Chapter 66: Species Abundance
Of course, in recent years, China has become the top priority in the catering industry. Europeans and Americans have also begun to fish for sea cucumbers and freeze them and sent them to China. This is a very popular food in China.
However, it is obvious that the sea cucumbers that Jiang Hai and the others caught were not ready to be sold, because Edward just wanted to check the marine resources, so it did not freeze the sea cucumbers, but soaked in the sea water, which prevents the sea cucumber from self-dissolving.
The autolysis phenomenon of sea cucumbers is mainly because after the sea cucumber leaves the sea water, something called autolysin will be produced in the body. From 6 to 7 hours, sea cucumbers will melt themselves into liquid, turning into water, shadowless and shaped, which is also a legend.
Sea urchins and sea cucumbers are not eaten by Europeans and Americans, but Jiang Hai ate them. These things are destined to be his supper.
In addition to sea urchins and sea cucumbers, there are also many delicious food left in this sink.
Crab, Jiang Hai used to like to eat the most in China, but this thing has always been quite expensive in China. After coming to the United States, he had not had time to eat it. Unexpectedly, he could start eating meat today.
There are about a dozen crabs here, and the largest one is about one pound.
Jiang Hai also knows this kind of crab, the most common type of crab. When buying sea crabs in China, it basically refers to the crab, because other crabs are either not edible or difficult to catch.
"Crabs are divided into five types: walking crabs, swimming crabs, cave crabs, hidden crabs and symbiotic crabs. The big crabs, like the famous killer crabs, are walking crabs. However, this crab is too big and strong, and it is just walking under the sea, so it is not easy to catch. Swimming crabs refer to this kind of shuttle crabs, which is also the only swimming crab. It is the only one in the crab family who can swim. There are also many cave crabs, but we usually are on the shore.
It can also be seen that these crabs are basically terrestrial or semi-terrestrial, and it is difficult to see in the deep sea. Look, these are frog crabs, these are quilt crabs, these are hidden crabs, they are hidden crabs, they are hidden crabs, they are petal crabs, they are hidden crabs, but the taste is not too good... Symbiosis crabs are not easy to catch. In addition to some hermit crabs, there must be some shells in them." Seeing that Jiang Hai seemed to be interested in crabs, Filimon here also explained with a smile.
Although Felimmon is a professional cowboy, he also has some understanding of marine creatures, after all, he is a person who has run over the boat.
Seeing that the boss was interested in these things, he introduced them to Jiang Hai.
After introducing the crab, he began to introduce the shrimp. After all, shrimps and crabs are not separated.
There are many types of shrimp here. At a glance, there are six types. The most common one is a red shrimp, which is about ten centimeters long. Jiang Hai is very familiar with this shrimp, Arctic ice shrimp, that is, Arctic sweet shrimp, which tastes very good.
In addition to this kind of shrimp, there are also green shrimps, which are a circle larger than Arctic sweet shrimps. This shrimp is prawns, which Jiang Hai has eaten before.
In addition, Jiang Hai also knows shrimp crawlers, that is, mantis shrimp. This kind of shrimp that is not like shrimps is also many in Ice City, and it can be eaten all year round and tastes good, so Jiang Hai also likes it very much.
Apart from these three types of shrimp, there is only one type of shrimp Jiang Hai. Lobster, the legendary Maine lobster, well, it is actually better to call it Boston lobster, but this shrimp is obviously a shrimp, from beginning to end, only about ten centimeters, not much bigger than crayfish, and probably no meat. Speaking of lobster, Jiang Hai remembers that when he went into the sea last time, he saw a lot. It seems that when he had time, he had to go into the sea. You said you came to Boston and bought a farm, but the biggest specialty here is Boston lobster, and Jiang Hai felt a little embarrassed when he said it.
Putting aside these shrimps he knew, there were three other types of shrimps he didn't know, Jiang Hai couldn't help looking at Philipmon.
"There are quite a lot of shrimps here. Even if you raise some fish now, it will not cause ecological imbalance. Let me introduce these three types of shrimps to the boss. This very long shrimp is called the squid shrimp, also known as the island shrimp. It is a type of shrimp. It is distributed all over the world and is also the largest shrimp. This one is about twenty-four or five centimeters long, and it has grown. The largest one must be more than thirty centimeters long. However, the meat is average, not as delicious as the Arctic sweet shrimp." Philipmon did not disappoint Jiang Hai. In Jiang Hai's eyes, he first picked up a big shrimp with tiger patterns and said to Jiang Hai one by one.
Jiang Hai has seen this shrimp in the aquatic products market before, but the price is really too expensive. In the aquatic products market in Bingcheng, a pound of live green shrimp is only sold for just over twenty yuan, but a pound of dead shrimp is sold for more than forty or fifty per pound. It is really expensive, but there are also many such shrimps in this fishing ground.
