"This thing, a little bit of venom, is enough to kill the people on our ship!" Philemon said with a smile after rinsing the wooden board with sea water and putting it back in the cabin.

In fact, under the ocean, just like on land, there are poisonous creatures everywhere. Not only the known ones, such as sea snakes, jellyfish, and sea anemones are poisonous, but many fish are also poisonous, and some have poisonous flesh. , some eggs are poisonous, some fin spines are poisonous, some are poisonous to the internal organs, some are poisonous to the blood, and so on.

In China alone, there are more than a hundred species of fish with poisonous spines. In comparison, the Atlantic Ocean is slightly more peaceful than the Pacific Ocean.

There are many organisms that you don’t know are poisonous, but in fact they are poisonous.

Take catfish, for example. There are three thousand species of catfish in the world, but more than half of them are actually poisonous. Who would know if I didn’t tell you this

There are many poisonous fish left, not to mention river gizzards and thorn gizzards, which everyone needs to know. Others are like Zhanxing, Longteng, Du Fu, etc. These fish are all poisonous, so if you don’t know much about marine life, If so, going into the sea is really dangerous.

There are actually not too many shark attacks on people every year. Except for the tiger shark, a marine lunatic, few sharks add humans to their diet. More people die from shark attacks every year than from these marine poisons. The number of people killed was far greater than the lesser! So since he decided to go into the water, Jiang Hai listened very seriously.

After all, this is about his own life. Everyone knows that Jiang Hai has no special characteristics, except for one characteristic: cherishing his life.

While introducing the boat, they sailed. Unknowingly, the land in the distance was already vaguely visible. At this time, Edward also stopped the boat. Jiang Hai saw his actions and couldn't help being stunned. Before this, What’s the use of parking a boat in a place with no village or shop behind it

"Come on, let's sort it!" Ignoring Jiang Hai's doubts, Edward said to Philemon. After hearing Edward's words, Philemon immediately put on his clothes and gloves. Here Sorted.

Although the main goal of this trip is to check out the seafood resources nearby, some of the seafood in this tank are edible and some are not. You can't take them all back. If you can't eat them, just throw them away. When we return to the sea, only the edible ones are left. Of course, the dead ones must also be thrown away. They will not eat the stale ones.

After listening to the words of these two people, Jiang Hai muttered something about prodigality in his heart, but he also started sorting it out.

But his main target is those sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and crabs, by the way. These people don't eat the first two, so they can't really throw them away. For Jiang Hai, these things are all It's fun.

As for crabs, although Europeans and Americans eat them, it is really wasteful for them to eat crabs. Basically, they only eat crabs because the meat inside the legs is thick. As for the innards inside the crabs, they are not willing to eat them. They have to admit that these wasteful people Play should.

At the moment, Jiang Hai didn't say much. He went to the water tank and picked out crabs, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins. Seeing Jiang Hai's actions, Edward and Philemon here also laughed. They didn't know these things. something delicious.

Compared with the things Jiang Hai picked, they picked more fish, but they didn't pick fish to eat, but fish to throw away.

They don't eat all damselfish fish, and there's no way to eat them. There's no telling which fish is poisonous.

So all the clownfish, light gill fish, damselfly fish, blue damselfish, bright blue damselfish, etc., which are valuable fish in the domestic ornamental fish market, have been thrown away by them, and there are still some large ones. Fish smaller than fifteen centimeters were also thrown away by them, including the grouper. For them, there was no need to eat such small fish.

But for Jiang Hai, it was really a waste. After all, such a big fish is actually considered a commercial fish that can be sold in China.

But here in Europe and the United States, they are still fish fry, vomiting blood, and I don’t know when they will be able to eat grouper.

Fortunately, there are a lot of fish that are going to be thrown away, but there are still a lot of fish left in the tank. These fish are basically more than 20 centimeters, including cod, herring, and bonito that are often seen in Jiang Hai. , this kind of fish is actually a kind of tuna, but it is the least valuable one. There is also red snapper. This kind of fish is more common in offshore waters. It is more abundant in the Pacific Ocean and slightly less in the Atlantic Ocean. It is considered to be a member of the sea bass family. The taste is Not bad, there is also mullet, which is also known as mullet in China.

Generally speaking, there are three top ingredients in caviar, salmon roe, sturgeon roe, and mullet roe. The mullet refers to this kind of mullet. This kind of fish can be found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but it belongs to the temperate zone. Fish, if it weren't for the maritime climate here in Boston, which is not cold even in winter, these fish would probably have migrated south long ago.

When selecting these fish, they naturally threw away the unwanted fish. Their actions also attracted the attention of several birds in the sky. With the sound of birdsong, these birds also appeared from the sky. Fly straight down.

