Chapter 66: Species Abundance

Of course, in recent years, Huaxia has become the top priority of the catering industry, and Europeans and Americans have also started to catch and freeze sea cucumbers and send them to Huaxia. This is a very popular food in Huaxia.

However, obviously, the sea cucumbers that Jiang Hai and the others caught were not intended to be sold, because Edward only wanted to check the marine resources, so he did not freeze the sea cucumbers, but soaked them in sea water, which could prevent the sea cucumbers from spontaneously dissolve.

The autolysis phenomenon of sea cucumbers is mainly because after sea cucumbers leave seawater, a kind of thing called autolytic enzymes will be produced in the body. Within 6-7 hours, sea cucumbers will melt themselves into liquid and become watery. , invisible, invisible, this can be regarded as a legend.

Europeans and Americans don't eat sea urchins and sea cucumbers, but Jiang Hai does. These things are destined to become his dinner.

In addition to sea urchins and sea cucumbers, there are also a lot of delicious food left in this tank.

Crab, Jiang Hai’s favorite food in China before, is not one of them, but the price of this food in China has always been quite expensive. After coming to the United States, he has not had time to eat it. It's time to eat meat.

There are about a dozen crabs here, and the largest one is about a catty smaller.

Jiang Hai also knows this kind of crabs. Swimming crabs are the most common type of sea crabs. When buying sea crabs in China, they basically refer to swimming crabs, because other crabs are either inedible or not easy to catch.

Crabs, there are five types of crabs, walking crabs, swimming crabs, cave crabs, hidden crabs and symbiotic crabs. Big crabs, like the famous killer crabs, are walking crabs, but this kind of crab is too big. It is also strong, and it only walks under the sea, so it is not very easy to catch. Swimming crab refers to this kind of swimming crab. This is also the only swimming crab. It is the only one in the crab family that can swim. There are also many cave crabs, but we can usually see them on the shore. These crabs are basically terrestrial or semi-terrestrial. It is difficult to see them in the deep sea. Look, this is a frog crab, this is a Joan Na crabs are all cave crabs. This is a hidden crab. It pretends to be a rock or something. Apart from crabs, there must be some in these shells.” Seeing that Jiang Hai seemed to be interested in crabs, Philemon also smiled and explained.

Although Philemon is a professional cowboy, he also has some understanding of marine life, after all, he is a person who has run a boat.

Seeing that the boss was interested in these things, he introduced them to Jiang Hai.

After introducing crabs, he began to introduce shrimps. After all, shrimps and crabs are not separated.

There are also many types of shrimp here. At a glance, there are six types. The most common one is a red shrimp. This kind of shrimp is about ten centimeters long. Jiang Hai is very familiar with this kind of shrimp. It is arctic sweet shrimp, which tastes very good.

In addition to this kind of shrimp, there are also blue-colored shrimp, which are a circle larger than the arctic sweet shrimp. This kind of shrimp is prawn, and Jiang Hai has eaten it before.

In addition, what Jiang Hai also knows is the shrimp crawler, that is, mantis shrimp. This kind of shrimp is not like a shrimp. There are many in Bingcheng, and you can eat live ones all year round, and the taste is also good. So Jiang Hai also likes it very much.

In addition to these three types of shrimp, there is only one kind of shrimp that Jiang Hai knows. The lobster is the legendary Maine lobster. Well, it is actually better called Boston lobster, but this shrimp is obviously still a shrimp. From the beginning to the end, it is only about ten centimeters, not much bigger than a crayfish, and there is probably no meat. Speaking of lobsters, Jiang Hai remembers seeing a lot of them when he went into the sea last time. It seems that he has time to wait. I have to go to the sea by myself. You said that you came to Boston to buy a farm, but the biggest specialty here, Boston lobster, has never been eaten. Jiang Hai himself feels a little ashamed to say it.

Aside from the shrimps he knew, there were three more that he didn't know. Jiang Hai couldn't help looking at Philemon.

There are quite a lot of shrimp here. Even if some fish are raised now, it will not cause an ecological imbalance. Let me introduce these three types of shrimp to the boss. This kind of very long shrimp is called the spotted shrimp. It is called the island prawn. It is a kind of prawn. It is distributed all over the world. It is also the largest prawn. This one is about 24 to 5 centimeters long, and it is considered mature. The largest one is more than 30 centimeters It’s long, but the quality of the meat is mediocre, not as good as Arctic sweet shrimp.” Philemon did not disappoint Jiang Hai, and under Jiang Hai’s gaze, he first picked up a strip that looked like it had tiger stripes, section by section. The prawn said to Jiang Hai.

For this shrimp, Jiang Hai has seen it in the aquatic product market before, but the price is really too expensive. In the aquatic product market in Bingcheng, a pound of live freshwater shrimp, but it is not a festival, only sells for a little over 20 yuan , but a catty of these prawns can be sold for more than 40 to 50 per catty, which is really outrageously expensive, but in this fishing ground, there are quite a few of this kind of prawns.

