My Deep-sea Fishery

In fact, Chen Qingsheng was also very concerned about the two humpback whales.

After more than ten years of fishing career, Chen Qingsheng even valued the two humpback whales more than Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang led the crew to be prosperous on the bottom of the sea. Chen Qingsheng believed that the advanced diving equipment that Xiang Yang obtained only accounted for a small part of the credit.

The real credit goes to these two humpback whales.

It's just that Chen Qingsheng was really scared when he saw the giant squid's fierce appearance earlier.

Moreover, Chen Qingsheng believed that it was entirely possible for that squid to kill the carbine again, because it walked leisurely and didn't even put any ink.

Cephalopods have always been a key research target for scientists.

Squid is the representative of cephalopods.

The latest research report shows that the IQ of squid is a bit ridiculous.

Once, biologists gave a common squid a marshmallow test.

The so-called marshmallow test was an experiment conducted by sociologists on children in the 1960s.

In the experiment, put the child and the marshmallow in the same room, and tell the child that if he can not eat the marshmallow within fifteen minutes, he can get a second better marshmallow. The ability to delay gratification is demonstrated in the experiment human cognitive ability.

In daily life, situations of delayed gratification often appear.

For example, if I'm going to eat a seafood buffet tomorrow, I'll start skipping meals today, and save my stomach for tomorrow, so I can eat more.

The biologists used 29 common squids as experimental subjects. They first put the squids in the water tank and fed them for five consecutive days. They fed crabs and shrimps at the same time every day. The biologists found that all squids prefer to eat shrimps.

On the sixth day, the biologists divided the squid into two groups, one group was crab in the morning and shrimp in the evening.

The other group had crabs in the morning and shrimp in the evening, it was decided randomly.

The first group got used to it very quickly. They seemed to know that the most delicious food, prawns, would definitely come every night. During the experiment, they ate less and less crabs, and they liked the prawns more and more.

As for the second group, because the shrimps were randomly supplied, they could not count on them, so they would eat the same amount of crabs no matter whether they had no shrimps or not every day.

In order to be able to eat shrimp at night, squid would rather eat less crab and starve in the morning, which means that squid can not only remember the feeding schedule, but also incorporate this schedule into their future plans, and then exercise self-control.

It's very scary.

Eating is in the nature of animals, and planning is a very complex action.

Being able to plan for the future means that squids are intelligent.

Moreover, the evolutionary path of squid is almost different from that of other creatures, and it is a creature that is difficult to explain scientifically.

Even foxes know how to pretend to be dead to trick their prey into taking the bait. Such a cunning squid will pretend to run away first, and then kill a carbine with a very high probability.

"Captain, let's wait a little longer. The humpback whale has rough skin and thick flesh, and it's fine. We'll wait until we're sure it's safe, and then we'll go down and have a look."

Chen Qingsheng didn't know that Xiang Yang was more flexible underwater than on land, and he was not at all assured that Xiang Yang would go down now.

Xiang Yang shook his head, "No, the squid is cautious by nature, facing two humpback whales, a whale shark, and a killer whale at the same time, as long as it fails to win the opponent once, it will not entangle with the opponent again."

Squid is definitely a victorious general in the ocean.

Facing creatures that are about the same size as itself, squids have almost never lost a fight.

Unless there is a huge difference in size, or the number has an overwhelming advantage, otherwise, it is difficult for ordinary marine life to get cheap from squid.

And once the squid loses, it will run away immediately and never entangle with the opponent.

"What about that big fish?" Fang Youqun asked.

"That fish is called a whale shark. It has the same temperament as a humpback whale. It won't hurt humans. I'll take a look at its injuries." Generally, divers are on the bottom of the sea, unless they are accidentally photographed by the fin or tail of a whale shark. , Generally, he will not be killed or injured by the whale shark. Xiang Yang is absolutely sure that he will not be accidentally photographed by the whale shark's tail, so he is not worried that the whale shark will hurt him at all.

"Docile? I think it was very cruel just now." Fang Youqun underestimated.

Xiang Yang explained: "That's because the giant squid has a lot of astaxanthin in its body, and that giant squid also wants to prey on this whale shark and devour the astaxanthin in its body."

Astaxanthin is a very important substance for these sea giants. If there is a battle between these giants, don't worry, it must be because of astaxanthin.

Xiang Yang put on his diving suit, jumped into the sea, and swam towards the humpback whale.

Seeing Xiang Yang, the male humpback whale patted its fins lightly, almost stilling itself on the sea surface, allowing Xiang Yang to climb onto its back.

Xiang Yang checked the wound of the lower male humpback whale.

Fortunately, although the wound looked hideous and terrifying, it was actually just a skin trauma, not even breaking through the thick fat.

Seeing this, Xiang Yang heaved a sigh of relief, and asked the boat to throw two boxes of squid down for the humpback whales as snacks.

Then, Xiang Yang swam towards the huge whale shark again.

Whale sharks are such amazing creatures that they can even swallow a killer whale in one gulp when they open their jaws full of sharp teeth.

But in fact, most of the teeth of whale sharks are not sharp weapons for foraging or fighting.

As long as it does not encounter giant squid or is actively attacked by other marine life, it is generally very docile. When a whale is alone, they like to float on the water and bask in the sun leisurely.

The injury on this whale shark is much more serious than that on the humpback whale.

The wounds scattered all over the place looked hideous and terrifying.

But fortunately, they are all skin wounds. Compared with the huge body of the whale shark, these huge wounds are like a human being accidentally scratched by a soda can, and they can heal naturally with time.

On the contrary, it is densely packed with barnacles, making it uncomfortable for Xiang Yang to look at it.

After confirming that the giant squid would not come back again, Xiang Yang climbed back onto the boat and said to the crew: "That whale shark has a lot of barnacles on it, who wants to go down with me, bring a net bag, we will take those barnacles Clean it all up."

Whale sharks are not as lively and active as humpback whales. They often charge against the waves, but they also cross the ocean and often appear at the confluence of ocean currents.

Although the barnacles on it are not as fat as the barnacles on the humpback whale, they are also very rare seafood delicacies, and the meat quality is much fatter than the barnacles on the reefs on the coast.

The crew members' eyes lit up when they heard Xiang Yang's words. They have been with Xiang Yang for so long, and now they all know that barnacles are a good thing.
