    Mao Weilong knew that Qin Shiou was also interested in farming, so when he was packing his things, he said, "Let's go to the farmers' seminar in Jade Town tomorrow? If you get in touch with this industry more, you can learn more."

    Qin Shiou doesn't care. Anyway, he has nothing else to do recently besides participating in the fishery owner's tour.

    Unfortunately, the plan could not change as quickly as it did. He still had to rush back early the next morning when he received a call from home: "The leatherback turtle has laid eggs at the fishing ground!"

    Leatherback turtles have little effect on fishing grounds and their economic value is not high, but they are very important to the marine life chain.  They are one of the few species that can restrain the crazy reproduction of jellyfish, and they are also children of the sea.

    Qin Shiou protected the leatherback turtle purely out of a public welfare perspective. Later, when he had the ambition to become the god of the sea, he felt the importance of this action even more.

    The fishermen all know how much he cares for the leatherback turtles, so they will report to him immediately if there is any problem with the leatherback turtles, and laying eggs is naturally a top priority, because Qin Shiou once said that leatherback turtles don't seem to care.  Likes to spawn in fishing grounds.

    Knowing that the leatherback turtle had finally laid eggs at the fishing ground, Qin Shiou was overjoyed and immediately decided to rush back to have a look.

    Last year, Qin Shiou restrained the turtles within the fishing grounds, and as a result, these turtles stopped laying eggs.

    It is understandable that natural species can quickly form stress changes to protect themselves. For example, the long teeth of African elephants often cause death for them, so now the teeth of young elephants do not grow very long.

    For another example, antelope fur has always been a valuable treasure in the international fur trade. For this reason, the antelopes were slaughtered. Later, slowly, the antelopes' fur began to become more and more rough. They used this method to protect themselves.

    Qin Shiou speculated at the time that the leatherback turtle may have found that it could not leave the fishing ground. In order to protect its offspring from slavery, it refused to mate and gave birth to offspring in the fishing ground.

    Now, leatherback turtles are finally willing to give birth to their offspring in fishing grounds. What does this mean?  It shows that they regard this place as an important survival base, which is a good thing.

    The number of leatherback turtles is decreasing day by day. In the two decades from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century, their numbers have dropped sharply due to changes in ocean water temperatures caused by the El Ni?o phenomenon, illegal fishing by fishermen, marine pollution, and local tourism development.  About 95%.

    Later, although various countries put leatherback turtles on the list of protected animals and protected their living areas, new killers appeared. People threw plastic bags in the ocean. Leatherback turtles had poor eyesight and thought they were jellyfish that they would eat.  If it goes down, the result will be indigestion and eventually death from intestinal infarction.

    Qin Shiou talked to Mao Weilong, had breakfast and took the helicopter back.

    After returning to the fishery, Winnie deliberately did not go to work and waited for him. After seeing him come back, she said happily: "It was Shirley and the others who found it. In the morning, they went to the farm to pick up eggs as usual, and found a leatherback turtle."  Come ashore to lay eggs.¡±

    May to June every year is the main egg-laying season for leatherback turtles. Females need to crawl from the ocean to the beach to dig burrows to lay eggs.  Spawning usually takes place at night, and they move very cautiously. If they encounter external disturbance, they will immediately return to the ocean.

    The reason why the leatherback turtles in the fishing ground lay eggs in the morning may be that they have lived in the fishing ground for a period of time and feel safer, so they climbed onto the beach in the morning.

    Leatherback turtles lay eggs in groups. When one female turtle takes the lead, other female turtles will climb up the beach to lay eggs in the next few days.

    As early as the 1960s, 10,000 leatherback turtles rested and laid eggs in the Lanta Abang area on the east coast of the Malay Peninsula for a week.

    Qin Shiou has read relevant information. It was a grand event at that time. During that time, the beach turned blue and black, and they were all female turtles that came ashore to lay eggs.

    Unfortunately, this grand event has become a legend. It is now the leatherback turtle laying season, but according to the Malaysian Fisheries Department, only three leatherback turtles have come to the Taabang area so far this year, and none of them have laid eggs.

    If risk factors are not considered, the real prime time for laying eggs is noon, because no matter what kind of eggs, they need a suitable temperature to hatch.

    The temperature of the beach at noon is just right, not too high but full of heat. Turtle eggs will maintain their highest vitality after being laid in the sand.

    On average, a leatherback turtle can lay about a hundred eggs during the egg-laying season, but at least one tenth of them cannot hatch. The reason is that the temperature is not suitable during egg-laying, causing the eggs to freeze to death.

    After Qin Shiou came back, he went to the beach at the mouth of the sea. It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature of the sand was a bit hot, but it was a suitable temperature for turtles to lay eggs.??.

    Continuously, several female leatherback turtles climbed onto the beach. They varied in size, ranging from one meter to two and a half meters long.

    In addition to the female turtle, there is also a male turtle on the beach, that is Nicholas Turtle Four.

    Fourth Master patrols the beach with his hip-hop ghost steps. Although he trembles as he walks, he is indeed suitable as a sentry because his head can keep turning and he can't avoid his eyes for any disturbance.

    There is no doubt that these female turtles come ashore to prepare to lay eggs. They choose the location to lay eggs very carefully. They must not only facilitate the hatching of eggs, but also avoid being discovered and destroyed by enemies.

    Seven or eight female turtles climbed up one after another, and then they divided into groups to find suitable places to lay eggs on the beach.

    Seeing that they had not dug their egg holes for a long time, Qin Shiou understood the reason. He took Wei Ni to the grass behind to find some shrubs, pulled them out by the roots and planted them randomly on the beach.

    Sure enough, after discovering the bush, the female turtles climbed over happily.  They first dig holes on the beach next to the bushes with their paddle-like forelimbs, digging out a large depression that is about the same size as their bodies, and then lie down with their entire bodies in the sand pit.

    After hiding in the pit, the female turtle's eyes stared around nervously, her hind legs dug down alternately like a shovel, and she dug a vertical egg pit under the reproductive hole behind her buttocks.

    At this time, the female turtles are about to lay eggs.

    One characteristic of female turtles laying eggs is that they are extremely cautious before laying eggs and return to the sea immediately at the slightest disturbance.  But once it starts laying eggs, it will ignore no matter how strong the stimulation is.

    A real snapping turtle crawled over at some point. It has also lived in this place, so it is very familiar with everything.

    Lying on the beach, the expert first sighed and sighed that the sun and the moon were flying like a dream, and then he saw the female turtle laying eggs, and he crawled over to look at it curiously.

    The female turtles stared at the master nervously, but they were still laying eggs, and Nicholas Turtle Four rushed over with ghost steps and bumped into the master!

    "As if the Zhiyuan ship collided with the Yoshino ship of the little Japanese, the fourth master did not hesitate and bravely moved forward!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
