Back to the small fishing village in 1982

The grouper has a strong sense of territory. If there is a grouper in one place, there will be no second grouper. If there is a grouper, they will attack each other. The winner is king!
After Ye Yaodong saw that it was two grouper fish fighting, he was surprised and didn't dare to get too close. He only dared to keep his distance, stay in place, and watch from a distance. Fortunately, the light is still bright now.

He widened his eyes and carefully looked at what species were those two groupers beside him?
The patterns on many groupers are spots, but the shapes of the spots are different, and some of them look very similar.

This needs to be carefully identified, otherwise it is easy to admit mistakes, but at a glance, it is undoubtedly a grouper, and he still has this vision.

Two grouper fishes, one big and one small, collided with each other, looming in the seagrass, and some small fish around them did not disperse, they were all wandering around the edge, looking at him felt a little itchy, it was so far away How can you see the distance so carefully?

The two groupers looked different in species, but the two were burrowing around in the seaweed and didn't stay outside for a long time, and he couldn't really see what species it was for a while.

After watching for a while, he saw that they were still attacking each other fiercely, so he simply swam to the nearby reef, looking for the big tail squid while keeping an eye on them.

This fish is vicious and slippery, it swims much faster than him in the sea, how can he catch it by rushing up?
Just take a look, he has to find the big tail squid first, this is the good one he can catch.

It's just that his attention was still divided a little, on the two grouper fish.

When I swam to the side, I was lucky. I happened to see a smaller grouper being bitten by the opponent and dragged out of the seaweed.

Huh?It's mouse spots!
This time, I can see clearly that the bitten grouper is a mouse grouper.

Mouse spots are highly recognizable among groupers, with black spots all over the body, and also on the fin rays, and the rest are creamy yellow.

He had caught one before, and heard that the temperament of the mouse spot was relatively docile among the grouper, but now he showed it to him, the two were fighting fiercely, and they didn't feel docile at all.

I don't know if I was forced to fight back. I guess if I don't resist, I will be expelled.

He stopped for a moment involuntarily, and when the larger grouper bit the mouse grouper, it also showed its true face from the grass.

It's money spots!

Grass!Both are superb!
Ye Yaodong couldn't make a sound, he could only marvel in his heart, and his eyes widened.

The mouse spot that was bitten was quite small, a lot smaller than the money spot, no wonder it couldn't compete with the size advantage.

The official scientific name of the money spot is actually the hawksbill grouper, also commonly known as the flower head plum spot and the dog spot. It is named for its hexagonal spots on the body surface, which are like coins. It mainly inhabits the coral reef area of ​​coastal debris.

This money spot was indeed very vicious. When it opened its mouth to bite the mouse spot, it didn't let go, and kept wagging its tail, as if trying to open its mouth a little wider, trying to swallow the opponent in one gulp.

Seeing this, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but think that when fish are preying, they usually swallow in one gulp and don't know how to chew.

In the past, when they killed fish, they cut open the belly of the fish, and the undigested fish and shrimp inside were all whole, and there were no missing arms or legs.

This ferocious money spot looks like it's going to have nothing to do with mouse spot today.

The two fish were now mouth to mouth, stuck there, swaying and circling with the waves.

The small fishes around were afraid of being affected when they were swinging, so they all backed away a circle, but they still didn't leave. I don't know if they were shouting for cheer.

Ye Yaodong watched the two fish stalemate there, feeling more and more surprised, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Continue to stalemate, when they have no mouth to breathe, it's time for him to take advantage of it! ! !

Now he didn't dare to take a step, just waited there.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

However, in an instant, he realized that the fish is not worth much when it is dead, only when it is alive!

Thinking of this, he immediately took action again. He had to catch the two fish before they died while they were deadlocked. Otherwise, it would be too late for him to pick up the corpses after they died.

Normal fish are slippery in the water, but these two fish are not in a normal state now, mouth to mouth, one big one is holding the other small one, it is estimated that they will not be able to flinch even if they want to.

It didn't take long for Ye Yaodong to react when he saw their mouths facing each other. He rushed forward with a hand-made net, wondering if the two fish were caught?

The small fish wandering around felt the fluctuation of the surrounding sea water, and immediately dodged to the side.

Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand to copy the net, and directly engulfed the two fish, and they couldn't struggle, after being caught in the net, they just wagged their tails a few times, and then remained motionless.

Money Banner still opened his mouth wide to cover Mouse Ban's mouth, probably because he opened it too much and got stuck, and now he couldn't even try to struggle and back away from each other.

Still inseparable.

Ye Yaodong was very pleasantly surprised, it took no effort at all.

