After hugging the tail of the fish

Chapter 50 Part 1: Seagrass Hammock

Woohoo, Brother Mermaid's lack of attention to detail has ruined his gentleness.

Things have come to this point, it's useless to blame Chi Yuan, and this can't be blamed on Big Brother Mermaid.

In the final analysis, it is still a communication problem. If Chi Yuan knew that it was used for sleeping, would he clean it up?

It's a pity that his seaweed hammock died before he could sleep on it.

No, he must sleep in a seaweed hammock tonight!

In order to make a seagrass hammock, he almost plucked all the seagrass near the coral reef hole, so he had to go a little further to see if there was any seagrass.

Of course, you have to fill your stomach before you go. How can you work hard if you don’t eat?

Sullenly, Yu Guiyang picked up the remains of seaweed and piled them at the entrance of the cave. These seaweeds can easily float up when they are broken, and they can also be used as dinner for small fish and shrimps in the shallow sea.

Then he sat on the ground and silently ate the grouper Chi Yuan brought back.

The taste is still as good as ever.

He glanced at Chi Yuan who was still staring blankly at the seaweed hammock, what were he doing in a daze, he hurried over to eat.

Chi Yuan observed carefully for a long time, but did not see what these seaweeds were used for.

But the little mermaid reacted violently, obviously he was very concerned about these seaweeds.

Are they used for hunting?

Hanging seaweed in the cave can indeed block the large marine life that drills into the coral reef hole, but it can only play a blocking role.

If you want to hunt these big guys, you can't do it with fragile seagrass alone. Their strength is enough to break through the seaweed and escape.

However, the little mermaid can take him to find what he wants to eat, and there is no need to arrange these things by himself.

A mere mermaid can only think of these things, after all hunting is his instinct and the skill he and the little mermaid rely on for survival.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't think that the seaweed carefully arranged by Yu Guiyang was not a trap, but a hammock for resting.

Cultural differences are reflected in this.

Just like now, Chi Yuan, who was called to have dinner, was thinking about where to catch the big fish for the little mermaid to make up for the loss of seaweed.

What Yu Guiyang thought about was, where to find some tough seaweed to fill in the missing part of the hammock.

The two mermaids have their own concerns, but they are surprisingly harmonious.

After dinner, Yu Guiyang flicked his tail, indicating that he was going out.

Chi Yuan naturally followed closely behind.

The coral reefs at night have a somewhat mysterious taste.

Many small nocturnal animals hiding here have started to get busy.

They have unique light-emitting devices, swaying around, and embellishing the coral reefs with sparkles.

Yu Guiyang and Chi Yuan strolled in this fluorescent sea area, and the bad mood brought about by the destruction of the seaweed hammock also improved a lot.

Think about it, after filling your stomach, how pleasant it is to be able to digest food in such a sea full of vitality.

But the comfort is the comfort, and the worry came late, because he saw a large piece of glowing coral.

Glowing corals, also known as coral fluorescence, are the last line of defense before corals die and bleach.When the coral glows, it means that the vitality of the coral polyp is very low and it may die at any time.

This has a lot to do with the greenhouse effect.

It took at least a hundred years for coral polyps to reproduce today's prosperous coral reefs through multiple generations.

They are selected in the vast sea; the reason for choosing this location is to take a fancy to the climate and water environment here, and take root here and pass it down from generation to generation.

Statistics show that the ocean absorbs more than 90.00% of the heat generated by climate change, and the greenhouse effect is most likely to affect the organisms in these shallow areas of the ocean.

The weakness of reef-building corals is also caused by changes in the surrounding ecosystem.

When these reef-building corals are on the verge of death, they will start to glow, which is actually to expel the algae in their bodies, reducing life consumption as much as possible.

As I said before, coral polyps and algae are in a state of endosymbiosis, and their cells are integrated and interdependent.

Now to expel these algae cells, one can imagine how much damage it will do to coral polyps.

And when they completely expel the algae, they will return to their original color, which is commonly known as "coral bleaching".

At that time, the coral reef will no longer glow, sinking lifelessly in the water.

Those marine organisms that depend on coral reefs to survive will lose their resting homes and have to go to other places to find new habitats.

Yu Guiyang sighed inwardly.

Although the glow of corals is beautiful, they are a warning to nature.

A quarter of the world's marine life lives in coral reefs. If coral reefs are lost, countless marine life in the world will lose their homes and become displaced.

At this moment, he noticed that Chi Yuan held his hand.

Tight, leaving no room for him to break free - although he didn't even think about breaking free.

He looked at Chi Yuan, but accidentally bumped into his gentle green eyes.

The pupils that don't contain any impurities, only his figure, are like a blue deep pool, as if they can drown people in it.

Tsk, should I say it or not, Brother Mermaid is really handsome.

I don't know which female mermaid is blessed to be his sister-in-law?

While thinking about it, Chi Yuan put his arm around his lower back.

Kissed his forehead deeply.

