Chapter 20 Clues to the Fishing Grounds

Li Xuan frowned slightly, "You dare to catch fish you have never seen before? Are you afraid of it being a poisonous fish?"

In the vast ocean, there are various beautiful fish that make people wonder after seeing it. They are colorful and in different shapes.

But those fish are bright and not just for the sake of good looks. The bright appearance is its warning color. Generally, the more bright the sea fish, the higher the risk factor, most of them are highly toxic.

Of course, not every brightly colored sea fish is highly poisonous.

The depths of the seabed are very dark, and some fish are very weak. In order to continue to survive on the seabed and prevent other large underwater creatures from swallowing it, after billions of years of evolution, different colors have evolved from fish. When enemies approach, they will gather together, just like a large colored light flashing, which can scare the enemy away and also serve as a warning.

There are also some colorful fish that form their own colors according to the surrounding environment, so that when they encounter enemies, they can integrate well with the environment and play a "invisible" role.

Chen Bin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xuan, it's not the first day I went out to sea to fish, will I be bitten by the fish?"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "Show me the fish."

Chen Bin nodded quickly, then turned around and trotted towards the boat, and soon ran over with a washbasin.

Li Xuan lowered his head and looked into the basin, and soon said "Huh".

This fish looks very strange. It has a flat body, a very wide abdomen, and a pointed mouth. It looks a bit like a butterfly fish.

But the color is wrong. The fish is orange-red all over, with multiple rings on the side of the body, and a small blue ring on the shoulders.

"What kind of fish is this? It looks like a basketball. Could it be a basketball fish?" a fisherman smiled.

Li Xuan said, "This is a shoulder ring thorn-covered fish."

"Is it valuable?" Li Xuan said expectantly.

Li Xuan shook his head, "Shoulder ring thorn fish is rare here, but in the south and western Pacific Ocean, there are a lot of them between the Tropic of Cancer, and even in Southeast Asia, there are large-scale production areas, so the price is relatively cheap. Moreover, this fish is not a edible fish, but an ornamental fish. The orange-red background color is a relatively common color. You should be able to sell it at an ornamental fish shop for 200 yuan."

When Chen Bin heard this, he was extremely disappointed. He said oh, "I thought this fish was very valuable. It was only worth 200 for a long time."

Li Xuan smiled and asked, "Chen Bin, can you tell me where you caught this fish?"

Chen Bin pointed and put it in, "Starting from here and sailing there for about two hours. Why, Brother Xuan, do you like this fish?"

Li Xuan smiled and shook his head. The shoulder ring thorn fish is worthless. He is not interested in the shoulder ring thorn fish, but the environment in which the shoulder ring thorn fish survives is a treasure land for the fishermen.

Shoulder ring thorn fish have high environmental requirements. They generally live in seabed rocks, coral reefs and other offshore areas with hard bottoms. Adult fish in natural habitats usually move in waters of five to fifteen meters underwater, and the deepest is generally not more than thirty meters. They gather in seabed caves in pairs at night, and forage alone or in pairs during the day.

Shoulder ring thorn fish are omnivorous fish and have extremely high requirements for food. They cannot meet their nutritional needs by one or two foods. They need to frequently eat a variety of plankton, sponges, as well as coral polyps, sea squirts, algae, aquatic plants and various small fish to survive.

It can be said that finding a fish with a shoulder ring and a thorn-covered fish means discovering a fishing ground with abundant aquatic products.

"I can't say I like it, so I just ask casually. This kind of fish is not common here." Li Xuan responded with a smile, thinking in his heart. He had to take some time to go to the sea area that Chen Bin said. The fishery resources in the Yulong Bay waters are becoming increasingly barren, and it is not a trivial matter to find a fishery with rich fishery resources.

Chen Bin did not doubt that he was there. He held the fish and chatted with Li Xuan for a few words, and said that there was something else at home and he wanted to go back first.

Li Xuan nodded with a smile, then looked at Boss Tang, and said with a little apology: "Uncle Tang, I will salvage the dragon beard vegetables tomorrow, and I will prepare diving equipment when I go back tonight, so we will leave first."

Boss Tang said indifferently: "Go, see you tomorrow."

The diving equipment Li Xuan mentioned is the most simple submersible submersible equipment that has long been eliminated by the market. There is no oxygen tank, just a breathing mask and an air machine. When you want to dive, you will take a breathing mask and leave the air machine on the boat. The amount of meters you can dive depends entirely on how long the tube connecting the oxygen machine and the breathing mask is.

While fiddling with the air machine, Li's father said to Li Xuan with a smile: "This air machine is much more durable than those oxygen tanks. You can stay underwater for more than ten hours at a time. Unlike those oxygen tanks, you will lose air if you have a bottle of one and half an hour. I will go down tomorrow. When I am tired, I will change you. One air machine for the father and son is enough."

Li Xuan naturally looked down on this inconvenient underwater respirator. He shook his head and said, "I won't go down tomorrow. I have something else to do after I take you there."

Li's father frowned when he heard this, "What's more important than making money?" In Li's father's opinion, the five-dollar dragon beard vegetable was completely made.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "I saw Chen Bin catch a thorn fish today, and I want to go to that sea area tomorrow."

Li's father was stunned, and then his face changed, "That kind of fish is valuable?"

Li Xuan shook his head, "Shoulder ring thorn fish is not worth it. Generally, ornamental fish shops only sell for a few hundred yuan per tail. The purchase price is 100 or 200 yuan, which is considered very good. The main reason is that I suspect that there is a fishing ground with abundant fishery resources."

Li Xuan told Li's father about his guess.

Li's father was stunned when he heard this. This kid is so capable now that he has no one to pass by. Can he find a fishing ground just by seeing a fish? This ability seems a bit incredible to Li's father.

"Okay, since you have your own arrangements, then follow your own arrangements." It seems that reading more books is indeed useful, and Li's father thought happily.

......

The next morning, when the genius was in a daze, Li Xuan was shouted out of the quilt by Li's father.

As soon as the breakfast was finished, fishermen walked to Li Xuan's house one after another, and there were not one or two people, one group after another, and even Village Chief Zhao was there.

Chen Bin's loud voice even shouted loudly as soon as he came, "Brother Xuan, when will we set off?"

Although the other fishermen did not shout out, their faces were full of expectations, and they were obviously waiting for Li Xuan to take them to the sea with lush dragon beard vegetables.

Li Xuan stood up with a smile, "Since everyone can't wait, let's go."
