"But this is deep sea, not very suitable for diving, right?" Chen Qingsheng asked the last question in his mind.
Although the diving equipment Xiang Yang provided to the crew was very advanced, ordinary people still could not resist the tremendous pressure on the seabed in the deep sea. Moreover, the light in the deep sea was insufficient, which could easily make people feel fear. If the lights were turned on, it would easily attract ferocious seabed predators.
Xiang Yang hesitated for a moment.
Indeed, Chen Qingsheng is right.
"But it's not a solution to keep sailing on the boat. This kind of scenery where the sea and the sky are always the same color can easily cause visual and psychological fatigue to people. Let's stop and rest for a while. Those who are willing to go into the water can do so freely. I won't give out bonuses this time, but you can get half of what you catch after it is converted into money." Xiang Yang said.
As soon as Xiang Yang said this.
The eyes of the people around him immediately lit up.
Even Chen Qingsheng was eager to try it.
When fishing on the seabed, the most money they made was not from the bonus Xiang Yang was willing to offer them, but from the fact that Xiang Yang only took half of what they caught.
Such opportunities are extremely rare.
Everyone on the boat had been in the water many times, but not everyone had enjoyed this kind of treatment very often.
After all, the boat belongs to Xiang Yang, the diving equipment also belongs to Xiang Yang, and Xiang Yang has paid the crew members' salaries. It is a bit unreasonable for them to do their job within the working hours and still get such a high commission.
"Captain, is this true?" someone asked uncertainly.
"When have I ever lied?" Xiang Yang smiled. "In the previous ship collision incident, everyone behaved very well. You did a good job, so consider it a reward. I have decided that half of what we fish out this morning will belong to me, and the other half will belong to you. Of course, the water here is quite deep, so those of you who are willing to go down can go down, and those who are not willing can stay on the boat. It will be considered as a half-day holiday for you."
The crew immediately cheered, "Long live the captain!"
Soon, the crew on the ship split into three groups.
Some of them put on divers' gear and jumped into the water like dumplings.
Some of them went back to the cabin to take a nap.
The last group took out their fishing rods, sat around the stern of the boat and started fishing.
There are very few opportunities for fishing boats to stop and rest in the deep sea. Many fishing enthusiasts would rather give up the opportunity to dive and try their luck.
Xiang Yang leaned on the side of the boat with both hands and looked at the happy crew with a smile.
Sudden.
Xiang Yang saw a strange big bird, whose wingspan was even smaller than that of a Steller's sea eagle.
"It's actually the frigatebird, a second-class protected animal." Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes. It was incredible that such a bird could fly to such a distant sea area.
Although frigatebirds have large wings, their bodies are also very heavy. They usually fly by gliding and cannot even fly from where they are.
As we all know, although Gunkanjima are seabirds, they are extremely afraid of sea water. If half of their wings are wet with sea water, their already bulky bodies will become even heavier, and they will fall into the sea and drown if they are not careful.
However, the frigate bird was now hovering at an altitude of ten thousand meters, so it was obviously not easy for it to fall down.
Xiang Yang turned around and looked at Xu Fang who was standing next to him, "Master Xu, please take a look at the nautical chart of this sea area to see if there are any islands nearby."
Xu Fang nodded. "Captain, how did you know that? Yes, there are indeed many islands and reefs near this sea area. Most of them are coral islands, and the largest one is several miles in radius."
"Really?" Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head. "It's not hard to guess. Although the frigatebird has strong flying ability, it is not able to fly from such a far distance from the shore. So the only explanation is that there is an island nearby."
Xiang Yang put on his own diving suit and said, "Master Chen has already gone down, Master Xu, why don't you go down and have some fun?"
Xu Fang shook his head. "The sea here is too deep. I'm old and my body can't handle it as well as it did when I was young. So I won't go down with you, Captain."
Xiang Yang nodded. Xu Fang's salary was not low, enough to support himself. He was indeed not very interested in extra income outside of his essential work.
Xiang Yang went into the sea and headed straight for a coral reef covered with brain corals.
He was quite interested in these brain corals.
Suddenly, Xiang Yang's eyelids twitched.
A gray-black strange fish with a dark body suddenly jumped out from behind a gray-black coral reef. This strange fish had a dark body and a mouthful of sharp teeth. It swam very fast and opened its bloody mouth to bite Xiang Yang directly.
Xiang Yang shook his body and avoided the attack of the strange fish.
When the strange fish saw that the sneak attack didn't work, it immediately fled away without looking back.
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "Salmon?"
Salmon is a ferocious carnivorous fish of the family Salmonidae and the genus Pacific salmon.
It is a cold-water anadromous fish that spawns in rivers. The young fish live in the ocean for 3-5 years, usually mature at 4 years old, and then return to rivers to spawn. It is widely distributed in the Bering Sea, the North Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, and coastal rivers.
This kind of fish is very famous. Xiang Yang has never eaten this fish, but he is very familiar with its name.
It is said that there is a historical story behind the origin of the name of salmon.
Legend has it that salmon is delicious and makes people feel refreshed and energized after eating it. Not only do humans like to eat this big fish, even hungry war horses like to eat salmon.
It is said that Nurhaci was once surrounded by enemies and his army was out of ammunition and food. It was this big fish that solved the problem of food supply for Nurhaci's army. Soon they broke through the siege of the enemy and won a complete victory in the battle. Since then, people have called this fish, which even horses like to eat, "Salmon".
This legend may not be groundless.
Because salmon is known as the "King of the Ice Sea" in the international food industry, studies have shown that salmon has delicious meat, rich nutrition, and is rich in bioactive substances such as EPA and DHA.
At the same time, salmon, also known as salmon and salmon, is mainly distributed in the waters where the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans meet. It is a cold-water, highly migratory fish.
Of course, we also have salmon in our country, and there is more than one kind.
At present, there are three main types of salmon distributed in my country, common salmon, masu salmon and humpback salmon.
Among them, the most precious is the Masu salmon.
The meat of Masu salmon is delicate, red, delicious, and extremely rich in fat. It has a very high nutritional value. Its eggs are crystal clear and like pearls. They are rich in phosphate, calcium, and vitamins A and D. They are recognized by the gourmet world as a delicacy for banquets.