It was a comforting kiss, Yu Guiyang could feel it, Chi Yuan seemed to see that he was in a bad mood, and used this to comfort him.

In fact, there is no need for this. He just expressed his feelings when he saw the fluorescent coral. After all, environmental protection issues are commonplace, and it is useless for him to worry about the country and the people here.

Since it was useless, he naturally wouldn't bother too much.

With that strength, why not think about where to find his seaweed!

For Chi Yuan's comforting kiss, he is still very useful. Chi Yuan doesn't look like a mermaid who can comfort others, but he can do this for him.

"Miyue." Thank you, brother mermaid.

After a simple hug, Yu Guiyang dragged Chi Yuan to swim far away.

Finally found a patch of seagrass!

What surprised him even more was that there are not only abundant seaweeds here, but also a few sea eggplants with green hair hidden among the dense seaweeds!

Sea eggplants are sea cucumbers, but it does not refer to all sea cucumbers, but those without thorns, which is one of the light cucumbers mentioned before.

Sea cucumbers are divided into light ginseng and sea cucumber. Light ginseng is this kind of sea cucumber with a smooth surface, and sashimi is from Mama Lai.

Before Yu Guiyang ate bright ginseng and sea cucumber in the Ocean Basin, he felt that in terms of taste, the sea cucumber was a bit deeper.

Although the light ginseng has no thorns, the taste will be more comfortable, but the taste is a bit weak, not as fresh as sea cucumber.

Sea eggplant is a special kind of sea cucumber among light ginseng. It will emit green light when touched slightly. The locals also call it sea banana.

Yu Guiyang swam into the seaweed, pulled out the sea eggplants and shook them.

Sure enough, the green light on them is even stronger, which complements the seaweed next to them.

These sea eggplants became snacks for Yu Guiyang and Chi Yuan.

After eating the sea eggplant, he started to pull the seaweed. Seeing that the culprit, Chi Yuan, was still there motionless, he couldn't help shouting: "Chi Yuan!" Work done!

It's not that Chi Yuan doesn't want to help, but he can't figure out why the little mermaid does such useless work.

How can he make the little mermaid realize that the seaweed traps can't catch the big sea creatures?

He remembered that he seemed to have heard in the clan that some parents of mermaid cubs would let their children try to eat some slightly poisonous sea creatures, such as sea urchins or sea snakes.

Mermaid cubs are at the age of being curious about everything, and they will put everything they can catch into their mouths to eat.

In order to prevent them from eating something they shouldn't eat by mistake, their parents will use this method to let the children taste the pain and warn them to be cautious about the food they eat.

Chi Yuan thought, maybe he should support the little mermaid's approach and affirm the little mermaid's efforts.

Then, after the little mermaid fails to hunt, teach him the correct method and comfort him by the way.

With Chi Yuan's help, the seaweed was quickly uprooted, and after a while the two mermaids pulled out the seaweed and it was almost bald.

Yu Guiyang reckoned that it was enough, so he mercifully left a few seaweeds to let them recuperate.

However, after weeding this time, he accidentally discovered a nest of blue crabs hidden in the roots of the seaweed.

The scientific name of the blue crab is the serrated blue crab, which is a very delicious swimming crab.

It is blue in color, and as its name suggests, it likes to hide in seaweeds of a similar color to it.

There are a pair of male and female blue crabs in this nest of blue crabs, and more than a dozen young crabs, which can be said to be a big family.

Yu Guiyang arrested the parents of the young crabs, but the young crabs did not touch them and let them continue to grow.

The spawning time of blue crabs is about August to October.

Generally speaking, blue crabs can grow from eggs to young crabs in less than a month. It can be estimated that the months here should be between September and November.

Yu Guiyang prefers November because he can feel the temperature drop, which was not so obvious when he was in the tropics before, but the temperature changed significantly in the subtropical and temperate seas.

After a while, I'm afraid they will see the frozen sea.

With this smooth fish tail, maybe gliding on the ice is not impossible?

Before going back, Yu Guiyang and Chi Yuan enjoyed a delicious blue crab meal.

There is no need to worry about the young crabs’ difficulty in surviving after their parents are gone. The vitality of the crabs is very strong. If they can grow into young crabs, they already have the ability to hunt on their own.

In fact, judging from the appearance, the juvenile crab is almost the same size as the adult blue crab.

And generally speaking, female crabs and male crabs do not live together, and young crabs leave their parents early.

They will huddle here, mostly because the presence of aquatic grasses can help them avoid predators, and at the same time attract small molluscs and crustaceans for them to prey on.

Crabs don't understand love.

As soon as he released the young crabs, they fled away quickly, completely ignoring him and Chi Yuan, the murderous pair of enemies.

Simply ruthless.

The author has something to say: I’ve reviewed it, and I mentioned ginseng and sea cucumber when Yangyang was still in the Ocean Basin!

Coral polyps were also mentioned before, but bleaching and glowing were not mentioned.
