Gao Chuang secretly said what a pity. Each of the three-headed abalone weighs more than 300 grams. It can be said to be a three-headed abalone, or a double-headed abalone.
In fact, among these three abalones, the one Gao Chuang values most is the one for which he is willing to pay 50,000 yuan.
"Okay, I'll have someone transfer 80,000 yuan to your card later. As for the last one, if you want to sell it anytime, just send someone to deliver it to my ship." Although Gao Chuang felt sorry, he had no intention of bargaining with Xiang Yang and spoke directly.
After the transaction was completed, Gao Chuang became interested in the origins of these green-lipped abalone.
Gao Chuang smiled and said, "Xiang Yang, these three green-lipped abalones should not have been on your boat before, right? Did you catch them from the bottom of this water?"
Xiang Yang knew that Gao Chuang must be interested in the green-lipped abalone. After all, it was a very valuable seafood. One or two were just insignificant to Gao Chuang, but if there were a hundred or a thousand, it would be a considerable income even for Gao Chuang.
Not to mention, there is a chance that you may be able to catch a single abalone.
"Yes, that's right. We fished it out from under this sea area. But it's not easy to fish it out. Under this sea area is a series of undulating underwater mountains, and the deepest part is unfathomable." Xiang Yang answered truthfully.
"Your luck is as good as ever." Gao Chuang smiled and patted Xiang Yang's shoulder.
"I'll ask my people to go down and look for it later. I won't take advantage of you. When we get back, I'll give you a nautical chart with several sea areas marked with rare seafood." Gao Chuang said.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Boss Gao, you are too polite. Even if I didn't tell you, we are going to stay on the sea for so long, your people will find us sooner or later."
"Let's put one thing at a time." Gao Chuang shook his head.
Seeing Gao Chuang's insistence, Xiang Yang hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "Okay, then I would like to thank you, Mr. Gao."
After Gao Chuang left, Chen Qingsheng came over and said excitedly, "Captain, we got a sea chart for free. We made a lot of money this time."
"Bai?" Xiang Yang asked back.
"Isn't it? There are so many abalone in this sea area that we can't possibly catch them all, and we don't even know when we'll be able to come here next time." Chen Qingsheng continued excitedly.
Xiang Yang shook his head. "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take a break and recover our strength. It would be best if we can have some high-energy food. We will go to the bottom of the sea to fish again later."
Chen Qingsheng nodded quickly. He had just tasted the sweetness underwater and now he felt like he was being scratched by a cat. Moreover, Chen Qingsheng felt that so much time had passed since he turned over the big rock on the seabed. The abalone that were stuck to the rock because of fear should have relaxed their vigilance again.
Soon, Xiang Yang and others went down to the bottom of the sea again.
This time, Xiang Yang drilled straight into the deep sea. He was very interested in the plants that existed in the Antarctic deep sea, especially ice algae.
As far as Xiang Yang knows, Antarctic ice algae are some algae plants that grow in the fixed ice areas and floating ice areas of the Antarctic Waters and can be used as a cold dish.
The salad made from Antarctic ice algae has a fresh, crisp taste and unique flavor.
Because Antarctic ice algae absorbs cold air all year round, the seaweed essence contained in Antarctic ice algae is far higher than that of ordinary algae, making it a pure natural seaweed food.
Xiang Yang swam among the lush seaweed and found that the ice algae under the sea were mostly light yellow or yellowish brown.
Antarctic ice algae refers to all large types of microscopic algae that grow in the sea ice in the extreme environment of Antarctica. What Xiang Yang saw before his eyes was exactly Antarctic ice algae.
Antarctic ice baths are an indispensable and important link in the Antarctic ecological chain.
In the past, the tiny Antarctic ice algae were ignored by humans.
Whenever an icebreaker bravely advances in the Antarctic icy sea, one can always see ice more than one meter thick being turned up on both sides of the ship, floating on the water in all directions.
If someone looks closely at the thick ice, they can see light brown and brown layers on the bottom layer and cross-section.
Initially, humans thought that the unique color of these ice blocks was sand mixed in the sea ice and did not pay much attention to it.
Later, after identification by biologists, it was discovered that this was microscopic algae growing in sea ice, namely ice algae.
Ice algae settle under the sea ice and use the unique natural conditions of the sea ice to grow and reproduce.
Like all plants, ice algae rely on sunlight for photosynthesis to produce organic matter, which is stored in cells to support itself and other organisms. The charm of ice algae is amazing. Wherever ice algae grows under the sea ice, low-end zooplankton such as copepods and amphipods can be found gathering together.
Of course, there are also greedy fish and krill.
Larger animals, such as penguins and seals, will also have enough food, and a huge food chain will be formed in the floating ice area.
Ice algae provide essential nutrients for Antarctic organisms and support the entire Antarctic food chain.
Without ice algae, Antarctica would be lonely and cold.
Since Antarctica is a high-latitude and cold area, its geographical location and climatic conditions determine the types and distribution characteristics of ice algae.
The floating microalgae in the Antarctic waters include not only algae unique to Antarctica, but also certain algae species from other waters in the world. These algae species survive and multiply because they have adapted to the harsh polar environment.
Biologists have analyzed and identified the ice algae near Davis Station in Antarctica.
Through research, biologists have discovered a total of 82 species of ice algae from three phyla.
Among them, there are 76 species of diatoms, accounting for more than 90% of the total.
There are five species of dinoflagellates and one species of golden algae.
Among the seventy-six diatom species, species of the Pennate Bacillariophyceae were dominant.
Among them, Kruskaloids, marine brittle algae, long rhombus algae, nearly shallow brittle algae, medium-threatened ovate algae, and weak rhombus algae are species that appear every month.
Xiang Yang knew that Antarctic ice algae not only played an important role in the Antarctic ecosystem, but also had broad prospects in basic research and development.
Due to the unique geographical and climatic characteristics of Antarctica, a severely cold and radiation-resistant environment has been formed. The ice algae living in it must have special physiological adaptations to this unique environment so that they can survive and reproduce.
It is precisely because of the special physiological characteristics of ice algae that it is bound to become a good experimental material for studying low-temperature biology.
In addition, ice algae are also a potential source of new active substances.
Scientists believe that the rational development of Antarctic low-temperature algae resources can not only enrich my country's existing microbial resources in terms of application.
If valuable physiologically active substances and products can be developed from ice algae, it can provide new research materials and new ideas for basic research.
