"Get out of my way, you're blocking my view!" Chen Hong waved her hand, trying to shoo them away.
They scattered in a flash, then gathered together again in a short while—how mischievous!
Chen Hong had no choice but to let them follow her.
She felt as if she had become their leader, leading a small group of fish to survey the terrain on the seabed.
Walking through a patch of seaweed that resembled terrestrial reeds, Chen Hong discovered a large expanse of purple sea urchins.
No wonder there aren't many corals growing here; they must have been eaten by sea urchins.
Chen Hong took out a pair of iron clamps and a net from her spatial storage and began her day's harvest.
Chen Hong collected over two hundred sea urchins, some purple and some black, until she had filled a large pile in her spatial storage before stopping.
We caught quite a few blue crabs and mud crabs, and also caught a lot of mantis shrimp and slipper lobsters.
After wandering around for a while, I picked out some large sea cucumbers and plum blossom sea cucumbers, and filled four baskets with them.
She didn't catch any fish. Most of them were in their spawning season and had adapted to the environment of this sea area, so Chen Hong decided to leave them to continue breeding.
Before boarding the ship, Chen Hong released a large amount of spatial water, hoping that this marine forest would continue to spread outwards like a carpet, becoming a home for more marine animals.
Chen Hong released one-third of the space for fish fry. The environment here is relatively good, which is conducive to the young fish fry avoiding natural enemies.
She hopes to maximize the survival rate of small fish fry and help the nearshore fishery resources recover as soon as possible.
This is her real breeding ground! Chen Hong thought to herself.
The breeding farm that the village chief and his partners run is practically a large-scale, well-intentioned simulation game.
If it weren't for wanting to help the village chief and his family, Chen Hong really wouldn't have wanted to contract the seawater or engage in aquaculture.
Writing applications, signing contracts, setting up equipment, feeding the animals every day, and monitoring the water quality daily—there are just too many troublesome things to do.
Standing at the bow of the boat, facing the vast ocean, Chen Hong felt a surge of pride. The ocean was all water, and the water teemed with seafood—she could take whatever she wanted!
The ocean is my breeding ground!
Chen Hong took off her diving suit and released a large aquaculture box containing the sea urchins she had stored in her spatial storage.
Three baskets of sea cucumbers were released, weighing approximately 150 jin (75 kg).
Another basket of ginseng was released, weighing about fifty catties.
She doesn't want to harvest abalone this time. Although abalone can be eaten all year round, summer is the best season to eat it.
Abalone is a type of shellfish that grows relatively slowly. The best season for harvesting abalone is from July to September each year when they are at their fattest and most delicious.
Chen Hong has several secret fishing spots where abalone grow. She plans to let the abalone grow for a few more months, and then focus on catching them when her children are on summer vacation.
Because sea cucumbers have the characteristics of summer dormancy and winter dormancy, sea cucumber harvesting in Weihai is divided into two seasons: spring and autumn.
Springtime is generally from April to May. Autumntime is generally from the end of October to the middle of December.
Sea cucumbers are being harvested at the perfect time now. They have accumulated nutrients during hibernation, and in addition, they absorb a large amount of nutrients during spawning and reproduction in the spring, making them highly nutritious.
People generally believe that spring and winter are the best seasons to eat sea cucumbers for nourishment and health.
Geoduck clams can be harvested year-round, so Chen Hong decided to make geoduck clams her next goal.
Chen Hong weighed anchor and prepared to set sail. Before that, Chen Hong scattered a large amount of bait made of chicken blood and fish blood into the sea on the ship, and watched the sea surface, waiting for the sharks to arrive.
Chen Hong checked the time; it was 8:10 a.m. In the distance, triangular fish fins were cutting through the water as they swam rapidly towards them.
Here it comes, it's the Great White Shark!
These great white sharks are enormous creatures, about six or seven meters long and weighing eight or nine hundred kilograms. They swarm towards the scent of blood.
Chen Hong quickly released the numbers one, two, three, and four from the space.
Each of them was stabbed again to bleed them, ensuring the great white sharks had a fresh, hot breakfast.
The great white shark, attracted by the scent of fresh blood, swam even faster, charging straight for its delicious prey like a 100-meter sprinter.
The great white shark, also known as the man-eating shark, is a Class II protected animal in China. It generally lives in waters from the surface to a depth of 1280 meters, and the largest individuals can reach 8 meters in length. It is a large and ferocious shark found in coastal waters.
When great white sharks and eels ambush their prey, they first lie in wait at the bottom of the water, and then launch a fierce attack from below.
They were all omnivores, preying on various fish, turtles, and marine mammals, and there are also records of them attacking fishing boats and cannibalism.
In my country, it is mainly distributed in the East China Sea, Taiwan, the Northeast China Sea, and the South China Sea.
Chen Hong thought that the four eldest brothers could rest in peace knowing they could be served breakfast by a great white shark, since not everyone is willing to sacrifice themselves for a national second-class protected animal.
Chen Hong steered the boat further away from the area where the body had been dumped, watching from a distance as the great white shark hunted.
These great white sharks first sank underwater, and then suddenly surged upwards.
The large head and gaping maw that emerged from the water suddenly bit into a human-shaped piece of food. It was unclear whether it was the first, second, third, or fourth one that was lucky enough to be the first to bite.
The first shark to eat might be the biggest leader, devouring one child at a time!
As the first great white shark snatched its food and sank, the others followed.
Perhaps there were too many sharks and too little food, so the great white sharks started fighting over it.
Under the shadow of a colossal creature weighing a thousand kilograms, the food appeared tiny, and as the sharks fought over it, the food was torn into small pieces.
Other large fish that followed joined the feeding frenzy, turning the sea surface a blood red! Water splashed everywhere, truly a case of the survival of the fittest in nature.
