Although oarfish are distributed throughout the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean.
But oarfish always live in deep waters, making them difficult to catch and observe.
Not to mention the price, it’s hard to even see them.
People have always known very little about the oarfish. For thousands of years, the oarfish has been shrouded in mystery as a sea serpent.
In 2006, a dying oarfish appeared on the sea surface near the coast of Australia. The oarfish had a serious disease and was no longer able to dive into the deep sea. It could only float motionlessly on the water surface.
After being discovered by nearby fishermen, they used a hook to drag the oarfish to the shore.
After the news spread, it immediately caused a great earthquake in the scientific and biological communities. For a time, marine zoologists, biologists, and scientists from all over the world flocked to Australia, and my country also sent several expert teams there.
pity.
Scientists from dozens of countries gathered in Australia.
However, scientists in most countries only concluded that the oarfish was more than 8 meters long, had a laterally flattened body that was elongated in a ribbon-like shape, a horse-like head, and was dead.
They traveled thousands of miles to reach their destination, but only saw a photo and didn't even smell the fish.
That was the first time the oarfish truly walked out of the deep sea and entered the human vision.
"You guys stay in the cabin, I'll go drag the oarfish in." Fang Youqun crouched down and was about to walk out of the cabin.
Xiang Yang immediately grabbed him and asked, "You want to fly to the sky?"
Fang Youqun shook his head and laughed, "Brother Yang, even the oarfish has fallen. The power of the tornado has obviously passed. How can it suck me away?"
"You can't go out then." Chen Qingsheng said seriously, "The wind is getting weaker now, but now is the most dangerous time. Do you know how many fish the tornado sucked up? How many fish will fall down soon? If a big fish hits you on the head, do you think your small body can withstand it?"
"Bang."
It seemed to confirm what Chen Qingsheng said.
Another loud noise was heard on the deck outside the cabin.
"Did you see it?" Chen Qingsheng pointed out the window seriously, then turned his head to look outside the cabin.
"This, this is, I, I see, I see...what...what?"
However, Chen Qingsheng only glanced out the window, and his eyes widened in vain, and he was so excited that his voice stuttered.
Xiang Yang rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "A piece of paper fell from the sky..."
“Whoosh!”
One in front and one behind, Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng both moved, and they rushed quickly towards the cabin door.
"Captain, Lao Chen, what are you doing? It's fishing outside, it's very dangerous." Xu Fang shouted hurriedly.
Instead of stopping, Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng rushed even faster.
Xiang Yang shouted loudly: "Don't say it's raining fish outside, even if it's raining missiles outside, I will go out, no one can stop me, Chen Qingsheng, you stay in the cabin, I will go outside."
What
Do you want to go there too when missiles are dropped
There’s just been a tornado outside the cabin!
Are you looking for death by going out now
The crew were stunned.
They all looked at Chen Qingsheng.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qingsheng also shouted loudly: "Captain, it's too dangerous outside. Let me go. I promise to help you drag the fish in."
"Nonsense, am I the captain or are you the captain?"
The cabin door was opened.
It was still windy and raining heavily outside.
But these storms are nothing to Xiang Yang.
The real danger comes from the big fish that may fall from overhead.
Xiang Yang looked up at the sky, his eyelids twitched, and he quickly closed the cabin door again.
"Bang!"
A cobia weighing dozens of kilograms hit the deck.
After the sound, Xiang Yang immediately opened the cabin door again.
There were no small spots in the sky this time.
Xiang Yang rushed out in a hurry. He ran to the side of the ship very quickly, grabbed a strange fish that was stuck on the side of the ship and could fall into the sea at any time, and dragged it to the middle of the deck.
The fish was very fat and round, and it looked like it weighed at least several hundred kilograms.
Xiang Yang tried to pull it a few times, but couldn't move it.
Chen Qingsheng quickly ran out of the cabin, held the part of the fish hanging on the side of the boat with his arms, and shouted loudly: "Captain, use more force."
At this time, Xu Fang walked to the door of the cabin. He also saw the fish and immediately took a breath of cold air, "Oh my God."
He quickly looked up at the sky, and when he saw that there were no sea fish nearby, he ran out quickly.
Chen Qingsheng used his arm to hold up the hanging part of the strange fish. Xiang Yang and Xu Fang worked together and finally dragged the fish from the edge of the deck to the middle of the deck.
"It's made, it's made, Captain. If you don't give me a big red envelope of several hundred thousand this time, you will be sorry for me, Old Chen, who risked my life to rush out." Seeing that the fish was saved, Chen Qingsheng was so happy that he danced with joy like a 200-pound child.
"I'm not as greedy as Lao Chen. Just give me a red envelope of ten thousand yuan." Xu Fang also made a rare joke.
"This time, you two will each get 200,000 yuan, not a penny less." Xiang Yang was also in a good mood. He showed a hearty smile, "Now, let's go back to the cabin first."
"Shall we go back to the cabin?" Chen Qingsheng hesitated, "What about this bluefin tuna?"
Xiang Yang looked down at the bluefin tuna. The fish was as fat as a big pig. He and Xu Fang had to work very hard to drag it a few meters. Now the wind and waves were getting smaller and smaller, and moving in another direction. It was impossible to blow the bluefin tuna into the water. They could wait until the wind and waves passed before coming out to deal with it.
Bluefin tuna is known as the most expensive edible fish in the world, with a price comparable to that of gold bricks. Each bluefin tuna is worth at least several million dollars, and even the rich may not be able to afford it.
Especially wild bluefin tuna, which is not only expensive but also rare, and has long been listed as one of the world's rare and protected animals.
If it was a live bluefin tuna, Xiang Yang really wouldn't dare to catch it.
But this bluefin tuna was killed by being swept into the tornado. With the ship's recorder, Xiang Yang naturally dared to take it back openly.
A group of crew members were curious, some crowded at the door, some lying on the boat door, watching eagerly.
When Xiang Yang saw this, he shouted, "Everyone, stay inside the cabin. We will return when the storm is over. I will give each of you a red envelope of 1,000 yuan when we return."
He was in a very good mood now. He had picked up a bluefin tuna worth at least several million dollars for free. He gave each crew member a red envelope of one thousand dollars, which was really a drizzle.
