Chapter 1451

Although emperor crabs are called crabs, according to scientific classification, they do not belong to this kind of crabs. They can only be said to be crustaceans - real crabs have four pairs of feet and a pair of crab pliers, and the joint of foot joints is bent forward, while emperor crabs have only three pairs of feet and a pair of crab pliers, and their feet are bent backward.

As like as two peas, crab claws, and limbs, they are all like crabs. Why should they be classified?

This kind of crustacean has beautiful taste, high meat yield and large size. It has always been known as the king of crabs. It is an important economic seafood.

Qin Shiou found a large number of emperor crabs: they can be found everywhere in the deep sea 100 kilometers west of ATU island. The number is amazing.

This also surprised senior officials of Qin. The price of emperor crab is one of the most expensive crabs, which is more precious than the treasure crab he specially bought from the North Pacific. Moreover, this thing is large and can be recovered by catching a few in a net.

Therefore, no matter in Alaska or Greenland, as long as fishermen find them, they will kill them. I don't know why there are so many stocks here.

In this way, the thoughts of senior officials of Qin became active. Emperor crab was attractive to all fishermen.

In fact, at the beginning, he also wanted to cultivate emperor crabs. Unfortunately, this kind of crabs is too fierce and the breeding speed is amazing. Each female crab can produce nearly 10000 surviving crabs every year. Once introduced into Daqin fishing ground, it will cause an ecological disaster. Lobster, tongue sole, treasure crab and elephant clam are waiting to make food!

The most obvious example is now the South Pole.

Decades ago, I didn't know whether it was the Soviet oceanographers or the oceanographers from Norway and the United States. They brought a batch of samples of Alaskan king crabs to the South Pole. As a result, these crabs escaped from artificial breeding and drilled into the cold water of the South Pole.

Then, during the recent Antarctic expedition, the French scientific research team was stunned to find a large number of king crabs living under the Antarctic continental shelf. After joint detailed investigation by various countries, it was found that there were millions of them!

If the discovery is in the waters of Alaska, American fishermen will be crazy. The result is in Antarctica!

This is terrible. Multinational scientific research teams have predicted that the Antarctic sea area will suffer an ecological catastrophe in the next ten to twenty years.

What's worse, the United Nations stipulates that no country is allowed to fish in Antarctica, so these emperor crabs have neither natural enemies nor human enemies in Antarctica.

Those king crabs in Antarctica are called Alaskan king crab, also known as Golden King Crab. Their ancestors came from Alaska. These king crabs in Greenland waters are called red king crabs. Both sides are equally precious.

King crab is an ice water creature, which is a rare species that can survive in the extreme environment of the north and south poles, and the catches produced in this environment are delicious, nutritious and pollution-free.

Later, with the progress of Poseidon consciousness around, he gradually understood the reason why there were so many emperor crabs in this sea area.

It's interesting. The seabed environment around a large area of sea is very complex. As we all know, Emperor crabs live in deep-sea waters, and there are generally no reefs in deep-sea waters, so large ships can catch them at will.

But this sea area is different. It has a circle of continuous reefs. It is estimated that this is the reason why the fishermen in Greenland did not kill all the king crabs here.

Guided by the Sea God consciousness, the melon princess can naturally enter and leave this sea area at will.

Qin Shiou went to find the sea monster and Sark and told them that there was red emperor crab in this sea area.

The sea monster and Shaq, who were chatting over hot coffee, were surprised and asked, "are you sure? Is it the discovery of the five element dragon searching formula? "

Qin Shiou patted the chart behind them and said, "no, I found it from above. Look, isn't it marked with a bright red here? Isn't that the red king crab? "

Shack cried and laughed and said depressed: "however, it's not, boss. Although this sea area is indeed marked red on the map, we think it means dangerous sea area..."

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "I know, this sea area is considered to have a large number of reefs, isn't it? But look at the distribution map of Greenland's catch. The chart shows that emperor crabs have been produced around here. Do you understand? "

Shack and the sea monster certainly understand that the distribution of emperor crabs is regional. Since the surrounding waters have been rich in emperor crabs, they are naturally distributed near the reef. Considering that the sea area is full of reefs, there must not be many ships dare to enter. Naturally, there are still rich emperor crab resources here.

"Our boat is too big. Can we get in here?" They hesitated.

Qin Shiou said with a smile, "don't worry, I'll take this. With a captain like me leading the way, I'm sure I won't encounter the reef. Now, what you have to consider is not safety, but whether our fishing quota is a little small. "

Just like catching bluefin tuna, Emperor crab needs to spend money to buy a fishing license. The government will give a fishing quota. Before the melon Princess sets out, all kinds of fishing licenses are complete. The fishing license of Red Emperor crab is 200 tons.

This is an exaggerated quota. The total weight of king crab produced in Alaska and Greenland waters is about 10000 tons every year, of which Alaska is the main one, which can produce 8000 tons, and Greenland waters can produce at most two or three thousand tons.

Therefore, what Qin Shiou asked shack to buy was a 200 ton fishing license. At that time, he thought it would be good to take away one tenth of the annual output in Greenland. He didn't expect to get off to a good start and meet such a large area of emperor crab as soon as he arrived in Greenland.

Deep sea fishing is one of the most dangerous work in the world, and catching emperor crab is one of the most dangerous deep-sea fishing. The industrial injury mortality of crab catchers in Alaska is 50 times that of ordinary workers. During the crab season, on average, one crab catcher will die every 7 days in the Bering Strait!

The climate in Greenland is much milder than that in Alaska, but there are fishermen casualties every year.

Under the guidance of Qin Shiou, the melon Princess avoided the jagged reefs and soon appeared on the top of the emperor crab group. Qin Shiou called all the fishermen for a meeting.

This time, together with the four newcomers brought by Geng Junjie and the ten fishermen recruited from the town, he brought out a total of 22 fishermen, with an unprecedented large team.

Therefore, in Qin Shiou's expectation, this harvest has been unprecedented!
