Of course, both the black-footed albatross and the wandering albatross are listed as endangered species by the World Conservation Union.
Currently, all surviving albatross species in the world are extremely precious.
"Xiang Yang." Just then, Xiang Yang's intercom rang, and Gao Chuang's voice came from the intercom.
Xiang Yang then withdrew his gaze from the albatross, picked up the intercom and said, "Mr. Gao, I'm here."
"Do you have any extra diving suits on your ship?" Gao Chuang went straight to the point.
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "Boss Gao, do you want your crew to go underwater to catch green-lipped abalone? I don't think it's a good time to catch green-lipped abalone now."
"What do you mean?" Gao Chuang asked.
Xiang Yang said truthfully: "I just found a group of hammerhead sharks under this area of water. Now my crew and I have come to the surface of the water."
"What? Hammerhead shark?"
Gao Chuang was shocked by Xiang Yang's words, "You and your crew are not injured, right?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gao. We are very lucky that the group of hammerhead sharks we encountered did not attack us." Xiang Yang replied.
"Well, I'm glad you're not hurt."
"It's a shame that we can't catch the green-lipped abalone down there."
"There's nothing to regret. Greenlip abalone can be caught at any time. Being attacked by a hammerhead shark is no joke. It's a real man-eating shark." Gao Chuang said seriously.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gao. I can still tell the difference between what is important and what is not."
After the conversation ended, Xiang Yang smiled and said to Chen Qingsheng beside him: "Boss Gao must have also set his sights on those green-lipped abalone on the seabed and wants to borrow diving equipment from me."
"We don't even have enough diving equipment for ourselves, so how can we have any extra to lend to them?" Fang Youqun immediately glared.
Xiang Yang smiled and asked, "Are you using it now?"
Fang Youqun immediately stopped talking.
"Hehe, Boss Gao borrowed the money at a really bad time. It just happened to coincide with the appearance of a hammerhead shark on the seabed." Chen Qingsheng teased.
"Okay, try to say less words that are detrimental to unity. After all, it was Boss Gao who led us out this time." Xiang Yang waved his hand.
Xiang Yang laughed as he spoke. "However, Boss Gao did borrow the equipment at the wrong time. If there had been no hammerhead shark incident, it would have been hard for me to refuse him if he had come to borrow the diving equipment from me."
"Well, now that we can't dive, let's go fishing." Chen Qingsheng said.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Okay, then for the rest of the time, until the fleet sets sail again, you can arrange everything as you please."
"Alas, we can't go into the water, so let's just go fishing. Watch me catch those damn hammerhead sharks." Fang Youqun said viciously.
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes when he heard this. If Fang Youqun's fishing rod could really withstand the force of the hammerhead shark, then Xiang Yang believed that it would definitely be Fang Youqun who was pulled into the water by the hammerhead shark, rather than the hammerhead shark being caught by Fang Youqun.
Of course, the prerequisite is that there is really a hammerhead shark taking the bait.
None of the crew members on Xiang Yang's ship like sea fishing very much.
The main reason is, of course, that fishing boats rarely stop, making sport fishing too difficult.
Now that fishing boats are anchored on the sea, fishing is naturally less difficult.
In addition, it was really boring on the deck, so many crew members took out their fishing rods and prepared to kill time by fishing.
Xiang Yang himself did not fish, but he watched others fishing with great interest.
Seeing Fang Youqun taking out a large bundle of fishing line, Xiang Yang found it a little funny. "Fang Youqun, are you really planning to catch sharks with such a long fishing line?"
Fang Youqun patted his fishing rod proudly and said, "This is the fishing line and rod I use specifically for fishing sharks."
Xiang Yang was not surprised when he heard this.
Ever since the release of the movie "The Meg", countless anglers are no longer satisfied with ordinary sea fishing, and many veteran fishing enthusiasts have begun to target sharks.
There is a guy named Muggeridge from Australia who is very keen on shark fishing.
Xiang Yang once saw the video of the Australian guy fishing for sharks on the Internet.
The Australian guy will first use the fish head or the whole fish as bait, use a rubber boat to drop it 100 meters away from the sea, and then wait quietly for the shark to take the bait.
Initially, when shark fishing first became a sport, it required a very strong fishing rig, with special steel hooks and nylon ropes as the hooks and lines.
Nylon line generally uses more than 300 pounds of fishing line, which is equivalent to a tensile force of about 270 pounds.
Sometimes, in order to prevent the line from being cut, a steel wire is needed as the leading line to prevent the fishing line from being cut by the sharkâs sharp teeth after the fish is caught.
But with the rise of this sport, businesses saw the market and invented a fiber fishing line. At first glance, this fishing line looks no different from ordinary fishing line, but it is actually very strong and can withstand hundreds of kilograms of tension.
At this moment, the bundle of fishing line that Fang Youqun was holding was exactly this kind of fishing line.
But even if the equipment was up to standard, Xiang Yang didn't believe Fang Youqun could catch a shark.
Because shark fishing requires one person to flip the shark over by himself, the fisherman must have very strong physical fitness. Fang Youqun obviously does not have such skills or physical fitness.
Xiang Yang had seen a video of someone fishing for sharks on the Internet. In the video, the fisherman caught a small tiger shark about two meters long. It took the fisherman more than three hours to pull the tiger shark to the shallow water area of the beach, and then he pulled the tiger shark ashore with his bare hands.
Many people may not understand why anyone would take up shark fishing as a hobby.
The terrifying power of sharks often tortures shark fishing enthusiasts to exhaustion.
It is extremely dangerous to subdue a tiger shark with bare hands. Many shark fishing enthusiasts have bruises on their hands and bodies caused by sharks.
But many shark fishing enthusiasts said that they just like this crazy way of fishing, just like some people like free climbing and some people like parkour.
Many shark fishing enthusiasts said that sharks have suffered a lot after being dragged ashore, so they will quickly take photos and measure the size of the sharks after catching them, and then release the sharks. They will not actually kill the sharks.
In the waters east of Australia, there are terrifying numbers of sharks lurking.
The east coast of Australia, where few people dare to swim, has become the best shark fishing ground in the world after the rise of shark fishing.
Every year, countless shark fishing enthusiasts from all over the world go to the east coast of Australia. They are keen on the crazy and exciting feeling after a shark is hooked, but they do not actually kill sharks.
The vast majority of shark fishing enthusiasts will eventually choose to release the sharks they catch.