After putting down the shrimp, Filimon picked up another thing, but this thing was called shrimp, but it looked more like a bug.
"This is called cicada shrimp (Sea Cialis), it is a type of lobster, but it is very small and not delicious, and has no meat." Filimon said with a smile when he flirted with the shrimp in front of him.
"This is a carved shrimp. According to legend, this kind of shrimp was found in the Jurassic era, so there is a special name called Jurassic shrimp, but it is Australian shrimp. We have it here. We only have this kind of shrimp, which is small and has no meat." After putting down the guy who looked like he had more insects than shrimp, Felimon picked up the last shrimp that Jiang Hai didn't recognize and said to Jiang Hai.
"There are also these shrimps. In fact, most of these shrimps are used as food, and only this shrimp is the most important one." After putting down the shrimp, Felimmon set his sight on the mantis shrimp.
"I know, this is mantis shrimp, we have it, and it tastes very good." Jiang Hai said immediately after hearing Filimon's words.
"Uh, Chinese people eat it? Well, Chinese people seem to have nothing to eat. This is a kind of clean shrimp, which we basically don't eat. This shrimp swims very quickly and eats dead fish, shrimps, and crabs. They are the heroes who keep the seabed clean." As he teased the mantis shrimp in his hand, Felimon said with a smile.
Obviously, it may be because of the golden finger that Jiang Hai is obviously more concerned about the ocean than the pastures. He also knows a lot about aquatic animals. Among them, he also knows that other shrimps are eaten by fish, but this shrimp is protected by fish. This shrimp is a doctor in the ocean, specializing in treating sick fish, and is very famous in the ocean.
But whether it is Peter Rock Pine Shrimp, Hedgehog Shrimp, Huangbei Hedgehog Shrimp, or Galia Whip Shrimp, these shrimps are temperate and tropical shrimps, and in the cold zone, at least there is no such shrimp in Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai didn't quite understand this. In fact, this is easy to explain because it is located here and the water temperature is very cold.
Therefore, aquatic organisms are not as prone to illness as temperate and tropical. Even if they are sick, they will die if they survive the fittest. After all, they are only a very small number of them, and mantis shrimps will solve their bodies and complete the ecological cycle.
What Jiang Hai thinks is the thing that is sea intestines, but hagfish. Hagfish itself is not delicious, but its close relative, the seven-gee eel, is a good ingredient, although both of them look the same disgusting.
There is also something called sea rabbit, also called sea slug. To be honest, this thing is also quite disgusting...
After introducing the shrimp and crabs, Felimmon began to introduce the most important thing, fish!
However, after all, this is not a farm, so many of the fish caught are not eaten, because most of them are fish caught in the coral area. The so-called damselfish fish may not be quite understood, but in other words, everyone understands clown fish. Clown fish is also a type of damselfish. Basically, all coral fish or anemone fish are a type of damselfish. This kind of fish is not only in temperate, tropical, but also in cold zones, but it doesn’t come out in winter.
In addition to these fish that can only be seen but not eaten, there are many things to eat here, the main ones are cod, herring and some sardines, which Jiang Hai knew, and there is also an ugly fish. Philipmon told Jiang Hai that this is grouper.
However, because this kind of fish mainly lives in temperate and tropical relationships, there are not many fishing grounds here.
So the one I grabbed was not big, probably only a little larger than the palm. Jiang Hai grabbed it and looked like a pound or less than two pounds. For grouper, this figure is still at the kindergarten level.
In addition to these fish, there are many other fish, bonito, mullet, pike, American red fish, red snapper, etc.
There are dozens of numbers here. When Philipmon first said it, Jiang Hai could hear it, but soon he became distracted.
Just as he was distracted, he suddenly saw a big spider jumping from the sink and began to crawl quickly.
Seeing this, Jiang Hai subconsciously stretched his hand to catch the spider, but Philipmon held his hand faster. Seeing Philipmon's movements, Jiang Hai was also a little stunned. He knew that Philipmon could not catch him without a reason, so he took a look at Philipmon and took his hand back first.
After confirming that Jiang Hai had left the creature that looked like a spider, Filimon breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, it looks like your underwater world is really good. It even has sea spiders." Picking up a wooden board, Filimon first pulled out the spider-like thing out of the sink, then stepped on it to death, and then threw it back to the sea. Then he said to Jiang Hai. Hearing his words, Jiang Hai frowned, sea spiders? Does spiders survive in the sea?
In fact, although sea spiders are called spiders, they are actually from the Crab family. But don’t think they are crabs, just be bullied. This kind of creature is known as the King of Undersea Poison, and it is not a false reputation.
