After failing the college entrance examination, I relied on fishing to reach the top of my life

Abalone has been a seafood with extremely high economic value since ancient times. In addition to being one of the four traditional seafood in my country, it is also listed as the first of the eight seafood delicacies!

There are many kinds of them, among which there are more than ten kinds that can be used as economic fish species. The most famous ones are the net abalone and Jipin abalone produced in Xiaori. Other countries also have rare species such as black gold abalone and blue abalone.

my country's abalone has not yet formed a large-scale culture, and basically relies on sea harvesting. For example, the abalone produced in the Paracel Islands is a variegated abalone. Because it has dozens of small holes on its body, it is also called a nine-hole snail.

They like to live in rock crevices with clear water, which makes it difficult for fishermen to pick them, so the price remains high all year round.

If what the fisherman Su Mo had just rescued was true, then this abalone could really be said to be very rare.

After the sun completely set, Su Mo sent the fisherman couple home and immediately drove the boat back.

In fact, abalone is a nocturnal creature, so the best time to catch it is at night. However, the water here is full of rock crevices and aquatic plants. The nearby fishermen have to be careful when going to the sea during the day. Let them come at night. It is really You are kidding with your life.

Although Su Mo had not slept for two days and two nights at this time, he still insisted on going into the sea regardless of Zhang Yuemeng's and others' dissuasion.

In order not to waste the CD of the bubble generator, he brought a large net bag with him this time, and soon he dived to the rocky area more than 20 meters away, and he immediately saw several black sea urchins and a piece of black sea urchin adhering to the rock wall next to him. A small abalone.

However, this abalone was too small, only about three centimeters when touched. If it were a fisherman, he would have caught it back without hesitation, but Su Mo didn't even think of swimming over to take a look.

Looking around, he found that there were indeed a lot of abalones around, but most of them were similar to the one just now. It would be okay to sell this kind of abalone for some money, but if you want to rely on it to win the qualification of an Olympic supplier, you will definitely be betrayed. Laughing your ass off.

Seeing this, Su Mo started searching around. According to the fisherman, there was a large hole covered by aquatic plants nearby, and the one-headed abalone got into the hole.

It took him a while, but he finally reached the hole. He immediately pushed aside the water plants and dived into the dark hole.

The hole, which can only accommodate two adults walking side by side, is filled with thick aquatic plants, which are densely packed like a forest, and the surrounding space becomes smaller as you go down.

For some fishermen, this is definitely a risk, but for Su Mo, it is not a problem at all. Even if he gets entangled in aquatic plants, he does not have to worry about drowning. He has enough time to cut off the aquatic plants with a knife.

After diving for more than ten minutes, Su Mo had reached the 40-meter-deep sea, but still did not find the abalone that the fishermen said. However, it was obvious that although the number of abalone living here had decreased, they were larger than the ones above. Be bigger.

This at least shows that the probability of large abalone appearing is much higher as you go down, which undoubtedly gives Su Mo some confidence.

Soon, he saw an abalone that was about ten centimeters long. Of course, one abalone didn't count, but four abalone should barely meet the standard.

"Catch it first!"

Su Mo quickly swam to the rock wall. The abalone was obviously very sensitive to the surrounding water flow, but it had no intention of running away after being frightened. Instead, it stopped motionless in place, as if trying to disguise itself as a stone.

If it could talk, it would be praying in its heart at this time: "Can't see me, can't see me..."

But this might be able to deceive other sea creatures, but Su Mo would not be fooled and stretched out his hand to catch it.

Unexpectedly, his casual pull failed to pull the abalone up, and the abalone was still firmly attached to the rock wall.

"Hey, they say abalone has strong adsorption power, and it certainly lives up to its reputation!"

His judgment was not wrong at all. The adsorption force generated by a frightened abalone is said to be as high as 200 kilograms. When fishermen encounter this situation, they will use a crowbar to pry it, but even if they have tools, this is not easy. Things often happen and I accidentally hurt myself.

But Su Mo didn't have to go to such trouble. He just increased the strength on his hand and easily pulled up the abalone and threw it into the net bag wrapped around his waist.

After tying the bag, he continued to dive down, and along the way he found more than a dozen abalone that reached the standard of four-headed abalone, and even a two-headed abalone!

Of course Su Mo caught them all!

This harvest was actually not small, but Su Mo was not satisfied and insisted on finding a bigger abalone.

After diving for a while, the water in front suddenly became turbulent.

"Why are there turbulent currents on the bottom of the sea?"

Su Mo's heart moved, and he immediately swam forward in the direction of the water flow. Soon, another dark hole appeared in front of him, and the destination of the water flow was right there!

He was not afraid at all, and could even be said to be eager to get in. In just a moment, the originally narrow waterway suddenly became clearer, and a very large space appeared in front of his eyes, but it was obviously still in the "cave". " inside, because he could see the rock wall not far away.

"I just drilled into a water channel formed by a rock fissure, and this seems to be its end point. Is this a large hole in the undersea rock mountain that was corroded by sea water?"

Looking at the surrounding environment, Su Mo made the correct judgment.

The water quality of this naturally formed space is very good, and there are many fish. The bottom is covered with large scallops up to 10 cm in length, like a tawny carpet.

"Ouch, this is the Chlamydomonas scallop!"

Su Mo's eyes lit up, knowing that these were good things that could be processed into scallops.

Dried scallops are also among the eight delicacies of the sea. But Qiyuan Group has no business in this area, so he has no idea of ​​collecting them.

"It's better to hurry up and find an abalone! The shrimp pots I put there are still waiting for me to go back and collect them."

Thinking of this, Su Mo began to search the big cave intently.

Soon, he understood that the previous fisherman had not lied to him, because there was not only an abalone here, but also a bigger one!

It was a big abalone with a slightly black body. Su Mo visually estimated that its body length was over 60 centimeters, which was much larger than two basketballs!

Perhaps because it has survived for too many years, this big abalone is lying lazily on the rock wall at this time, not wanting to move at all.

"I'm afraid this is the legendary half-headed abalone!"
