Xiang Yang was stunned.
Guarding food and hunting are both part of animal nature. Even pet dogs that have been domesticated by humans for countless generations have the habit of guarding food. Similarly, cats that have been domesticated by humans for countless generations will sometimes catch fish and mice by themselves. These are part of animal nature.
Now, when a shark that has never been domesticated sees its favorite food, its first reaction is not to eat the food, but to turn around and run away
This is unscientific.
It is not in accordance with the laws of nature.
However, the swimming crab that was caught by Xiang Yang and then thrown out, after standing firmly on the seabed, immediately raised its body, waving its two large claws, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Xiang Yang ignored the swimming crab. He pushed his hands to the sides, pushed away the seaweed in front of him, and then swam quickly forward.
As a result, Xiang Yang searched for a long time in the seaweed but could not find the big-tailed tiger shark.
What the big-tailed tiger shark is best at is not running away, but hiding. The seaweed here is so dense that it can just find a place to hide and then lie motionless on the seabed. Xiang Yang can't do anything about it.
After all, Xiang Yang has good eyesight at the bottom of the sea and can ignore the darkness, but he is not transparent and can ignore obstacles.
Xiang Yang had no choice but to give up.
"If we can bring it back to Qinglongwan, it will definitely attract more tourists to Qinglongwan." Xiang Yang shook his head helplessly.
Once slightly domesticated, the tiger shark can get along well with humans. It is particularly clingy and will often interact with tourists.
In the Star City Underwater World, there is a semi-open tiger shark hall. Under the guidance of the staff, the lucky children selected by lottery can go to the pool to play.
Whenever a child goes into the pool, a group of tiger sharks trained by the staff will immediately swim over. They will circle around the children, have intimate contact with them, and some will even perform cute shows.
Of course, if the staff don’t compensate them with their favorite little fish afterwards, they will get angry and slap the water with their tails to show their anger.
Xiang Yang circled around the bottom of the sea again, making sure that the big-tailed tiger shark would not easily appear again, then turned around and swam in the direction he came from.
Swim quickly along the same path you came from.
Soon, Xiang Yang saw the two yachts with large searchlights on the sea.
There were dense schools of fish surrounding the two yachts. Xiang Yang also saw several ferocious marine predators that could bite people. Frightened, Xiang Yang sped up and swam to the side of the boat ladder in a flash.
Without disturbing anyone, Xiang Yang quietly returned to the boat, put the diving suit back into the cabin, and returned to his own room.
As for why there are so many fish around the yacht
Xiang Yang didn't care. There were two such large yachts, both with searchlights on. Many fish were attracted to light, which seemed normal to Xiang Yang.
The next morning, Xiang Yang was still asleep when he was awakened by a loud noise.
I got up, put on my clothes, and looked on the deck. It turned out that someone had caught a bunch of eels, and Xu Fang was leading people to clean them up on the deck.
Xiang Yang looked at the time in confusion, "Master Xu, what time did you get up? How did you get so many eels?"
"captain."
Xu Fang greeted Xiang Yang first, then chuckled and said, "We got up less than ten minutes before you."
Xiang Yang was even more puzzled when he heard this. He looked around curiously and said, "You brought the fishing nets aboard the yacht? The eel resources in this sea area are so abundant? You caught hundreds of eels in less than ten minutes?"
What a talent!
Don't forget to bring your fishing net when you go out to play.
He is indeed an old fisherman.
Xiang Yang was crazily giving thumbs up to Xu Fang and others in his heart.
"Nothing." Xu Fang wiped his hands on the corners of his clothes to dry the water on his hands, "I caught these eels the night before."
"Did you fish last night?" Xiang Yang was shocked. Last night, Xiang Yang did not see Xu Kao on the deck.
Xu Fang lit a cigarette for himself, then handed the cigarette box to a crew member beside him, "Distribute it to everyone."
He exhaled a puff of smoke, and then explained to Xiang Yang: "It's like this. Last night I went to the deck to smoke, and suddenly I smelled a strong fishy smell. I looked and found that it was the guys in the cruise ship's kitchen who were dumping our leftover food and animal organs. I thought, aren't eels' favorites to eat animal organs? So I asked for those organs, made a few simple eel fishing devices, and hung them on both sides of the cruise ship. Here, look, this is what I caught tonight."
Xiang Yang glanced at the deck and saw hundreds of eels piled up in a small pile.
"You are a talent!" Xiang Yang praised sincerely, "Eels are slippery and cannot be caught by ordinary fishing nets. In addition, they like to hide in the deep sea, so hooks are not effective. Therefore, the price of eels is high. Your income in one night is more than your monthly income on my boat."
Wild eels only spawn in the deep ocean.
Plus, its way of eating is extremely special.
Its body is as slippery as a snake.
The number of wild eels on the market has always been small.
Xiang Yang rarely caught eels before.
"I'm lucky. I didn't expect there would be so many eels in this sea area. This should be related to the number of scallops on the seabed. I wouldn't be so lucky in other places." Xu Fang had a smile on his face, and was obviously a little proud, but he still spoke very modestly.
Xiang Yang quickly asked, "Master Xu, how did you catch these eels?"
Xu Fang handed Xiang Yang a plastic bucket, "Here, this is it."
Xiang Yang stared, "That's it?"
"Captain, take a close look at the difference between this barrel and other barrels." Xu Fang said with a smile.
Xiang Yang quickly looked at it carefully.
Soon, Xiang Yang discovered that the top of the barrel was divided into a mesh shape by wire, and the size of each mesh was not much bigger than a finger.
Then in the middle of the barrel, there is another circle of the same wire mesh, and almost at the bottom of the barrel, there is another circle.
"To fish for eels, you need to use this kind of prop that the eels can get in but can't get out. Put some animal viscera in the bucket and the eels will come over when they smell it. Other fish can't get in. If the eel gets in, it can't get out. Don't be fooled by its slippery appearance. It can't swim backwards and it can't bend its body like a cutlassfish. Captain, if you want to fish, you just need to prepare a bucket, divide the bucket into three layers and separate them with a tool with holes, then put some pork liver at the bottom of the bucket, and finally put a stone in the bucket so that the bucket can sink to the bottom of the sea." Xu Fang said.
"Is it that simple?" Xiang Yang asked.
"It's that simple." Xu Fang pointed to the small pile of fish on his nail plate, meaning, look, this is what I caught tonight.
