My Deep Sea Fishery

Chapter 356: 355 The surprising appearance of sea lion (Part 1)

Chen Qingsheng personally took the lead and, along with two crew members, carried back the barracuda, which was more than one meter long.

Xiang Yang, Song Guoning and others crossed the rocky area and continued walking along the beach.

This place is a bit remote. Even the fishermen from Qinglongwan don’t usually come here. The beach is a truly pristine beach. The entire beach is piled with shells, some intact and some broken. The average distance between each shell is no more than ten centimeters.

"What a wide beach." Zhang Qicheng laughed and said, "Maybe there are creatures like sea turtles there."

Xiang Yang glanced around the beach and said with a smile, "I have only been to this beach since I was a child. At that time, some fishermen did not even have a small wooden boat to go out to sea. Many villagers of my uncle's generation liked to climb over the reefs to find crabs or something. But as more and more people in the village went out to work, the remaining fishermen all bought wooden boats. I am afraid no one has come to this beach anymore. I don't know if there are sea turtles, but there must be a lot of crabs and other creatures."

"That's great. Go catch what you want to eat at night, and whoever catches it gets to eat." Zhang Qicheng said.

Zhou Lili and several other ladies immediately objected.

Gentlemen such as Song Guoning also looked at Zhang Qicheng with a smile.

This time, even Li Chao had no intention of helping Zhang Qicheng.

Obviously, these people all eat crabs, but except Zhang Qicheng, none of them have the hobby of catching them themselves.

Zhang Qicheng was immediately bored. "Isn't it just catching a few crabs? It can be used as a recreational activity."

"Okay." Li Chao patted Zhang Qicheng's shoulder, "We are not here to play this time. Next time, I will accompany you to play for a week."

"Okay, it's a deal." Zhang Qicheng said immediately.

Xiang Yang looked at Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng in surprise. They were both their own bosses, and they just asked to go out and play for a week. Was there any problem with their work

What Xiang Yang didn't know was that as long as the business was on the right track.

If you want to be busy, as a boss you can be busy from morning to night every day and have something to do all the time.

But if he wanted to have some free time, not to mention Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng, even Xiang Yang himself could hand over the ocean-going fishing boat to Chen Qingsheng. He only needed to let Chen Qingsheng take people out for a trip on the sea, and Xiang Yang himself would immediately be free.

Xiang Yang and the others kept walking forward.

We walked, talked and looked along the way.

Suddenly, Xiang Yang, who was leading the way, stopped.

Li Chao asked in confusion: "Why aren't you leaving? Hey, what is that?"

On the beach not far in front of Xiang Yang and his friends, there were several round creatures chasing and playing with each other.

The tops of the heads of those creatures were slightly concave, their faces were short and wide, their mouths were blunt and long, they had ear shells on their ears, and their forelimbs were longer and wider than their hind limbs, making their bodies look extremely uncoordinated.

There are four creatures in this group.

The largest one among them has a dark yellowish-brown body, with long lion-like hair on its neck. The other three are much smaller. The smaller ones have a much lighter body color and do not have lion-like hair on their bodies.

"Sea lion." Xiang Yang said.

Most fishermen hate sea lions.

Because sea lions have huge appetites, in order to satisfy their huge appetites, sea lions often break into fishermen's fishing nets, eat and drink their fill, then roll around in the nets, and finally use their powerful limbs to tear big holes in the nets one after another, releasing all the remaining fish in the nets.

Many fishermen worked hard to pull in a net, but ended up losing both the net and the fuel.

However, Xiang Yang was obviously an exception, because he had never been harassed by sea lions so far, and he once had close contact with a group of sea lions at sea for a period of time.

When Xiang Yang saw the group of sea lions, the group of sea lions also saw Xiang Yang and others.

The four sea lions all stood on their hind legs and supported their bodies with their front legs. They sat on the ground like dogs, looking at Xiang Yang and others curiously.

"Can this thing squat like a dog?" someone asked.

Xiang Yang explained: "Although the limbs of sea lions look like fish fins, they are not actually real fish fins. Their forelimbs are strong and powerful, and their hind limbs can bend forward freely, so after leaving the sea, they can still walk flexibly on land and squat on the ground to rest like dogs."

Fang Youqun stood in front of Xiang Yang and asked cautiously, "Captain, these guys don't bite, right?"

Xiang Yang chuckled, "I thought you were blocking me for some reason, but it turned out to be for this. Don't worry, I don't know if these sea lions bite people, but I know that if they do, they definitely can't catch up with me."

Xia Pengjie said: "It is hard to say whether sea lions bite people or not. Many scientists and biologists say that sea lions do not bite people. This is also what I have learned, but there have been reports of sea lions attacking people."

Fang Youqun's face was solemn, "That means it can bite people."

Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

In fact, according to Xiang Yang's understanding, sea lions will not bite people.

Although sea lions are carnivorous animals, they mainly feed on squid and cuttlefish.

Of course, they also eat other fishes, but they are not as fond of squids as they are. Like all other marine mammals, their favorite food is squids, because sea lions are also masters of diving in the ocean, and diving requires an essential nutrient, astaxanthin.

Although sea lions are hated by fishermen, they are the most popular creatures in many ocean theme parks.

The reason!

One reason is that sea lions look cute, with a adorable face in the sky. They also have cute stunts. They can make sounds like cows, and their sounds are louder than those of cows.

Some sea lions in ocean theme parks, after becoming familiar with humans, will naturally pat their bellies with their front paws, as if to say that their round bellies are empty and they should be fed food quickly.

Xiang Yang has been to several ocean theme parks. Basically, the sea lion pools in any ocean theme park are always packed with tourists. This shows how popular sea lions are among tourists.

Secondly!

Sea lions are really good eaters and are incredible big eaters.

The Ocean University once raised sea lions, and when Xiang Yang was studying and working part-time, he worked as a sea lion keeper for a while.

Every morning, Xiang Yang feeds each adult sea lion at least 20 kilograms of sardines.

Twenty kilograms of sardines, is that enough

An average family of three probably wouldn’t be able to finish it even in two days.

However, for sea lions, this amount of food is just a snack or breakfast.
