My Deep Sea Fishery

Chapter 949: 943 Oriental Emerald Sea Hare

That white frost-like thing formed a thick layer on the seabed.

When you step on it, it will make a crisp sound and leave a very obvious footprint that looks like real snow.

Xiang Yang strolled along the seabed, carefully bypassing conches and shells, large and small.

These creatures, which are scattered throughout the ocean, are not valuable, but they are the main food source for many crustaceans and small fish. Although Xiang Yang will not catch them to sell them, he will not just step on these little ocean elves to death.

Sudden.

Xiang Yang stopped.

He saw a large forest of seaweed on the seabed not far ahead.

The roots of these seaweeds grow on the seabed, and then their bodies grow toward the sea surface, gathering into clumps and clusters, which are very lush.

"Finally, it's not all white anymore." Xiang Yang muttered to himself, then he swam faster and instantly reached the seaweed forest.

If an ordinary diver encountered such lush seaweed, he would be scared and walk around it.

Seaweed is not only long but also very tough. If a diver gets entangled in it, it is impossible to pull him off. The more he struggles, the tighter the entanglement becomes.

In fact, let alone people.

Even a submarine would sink if it was entangled by these lush seaweeds.

There have been precedents in history of kelp entangled in submarines.

But Xiang Yang was obviously not an ordinary diver. He dived into the seaweed without any burden.

To be honest, deep down, Xiang Yang was actually quite looking forward to visiting this seaweed forest.

The lush seaweed provides food for a large number of marine life. In addition, the entanglement of seaweed prevents fishing boats from trawling in such waters. In addition, ordinary divers dare not dive and fish in these waters where lush seaweed grows.

So basically, in every patch of seaweed, there are a lot of marine life.

Moreover, these marine organisms are rarely affected by human activities.

Xiang Yang was looking forward to finding a few more valuable catches in this patch of seaweed.

"Huh?" Xiang Yang suddenly exclaimed, "What is this?"

Xiang Yang found a very small and beautiful creature on a green seaweed that was more than 20 meters long.

This thing looks a bit like a nudibranch. It is very small, only about two centimeters, and has no shell. It looks very much like a leaf, and its surface is bright green like emerald green, blending perfectly with the seaweed where it hides.

If Xiang Yang's vision at the bottom of the sea had not been exceptionally sharp, he might not have been able to spot this little guy when he swam over just now.

Xiang Yang stared at this little creature that was only two centimeters long for more than ten seconds, and a thought popped into his head, "Could this thing be an Eastern Emerald Sea Hare?"

Unlike the Crystal Jelly Cute Sea Hare, the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare is a gastropod mollusk with a wide distribution area, from the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean to the coast of Florida, and can be found in almost all major oceans around the world.

Although the appearance of the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare is as charming as that of the Crystal Jelly Sea Hare, in terms of ornamental value, the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare is much cheaper than the Crystal Jelly Sea Hare.

This is mainly because the Oriental Emerald Sea Slug is too difficult to raise. The difficulty of raising it is tantamount to raising an old man. It has no value for breeding and viewing at all.

This Oriental Emerald Sea Slug has two pseudopodia on its body. When Xiang Yang saw it for the first time, he almost mistook them for a pair of wings.

These two pairs of pseudopodia that look very much like wings make the body of this Oriental Emerald Sea Hare appear wide, making it look very beautiful.

Xiang Yang tried to fold up the pair of pseudopodia of this Oriental Emerald Sea Hare with his hands.

Suddenly, the appearance of this Oriental Emerald Sea Slug plummeted. It looked like a bubbling green slug, as ugly as it could be.

Xiang Yang used two fingers to twist the pseudopodia of the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare and lifted it up from the seaweed belt on which it was parasitic.

Without pseudopodia to widen its body, the Oriental Emerald Sea Slug has a slender body and two tentacles on its head. The more Xiang Yang looked at it, the more he felt that this creature looked like a snail without a shell. It was so ugly.

So Xiang Yang put it back on the seaweed strip.

Suddenly, the pseudopodia of this Oriental Emerald Sea Slug spread out, just like a butterfly spreading its wings, and it instantly became beautiful.

Xiang Yang discovered that the pseudopodia of this Oriental Emerald Sea Slug were a bit like solar panels, flat and made this slug-like Oriental Emerald Sea Slug suddenly turn into a green leaf that looked like it was carved from jade.

The sad blood vessels of this Oriental Emerald Sea Hare are clearly visible, and look like the veins of a leaf.

Xiang Yang scratched his head through the breathing helmet. It is said that the Oriental Emerald Sea Slug is really a half-plant, half-animal creature. Its pair of pseudopodia that look like solar panels are said to be able to carry out photosynthesis. If an Oriental Emerald Sea Slug does not get sunlight for a long time, its pair of pseudopodia will even wither, turn from green to brown, and finally turn yellow, and then die.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Oriental Emerald Sea Slug, which has an appearance that can make a living with its good looks, is not suitable as an ornamental fish.

Raising fish is not like raising cats and dogs. You can't let them bask in the sun whenever you want.

At least up to now, Xiang Yang has never seen any marine aquarium owner who would move the marine aquarium to the yard from time to time to let the fish bask in the sun.

After pondering for a moment, Xiang Yang decided to catch the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare and bring it on board.

Regardless, the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare is still very rare.

Many people go to the tidal wave area of the Atlantic Ocean and go diving just to get a glimpse of this strange mollusk.

Of course, even if you go to the tidal wave area where the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare lives, it is not an easy task to catch a glimpse of its beauty.

Because the color and shape of the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare are like a leaf, finding it in the vast ocean is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

In the animal kingdom, the beautiful Oriental Emerald Sea Hare is very unique. It contains many chloroplasts inside its body.

The color of a newly born Oriental Emerald Sea Hare is not green, but translucent brown with some red spots on its body.

As the Oriental Emerald Sea Hare grows, it will eat a large amount of green algae, and gradually, its color will turn green and remain this color until it dies.

Of course, the main reason why Xiang Yang decided to bring this Oriental Emerald Sea Hare on board was that he felt he had the ability to feed it.