After putting down the shrimp, Philemon picked up another thing, but this thing was said to be a shrimp, but it looked more like a bug.

It's called a crayfish (Haizhiliao). It's a kind of lobster, but it's very small, and it's not tasty, and it doesn't have much meat. Fiddling with the shrimp in front of him, Philemon said with a smile .

This is a carved shrimp. According to legend, there was this kind of shrimp in the Jurassic era, so there is a genus called Jurassic shrimp, but it is an Australian shrimp. We have it here. We only have this kind of shrimp here. The same It's very small and doesn't have much meat. After putting down the guy who seemed to have more bugs than shrimp, Philemon picked up the last shrimp that Jiang Hai didn't know, and said to Jiang Hai.

There are also this kind of shrimp. In fact, most of these shrimps are used as food, and only this kind of shrimp is the most important. After putting down the shrimp, Philemon turned his attention to the mantis shrimp. body.

I know, this is mantis shrimp. We also have it there. It tastes very good. Hearing what Philemon said, Jiang Hai said immediately.

Uh, Chinese people eat it? Well, Chinese people seem to have nothing to eat. This is a kind of cleaning shrimp. We basically don't eat it. This kind of shrimp swims very fast and can eat it. Dead fish, shrimps, and crabs are responsible for keeping the bottom of the sea clean. Philemon also laughed and said while teasing the mantis shrimp in his hand.

Obviously, probably because of Goldfinger, Jiang Hai is obviously more concerned about the ocean than he is about the pastures. He also knows more about aquatic animals. He also knows about clean shrimps, and other shrimps are all eaten by fish. They are eaten, but this kind of shrimp should be protected by fish. This kind of shrimp is a doctor in the ocean, who specializes in treating sick fish, and is very famous in the ocean.

But whether it is Peter Rock Shrimp, Hedgehog Shrimp, Yellow Northern Hedgehog Shrimp or Galia Whip Whip Shrimp, etc., these shrimps are all temperate and tropical shrimps, and they are not found in the frigid zone, at least here in Jianghai.

Jiang Hai doesn't quite understand this, but it's easy to explain because it's located here and the water temperature is very cold.

Therefore, aquatic organisms are not as easy to get sick as in temperate and tropical zones, and even if they are sick, the survival of the fittest will die. After all, there are only a very small number of them, and mantis shrimps will kill their corpses Drop, complete the ecological cycle.

What Jiang Hai thinks is sea intestines is actually not sea intestines, but hagfish. The hagfish itself is not delicious, but its close relative, the lamprey, is a good food, although the two are both Same disgusting.

There is also something called a sea hare, also called a sea slug. To be honest, this thing is also quite disgusting...

After introducing shrimp and crabs, Philemon began to introduce the most important thing, fish!

But after all, this is not a breeding farm, so many of the fish caught are not edible, because most of them are fish caught in the coral area, the so-called damselfish fish, you may still I don’t quite understand, but to put it another way, everyone will understand the clownfish. The clownfish is also a kind of damselfish. Basically, all coral fish schools or sea anemone fish schools are a kind of damselfish. This kind of fish is not only found in the temperate zone, but also in the tropics, and also in the frigid zone, but it doesn’t come out very much in winter.

In addition to this kind of fish that can only be seen but not eaten, there are many edible fish here, the main ones are cod, herring and some sardines, which Jiang Hai knows, and there is also an ugly fish, Philemon Tell Jiang Hai that this is grouper.

However, because this kind of fish mainly lives in the temperate zone and the tropics, there are not many fisheries here.

So the one I grabbed was not too big, probably only a little bigger than the palm of my hand. Jiang Hai grabbed it, and it was about a catty, less than two catties. For the grouper, such a figure is still in the middle Kindergarten level.

In addition to these fish, there are many other fish, skipjack, mullet, barracuda, redfish, red snapper, etc...

Just counting here, there are dozens of kinds. When Philemon first said, Jiang Hai could still listen to it, but soon he was distracted.

Just when he was distracted, he suddenly saw a big spider that was not too small, jumped out of the sink and started to crawl quickly.

Seeing this, Jiang Hai subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the spider, but Philemon held his hand faster. Seeing Philemon's movements, Jiang Hai also A little dazed, knowing that Philemon could not grab him without a reason, so after taking a look at Philemon, he withdrew his hand first.

After confirming that Jiang Hai left the spider-like creature, Philemon breathed a sigh of relief.

Boss, it looks like your underwater world is indeed very good. There are even sea spiders. Picking up a wooden board, Philemon first got the spider-like thing out of the sink, and directly Stepped to death, then threw it back into the sea, and then said to Jiang Hai, hearing his words, Jiang Hai frowned, sea spider? Do spiders also live in the sea?

In fact, it is not the case. Although the sea spider is called a spider, it is actually a member of the crab family. But don't think it is a crab, so you can bully it.
