1165. capelin tide
After Victoria Day, Qin Shiou and Winnie are about to get engaged.
Winnie's parents were responsible for the engagement banquet, but the other work was with Qin Shiou. He wanted to book a hotel. The guests who came this time had a very special identity, so he contacted the five-star hotel in St. Johns, and he probably had to cover one floor in those two days.
When there was nothing to do at night, Qin Shiou would take Winnie to see the displaced coast. The two of them walked quietly on the beach with their fingers in touch, listening to the crisp sounds of the waves slapping on the coast, and looking at the starlight, he would always feel peaceful at this time.
Soon, the main force of the capelin fish arrived and the fishing ground became noisy.
One morning, suddenly, countless small fish with slap length jumped on the beach under the waves. The next wave rushed over, and another batch would be sent and a batch would be taken away at the same time. This cycle would be
Qin Shiou saw this scene through the consciousness of the sea god last night, but it was far less shocking than seeing it with his own eyes. As he said to the fishermen when he first saw this scene, shocked with awe, the sea bred so many lives.
The fishermen were waiting for this day, and when it came, everyone stood on the beach and on the pier to watch the scene.
The short-tailed squids in the jungle of the fishing grounds were killed, and these short and fat guys were flying happily against the sea, enjoying this gluttonous feast.
At the same time, there were other fish that were enjoying. Everyone stood here to see not only the capelin fish, but also other fish. How abundant the fishing ground is, you can see at this moment.
The black capelin swam over from the deep sea. The offshore waters of the fishing ground seemed to be boiling hot water, and the water waves were rolling, and the capelin was constantly beaten and jumped out of the water.
Bush dived from the air. As soon as a fish jumped up, its claws accurately grabbed it, and then its powerful wings shook and flew straight into the sky.
Nimitz's figure appeared, and Bush let go of the fish in his claws. The fish twisted its body in the air in horror. Before it could fall to the sea, a figure quickly passed by. The warship bird held the fish with its amazing precision and swallowed it into its stomach.
Bush flew down again and again. He caught the fish and threw it away. Nimitz flew quickly under it, enjoying the gifts brought by his friends.
When Qin's father and mother saw this scene for the first time, the two elders exclaimed: "My God, how many fish are there? Where do these fish come from and jump onto the beach. It's not suicide, right?"
It was the first time that Sister Qin and her brother-in-law saw it. The Miranda family was shocked. Winnie explained the situation of capelin: "This season of each year, capelin will swim out from the depths of the North Atlantic and come to prey at the intersection of the Arctic Cold Current and the Gulf of Mexico warm current."
"The food in our fishing grounds is the most abundant and the water quality is the best, so it always attracts a large number of capelin. They will eat full food in the fishing grounds and then thrive."
There are more capelin species this year than last year, because Qin Shiou left a large number of fishing grounds last year. These fish absorbed the energy of the sea god and spawned eggs, causing large groups of capelin species to be found near the sea.
However, until a specific time, they will not rush to the beach to mate and lay eggs. Therefore, this kind of scene is not seen normally.
The arrival of capelin is a win-win situation. They will eat a large number of zooplankton and algae in the fishing ground and continue the energy to complete the reproduction process. The indigenous people in the fishing ground, such as various cod, tuna, etc., will prey on them, which is a better food than herring and mackerel.
As the fish crowded appeared on the sea, they stood on the dock and looked around. It seemed that they were standing in the pile of fish.
Slowly, the predators appeared, and they were also in groups.
A large cod, which is more than one meter long, floats up to the surface. They do not scatter like capelin. Instead, they are lined up in tight strips, like a giant python that is several kilometers long and hundreds of meters wide, appearing. The fish gather and swarm up to prey on the surrounding capelin.
In this way, the cods continued to speed up and slow down, causing the fish to continue to twist, as if the giant python was twisting its body.
Qin Shiou pointed at some fish to his father. These fish were extremely fat, with the color on the upper part of the body gradually changing from brown to gray, and the abdomen fading off the grayish white: "That is the famous Atlantic cod, which was the most awesome cod in our fishing grounds in the past. There were so many, but now there are very few."
Qin's father said: "How big can this fish grow?"
"More than one meter long."
"It's so big." Qin's father exclaimed.
As soon as he finished speaking, a big fish that was probably four meters long suddenly jumped out of the water not far away. It had a particularly pointed fish mouth. After jumping out of the water, the dorsal fin stretched out, glided five or six meters on the water before falling back into the water.
"Atlantic Blue Mars" Qin Shiou answered his father's questions in advance. Sure enough, Qin's father shouted: "Oh my God, what kind of fish is this so big?"
Atlantic blue marlin is distributed in tropical and subtropical waters. Newfoundland fishing grounds are relatively rare. The waters of Daqin fishing grounds are too abundant, and the food contains the energy of the sea gods that can change the habits of species. Therefore, some rare fish species have gradually come to the fishing grounds and settle down.
Most of the fish in the ocean, especially the big fish, are accustomed to running around the world. They chase ocean currents and food for oceanic cruises. When they encounter a more suitable place to live, they will make a brief settlement.
After a blue marlin jumped out of the water, several more blue marlins jumped out. Qin Shiou released his consciousness of the sea god to see if there were any blue marlins coming. As a result, the water was too messy under the water to be viewed.
The fishermen celebrating with high-highs. They thought that a blue marlin was coming. Shaq glared at these guys and said, "You guys celebrate, these are all fishing ground pests."
Although Atlantic blue marlin is not listed as an endangered species, Greenpeace has listed them in the Seafood Red Book since 2010. Canada stipulates that Atlantic blue marlin caught within 200 seaboards on the coast need to be released, and these blue marlins cannot be caught.
Shaq calls them pests because they have too strong predation. Fry eats zooplankton and other similar eggs and fry. As they grow up, they will eat a variety of fish, including mackerel and tuna, squid and juvenile nearshore fish.
When they grow older, they will eat flat bonito, round bonito and bonito. When they grow three or four meters long, the recipe will be even more terrifying. At this time, they can eat as large as white four-fin swordfish, yellow-fin tuna and short tuna weighing 45 kilograms, and plunder fishing resources.
Sea monsters don't agree: "Man, they won't always stay in the waters of the sea. Sooner or later they will return to the deep sea. Wouldn't we be able to hunt at that time?"
The group chatted and planned how to catch blue marls, and more fish appeared. To be continued
