Chapter 137 Yellowfin Tuna

"Sailfish, swordfish and tuna?"

Li Fangfang opened her eyes wide, "I seem to have heard of it, but I don't seem to remember clearly..."

"I know tuna!"

Zhao Hao hurriedly said: "I ate it in a Japanese grocery store, and it tasted bland, like a chicken eye."

"A local tyrant?"

Han Hanhua teased: "You can still afford Japanese food. Poor kids like me can only boil water and make steamed buns."

"You bastard!"

"Okay, let's listen to Chen Fan first." Ji Yun couldn't help but said.

"Because I haven't met them before, let me briefly introduce them. Sailfish and swordfish are the bullies in the sea. The long sword on their mouths allows them to quickly clear the sea water when swimming, and the propulsion provided by the wide tail fin , so that their instantaneous speed can reach 190 kilometers an hour."

"Fuck!"

"190 kilometers per hour? How about driving a high-speed train?"

Both Zhao Hao and Han Hanhua were stunned.

Actually it does.

Sailfish are five meters long. If they swim with all their strength, they may even be afraid of themselves.

On July 1967, 7, during the 6nd dive of the Alvin, the world's first manned deep submersible, it was accidentally hit by a flying swordfish at a depth of 202 meters. The swordfish pierced the submersible. On the surface, the Alvin was forced to cancel the plan and float up urgently.

"Compared with sailfish and swordfish, tuna is smaller in size and has a smooth and streamlined body. It is also one of the fastest swimming pelagic fish. Because its gill muscles have degenerated, it can only take impact breathing. Keep your mouth open, swim fast, let fresh sea water rush into your gills to get oxygen, and swim at a speed of up to 75 kilometers per hour."

"75 kilometers per hour, flying fish swordfish 180 kilometers, then flying fish is only more than 50 kilometers per hour..."

Li Fangfang looked worried and said: "Then why can't the flying fish escape?"

"So I can only fly."

Chen Fan's face showed a hint of admiration, "Hundreds of millions of years ago, there must have been a flying fish that refused to admit defeat, and it jumped out of the water at the moment when its life was about to end.

The predator's downpour is gone, as if entering another world.The icy air brushed over its body, it spread its fins against the wind, and found itself flying!

Just like that, Flying Fish escaped unharmed.

Later, more and more similar species learned to "fly".Their fins eventually became a pair of invisible wings. "

"It's not easy..."

Zhao Hao was also in awe, and said with emotion: "This is what I learned from books, is it natural selection?"

"You only understand now?"

Han Hanhua looked contemptuous.

"Hua Zi, what's going on with you today, why do you always have trouble with me?"

The two quarreled again.

Ji Yun asked curiously, "Then, will the flying fish be safe?"

"uncertain."

Chen Fan smiled wryly: "In the sea, there are flying fish, swordfish and tuna, and above the sea is the territory of flying birds, so they will naturally not miss the lunch delivered to your door.

Such as seagulls, frigatebirds, especially frigatebirds. As a seabird, its feathers are not waterproof. It is difficult to take off when the feathers get wet, so it is very reserved about entering the water to hunt fish.However, it is ferocious and can attack other fishing birds to obtain second-hand food. However, the most enjoyable thing is waiting for the entrance of flying fish in the sky. The flying fish jumps to the sea surface and throws itself into the trap. "

"The flying fish is too difficult..."

"Yeah, I've been attacked from both sides."

"I don't know, we seem to eat flying fish too."

For a moment, several people didn't know what to say.

"Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic. In addition to flying, another magic weapon for flying fish to fight against fate is their super fecundity. Every April and May is the breeding season for flying fish. They will gather into huge schools and go to sea areas suitable for spawning.

Flying fish eggs have filamentous protrusions on their surface that are perfect for sticking to other objects.At the spawning grounds, they scour the surface for every floating object and hang their eggs on it until it sinks to the bottom of the ocean.

Therefore, it is very dangerous for a small boat to encounter a school of flying fish that are spawning.Because if the fish eggs hanging on the bottom of the boat are not cleaned up in time, the boat will eventually capsize because of its unbearable weight. "

"Fuck!"

Zhao Hao was taken aback.

"So cruel?"

"En." Chen Fan nodded, suddenly, he turned around and said, "Just here, get off the net."

"???"

"Amazing, Fanzi."

Han Hanhua was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed: "Being our tour guide while not forgetting to be the captain, absolutely."

"How about someone else can earn 700 to [-] million yuan through the Internet?"

"The squad leader is really amazing."

Li Fangfang said with a smile.

"Where, if you have stayed at the beach for a long time, you will know so much."

Chen Fan waved his hand.

"Fanzi, you are too modest. I have been at the beach for so long, why don't you understand hahaha?" Sun Biao said suddenly.

It caused a burst of laughter from everyone on board.

"I don't know what the harvest is like this time?"

"Xiaofan went out, needless to say, he must have reaped a lot."

"Yes."

The crew members chattered, and the ship was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After about ten minutes, the fishing net was pulled up again.

"I rely on!"

Zhao Hao stared wide-eyed, turned around to look at Chen Fan, and said, "Another full net?"

"Fanzi, this must be at least ten thousand catties, right?"

"almost."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Luck, luck, look inside the net, guess what kind of fish it is?"

"Guess what fish it is?"

The attention of several people was immediately diverted, and they all looked into the fishing net.

In the fishing net, there are not many kinds of fish, it seems that there are only two kinds.

One kind of fish is relatively small, with a spindle-shaped body, and there are many of them, almost all of them. The other kind of fish is much larger, just like torpedoes. Although the number is relatively small, it is very conspicuous because of its shape.

But Zhao Hao and the others still couldn't recognize them.

"Reminder, I just mentioned the larger fish."

Chen Fan laughed.

"Just said that?"

"What fish did you mention just now? It seems to be flying fish, swordfish, and tuna..."

Li Fangfang was thoughtful.

"Could it be tuna?"

Ji Yun was the first to react.

"That's right, tuna." Chen Fan let out a breath, and said, "No wonder the shoals of flying fish ran desperately just now. It turned out that the one chasing them was tuna."

"This is tuna!"

Zhao Hao had an eye-opening look, "It's really big, it's at least one meter, almost two meters?"

"This is actually the smallest tuna."

Chen Fan said something.

"What, is this still small?"

"This is considered medium. In fact, tuna is a general term. It does not only refer to a single fish species. It includes yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, bluefin tuna, albacore tuna, skipjack tuna and masu tuna.

The size of all tuna families is not small. For example, the yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna in the tuna are between 1 and 2 meters in length, while the Atlantic bluefin tuna is more than 3 meters in length, which is a giant in the ocean.

Atlantic bluefin tuna ranks first, Pacific bluefin tuna ranks second, southern bluefin tuna and bigeye tuna rank third, yellowfin tuna ranks fifth, albacore tuna ranks sixth, and skipjack tuna is the smallest.

In this fishing net is yellowfin tuna. "
