Xiang Yang slowly approached the sea scorpion.
Professor Chen Yu's voice came from the helmet, "Be careful, this red sea scorpion is the most poisonous species in the stonefish family. Its sting is known as the "fatal sting" and can cause great pain to humans. Although it does not look impressive and is only about 30 centimeters long, it likes to hide on the seabed or under reefs to disguise itself as an inconspicuous stone. But if someone accidentally steps on it, it will immediately counterattack without hesitation and emit deadly poison. The 14 needle-like dorsal spines on its back can easily penetrate the soles of rubber shoes and pierce into the soles of the feet, causing people to be poisoned quickly and in severe pain until they die."
Xiang Yang's face was full of seriousness. "Teacher, this diving suit can't resist its poison needles?"
"If it's the body or the head, then of course it's okay, but the soles of the feet and the palms are really not okay." Chen Yu said.
Xiang Yang expressed his understanding that this diving suit was designed to be in the shape of a frog's paw in order to facilitate divers to swim while diving. The soles of the feet were very thin, and there was also a very thin layer of shark skin on the palms to protect the soul. Xiang Yang had previously thought that there was an inner protective layer, but he was obviously overthinking it.
"Come up first!" Professor Chen Yu said, "The best way to catch a sea scorpion is to cover it with a fish basket. This kind of fish has a very small range of activity and will almost always stay in the same place from birth to death. Now that you have found it, you don't have to worry about it running away. You will have plenty of opportunities to catch it if you bring a fish basket with you in the future."
Xiang Yang thought to himself that Professor Chen Yu was right, this was the habit of stonefish.
But Professor Chen Yu obviously didn't understand the habits of Li Chao and the others. Xiang Yang dared to guarantee that if he didn't catch it now, the stonefish would definitely not be here when he looked back.
After ending the call with Professor Chen Yu, Xiang Yang searched the surroundings carefully by himself. Stonefish is a difficult target for marine creatures, but for fishermen, especially those wearing protective clothing, it is not completely hopeless. As Professor Chen Yu said, as long as they have a fish basket, they can easily bring it ashore.
Relying on his eyesight advantage, Xiang Yang quickly found a useful thing not far away.
It was actually a piece of marine garbage, a large iron barrel that had been used to hold paint. Half of the barrel was buried under the sea sand, and the half that was exposed on the sea surface was rusty but not broken.
Xiang Yang pretended to swim towards that direction nonchalantly. After about ten meters, he suddenly let out a "Huh?" and then swam quickly towards the iron barrel.
At this time, the camera also captured the iron barrel. Professor Chen Yu laughed and said to the people around him, "This kid is lucky. It seems that the sea scorpion has no way to escape."
The most excited person among the group was Li Chao. He wished he could put on a diving suit and do it himself.
Xiang Yang swam to the paint bucket and was about to dig out the sea sand when he suddenly saw something moving inside the paint bucket.
Xiang Yang was startled. Could it be a squid? If a squid as big as the barrel really came out of the barrel, it would attack people. Although the squid would definitely not be able to do anything to Xiang Yang in the end, Xiang Yang was also afraid that those people on the shore would notice his abnormality during the fight.
With a hint of vigilance, Xiang Yang looked cautiously towards the mouth of the iron barrel.
Xiang Yang was immediately surprised when he saw this. Half of the barrel mouth was blocked by sand and stones, but the inside of the barrel was very clean and tidy except for some inevitable rust. A real lobster as long as an arm was curled up in the iron barrel, looking restless.
True lobster, also known as big lobster, is a type of rock lobster. Strictly speaking, it is actually the real big lobster. It is a large edible shrimp that is precious all over the world. It is widely distributed in all continents of the world with many varieties. It tastes delicious and nutritious. It is favored by food lovers from all over the world. It is a very precious shrimp species. In my country, it once represented the luxury of a class together with abalone, sea cucumber and other seafood.
The big lobster is different from the Boston lobster. It has the same gorgeous appearance as the Splendid lobster. It does not have big claws, but has two powerful whiskers. The only difference is that the Splendid lobster has a gorgeous appearance with bright colors, while the ordinary lobster does not have that. It just has a layer of shiny gray-black shell.
This kind of lobster is usually served in the lobster dish ordered in seafood restaurants. Unlike the Splendid Lobster and Australian Lobster, it does not have a beautiful and nice prefix. It is called the real lobster.
"Fuck, this lobster weighs almost ten pounds?" Li Chao exclaimed again.
"I definitely don't have 10 kilograms, but I definitely have 5 kilograms." Mr. Peng gestured and said, "Mr. Li, if you take this lobster back, keep it for me. I'll go to your place tomorrow and order a feast for the whole sea."
Li Chao's mouth was cracked to the roots of his ears. "Why are we waiting for tomorrow? Let's eat it today. This kind of lobster is big and plump, with a thin shell and full meat. It tastes sweet and fresh. It is the best food."
What Li Chao said was correct. Strictly speaking, this kind of lobster is indeed the top-notch food.
Because special shrimp species like French blue dragon and Splendid lobster are generally not eaten by anyone. They are extremely rare and have already gone beyond the scope of food ingredients. Most hotels don’t even have time to catch them once they get them, so how can they be eaten
On the other hand, real lobsters like this one can be found from the coast to the deep sea, and there are so many of them that their prices are not too high. For example, a lobster weighing more than a pound usually costs only a few hundred yuan per pound, so it is the most ideal ingredient in the minds of many foodies.
Professor Chen Yu also said: "Compared with the Australian dragon, the swan lobster is also large and plump, with white and delicate meat, rich in nutrition, and rich in high protein and unsaturated fatty acids. The reason why it is not as famous as the Australian dragon is that Australia regards swan lobster as the country's most important economic seafood, and the economic benefits account for 20% of Australia's annual total fishery output. There are currently more than 600 fishing boats specializing in lobster fishing, and there are more than 57,000 lobster cages deployed from Hamelin Bay to the Houtman Islands alone."
"It is impossible for our country to have fishing boats that only catch shrimps. If we do that, the fishermen will suffer huge losses." Zhang Qicheng said with a smile.
On the other side, Xiang Yang stretched out his hand and pressed on the back of the big lobster to pull it out of the iron bucket.
Of course, it was impossible for such a big lobster to let Xiang Yang catch it without resistance. The six teams of tiny tentacles around its mouth stabbed desperately, but the shell was caught by Xiang Yang and could not touch Xiang Yang at all.
Xiang Yang first took a careful look at the big lobster. It has five pairs of walking legs used for migration. In addition, there are six pairs of tiny tentacles around its mouth. Not counting the two whiskers, its body length may reach 40 cm, and the length of the carapace alone is 10 cm.
Xiang Yang estimated that the lifespan of this lobster may have reached 20 years, because its shell feels very rough when pressed, which is clearly a sign that it has not shed its shell for a long time.