Going to pick up the small fish that Edward and Philemon threw away, Jiang Hai was shocked when he saw this scene.

"Aren't these birds afraid of people?" Jiang Hai said strangely, looking at the birds hovering above the boat.

"Of course I'm not afraid. No one will catch them here." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon also smiled and said.

"These seabirds are friends of our sailors. They can not only help us relieve our boredom, but the most important thing is that where there are seabirds, it means there is land, and the presence of land means there is fresh water and food. In this way, when we are at sea It can be guaranteed, so our relationship with seabirds is still very good." Seeing Jiang Hai's confused look, Edward also said with a smile, and then raised the height of the fish thrown in again, Throw it at these seabirds.

"And people in the United States have a lot of feelings for seabirds. I think you, boss, also know that our national bird is the bald eagle. We here have special feelings for seabirds. According to legend, in the middle of the world, European and American ladies like to put Haiou feathers on their hats, so Haiou was once on the verge of extinction. Later, women in Boston established an association to protect Haiou. Later, when developing San Diego in the west of Utah, there was a locust plague there. , Fortunately, the Haiou flew over and ate up all the locusts, allowing the first batch of immigrants to survive, so here, these little guys are all friends." After Edward finished speaking, Philemon He started talking hurriedly. It seemed that this guy really couldn't stop talking.

"Then what kind of seabirds are these, Haiou?" After listening to their introduction, Jiang Hai was also very interested. He picked up a small fish and threw it into the air. Soon, the small fish was picked up by a The seabird picked it up in mid-air and flew away quickly.

"No, this is a puffin. Haiou is bigger than them. There are some in the woods in our manor, but I haven't seen them for a while." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon introduced them.

"No, there are still a few of them. Look at those ones, the ones that are obviously bigger are Haiou. The scientific name seems to be Arctic Swallow." After Philemon finished speaking, Edward chuckled. , pointed at the larger ones among the group of seabirds, and said to Jiang Hai with a smile. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai also looked over. Sure enough, there were a few birds over there that were bigger than the birds next to them. Bigger guy.

These guys are much more domineering than puffins. When there is fish, they will rush to grab it as soon as possible. If they don't grab it, they will start grabbing the fish in the mouths of other puffins, just like robbers. look like.

But in nature, the weak eat the strong. Let alone snatching a piece of your meat, even if it eats you, you have to endure it. This is the law of nature.

Jiang Hai is not a good man, and he is not willing to drive away these Haiou, but only increases the intensity of throwing fish.

For a moment, feeding these guys was really interesting. When Edward saw Jiang Hai's movements, he also deliberately slowed down his movements. Since Jiang Hai was willing to play, he should leave more for the boss. .

"Chirp..." But just when Jiang Hai was having fun, suddenly a soft chirping sound came from the distant sky. With this chirping sound, the seabirds who were originally surrounding the boat , flew away with a roar in an instant, and the birds and beasts dispersed in an instant.

After the birds flew away, Jiang Hai saw two small black dots high in the sky, chasing each other one after another.

With his eyesight, he could only see two birds, but it was not clear which birds they were.

"It seems to be an albatross and a sea eagle." Philemon, who was next to him at this time, took out his telescope and took a look, and said with some doubts. However, when he said this, he didn't feel confident, because Albatross is a bird from the south. He used to see it often when he was boating in California. However, it is not common here in the North District, especially Boston. Even if it can be seen, it is only in the summer, and now it is winter. , these birds must have gone south to spend the winter long ago.

After all, he is not a qualified fisherman, so he can only be sure that the bird in the back is a sea eagle, but the one in the front is not clear.

"It's an albatross. Except for this kind of bird, no other bird has a wingspan that is much larger than a sea eagle. It seems that this bird must have something to do, so it didn't go south to spend the winter." Compared with Philemon, with the ocean Edward, who had been dealing with each other for most of his life, knew better. He glanced over and said with certainty. As the three of them watched, two birds pierced the sky like two sharp arrows. Disappeared into the distance. Now that the bird had disappeared, the three of them turned their attention back.

Since there are no seabirds to feed here, they are too lazy to throw them away one by one. After all, it is getting late now, and nearly one-third of the sun has set on the sea level. They have no time to waste any more time. Jiang Hai and Philemon directly lifted the tank with the unwanted fish next to it and poured it into the sea. At this time, a dorsal fin also stood up.

It’s Thursday, I don’t know if there will be any recommendations for next week. This week’s recommendations are really a bit poor... Of course, this also has something to do with Xiao Fei. I won’t go into details. I hope the editor can give me better recommendations! Today’s updates will be delivered continuously!
