My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 20 Flounder



When he got to the beach, Xiang Yang still didn't row the boat, and just plunged into the sea with a sharp plunge.

Although Xiang's father has a small fishing boat, in Xiang Yang's view, that kind of small fishing boat is a waste of his time. Anyway, Xiang Yang is the only one with diving equipment in Qinglong Bend at this time, and the villagers don't know What is the specific situation at the bottom of the sea? Xiang Yang is not afraid that someone will find his abnormality when he arrives at the bottom of the sea.

Xiang Yang passed through jungles on the seabed, and arrived at a sea area with very clean and clear water.

This sea area seems to be very barren, there are no exaggerated giant algae, and there are no strange-shaped coral reefs. The fine white sand covers the entire seabed, and even seaweed is very scarce.

Xiang Yang liked this environment very much. He tore off the flippers on his feet and walked barefoot on this silver sea beach.

The sparse seagrass makes the seafood in this sea area very barren. Looking around, Xiang Yang can almost only see some finger-sized sea fish coexisting leisurely with scallops that can be seen everywhere on the bottom of the sea, and the number is very rare.

Being barren also has its benefits. The sea area where the jungle is always thrilling is very prosperous, but it doesn't belong to them. Xiang Yang grabbed a small red fish that was as thick as a chopstick but was so courageous that it even dared to swim in front of him. Exclaimed.

Although the mouth of this small red fish is full of fangs, it hardly has any attack power because of its small size. Xiang Yang guesses that they are also a kind of marine life that eats scallops.

Xiang Yang was not interested in this little red fish, so after observing it for a while, he let go of the little red fish in his palm. As soon as the little guy broke free from Xiang Yang's clutches, he immediately swam away in fright and disappeared after only a while .

Xiang Yang smiled and didn't care about it. Except for a few predators at the top of the food chain in the ocean, most of the remaining creatures are struggling to survive. They are all worthy of respect. It is a miracle in itself that this kind of small fish with no attack power can rely on the scallops that can be seen everywhere on the seabed to form a unique small ecological circle in this barren sea area.

Xiang Yang continued to walk forward.

Huh? Xiang Yanggang seemed to be dazzled for a moment, seeing a piece of sea sand moving in front of him, he even stopped to observe carefully.

After looking carefully, Xiang Yang laughed. It turned out to be a flounder.

Flounder is a kind of cheap sea fish, which can be seen everywhere, and the market price is generally around 20 yuan a catty.

But this does not prevent people from loving flounder, because its meat is very delicious and rich in protein. The most important thing is that you don’t have to worry about being stuck by fishbone when eating flounder. It is a sea fish that is very suitable for children. People even It has a very nice common name - Turbot.

In fact, flounder is also a very interesting sea fish. It can change the color of its body surface according to the surrounding environment like a chameleon, and disguise itself as sand and stones on the seabed.

Once the flounder changes its body color, it is difficult to detect with the naked eye by using sand as an aid to blend itself into the environment and enter a camouflaged state.

The reason why Xiang Yang was able to find this flounder was not only because Xiang Yang had particularly good eyesight at the bottom of the sea, but also because the flounder that Xiang Yang found was currently hunting.

I saw it lying on the beach leisurely and leisurely, covering its whole body with sand, leaving only a pair of eyes outside. A small red sea fish swam to its side before it opened its mouth suddenly.

It may be that the little red sea fish was startled by the movement. The moment the flounder opened its mouth, the little fish immediately fled in panic.

The flounder who failed to prey were not discouraged, and continued to swim leisurely on the bottom of the sea, shaking their bodies and burying themselves with sea sand, waiting for the next prey to be delivered to their mouths.

Xiang Yang smiled and went up to dug this flounder from the beach and put it in his net bag. Whether it is worth money is one thing, but whether it tastes good is another. Tonight we have a boiled turbot with garlic Xiang Yang has already decided in advance.

Xiang Yang already liked the calm environment of this sea area, and after finding a turbot, Xiang Yang was even less anxious to leave this barren sea area, and began to search carefully on the bottom of the sea.

There is no swim bladder in the flounder, and the swimming speed is very slow, and there are no sharp teeth to resist foreign enemies. Hiding itself in the shadow is not only a predation method for the flounder, but also a defense method for the flounder. After all, the flounder hiding in the shadow is difficult for predators to find. Powerful predators generally don't pay attention to whether a beach is delicious even if they pass by.

But compared to the general marine predators, as long as one of a group of flounder is discovered by an intelligent predator like a fisherman, it will be a disaster for the entire group of flounder.

For fishermen, there is simply no better fish to catch than a flounder lying motionless on the bottom of the sea. As long as you look carefully and catch it, you will be caught dead.

Of course, flounder also does not refer to a single type of sea fish, but a huge flounder family. In the entire huge flounder family, not every kind of flounder is as useless as the one Xiang Yang is catching now.

For example, the large-mouthed flounder, the kind of flounder with a mouthful of iron teeth and steel teeth that can swim long distances on the bottom of the sea, let alone Xiang Yang, even sharks are afraid of three points when they see it. Of course, fear turns into fear, and if you really encounter a shark, you can kill it.

This barren sea area may be due to the absence of natural enemies. Xiang Yang was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a lot of flounder living. Basically, every few meters he walked, he could find a flounder that buried itself under the sand.

Even if Xiang Yang only picked the ones over one kilogram in size, he caught more than a dozen of them in a few minutes, filling the entire net bag to the brim.

Rao, flounder is not worth much, wholesale sales can only be sold for about ten yuan a catty, and the money comes in very quickly. Xiang Yang, who was in a good mood, immediately decided to swim back to the shore and drag his father's fishing boat for a whole day. The boat's flounder went back.

Back at Qinglong Bend, everyone saw Xiang Yang wearing a diving suit and catching a net full of flounder not long after he came back. Everyone was very envious, and the idea of ​​buying a diving suit was even more firm in their hearts. few.

Brother Yang, you're lucky. Although this flounder is not very valuable to sell individually, you can get a large group if you lie on the bottom of the sea without moving. A young man about Xiang Yang's age stared at the net bag on Xiang Yang's waist Almost straight.

Although the flounder only charges eight or nine yuan a catty in the town, the net bag on Xiang Yang's waist weighs more than twenty catties, and he earns nearly two hundred yuan in less than half an hour in the sea. No wonder this young man is envious .

Xiang Yang smiled, In the future, if you catch flounder, you can also sell it to me. I will buy it for nine yuan a catty. Although the price is similar to the price purchased in the town, these cheap sea fish are really not profitable, so I will give it to you. Make it easy.

Aquatic product buyers in every place think that the more precious the seafood, the deeper the water. On the contrary, the prices for less valuable seafood such as flounder are more reasonable. This kind of foreign retail sales can only be sold for more than ten or twenty yuan. Zhang Qicheng bought Xiang Yang ten yuan a catty of flounder, and Xiang Yang's price of nine yuan was really not profitable.
