Chapter 15 Little Sea Otter and Top Eastern Star Spot

A lot of water splashes appeared behind the Portunus, which was frantically fleeing like a tide, and many black shadows quickly chased after them.

Whoosh whoosh!

Sea otters passed by Wang Tianhui quickly, catching up with the fleeing swimming crabs.

Sea otters are the smallest mammals in the ocean. They are about the same length as a seven or eight-year-old child. They have a round body and thick hair that keeps them warm.

Although they are as fat as small gas tanks, they are excellent in water. Their webbed feet and wide flat tails are powerful swimming tools, allowing them to move freely in the water and prey on fish, shrimps and shellfish. But their favorite The food is still crab.

There are eight sea otters in this group, one male is relatively large, and the remaining three are smaller female sea otters with four small sea otter babies.

Sea otters are polygamous, and this should be the male sea otter taking his three wives and dolls out for a picnic.

Four big sea otters rushed into the swimming crab group again and again, and the baby sea otters caught the swimming crabs first, and the baby sea otters held the swimming crabs in both hands and didn't know how to eat them, so they circled around the mother sea otter anxiously.

The mother sea otter plunged into the bottom of the sea, picked up a stone, and then put the crab on her belly, smashed it hard with the stone, and smashed the crab shell to reveal the crab meat.

The baby sea otters imitate their mothers and smash crabs. Their chubby bodies and their vigorous beating movements are very cute.

Compared with eating crabs, one of the smallest sea otters seems to be more interested in Wang Tianhui, a "big fish".

It is only about half a meter long, chubby and chubby, looks like a groundhog, with a pair of big black round eyes full of curiosity.

It kept circling around Wang Tianhui, and tried to poke Wang Tianhui with its small claws.

This little guy is not afraid of people, seeing how cute it is, Wang Tianhui couldn't help but reach out and touch its round head.

The little sea otter seemed to enjoy this feeling very much, even squinting his eyes and rubbing his hands in enjoyment, his ability to act like a baby was no less than that of Xiao Hua at home.

Seeing the cute baby sea otter, Wang Tianhui couldn't help but give it a big swimming crab like a sea otter mother.

The little sea otter was playful, so he didn't watch how his mother ate the crab, so he bit it hard with his small teeth, but he couldn't bite it open, so he asked Wang Tianhui for help.

Wang Tianhui couldn't laugh or cry, little guy, you don't think I'm your mother, do you?
He took the Portunus and was thinking whether to teach it to smash or help it smash it?

Just as he was thinking about it, the little guy clasped his paws together and bowed non-stop, just like the seal performing in the water park, his big eyes were full of earnestness, and he shook his head and tail anxiously, like a spoiled little girl.

Facing such a lovely creature, how could Wang Tianhui have the heart to make it anxious?

Fortunately, I brought tools with me. Although this swimming crab is bigger than a palm, it doesn't take much trouble to pry it open with a shovel.

Under the expectant gaze of the little sea otter, Wang Tianhui easily pried open the hard shell of the Portunus, revealing the translucent and plump crab meat, as well as the full crab paste. It started begging for help again.

After giving the crab with the cover removed to the little sea otter, Wang Tianhui stopped playing with it because he found something better.

This family of sea otters is not the only one hunting crabs, but also large turtles and some carnivorous sea fish.

Among them are all kinds of grouper, eastern star spot, western star spot, Thai star spot, leopard star spot, etc. They are aggressive and fierce fish species. How can this kind of scene be without them?

Wang Tianhui stared at a 30-centimeter-long, seven-eight-eight-jin-weight visually, and a bright red Dongxing spot, no matter in color or size, it was the best among the grouper. At this time, it was crazily preying on swimming crabs.

East star spot is a kind of fish belonging to the genus Acanthidae. It has various varieties and bright colors, including blue, red, yellow and brown, etc. Its body shape is slender among grouper fish.

Its head is small and meaty, and the meat is white and delicious. It is a relatively rare and valuable grouper.

East star spot is not only of high edible value, but also very ornamental. It is bright red all over, covered with white fine flower spots, and looks like a sky full of stars, so it is called star spot. It has blue eyes and black pupils, which match the whole body. The red is in stark contrast. Many people prefer to keep it in a fish tank for viewing rather than eating it.

However, it is very particular about raising East starfish, because it is a ferocious predator by nature, and will devour ornamental fish and shrimp in the same tank, and it does not like to bite, but prefers to swallow whole, and even attack other grouper.

The grade of Dongxing spot is not judged according to its size, but its color. The redder it is, the more valuable it is. , the third-class Yangdong with a slight pink color, the second-class Aodong with darker black in the red, and the first-class Hongdong with light red or red patches all over the body.

The one that Wang Tianhui saw was as bright red as blood and as bright as gemstones under the sun. It was the best of the best.

The market price of farmed live star spot is more than 100 catties, most of which are not good in color, the price of wild star spot fourth-class black is also more than 100, and the price of a first-class red star is more than [-] pounds. Like this top red star The price can easily be tens of thousands, or even more.

It was the first time Wang Tianhui saw such a beautiful Dong Xingban when he was so old, and his heart itched so hard that he didn't even want to talk to the cute little sea otter.

He touched the bamboo pole behind him, thought for a while, and then let go again.

It would be a pity if such a perfect Dong Xingban got hurt.

If it is captured unscathed, if someone wants to buy it and keep it, it may be able to sell for a higher price.

Although Wang Tianhui is very confident in his speed and reaction, it is difficult to capture this Dong Xingban alive, and it seems that it will take some effort.

He cautiously approached the preying East Star Spot, without any tools, he had to grab it with bare hands to ensure that it would not be hurt.

But this East Star Spot was very cunning, it sensed Wang Tianhui approaching, and suddenly flicked its tail and turned around to swim towards the coral reef.

If it gets into the crevice of the coral, it will be difficult to get it out.

Absolutely not!

Wang Tianhui judged its trajectory, first it jumped to the crevice of the coral reef, and was about to cut it.

As a result, his hand touched Dong Xingban's body, and it slipped and escaped from Wang Tianhui's grasp again.

Wang Tianhui gritted his teeth, I don't believe in this evil anymore, if I don't catch you today, I won't go ashore!
With a thump of his feet, he followed Dong Xingban and swam deeper into the trench.

Although Dong Xingban swims fast, Wang Tianhui's water-repelling beads are not just decorations, helping him to ride the wind and waves and hold on tight.

The trench seemed to be getting narrower and narrower, and Wang Tianhui panicked a little.

If he was more than ten meters ahead, he would not be able to pass, and he would definitely be lost.

hateful!

Seeing that Dong Xingban's treacherous plan was about to succeed, suddenly a splash of water rushed past him, something shot towards Dong Xingban's direction like a cannonball, surpassed it and turned back.

Gollum!

There was a muffled sound in the water, and the thing slammed into Dong Xingban, and then it also stopped.

It turned out to be the baby sea otter, which pushed Dong Xingban out of the trench and knocked him unconscious.

Wang Tianhui took the opportunity to tear open the net bag and rushed over, and took it down before Dong Xingban recovered.

After catching Dong Xingban, the little sea otter circled around Wang Tianhui as if asking for credit, rubbing his head for petting from time to time.

Wang Tianhui not only rewarded it with a big crab with its shell pried off, but also caught several groupers weighing two to three kilograms, and gave one to the little sea otter.

The little sea otter's belly was bloated from eating, and he followed Wang Tianhui all the way, and followed him to swim deeper into the sea.
