After catching several jellyfish, Feng Ye got a little tired and stopped for a while, leaning on the net and looking at the sea.
But then they saw what looked like a group of small fish swimming in the water not far away.
He opened his eyes wide and looked closely; it really was a group of small fish.
However, this fish was quite small, about the thickness of a finger, and thin, and its color was translucent.
It's easy to overlook if you don't look closely.
"What a pity."
Feng Ye shook his head.
This fish is too small; it's not worth much.
But if you can fish them out, coat them in flour, and deep-fry them, they'll be fragrant and crispy—a perfect snack to enjoy with drinks.
Unfortunately, they couldn't retrieve it; there were no suitable tools on the boat.
Whether it's a landing net or a hand-thrown net, the mesh size is too large.
To catch these small fish, you need a fine-mesh net with very small mesh.
The Rising Sun doesn't exist, and they wouldn't stoop to doing something so despicable as to cause their lineage to perish.
Why are you suddenly shaking your head?
Ah-Can saw Feng Ye's actions from the driver's seat and couldn't help but ask.
"I saw a group of silverfish, but unfortunately I couldn't catch them to have a treat."
translucent silver fish
Ah-Can pouted: "What's so regrettable about the little silver fish? Nobody wants to buy them. I thought you saw the big yellow croaker get away..."
"Stop jinxing it, okay? If it really happens, you'll be kicking yourself."
Feng Ye quickly stopped him from continuing.
"If only my mouth were this accurate, I would definitely make a fortune. Unfortunately, my mouth isn't that magical."
Ah-Can laughed and made a self-deprecating joke.
"As the saying goes, good things don't come true, but bad things do. You still have too little... Holy crap, there really is... no, it's a small yellow croaker."
As he was speaking, he saw a small group of yellow fish swarming behind the group of silver fish, hunting for food.
He didn't realize it at first and thought it was a large yellow croaker.
But he immediately realized that the large yellow croakers during the day were not usually golden in color, and only after looking more closely could he recognize them.
"It's just a small cucumber, not a big one. Don't overreact, you're giving me a heart attack."
"It's all your fault. Now I think any yellow fish is a big cucumber."
"Why is it my fault? You were the one who admitted your mistake."
"If it weren't for your jinxed words, which gave me a psychological suggestion, would I have been able to admit my mistake?"
The two bantered back and forth, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Feng Ye also continued to collect jellyfish.
However, jellyfish and sea jellyfish are mixed together, so you have to be careful to distinguish them. Several times he mistook sea jellyfish for sea jellyfish and scooped them onto the boat.
At this moment, several more round spheres, which were either jellyfish or sea jellyfish, drifted to the side of the boat.
He stretched the net into the sea and stirred it before discovering that only one of the creatures was a jellyfish, while the rest were jellyfish.
Moreover, beneath this pale blue jellyfish, there was a dark, shell-like object.
shell?
Tortoise shell?
Sea turtle?
Feng Ye immediately made the connection.
Judging from this, it's definitely a sea turtle.
Sea turtles are one of the natural enemies of jellyfish.
They have no teeth, but possess a beak as sharp as an eagle's, capable of grinding jellyfish to pieces.
Sea turtles are adept at avoiding jellyfish tentacles because their skin is exceptionally thick, making it difficult for jellyfish stinging cells to penetrate, and they also have a particularly strong ability to detoxify.
This allows sea turtles to safely consume jellyfish.
Feng Ye examined it carefully and found that it was indeed a large sea turtle, and judging from the length of its shell, it was probably no less than sixty centimeters.
The sea turtle bit down on the jellyfish's tentacle, tore off a large piece, and chewed it until it swallowed it.
After finishing that bite, it went forward again to tear it apart...
Unfortunately, the jellyfish was helpless; it couldn't run away, and the poison didn't work, so it could only let the sea turtle tear it apart and devour it piece by piece.
This jellyfish is quite big; it must weigh at least fifty pounds.
It's only a dollar; we can't let a sea turtle ruin it.
Feng Ye immediately used a net to trap the jellyfish, separating the two sworn enemies.
Whether it was poor eyesight or anger, this sea turtle actually bit the fishing net.
Even after Feng Ye dragged the net to the side of the boat, the sea turtle did not let go, holding on tightly.
He then recognized it as a leatherback tortoise.
It gets its name from the fact that it has a large head, a short neck, seven longitudinal ridges on its back, and five longitudinal ridges on its abdomen.
Leatherback Turtle
Leatherback sea turtles are the largest living sea turtle species, with carapace lengths reaching over 1.5 meters. They primarily feed on jellyfish.
This leatherback turtle is considered to be on the smaller side.
However, its back was covered with dense barnacles, which must have been quite uncomfortable for it.
Barnacles are disgusting creatures that always attach themselves to reefs, ships, and marine life, posing a significant threat.
Once it sticks to you, it's like a leech, impossible to shake off.
The main natural enemy of adult sea turtles is barnacles.
When a sea turtle swims, if it encounters a barnacle, the barnacle will attach itself tightly to the turtle's body, and may even embed its shell into the turtle's skin or shell.
This not only severely affects the sea turtle's movement speed and hunting ability, but also increases its load.
As the number of barnacles continues to increase, sea turtles may be unable to catch food due to difficulty swimming, ultimately threatening their lives.
"You're quite persistent, bro. Come on up here, I'll give you a massage to help you relax."
Feng Ye smiled and tried to pull up the net, but found it very difficult.
