    "Satellite computers can count them clearly. I have asked about them. There are about 2.2 million birds flying in this time. It is a very large short-tailed shearwater flock that has been rare in recent years. You can make 220,000 yuan a day."  Hamley looked like you're so lucky.

    Qin Shiou was really happy when he heard this. The Canadian government is good and protects fishery owners very well.  According to Shaq's estimate, if these birds stay for a week, that's an income of about 1.5 million yuan, which is much more cost-effective than raising fish.

    However, the government does not directly transfer the money to the card, but gives him a shopping voucher of equal value, allowing him to go to the marine fishery company to buy fish feed, fish medicine or fry, shrimp fry, crab fry, etc.

    In short, the Canadian government is working hard to protect fishing grounds and develop fisheries.

    Short-tailed shearwaters are fat and small, and they don¡¯t look amazing at all. In fact, they are global traveling birds, flying across the entire earth twice every year.

    Starting in early May every year, they will gradually wander into the North Pacific in small groups, traveling north from the equator through Japan, the Ogasawara Islands, and California to the east coast of Canada, and then fly all the way to the Arctic.

    Therefore, Qin Shiou had not seen them before, because due to the shift in the first half of the year, they did not pass through the Atlantic Ocean.

    In the second half of the year, that is, in November, they will fly east from Alaska to Newfoundland, then along the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, all the way to the Hawaiian Islands, where they will spend the cold winter.

    The short-tailed shearwaters are a help to the fishery owners, and they can ask for compensation from the government, but they do serious damage to the fisheries, so Shaq later asked if they should find a way to get rid of these seabirds in advance.

    Qin Shiou shook his head and refused. Migration is the nature of seabirds. Before the fishing ground was established on Farewell Island, these seabirds left here.  Human beings cannot be so overbearing. In fact, they occupy the living space of these seabirds, and it is natural for them to feed and rest here.

    After hearing what he said, Wei Ni hugged him and smiled sweetly. Qin Shiou didn't know what she was laughing at.

    Not only did they not drive away the short-tailed shearwaters, Qin Shiou also did not deliberately capture them.

    The short-tailed shearwater is a bird with good meat quality, but because its habitat is either in the extreme south or the extreme north, it is usually difficult to catch it.  Only when they migrate through a place can the people there get a good meal.

    When they learned that the short-tailed shearwaters had arrived at Farewell Island, many people in St. John's came excitedly with bird-catching nets. The flocks of birds were so dense that a dozen or even dozens of them could be caught with one net. This was truly '  He beat the roe deer with a stick and scooped up fish and pheasants into the rice pot.

    Qin Shiou hated this kind of hunting of wild animals. He and Hamley issued a statement: private fisheries, no entry.

    ¡° In this way, if people in St. Johns want to hunt short-tailed shearwaters, they can only go to public fishing grounds.

    But there are many tourists gathered at the public fishing ground in the town, and the Chinese cameras are filming there. If they hunt the short-tailed shearwater, it will be embarrassing and they will go abroad.

    It has to be said that the quality of Canadians is quite good. A group of people came for a walk with a bird net, and finally left in despair with a few birds.

    After staying at the fishing ground for six or seven days, one early morning in late November, the short-tailed shearwaters set off on an expedition again.

    Qin Shiou became a witness. He stood on the pier, and countless seabirds seemed to have suddenly received instructions. They spread their wings and flew hard from the sea, forming a cloud with almost no edges and flying towards the south

    The tigers and leopards stayed on the beach a little melancholy. They had a lot of fun playing with the short-tailed shearwaters these past few days. Or they had a lot of fun playing with the short-tailed shearwaters. When these birds flew away, those days would be boring again.  .

    Watching the group of short-tailed shearwaters slowly disappearing, Qin Shiou's shocked mood did not subside for a long time. He carefully took a photo and sent it to the space, with a name: The Greatness of Life.

    The flock of seabirds disappeared at the sea level. Qin Shiou slowly walked down the pier and walked to the beach. After a quick look, he said, holy shit, there are so many white things. What are these?  Bird poop?

    Looking carefully, Qin Shiou suddenly became happy, these are all bird eggs!  So many eggs!

    Yes, there were many gray-white bird eggs scattered on the vast beach. Qin Shiou only found twelve bird eggs on the beach of more than 100 square meters around him. If he searched the entire beach, it would be  how much?

    After the birds left, Shark and the Sea Monster took the box to the beach. The group formed a line and began to look for the eggs.

    Qin Shiou ran over and asked, "This is the gift from the seabird you said."??  Haha, so many bird eggs, so nice.  "

    Shaq smiled and said: "This is just a small gift, boss, there are more important gifts behind."

    ¡°Stop trying to impress the boss, tell him the truth.¡± The sea monster said.

    Shaq nodded and said: "It's the fishery doctor. The short-tailed shearwater's excrement attracted the fishery doctor. Peter pine rock shrimp, hedgehog shrimp, mantis shrimp and other shrimps have already come to our fishery."

    After listening to Shaq¡¯s introduction, Qin Shiou learned that short-tailed shearwaters like to feed on shrimps, but as we all know, shrimps are marine benthic organisms, which means they live on the seabed.

    In this way, it is difficult for short-tailed shearwaters to catch these foods. Long-term evolution has made their excrement contain a mineral phosphorus.  These mineral phosphorus are necessary substances for the growth of Peter pine rock shrimp, hedgehog shrimp, mantis shrimp and other shrimps, and they will follow them to find food.

    Every place where a group of short-tailed shearwaters stops to rest will slowly attract a large number of Peter pine rock shrimp, hedgehog shrimp, mantis shrimp and other shrimps. This is a compensation they give to the fishery.

    Qin Shiou originally wanted to control Poseidon¡¯s consciousness and go to the sea to have a look, but Shaq and others were picking up bird eggs, so he also participated.

    The breeding season of short-tailed shearwaters is from the end of September to early May of the following year. During this time, they all lay eggs. During these seven days, more than two million short-tailed shearwaters laid at least tens of thousands of eggs on the beach of the fishing ground.  .

    Bird eggs are gathered in several relatively concentrated places, which is related to the breeding habits of short-tailed shearwaters. They like to nest in caves on the coast or on islands, and often nest and breed in large groups. Therefore, the nests are quite dense, with an average of 1 square meter.  Mi has a nest.

    These nests are simple. The mother bird digs out a sand nest with her claws and sits inside to lay eggs. If it is in the Arctic habitat in September, the short-tailed shearwater will spend a month digging the hole, and then  spawning.

    In addition to leaving so many eggs, these unqualified fathers and mothers of short-tailed shearwaters also left behind many old birds and young birds that could not keep up with the population.

    For nature, this is normal. Birds use this method to eliminate unqualified ones to promote the evolution of the population.

    In the morning, all the birds left, but starting in the evening, many small birds and old birds flew back one after another.

    Looking at these birds, Wei Ni said with some distress: "They will all die. As long as the cold wave comes, they will be frozen to death. Even if they can withstand the cold wave, there is no food on the sea surface in winter to supply them, so they will starve to death."  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