At first, he thought that no matter how many fights they had, it would be his turn to fight. This grouper is fierce, slippery, and swims fast. If it burrows a little into the coral reef or hidden reef, no one will do anything to them.

But I didn't expect that the two fish would fight so well, they would not let go of their bite, and they almost died together.

Fearing that they would die, Ye Yaodong immediately grabbed them and stuffed them into the net pocket, and then pulled the mouse spot's mouth out of Qian Ban's mouth through the net pocket.

He didn't dare to separate the two directly in the manual copy net. If they were separated, they might run away if they didn't die.

If you put it in the net bag and then separate it, there is no such concern. You can't run away even if you want to run, so you can only stay in the net pocket.

After the two fish were separated by his hands, they remained motionless for a while, and they couldn't even close the mouth of the money spot.

Finished?

Shouldn't it be a step slower, both of them died from lack of oxygen?

Ye Yaodong reached out and poked them a few times...

Moved!

Mouse Banner was floating there without moving, but after poking it a few times, it instantly wagged its tail and came back to life.

At the same time, Qian Banba's mouth also slowly closed and moved a bit.

Fortunately, he separated in time, and the two fish came back to life. It was estimated that one foot had already stepped into the coffin, and the other had already been lifted up. If it was a little slower, they would have died.

After confirming that both fish were alive, Ye Yaodong immediately came to the surface and put them in a bucket to raise them. He had been down for a long time and just went up to take a rest.

Father Ye has finished collecting the shrimp pots up there, and today went smoothly without any bottom jams. He was sorting the fish and shrimps while waiting for Ye Yaodong to come up.

Seeing his appearance, Father Ye hurried over to give him a hand.

After Ye Yaodong climbed up, he looked for needles immediately. He had to prick the swim bladders of the two fish, and then put them in buckets, otherwise they would explode.

When Father Ye was pulling him up, he also saw two grouper fish in his waist pocket, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Ah! Grouper? How did you catch it?"

Father Ye thought there would be a few soft silks, and as soon as he pulled him up, he looked at his waist, but he didn't expect it to be two grouper fish?It was so unexpected, so surprising.

"Mouse spots! Money spots! These two groupers are good, take a needle and prick their stomachs so they can be raised."

Ye Yaodong also looked for the needle as soon as he climbed up.

Father Ye also hurriedly took two buckets and beat two buckets of seawater. The two fish had to be packed separately, otherwise they would fight when they got together.

It's quite a taste of the king seeing the king, no one will admit defeat, no wonder they are expensive!

After they stabbed the two fish and put them into two buckets separately, and watched them swaying in the bucket, Father Ye said happily: "How did you catch them? I caught two at once."

"Haha, I picked it up!"

"Pick it up?"

"I couldn't find the gap in the reef yesterday in the water, so I turned around and saw these two groupers fighting. I thought I couldn't catch it, so I just left. I happened to see that big leopard. Mouth, enclose Mouse Ban's mouth in one bite."

"The two fish didn't let anyone else, just stuck there like this. I saw it was an opportunity, so I went up and caught them with a hand-drawn net, and stretched out my hand to separate them after catching them in the net bag."

Father Ye was very surprised, is this all right?

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. When the two fish are fighting for life and death, they are directly picked up for cheap and wiped out all at once.

Ye Yaodong was also proud and pleasantly surprised that he happened to meet him.

No one has been in the water for so long these days, so he deserves the money.

"Then they are not suffocated, they are still alive."

"I've been watching them fight since I found out. I saw the big one biting the small one, and the two got stuck there. No one could do anything to the other. The reaction was quick and I caught them together."

Father Ye's old face burst into a smile, "Okay, I can sell two grouper fish for a good price again, and they are still alive, so they can be worth more."

"Well, the sun has just set, and it's still a bit early. I'll take a break, take a break and go into the water to search again. If you haven't seen it yet, let's go back directly."

"Okay, then take a rest."

Ye Yaodong sat directly on the deck, "There is no bottom stuck in the shrimp pot, right?"

"No, I've collected them all. There is one lobster, and the sword prawn should have collected nearly 20 catties. When I was waiting for you, I picked the size by the way. There are more big ones."

"The harvest was quite good. I didn't see sea cucumbers just now, and I don't know if they are hiding."

"Where is it so easy to find?" Father Ye moved again, "Why don't you rest here and I'll go down and have a look?"

When he opened his mouth to refuse, Father Ye said again: "Two people take turns, so you can have time to catch your breath, and we can save a little time and go home early."

"I'm only 53 years old, and I'm not seven or eighty. I can't move anymore. What can I do in the water? Let me go down and try it out first."

"Big brother and second brother, I couldn't bear it for a long time after going down last year, so I came here immediately, can you do it?"

"Try it."
