it.
Others are obsessed with ignorance, and Xiang Yang can't control it, but Xiang Yang can make a final decision on what kind of fishing nets the fishing boat under his feet uses. If Xiang Yang is on board for this fishing boat, it is impossible to use no nets every day.
After sailing forward for a certain distance, Xiang Yang finally gave the order after the fishing boat reached the vast sea: Master Zhou, let's set the net here.
Okay. Zhou Wang had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Hearing this, he immediately controlled the winch and cast the fishing net into the sea.
After confirming that the fishing net automatically spread into a parachute shape under the traction of the fishing boat, Zhou Wang stopped operating the winch, wiped his hands and said: Captain, the net has been put down, and the next step is to wait for the fish to enter the net. gone.
Xiang Yang nodded, Hurry up and recharge your batteries now, and everyone will hurry up after going online later.
Although Xiang Yang said to let everyone recharge their batteries, the crew on the deck basically gathered at the stern of the fishing boat, obviously full of expectations for the catch of this net.
Even Xiang Yang leaned against the railing at the stern and looked at the sea, feeling that the sea that has nurtured generations of fishermen by the sea is so open, clean and transparent
Between the sea and the sky, there was an eagle with the size of a millstone hovering over the fishing boat with its wings spread out.
Strange, how come there are eagles on the sea? Immediately, some crew members frowned.
It's very strange. I often watch the sea go out to sea, but I have never seen an eagle over the ocean before. Another crew member also said.
Xiang Yang looked up at the sky, only to see a huge bird hovering in the blue sky.
Because it was too far away, Xiang Yang couldn't see the specific appearance of the bird, and could only vaguely recognize it as a vulture by its appearance.
It should be a sea eagle! Xiang Yang explained with a smile: There are 8 species of sea eagles in the world, and their distribution is almost all over the world. This one flies so high that we can clearly see that it should be a tiger-headed sea eagle. Existing sea eagles The largest of the species.
Fang Youqun tilted his head, I've only heard of bald eagles.
The bald eagle is also huge in size, but there are no bald eagles in our country. However, the habits of the tiger-headed eagle and the bald eagle are the same, and they like to live near the water. The food is mainly various fish and various birds. , Small animals, when there is not enough food, they will even go to the sea to catch seaweed to eat. Xiang Yang said.
Strange. Xiang Yang frowned as he watched the tiger-headed sea eagle gliding high in the sky and making a deep and hoarse cry from time to time.
What's so strange? He Mingde asked.
Xiang Yang wondered: The tiger-headed sea eagle flies slowly. It often glides in the air, hovers, or stands on the rocky shore for a long time. It usually moves in groups in autumn and winter. Now it is autumn. How can this tiger-headed sea eagle fly? It was a single eagle that flew here.
Could it be the young eagle just driven out of the nest by the parent bird? Fang Youqun joked.
Maybe you were right. Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun, Many hawks have parent birds to drive out their young. Now, when the young birds learn to prey, the parent birds will peck the young birds fiercely. Drive the chicks out of the nest, at this time the chicks need to go out to find territory to build nests and forage for food, usually this time is the time when the death rate of Steller sea eagles is the highest.
Look, it's flying down.
I saw the tiger-headed sea eagle rushing towards the sea like a sharp arrow from mid-air, with a pair of huge wings nearly two meters long stretched backwards, and a pair of thick long legs with two legs no bigger than an adult man. The palm-sized sharp claws showed their sharpness and scratched towards the surface of the sea.
It's going to catch fish!
Everyone looked at the sea area below the tiger-headed sea eagle.
Um, which one is it going to prey on?
Is this a sea eagle or a sand sculpture?
After everyone saw clearly what kind of sea fish was under that sea area, they immediately felt speechless. They could only say that it was indeed a chick.
The tiger-headed sea eagle preys in the direction right behind the fishing boat, where two humpback whales the size of an isolated island are chasing and playing with each other.
The face of the crew collapsed immediately, preying on humpback whales, thanks to that sand sculpture figured it out.
No. Xiang Yang's eyes became much sharper than ordinary people's after being enriched by jade shells, and he vaguely saw that the two humpback whales under the water behind the fishing boat seemed to be preying on something. A huge group of black shadows was fleeing towards the fishing boat under the water surface.
What's wrong? Everyone looked at Xiang Yang with puzzled expressions.
Xiang Yang took a breath and said, This tiger-head sea eagle has so much courage, it actually wants to compete with two humpback whales for food.
Fighting for food with humpback whales? Don't you want to prey on humpback whales? Everyone immediately widened their eyes and watched carefully after hearing the words.
After Xiang Yang's reminder, everyone could vaguely see it this time.
Less than 20 meters in front of the two humpback whales, an octopus with a body length of more than one meter is running away desperately, and the two humpback whales are chasing after it.
Seeing this scene clearly, everyone looked at the sky in horror.
Looking carefully, the end of the Steller's sea eagle's swooping curve is exactly in the direction of the octopus that is desperately trying to escape.
Humpback whale, the top overlord of the ocean.
The tiger-headed golden eagle is the absolute king in the sky.
Seeing the two sides getting closer and closer, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.
Thanks to the head of the team for rewarding 100 book coins again, thank you!
