Super Zoo

Su Ming deliberately used his mental power to catch a few crucian carp, and found that the growth rate of the fish was somewhat higher than expected, or in other words, faster than common sense.

Crucian carp is the slowest in growth among the four domestic fishes. Artificially bred crucian carp can be marketed at more than half a catty, and one catty is considered large.

If it is purely wild crucian carp, one pound is relatively rare.

Shuijun Lake is now connected to Huating Reservoir. The water quality on both sides is similar. It may be artificially cultured, but the fish quality is not much different from wild fish. This is one of the reasons why the fish from Huating Reservoir is so popular.

Within a week, these crucian carp fry, which were originally only about two taels, now averaged two to five.

Fish grow faster when they are young and slower as they get older. For example, if a small crucian carp weighing two ounces eats well and has a good rest, it can gain one ounce of meat in a month, but a crucian carp weighing one pound may not gain one ounce of meat in half a year.

Even so, the growth rate of the fish in Shuijun Lake is a bit scary.

At this rate, crucian carp will almost generally weigh more than half a catty within half a year at most, and all major fish species will be ready for sale on the table.

Su Ming estimated there were several reasons.

First, snakehead cake is indeed a sacred food for fishes. If they eat well, they will grow well; secondly, the water quality of Shuijun Lake has been greatly improved, and various fish, including shrimps, soldiers, crabs, loaches, eels, etc., have formed in it. A good ecosystem means a good living environment.

In addition, the contribution of Friends of Animals should also be indispensable. Snapping turtles, bees, cats and dogs, all those who come into contact with animal friends will undergo some positive evolution. The fish in Shuijun Lake have been baptized by Su Ming's spiritual power. Of course, they are also different from ordinary ones. The fish are different.

Speaking of ‘evolution’, the fastest evolution in the lake during this period is the big head catfish.

The size of this guy is close to a foot and a half. Although it is not that big among catfish, compared with its original small body of less than half a foot, it is already a giant at this time.

Compared with other fish, the big-headed catfish not only eats well and lives well, but also has an advantage that other fish cannot match: it has been with Su Ming for the longest time, and it is the highest in the lake in terms of favorability and intelligence. , and of course he became the steward of the lake.

Under the nourishment of power, the big-meat catfish grew fatter and fatter.

Su Ming squatted by the lake, stretched out a finger, nodded the ball-sized head of the big-headed catfish, and said with a smile: "Be careful, don't get caught and stewed into a fish head hot pot!"

The big-head catfish didn't care. In Shuijun Lake, it could mobilize a large group of followers at any time. As long as Su Ming didn't eat the fish-head hot pot, it was absolutely safe.

After finding out the growth of fish in Shuijun Lake, Su Ming decided to further increase the amount of food he fed.

After all, the little nurses have limited time and can only spare half a day during the working day. They can sell two tons of feed a month to make ends meet. This feed is not enough to feed a hundred acres of fish.

Anyway, the zoo has plenty of manpower, so Su Ming simply asked Master Peng, Lao Zhoutou and Xiao Li to join the feed sales team. Their three shifts, plus three nurses' shifts, can basically guarantee that there will always be visitors during the zoo's opening hours. You can buy feed and there is no problem of stalling.

After experimenting with this method for another week, Su Ming was surprised to find that not only did he make back the money he paid for the goods, he also made some profit!

It seems that I can make a net profit of more than 40 cents for every kilogram of feed. Even if the fish grow bigger in the future and it is not enough to just rely on tourists to feed the fish, I can also use the money I earn to hire people to feed the fish.

After settling the accounts, Su Ming was in a good mood. He took a milk bottle and squatted by the lake with a group of children to feed the fish.

Seeing the innocent smile on the child's face, Su Ming felt a little embarrassed and thought, am I too evil-minded?

It doesn't matter whether you are a black heart or a red heart. What is important is that everyone is happy, no matter the fish in Shuijun Lake, the zoo employees, or the tourists!

But in fact, the Dharma for both safety and security in the world will not fail the Tathagata or your Majesty? If someone is happy, someone must be unhappy!

Boss Zhou of Huating Fishing Company has been very unhappy recently!

About a week ago, Zhou Jin felt that something was wrong!

After feeding for several days, not a few fry showed up. Zhou Jin initially thought it was because of the weather. The fish didn't open their mouths and he didn't take it too seriously.

But a few days later, after the weather improved, the situation remained the same. Every time we put in several boats of feed, there was still no movement in the lake.

Zhou Jin has been raising fish for more than a year or two. He is extremely experienced in this field and he immediately noticed something was wrong! Even an abandoned wild pond would not be so lifeless.

This is just like people. When a person is in a bad mood, he or she will eat less at most, and it is impossible not to eat all the time.

If you don't eat all the time, it's not called being in a bad mood, it's called committing suicide!

Of course the fish won’t commit suicide!

He thought there was some kind of fish disease that caused fish in a large area not to eat, so he quickly sent Baldhead to lead people to fish out a batch of fry for inspection!

As a result, Bald Head cast several nets in succession and only caught two or three small fish and shrimps!

Zhou Jin looked at the empty fishing nets, his heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down his spine. He hurriedly jumped on a boat with a trawl, sailed the boat himself, and took a spin in the lake!

The tugboat was large and powerful, and the trawl net behind it was strong enough. However, the final result was no different from before. All the fish under the water seemed to have disappeared overnight!

"Fuck! How many times have I told you to look at the fish, look at the fish! Tell me, where is the fish?"

Zhou Jin looked at the empty fishing net, with veins popping out on his forehead. He kicked the bald man over, grabbed his collar, and shouted in a distorted voice.

The bald man opened his eyes wide and stammered: "Brother Zhou... we have been living by the lake... patrolling every day, there is no way anyone is stealing fish..."

"Then tell me, where is the fish! It has wings and can fly?!"

"Are they those water birds..." The bald man's eyes lit up when he heard the word "wings", and he looked at the bushes on the shore tactfully.

He has been staying here all this time. Although he sleeps most of the time and can't be said to be fulfilling his duties, there are so many fish fry in the lake. It's okay to leave a few or dozens of them. How could someone be under their noses? All the fry were stolen from below!

"Fuck you! Even if there are a thousand times more waterfowl, they won't be able to eat that many fish!"

Zhou Jin pointed at the lake angrily, "Go, go into the water and look for me!"

The bald man and a few boys went down to the lake with diving equipment and wandered around the water where the fish fry were stocked. Finally, they finally determined a fact that made Zhou Jindan even twitch: the fish fry were indeed gone!

"Brother Zhou, there are several big holes under the fishing net over there! The fish must have escaped through that hole!"
