Chapter 1560

After a day's busy work, together with sea fishing and manual picking, the collection of scallops has finally been almost completed. The scallops are left on the beach. As long as the water vapor is abundant, they will not be in danger. They live well here.

Qin Shiou came over chewing gum, watching the sunset and these mother shellfish, planning his work tomorrow.

The setting sun shines gently. The weather in early spring is still slightly chilly. The night wind is still cold on the face. Tigers, leopards, bears and wolves are chasing each other on the beach.

Xiong Luoli stared at the scallops curiously. Then, while no one was paying attention, she carefully went up and smashed several scallops, opened her mouth, exposed her pink tongue and licked it.

The fresh taste of scallops quickly conquered its taste buds. Xiong Lori was very happy. She opened her fat claws and patted the scallops, licked the scallops and swallowed them together with the shells.

Noticing this, the silent Iverson immediately ran up, picked up bear Laurie and dragged it back.

Xiong Luoli howled reluctantly. When Xiong Da heard it, he roared and showed the majesty of the king of the mountains and forests. Unfortunately, he turned around and saw that it was Iverson holding Xiong Luoli. He was immediately depressed and sat down there in a daze.

Obviously, Iverson was so impressed by Xiong DA as a teenager that he still has lingering palpitations.

Seals are also eyeing scallops. Because they have no claws and only limbs similar to fins, they can't dig shellfish in the sediment by themselves. Of course, before, there were short tailed babblers and silver gulls in the fishing ground, and seals don't care to eat scallops.

Now the short tailed babbler has left, the gulls have been driven away, and the seals have to choose food substitutes.

There is no doubt that for them, scallops, herring and mackerel taste better, but it takes action to catch fish, but scallops pile up here. In this way, scallops seem to be a good food for seals who can be lazy and beep and don't do anything.

Qin Shiou saw that this would not work. A group of guys were staring at scallops. In other words, scallops have more than 100000 mothers. It's nothing to eat, but seals also stared at them. That's trouble. Seals are not only numerous, but also big stomach kings!

Therefore, he can only command the fishermen to eat tired all night and send these shells around the engineering aquaculture pool.

The next day is the fry of bay scallop.

The seedling production of bay scallop is one of the leading shellfish industries in the Atlantic coastal area. After years of improvement, the seedling raising technology has been greatly improved. However, many fishing grounds still can not obtain enough scallop larvae because the hatching rate is too low every year, which directly leads to the failure of seedling raising.

Therefore, improving the hatching rate of bay scallops is one of the key technologies for seedling production. Qin Shiou should not only input Poseidon energy to them, but also try to adopt more scientific breeding methods, not just rely on Poseidon energy.

All the fishermen went to battle. Shack, sea monster, bull and cigarette gun led a team of ten people to select female shellfish separately and put them on different breeding rafts according to the quality of female shellfish.

The last female scallop is the bay scallop with full gonads, large body and complete appearance. After classification and selection, it is put into different breeding ponds to adjust the water temperature and oxygen content in the water, so as to keep the female scallop mature temporarily.

The culture of female shellfish is the basis. They are hermaphroditic. Their reproductive habit is to carry out in vitro fertilization and in vitro development. Generally, they spawn and reproduce in spring and autumn. It is obvious that the maturity of female shellfish gonad development directly affects the quality of eggs.

In fact, Daqin fishing ground is not the most suitable place to cultivate seashells. Take this kind of scallops for example. They can harvest two seasons a year in the South Atlantic, including the Gulf of Mexico, and only one season here.

Of course, there are gains and losses. Compared with the scallops in the southern tropical waters, the bay scallops produced in the North Atlantic, especially in Newfoundland, have better quality, lower pollution and can sell at a higher price.

As he entered the breeding season for all kinds of marine seedlings, Sanders specially came back from No. 2 fishing ground for guidance. He took Qin Shiou to watch the scallops on the breeding raft one by one.

After reading it, the old professor was a little depressed and said, "the pro shellfish in the fishing ground are of good quality."

Pro Bei means mother Bei. Qin Shiou thinks the latter title is more appropriate, but Sanders is academic after all, and his words are more accurate. After listening, he feels that he will also call it Pro Bei in the future, which is more compelling.

As for the old professor's depression, he can understand very well. In fact, although the old man was a genius and didn't play much role in the fishing ground, he finally had a black cover giant bug project, but Qin Shiou stopped it because of lack of raw materials. That's what he regretted most.

Hearing the old professor's words, Qin Shiou grinned and said, "these scallops are high-quality Pro scallops I introduced from other fishing grounds. Of course, the quality is good, and I don't want them if it's not good."

At present, there are two kinds of scallops commonly used in major fishing grounds in Canada, namely, American Gulf scallop and Gulf of Mexico scallop. The two kinds of scallops have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they all have a common problem, that is, the decline of quality.

The first reason for this is the degradation of the shellfish germplasm; The second is the problem of aquaculture environmental pollution; The third is the operation management, breeding density and so on; Fourth, there is the problem of breeding.

Two kinds of bay scallops have been cultured in North America for more than half a century. The Gulf scallop was introduced from Mexico. Due to the unstable political power of Old Mexico at that time, the number of introduced scallops in the two countries is limited, and it breeds every half a year. Therefore, after more than half a century of artificial reproduction, inbreeding is inevitable.

Just like people, the quality of children born from close relatives is difficult to guarantee. Over time, the breeding traits of shellfish will deteriorate. At first, Sanders thought that the fishing ground would encounter this problem. He wanted to solve this problem to show his strong strength.

As a result, the strong mother shellfish didn't give him a chance!

After seeing the quality of scallops, Sanders suggested that Qin Shiou should not engage in primitive breeding and do seedling culture business, which can make more money than primitive breeding, because it comes to money quickly and does not need to raise fish, shrimp and scallops. In that way, it will take a year or even years to produce.

At present, the scallop industry in Canada has encountered a crisis of declining quality. There are two ways to solve this crisis. One is to reintroduce the original Gulf of Mexico scallop from the United States and Mexico and carry out breeding, which costs more.

Another way is to select excellent species of shellfish to cultivate and reproduce themselves. This is cheap, but it is not easy to operate and has a long cycle. It is like manual screening of high-quality varieties. The results can only be obtained after several rounds of screening and mating and repeated comparison.

Qin Shiou thought about it, which is also a good idea for development. He transformed the mother body with the Sea God consciousness, so that the fish fry, shrimp fry and shellfish fry produced are of high quality, which can be regarded as the greatest use of golden fingers to contribute to marine organisms.
