    Geoduck, whose species name is Pacific mud clam, is a high-end seafood that is highly valued by the Chinese and Japanese in the Far East.

    As can be seen from the scientific name, its origin is in the Pacific region, specifically on the North Pacific coast of the United States and Canada.

    In the past, North American residents did not eat geoducks, so geoducks grew well.  But since Asian immigrants began to prey on North American geoducks, the local geoducks became endangered.

    The Newfoundland government also discovered business opportunities from this point. After the cod resources were depleted, this was one of the commercial species introduced by the government at that time to solve the fishery crisis.

    Unlike the squeamish turbot, geoducks have survived in the Newfoundland fisheries, and because the ocean here has the intersection of cold and warm currents, there is more abundant food, and the growth of geoducks is quite optimistic.

    But when the harvest season comes, a problem arises. Pacific geoducks can live in shallows, such as the inland waters of Puget Sound, Washington State, and the fishing areas of British Columbia.

    But when they arrived in the Atlantic Ocean, they changed their habits, went to the deep sea, and still lived on the sandy bottom.  This makes fishing expensive. When catching, you have to use a compressor to blow away the sand on the seabed, and then send divers to pick it up. The labor cost is very high.

    In fact, the Newfoundland government is not afraid of high labor costs. As long as it can be sold at a high price in the Far East, isn't that enough?  There's something to be earned.

    The cheating thing happened. In 1996, the China Fisheries Bureau introduced this kind of sea mussel from North America and started artificial breeding.

    Moreover, there are many sea areas in northern China suitable for their growth. In this way, as long as the mussels are introduced, artificial seedlings are produced, and then the temperature stimulation method is used, the hatching rate of the mussel seedlings can reach 80%-90%, and then they are planted in the fishing grounds and wait for harvest.  .

    As for the high labor costs during harvest?  Ha, I¡¯m sorry, brother Laojia, everything else is expensive in China but labor is cheap.  Furthermore, geoducks seem to be brothers in the socialist camp. When they reach the coastal areas of China, they no longer go to the deep sea to survive

    The Newfoundland government was stunned at that time. Should they plant geoducks?  No, it turns out that this stuff does well in Newfoundland fisheries.  So, what can we do to compete with Chinese products?  The labor costs are cheap and there is no shipping fee. The price war will make Newfoundland vomit blood.

    Later, geoducks became useless in the Newfoundland fisheries. It was a pity to throw them away because they were tasteless. The government simply ignored them. If there was a fishery to catch them, they would package them as high-end ingredients and transport them to the Far East. If they were not caught, forget it.

    This is why there are geoducks in Daqin Fishing Ground. Qin Shiou walked around the fishing ground and found that there are quite a few of them, ranging from offshore to deep sea.  Geoduck seedlings are found in offshore waters and adult geoducks are found in deep waters.

    Adult geoducks are big, their shells can reach forty centimeters in length and weigh nearly ten kilograms!

    Qin Shiou saw a lot of these giant clams in the deep sea area. Of course, this is normal. After all, geoducks are longevity stars that can live for 150 years.

    Of course, most geoducks are still about one kilogram. This size is also when they are most delicious and the meat is most tender.  Qin Shiou sent out a team of squid laborers and caught a dozen of them and sent them to the beach. He picked them up and cooked them at night.

    The unexpected discovery of geoducks - this is really an unexpected surprise. For the Newfoundland government, geoducks are useless, but for Qin Shiou, they are a treasure.

    Geoducks are expensive. The ones produced in Newfoundland waters are more expensive because they have less deep-sea pollution, are purely wild and natural. If we only look at the price of the meat, they are more expensive than bluefin tuna.

    ¡° In this way, when the harvest season comes, these geoducks from Daqin Fishing Ground can increase his income a lot.

    As for the Newfoundland government¡¯s most troublesome fishing problem, it¡¯s very simple for him. Just send out the calamari labor team, and it will be no problem to catch you 5,000 kilograms a day.

    When he was in a good mood, Qin Shiou began to inject Poseidon energy into the elephant clams. These giant clams were seed clams, and they depended on them for reproduction.

    Except for the unexpected surprise of geoduck, the fishery has not changed much in other aspects, except that the fish are bigger, and it is estimated that cod will be available for sale tomorrow spring.

    The black butterfly oyster survives very well in the coral reef area. Qin Shiou looked at it and saw that some of the large oysters had round black pearls inside.  In his eyes, these were not black beads, but golden beads.

    Seeing the black butterfly scallops, Qin Shiou couldn't help but think of the huge scallops in George Shoal. They taste really good. I'll see if I can introduce them if I have a chance.

    Gooseneck barnacles do well hanging on coral reefs and have plenty of food. When Qin Shigull is ready to wait for them to reproduce, they will lead them to the dock.

    For sharks, whales, boats and the like, Gooseneck barnacles are parasites, but for the dock, this thing is a protective coat that can help the dock resist waves.  Plus, they grow on docks and are easier to pick.

    There are many fish in the giant algae jungle at the northwest end of Farewell Island. Qin Shiou is surprised. This is the territory of sea pythons. Why do these fish dare to come here to survive?

    The sunfish gave him the answer. The habitats of these fish have a common feature, which is that they are surrounded by the sunfish.

    When Qin Shiou got close to the sunfish, he could feel through his Poseidon consciousness that this ugly thing could secrete an enzyme.

    These enzymes will not be inactivated after leaving the sunfish. They can survive in seawater for a period of time. Other fish can ingest these enzymes and use them to treat injuries and illnesses.

    Even sea pythons will wander around the sunfish¡¯s territory from time to time, not to hunt or patrol, but to swallow enzymes.  Sunfish are also very welcoming to sea pythons. When they encounter a sea python, they will even head up to it and stay with it for a while.

    This is easy to understand. Sunfish are clumsy and not good at swimming. They are often eaten by other fish and sea animals in the ocean.  Although sea pythons are large, their feeding method determines that they are not a threat to sunfish: no matter how wide the sea python opens its mouth, it cannot swallow the whole sunfish.

    In this way, the sea python has become the bodyguard of the sunfish, and the two parties have formed a mutually beneficial relationship. The sunfish treats the sea python and the sea python provides protection for the sunfish.

    With schools of sunfish, the kelp jungle has become another major habitat for fish, such as threadfin, sea bass, silver pompano, Newfoundland redfish, Spanish mackerel, Atlantic flounder, goldeneye snapper, surgeonfish  Fish, silver-scaled salmon, etc. can all be seen here.

    Leaving the giant algae jungle, Qin Shiou went to the deep sea to take a look. It used to be the territory of the Man-Eating Shark Guards.  Now, there is a huge school of five to six hundred bluefin tuna.

    Bluefin tuna live very happily here, with abundant food and few natural enemies. Under the leadership of the big blue marlin, they can swim slowly and do not have to swim as fast as they did in George Shoal to avoid predators.

    The price of bluefin tuna is related to the quality of their meat. The thicker the fat, the better the taste, and the higher the price.  The slower they swim, the more fat they store, which is the same as raising pigs.

    The Poseidon Consciousness now cruises at a faster speed. After about half a circle around the fishing ground, Qin Shiou took back the Poseidon Consciousness.

    There is no crisis in the fishing ground, but it has given him a lot of surprises. Of course, he is in crisis now, and he must resolve these crises as soon as possible, which is to say goodbye to the ownership of the fishing ground in the west of the island.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
