Chapter 603 The Miraculous Anglerfish
Every time I see such a situation, it makes the fishermen very headache, because the net management incident is very troublesome.

This guy is too strong and dishonest, always jumping around, to prevent it from messing up the coiled fishing net again, Lu Xiaolu had to stop the winch first.

Then he squatted on the ground and began to remove the tarpon.

First, tidy up the messy gillnet as much as possible, and then drag its tail, and pull it through the mesh first. The middle part of the belly is relatively large, and it is almost torn by the mesh. A mark, some fish scales were scraped off.

Then he pulled its tail and pulled it back hard. With a sound of "tearing", the tarpon came out, but the fishing net was also made a hole.

Although it is a headache to encounter such a situation, it is inevitable, and then there are garbage and so on, which will damage the fishing net. When there are too many holes, it can no longer be used, and the net has to be repaired.

Now that Xiao Nan is also in school, she doesn't do the work of repairing the net anymore, and has to find someone else.

This job is difficult to say, easy to say, only those who have often lived by the sea since childhood, or those old fishermen can do it, and the work is cumbersome. In order not to delay earning money, ordinary fishermen hand over to others to do it.

Putting this tarpon into the live water tank, its tail suddenly flicked, splashing water all over Lu Xiaolu's face.

Lu Xiaolu wiped his face with his hand, "Hehe!" He spit out a spit full of sea water, which was bitter and salty.

Then close the live water hatch cover, open the winch again, and continue to pull the fish up.

The winch was still rumbling, and fish were pulled up one after another. Because he was looking for schools of yellowtails, most of them were yellowtails, and occasionally there were a few other fish, such as the more ferocious perch. , tarpon, mullet, etc., but the number is relatively small.

The yellowtails were all looking for small fish to eat, and those small fish ran away from the mesh, and then they bumped into the net laid by Lu Xiaolu.

Suddenly, the gill net became heavier and was stretched straight. There was a black shadow under it, which was quite big, and the shape was irregular. Lu Xiaolu thought it was a stone, and was afraid of it. After breaking the gill net, he quickly put the net into the water and picked it up.

Seeing this, the expression on Lu Xiaolu's face immediately changed, and the old donkey's face that was originally drawn was instantly beaming with joy.

What kind of reef is this chubby guy, with a big mouth, skin as rough as sand grains, two round eyes, and two well-developed pectoral fins distributed on both sides like two palm-leaf fans.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing is that there is an antenna growing on its forehead, and there is a round thing on the top of the antenna, which looks like a light bulb.

The most important thing is that that thing is really a light bulb, which can glow in the water, illuminate the way forward, and attract small fish to come and eat it.

It is very similar to the stonefish caught before, but the price of this thing is very low, only 15 yuan a catty, and I don't know why.

Let’s talk about eating, it’s delicious, and the taste is delicate, and it’s also particularly nutritious, and it’s not easy to catch. It often lives in the deep sea, usually at a water depth of 500 to 1 kilometer, and it will go to shallow water when it spawns.

It's not surprising that they can appear here, they just prefer to live in the dark deep sea, because the light bulb on its head can attract many small fish to eat for it.

But if it can attract small fish, it will also attract big fish. When it meets a big fish, it will put the light bulb on the top of its head into its mouth. Under the dark environment, those big fish that want to eat it will not be able to see it. will go away.

The anglerfish is amazing. It not only has light bulbs that can attract fish, but also because of its well-developed pectoral fins, it can be used as feet and can walk.

And they can grow very big, some species can grow to more than one meter long, with big mouths and big appetites, and even eat those smaller sharks, which is quite ferocious.

The most interesting thing is the spouse relationship between anglerfish. It can be said that there is no second kind in the world, and it is unique.

The male fish are very small, only [-] to [-] centimeters, some big ones are not ruled out, just average, most of them.

Then, the female fish is very big, and it is very common to have more than one meter.

Because they are not gregarious fish, the sea is very vast, and anglerfish move very slowly, so it is difficult for male fish to find female fish.

Once it touches it, it will quickly suck it up and never leave it for a lifetime. Over time, it will grow into a part of the female fish. This is really growing together, the blood vessels are connected together, and the nutrients are also provided by the female fish. .

In order to pass on the family line, anglerfish also have a clever trick. Some young male anglerfish will find a partner to marry as soon as they hatch, attach to the female fish, and then grow together.

Except for the characteristics of passing on the family line, all other places stop growing, grow very small, and rely on the blood of the female fish to maintain life, and complete the mating through venous blood circulation. This kind of mating method is also scorpion shit in nature. Unique, very magical.

For example, some people who couldn't find a partner when they were young are likely to be lonely all their lives and grow up.

Just because the moving speed is too slow, it can be called a sloth or koala in the ocean.

Of course, like puffer fish, there are many species of anglerfish, and they mate in different ways.

Although they hide very deep, they are often caught by deep-sea fishing or bottom trawling.

It is very ugly, and the sound it makes is a bit like an old man's cough, so it is also called sea toad, toad fish, and old man fish.

It is delicious and nutritious, but few people eat it, and the population is quite large, so the price is not expensive.

Looking at its belly, it was obviously not fertile, maybe it was a male fish, so Lu Xiaolu was rude and took it into the live water tank.

If it is pregnant, Lu Xiaolu will let it go. Although it is not illegal, it is better to have more babies, and it is worthless. If it is just to satisfy your appetite, it is not necessary. How delicious.

Of course, he doesn’t release eggs every time he sees them. Some fish even eat fish eggs, such as caviar, and home-cooked fish bubble stewed fish eggs.

He used to catch crucian carp at home and stew those with roe. Fish roe is better than crucian carp meat, it has no thorns and tastes good.

After accepting this anglerfish, Lu Xiaolu sat down and began to unravel the fish. If he didn't understand, the fish would mess up the fishing net and even die. It would be worthless, and neither would it be in Kinjiro's shop. To kill the fish.

At this time, Xiaohong finally recovered, because there was no oil on the feathers and they were still a little wet, she fluttered her wings twice, but she didn't fly, so she could only stay on the boat for the time being.

Seeing Lu Xiaodonkey unpacking the fish, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and went up to peck one.

"I'm going! Make a crime!"
