Chapter 609

The fire is all open. In the effort, dada, I hope you still have monthly tickets in your hands. Ha, encourage the diligent eggshell****

The suspended dormancy of abalone has become an important turning point in bilateral trading.

A scholar named Chris Cowen, who discovered this, found that these precious abalone suddenly stopped moving and immediately felt that things were wrong.

Unlike other shellfish, abalone is not a species whose living environment will not change once it is selected. They live a life of ambush in the day and out at night. When there is enough light during the day, they will hide quietly at home to conserve energy; When night comes, they go out to hunt.

In addition, Balzac arranged a good living environment for British Columbia spotted abalone. Their aquarium is seven or eight meters long and four or five meters wide. It is said that it was used to breed small sharks in the past, which can ensure that the activities of British Columbia spotted abalone are not limited.

British Columbia spotted abalone likes to grow and settle in rocky reefs with fast currents and lush algae and in rocky corners spitting out from the coast. In one corner of the big fish tank, there are some reefs with brown algae. This is the home of abalone.

In addition to going out at night, British Columbia spotted abalone also has a habit of homing. No matter how far they climb to catch food, when it is almost dawn, they will always slowly climb back to their "home" and will not stop outside.

The abalone in the aquarium slowly weakened their vitality, and their travel speed slowly became particularly slow. The food placed in it did not touch, and was scattered in the aquarium.

After the experts found the problem, they immediately rescued the abalone, but no matter how they studied it, they couldn't find the reason why these abalone went into sleep.

At this time, Balzac saw that the situation was bad, so he had to reuse the abalone and find Qin Shiou to negotiate again.

"If you want to get British Columbia spotted abalone, you must not only allow us to catch those colorful crayfish, but also help us catch leatherback turtles. Of course, we won't hurt leatherback turtles, and lobsters will try to keep their normal life. " Balzac said.

Qin Shiou timely asked, "why do you suddenly want to trade again? I think there must be something wrong. "

He was not worried about the gang's speculation that he had done something, because since he understood that he was interested in abalone, people were kept on duty 24 hours a day, and the abalone tank was locked into the captain's room. Qin Shiou had no chance to contact these abalone.

Balzac smiled and said, "no, no, no, we are just moved by your sincerity. We have inquired about you in the town these days. Mr. Qin, your love for the fishing ground is enough to make us believe that you really want to cultivate British Columbia spotted abalone, expand this species rather than eat it."

Qin Shiou secretly scolded intellectuals for their bad conscience. Were you moved by your sincerity? Then why wait until the abalone looks like it's dying?

But he didn't care. Now his goal was to get the abalone, so he settled with Balzac happily. He helped Kekao No. 2 catch leatherback turtles and lobsters, and gave him the immortal BC spotted abalone.

The experts also feel that they have taken advantage of it. The abalone moves very slowly, so it won't move after being fished out. It's impossible to tell whether it's dead or not.

With more than 50 British Columbia spotted abalone, Qin Shiou put it into the coral reef with a smile.

Of course, in order to reduce the experts' doubts about this matter, he also pretended to check the situation of these BC spotted abalone.

Qin Shiou checks the age of abalone, which is similar to trees. Generally, every year, abalone will leave a deep mark on its shell. This mark is called growth pattern, which is equivalent to the growth rings of trees.

Generally, whether the growth pattern is obvious or not is related to the living environment, season and the type of bait of abalone. In the season of rapid growth, the growth lines are obvious and the distance is wide; In the slow growing season, on the contrary, the growth lines are dense and close.

Qin Shiou looked. The largest of these abalones is the size of his palm. There are forty or fifty growth rings on the shell. They are the old longevity of this race. No wonder the experts refused to give them to him before, because they are really precious.

"OK, these abalone are all right." Qin Shiou nodded, and the experts said with a ha ha. Of course, it's no problem. They secretly laughed at Qin Shiou's layman. Seeing the vitality of British Columbia spotted abalone, they had to put it into pure sea water, otherwise they wouldn't move.

Qin Shiou also smiled secretly in his heart. After throwing the abalone into the water, he lifted the control of the Sea God consciousness over them and took the opportunity to input a lot of sea god energy. The British Columbia spotted abalone quickly became active and began to hunt as soon as they entered the coral reef.

The head of these abalone has a pair of slender antennae, the eyes grow at the base, and the mouth is on the ventral surface between the antennae. In addition, abalone has a big wrist with jaw pieces and tooth tongues. There are many tooth tongues, which are located on one tooth tongue belt. The whole tooth tongue belt looks like a file.

Abalone is to fish for food with toothed tongue, mainly zooplankton, red algae, green algae, laver, kelp, etc.

British Columbia spotted abalone has an interesting feature, that is, what they eat, their shells will grow a color similar to the food they eat. Therefore, the abalone's back shell is like a flower spot, because the color of the shell changes after they eat laver, kelp and red algae.

Coral reefs are rich in algae resources, so even before night, abalone are also out to hunt under the stimulation of Poseidon energy.

When they have enough to eat and drink, abalone will find a gap and settle down on the coral reef. In this way, as long as the surrounding environment does not change greatly, they will take this as their base camp to survive. No matter where they go at night, they will come back during the day.

The British Columbia spotted abalone meat was very fat. Their appearance quickly attracted the surrounding predators, and some fish and shrimp that ate shellfish rushed over.

Although abalone looks cute and stupid, in fact, they have good self-protection ability. As long as they stick their arms and feet to the reef, they can produce more than 200 kg of suction. It is impossible for big fish to eat them by suction.

The only thing that can affect the survival of British Columbia spotted abalone is fintail mantis shrimp. These guys are very good at smashing food shells. Abalone shells are not too hard to carry the critical blow of mantis shrimp.

Qin Shiou had to go out by himself to instill a sense into the mantis shrimp that they were not allowed to hunt on the coral reef.

In this way, mantis shrimp will subconsciously avoid coral reefs, do not enter this area, and follow the instructions of Poseidon consciousness.

Senior officials of Qin rely on chastity and integrity when wandering the Jianghu. Virginity has been taken away by Weini, and the rest is precious integrity.

Since he promised to help experts catch lobsters and leatherback turtles, that's what he did.

It's easy to catch lobsters. Find the sea area where lobsters live. If the water is shallow, he can plunge in and catch lobsters. If the water is deep, put the shrimp cage down and harvest in half a day.

The more difficult thing is to catch leatherback turtles.
