The suspended animation of abalone became an important turning point in the transaction between the two parties.
A scholar named Chris Cohen discovered this. He found that these precious abalones suddenly stopped moving and immediately felt that something was wrong.
Unlike other shellfish, abalone is not a species that does not change once it chooses its living environment. They live a diurnal and nocturnal life. When there is sufficient light during the day, they will hide quietly at home to recharge; at night When it comes, they will go out to hunt.
In addition, Balzac arranged a very good living environment for BC piebald abalone. The fish tank they live in is seven to eight meters long and four to five meters wide. It is said that it was used to breed small sharks, so that the BC piebald abalone can be ensured. Abalone's movement is unrestricted.
British Columbia pied abalone likes to live in rocky areas with fast currents and lush seaweed and in rocky corners spit out from the coast. There are some reefs growing with brown algae in one corner of the large fish tank. This is the home of abalone.
In addition to being out at day and night, BC spotted abalone also has a habit of returning to its nest. No matter how far it crawls out to hunt for food, when it is almost dawn, it will always slowly crawl back to its 'home' and will not go out casually. Stay.
The abalones in the fish tank gradually weakened their vitality. Their moving speed slowly became extremely slow, and the food they put in them was not touched. They were scattered and motionless in the fish tank.
Experts immediately rescued the abalones after discovering the problem, but no matter how much they studied, they could not find the reason why the abalones went dormant.
At this time, when Balzac saw that the situation was not good, he had no choice but to reuse these abalones as waste and find Qin Shiou to negotiate again.
"If you want to get BC spotted abalone, then you not only have to allow us to catch those colorful crayfish, but also help us catch leatherback turtles. Of course, we will not harm the leatherback turtles, and the lobsters will try to keep them as normal as possible. ." Balzac said.
Qin Shiou expressed his doubts at the right time: "Why do you suddenly want to trade again? I think something must have gone wrong."
He was not worried about this group of people guessing that he had done something wrong, because since he realized that he was interested in abalone, someone had been kept on duty 24 hours a day on the ship, and the abalone fish tank was locked in the captain's cabin. Qin Shiou had no chance to come into contact with these abalones. .
Balzac sneered and said: "No, no, no, we were just moved by your sincerity. In the past few days, we have inquired about you in the town. Mr. Qin, your love for the fishery is enough to convince us that you really want to breed. BC piebald abalone expand the species rather than eat it."
Qin Shiou secretly cursed the intellectuals for their bad conscience. Are you moved by your sincerity? Then why did you wait until the abalone looked like it was about to die before you were moved?
But he didn¡¯t care about that. His goal now was to get the abalone, so he quickly reached an agreement with Balzac. He helped the scientific expedition ship No. 2 catch leatherback turtles and lobsters, and the BC spotted abalone was given to him alive and dead.
Experts also feel that they have taken advantage. The movement of abalone is very slow, so it will not move after being fished out, and it is impossible to tell whether it is dead or not.
After getting more than 50 British Columbia spotted abalone, Qin Shiou smiled and released them into the coral reef waters.
¡°Of course, in order to reduce the experts¡¯ doubts about this matter, he also pretended to check the condition of these British Columbia spotted abalone.
Qin Shiou is checking the age of abalone, which is similar to trees. Generally, every year, abalone will leave a deep mark on its shell. This mark is called growth lines, which are equivalent to the growth rings of trees.
Under normal circumstances, the obviousness of growth lines is related to the living environment, season and the type of food the abalone eats. In the fast-growing season, the growth lines are obvious and the distance is wider; in the slow-growing season, the opposite is true, the growth lines are dense and the distance is closer.
Qin Shiou looked at it. The largest of these abalones was as big as the palm of his hand. There were forty or fifty growth rings on the carapace. They were the longevity stars of this race. No wonder the experts refused to hand over these abalones to him because they were Very precious indeed.
"Okay, there is no problem with these abalones." Qin Shiou nodded, and the experts laughed and said, of course, there is no problem. In his heart, he secretly laughed at Qin Shiou, an amateur. To see the vitality of British Columbia spotted abalone, they have to be put into pure seawater, otherwise they will not be able to survive. It will move.
Qin Shiou also smiled secretly in his heart. After throwing the abalones into the water, he released the control of Poseidon consciousness on them and took the opportunity to input a large amount of Poseidon energy. The BC spotted abalones quickly became active and entered the coral reef.??started hunting.
The heads of these abalones have a pair of slender tentacles, the eyes are at the base, and the mouth is on the ventral surface between the tentacles. In addition, abalone has a large wrist with jaws and radulas. There are many radulas on it, which are located on a radula belt. The entire radula belt looks like a file.
Abalone uses its radula to retrieve food, mainly zooplankton, red algae, green algae, seaweed, kelp, etc.
There is an interesting feature of BC piebald abalone, that is, whatever they eat, their shells will grow in a color similar to the food they eat. That's why the back shell of this kind of abalone looks like spots, because the color of the carapace changes after they eat seaweed, kelp, and red algae.
The algae resources in the coral reef waters are extremely rich, so even if it is not night, the abalones, stimulated by the energy of Poseidon, will go out to hunt.
After eating and drinking enough, the abalones will find gaps in the coral reefs to settle down. In this way, as long as there are no major changes in the surrounding environment, they will use this as their base camp to survive. No matter where they go at night, they will come back during the day.
British Columbia spotted abalone has large and plump meat. Their appearance quickly attracts surrounding predators, and some fish and shrimps that feed on shellfish are driven over.
Despite their cute and silly appearance, abalones are actually pretty capable of protecting themselves. As long as they stick their arms and legs to the rocks, they can generate a suction force of more than 200 kilograms. If big fish want to eat them through suction, they will never do so. possible.
The only thing that can affect the survival of BC spotted abalone is the mantis shrimp. These guys are very good at smashing the shells of food. The shells of abalone are not very hard and cannot withstand the critical attack of the mantis shrimp.
Qin Shiou had no choice but to go out on his own and instill a consciousness in the mantis shrimps that they were not allowed to hunt on the coral reefs.
In this way, the mantis shrimps will subconsciously avoid the coral reefs, not enter this area, and strictly follow the instructions of the Poseidon consciousness.
The officials of Qin rely on their chastity and integrity to move around the world. Their chastity has been taken away by Wei Ni, and what is left is precious integrity.
Since he promised to help the experts catch lobsters and leatherback turtles, he did just that.
¡° Catching lobsters is simple, just find the sea area where the lobsters live. If the water is shallow, just dive in and catch the lobsters. If the water is deep, just put down the lobster pots, and you can harvest in half a day.
The more difficult thing is catching leatherback turtles. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
