Geoduck, a species called Pacific Mill Clam, is a high-end seafood that is popular in the Far East, including Chinese and Japanese.

As can be seen from the scientific name, its origin is in the Pacific region, and its specific origin is in the coastal areas of the United States and Canada.

In the past, North American residents did not eat geoducks, so geoducks grew well. However, 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 exhausted, it was also one of the commercial species introduced by the government to resolve the fishing ground crisis at that time.

Unlike the delicate big turf, geoduck survived in Newfoundland fishing grounds. Moreover, because the ocean here has the intersection of cold currents and warm currents, the food is richer, and geoduck grows quite optimistically.

But when it comes to harvest season, a problem arises. Geoducks in the Pacific can live in shallows, such as the inner sea waters of Putert Bay, Washington State, and the British Columbia fishing area.

But when they arrived in the Atlantic Ocean, they changed their habits, ran to the deep sea, and lived in the sand bottom. This way, fishing costs were high. When catching, they had to use a compressor to blow away the sand on the sea floor, and then sent divers to pick it up. The labor cost was 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 it enough? Is there any profit to make?

The trick happened. In 1996, the China Fisheries Bureau introduced this kind of sea mussel from North America and began to breed it manually.

Moreover, there are many sea areas in northern China suitable for its growth. In this way, as long as you introduce planting musses and carry out artificial seedling production, the hatching rate of muss seedlings can reach 80%-90%. Then plant it in the fishing ground and wait for harvest.

As for the high labor costs when harvesting? Ha. Sorry, brothers, all the labor costs in China are cheaper. Besides, geoduck seems to be brothers from the socialist camp. When they arrive in the coastal areas of China, they will not survive in the deep sea...

The Newfoundland government was glaring at that time, and did it still grow geoduck? It turns out that this thing is growing well in Newfoundland fishery. What should I use to compete with Chinese goods? People don’t need to freight for labor costs, but they don’t need shipping fees. Newfoundland can vomit blood if they can fight for price wars.

Later, geoduck became a chicken rib in Newfoundland fishing grounds. It was a pity to eat it without any taste, so the government simply ignored it. If there was a fishing ground, it would be packaged as high-end ingredients to transport it to the Far East. If it was not fished, then it would be fine.

This is why there is geoduck in Daqin Fishery. Qin Shiou turned around the fishing ground and found that there are still many of them, ranging from near-sea to deep sea. The waters of the near-sea are geoduck seedlings, while the deep sea is adult geoduck.

Adult geoduck is a big guy. The shell can reach 40 cm in length and weigh nearly ten kilograms!

Qin Shiou saw many such large clams in the deep sea area. Of course, this is normal. After all, geoduck is an old birthday star who can survive for 150 years.

Of course, most geoducks are about one kilogram, and this size is the best. When the meat is the tenderest, Qin Shiou sent a calamari troupe and caught a dozen to the beach. He went to pick it up and cook it to the evening to eat.

The unexpected gain of geoduck was discovered - this was a real surprise. For the Newfoundland government, geoduck was a useless rib, and for Qin Shiou, this was a treasure.

Geoduck is expensive, and Newfoundland's waters produce less deep-sea pollution, pure wild, pure natural, and higher prices. If you only look at the price of meat, it is more expensive than bluefin tuna.

In this way, when the harvest season comes, these geoducks in the Daqin Fishery can increase their income a lot.

As for the fishing problem that the Newfoundland government is most troublesome, it is very simple for him. The calamari squid troop is enough to send you out, and it is no problem to catch 5,000 kilograms a day.

When he was in a good mood, Qin Shiou began to input sea god energy to elephants geoducks. These big clams are just planting clams, and they have to rely on them to reproduce.

Apart from the unexpected surprise of geoduck, the fishing grounds have not changed much in other aspects. It is just that the fish are bigger. It is estimated that cod will be sold tomorrow spring.

The black butterfly shells survived well in the coral reef sea area. Qin Shiou looked at it and found that some of the big shells had round black pearls. In his eyes, this was not a black bead, but a golden gold bead.

Seeing the black butterfly shell, Qin Shiou couldn't help but think of the huge scallops in George's shallow. The thing tasted really good. I had the opportunity to see if it could be introduced.

The gooseneck barnacles are also good on the coral reef and have abundant food. Qin Shiou is about to guide them to the dock when they are about to reproduction.

For sharks, whales and boats, gooseneck barnacles are parasites, but for piers, this thing is a protective clothing that can help piers resist waves. In addition, they grow on piers and are easier to pick.

Saying goodbye to the giant algae jungle at the northwest end of the island has added many fish. Qin Shiou is surprised that this is the territory of the sea pythons, why do these fish dare to survive here?

The sunfish gave him the answer, and the common feature of these fish's survival is that they surround the sunfish.

Qin Shiou approached the sunfish and could feel through the consciousness of the sea god that this ugly thing could secrete an enzyme.

These enzymes will not be inactive after leaving sunfish. They can survive in seawater for a period of time. Other fish swallow these enzymes and can be used to treat injuries.

Even the sea pythons run around the sunfish territory from time to time, not to hunt or patrol, but to swallow enzymes. Sunfish are also very popular with sea pythons. When they encounter sea pythons, they will even go head-on to stay with the sea python for a while.

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

In this way, the sea python became the bodyguard of the sunfish, and the two sides formed an interdependent relationship. The sunfish cured the sea python and provided protection for the sunfish.

With sunfish, the giant algae jungle has become another major habitat for fish, including four-fingered strapless, sea bass, silver pomfret, Newfoundland redfish, mackerel, Atlantic halibut, golden-eyed bream, stinger, silver-scale salmon, etc., and they can 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 Imperial Army. Now, there are huge fish schools composed of five or six hundred bluefin tunas.

The bluefin tunas survive here with a lot of food and few natural enemies. Under the leadership of the big green turtle, they can swim slowly without having to swim quickly to avoid enemies like they did in George's shoals.

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

The sea god consciousness is now cruising faster. After about half a circle in the fishing ground, Qin Shiou retracted the sea god consciousness.

The fishing ground has no crisis, but it has given him a lot of surprises. Of course, he has a crisis now and must resolve these crises as soon as possible, that is, say goodbye to the ownership of the fishing ground in the west of the island.
