Chapter 45 Rescue the catshark
While diving, Xia Yu deeply felt the natural laws followed by the ocean world, and the strong prey on the weak.
Not to mention "big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps", such things happen all the time in his artificial ocean in "Baoding Space". Among marine organisms, those at the top of the food chain are basically carnivorous creatures, it depends on their own abilities.
Look, when he was wandering around the seabed, he saw such an amazing scene.
The one who was hunted was his main target. The striped bamboo shark is commonly known as a dog shark or a cat shark. It is not small in size and has a body length of more than half a meter. It is roughly estimated that it looks like three pounds.
The predator is a particularly fierce carnivorous creature in the ocean, and it is also the lifelong enemy of many sea-hunters - moray eels. There are actually quite a lot of species of moray eels. The moray eel he saw was gray-black, with black spots on his body, and extremely ferocious. The key is that it is big, Xia Yu probably looks at least six or seven kilograms, and his body is more than one meter long. In this sea area, he is simply walking sideways.
At this moment, the moray eel opened its mouth and bit the middle of the cat shark's body. Thanks to the thick skin of the cat shark, it was possible to hold on and struggle desperately. You should know that the biting force of the moray eel is quite terrifying. It can directly bite a person's fingers after one bite.
Xia Yu did not save the cat shark at the first time. He took a photo of such a rare predation scene with his mobile phone. The phone was placed in the space. After putting on a waterproof cover, it could barely be used at the bottom of the sea about ten meters.
He also carefully observed during the shooting and found that this was a female cat shark. The most important thing is that there are obvious bite marks around the pectoral fins.
Then what else to say? Hurry up and put away your phone and take action to save the cat shark!
Don't ask him how he knew, there are two little dingers on the male cat shark, which is scientifically called "fin feet".
When the male shark is intercourse, only one organ can be used, but the shark's intercourse is completed during the swimming process. It is quite difficult to complete the intercourse process. In order to maintain stability, male sharks usually bite the female shark's pectoral fin. The shark's teeth are quite sharp, so after the female shark's end, there are usually obvious bite marks around the pectoral fins.
The female cat shark that Xia Yu saw now is obviously a shark that may be her mother after she has completed her intercourse.
He was thinking of breeding cat sharks in an artificial ocean, so he couldn't let the ugly and vicious moray eels ruin good things. He quickly helped and directly put both the moray eels and the cat shark into the space first. Even if the environment changed, the extremely fierce moray eel still bit the cat shark tightly and refused to let go.
However, in the treasure tripod space, he is a god-like existence. With a slight influence, even the ferocious moray eel can only let go.
What he cared about the most was naturally the female cat shark. After being put into the artificial ocean, it wandered away happily after the disaster, and it did not seem to be seriously injured. Perhaps because the shark's skin is quite strong, even if it suffers a small injury, it will heal quickly.
When she was in the sea just now, her desire to survive was quite strong, and even if it was a little helpless, she kept struggling.
What made Xia Yu laugh the most was that after he put this big moray eel into the artificial ocean, he was more energetic and went to other seafood in the disaster in a blink of an eye. He was really not idle for a moment.
After thinking about it, he would raise this product aside first and then feed it directly on fish that are not delicious and fast-growing. Anyway, it is not picky and eats whatever it has.
Of course, in the ocean outside, ferocious predators like moray eels are not without natural enemies. They also have creatures that dare not put their mouths on them. For example, the large grouper in the grouper family, and the highly poisonous sea snake.
When moray eels were young, they would be hunted by other marine organisms, and octopuses and crabs would also prey on small moray eels. But when moray eels grew up, they could also hunt octopuses that were not particularly large. And moray eels, which were just small in space, basically would catch anyone at the bottom of the sea. They were a good thing that even sharks dared to eat, octopus, coral fish, crabs, shrimps, and shells, just eat everything.
Even when the moray eel is stranded, it is very fierce. The sea-driving eel is not afraid to take it lightly. Otherwise, it is not your eating its meat, but it bites you a piece of meat first. Many sea-driving eels have had painful experiences. It is difficult to catch it with its slippery surface with bare hands. Generally, it uses special pliers or throws it ashore. But even if it has been put into the cage and barrel, it still needs to be very careful.
Before Xia Yu opened the space, there was no way to get such a big moray eel in the ocean. It would be too difficult to catch it!
Now, no matter how powerful the moray eel is, it will eventually become a meal on the plate.
The nutritional value of moray eel is particularly high, and the larger the price, the higher the price. If he wants to sell this eel to a restaurant, it will be fine to have 150 pounds.
But the price of cat sharks is generally higher than that of moray eels, and he also hopes that cat sharks can reproduce quickly in artificial oceans.
The only regret is that he has not been filmed for a long time, but he has collected moray eels and cat sharks, and he will never lose anything he thinks.
The mysterious and beautiful ocean world full of crises makes him linger.
He also understood that in the ocean, survival is always the top priority, and reproduction is also included. Whether it is the existence of moray eels and sea snakes at the top of the food chain, or various shrimps, crabs and shellfish, it is not like large mammals such as dolphins, killer whales, etc., and there are some ideals and pursuits beyond survival.
Xia Yu himself is not willing to make salted fish, otherwise he could live better than most people by just catching seafood and selling seafood.
But now, I’ll catch the seafood first. After all, the delicious seafood is really fragrant!
Shrimp, crab, grouper is the main force in the artificial ocean, but he also wants other conchs, abalone, and shellfish. The growth rate of abalone is not fast and needs to be raised more, so he is not in a hurry. Anyway, some of them are eaten seafood.
He also raised a lot of sea bass, pomfrets, and small yellow croakers in the space. Even though the market price of these fish is not high, mainly because of the large number, it tastes quite delicious.
There are also octopus and cuttlefish, which he also caught and kept in. These are very common and delicious.
Not to mention Shi Jiugong, this is the fish that Xia Dad gets the most when fishing, even if he makes soup every day, he still has a lot of soup. After he kept it in the space for a while, Shi Jiugong's taste became more delicious. He felt that Shi Jiugong would not get tired of making soup every meal.
