Chapter 19 Small Yellow Croaker Harvest!

Cod liver oil, as the name suggests, is a kind of oil.

It is usually a kind of fatty oil extracted from the liver of sea fish without toxins. After a series of purification processes, it is finally made by adding an appropriate amount of stabilizer.

The role of cod liver oil is mainly to supplement vitamin A and vitamin D to maintain human growth and promote the absorption of trace elements.

The liver of skinned fish accounts for 3.9-7.4% of the weight of the whole fish, and its oil content is as high as 50-60%.
Putty can also be substituted for tung putty.Fish bones can be used as canned fish steaks, and scalp viscera can be used as fish meal.Fish skin can be made into soluble edible fish protein.This is a nutritious food rich in protein, which not only contains a variety of amino acids, but also is easily digested and absorbed by the human body.

Because of this, the price of skinned fish is not bad.

Like this one, a large skinned fish weighing twenty catties is not a big problem.

"About 1000 two hundred, not bad."

Chen Fan smiled slightly.

It took a lot of effort to untie the fish from the fishing net. Chen Fan took a sip of water and continued to pull the fishing net.

"what?"

Just as Chen Fan wished for a yellow croaker in his heart, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes.

This fish is about sixteen centimeters long. The upper half of its body is yellowish brown, and the lower half is bright golden yellow under each scale.

"Big yellow croaker?"

"No, not the big yellow croaker."

Chen Fan was overjoyed at first, then shook his head.

Although both are yellow croakers, there is still a big difference.

The biggest point is the body shape. From the perspective of body shape, the length of the large yellow croaker is about 25 to [-] centimeters, while the small yellow croaker is much smaller, generally about [-] to [-] centimeters in length. Therefore, in terms of size and weight, the large yellow croaker Absolutely crushing the small yellow croaker.

Of course, it does not mean that the big yellow croaker is the big yellow croaker, and the small yellow croaker is the small yellow croaker. It is not uncommon for some profit-seeking traders to sell the big yellow croaker that has not grown up as small yellow croaker in order to earn high profits.

Therefore, in addition to body shape, it can also be identified by some appearance characteristics.

The most obvious feature is the head.

For example, the head of the small yellow croaker in front of him is obviously pointed, while the head of the big yellow croaker is round and blunt in comparison.

Secondly, look at the mouth of the fish. The mouth of the small yellow croaker is symmetrical up and down, and the length is almost the same. If it is a large yellow croaker, the upper lip is more prominent and longer than the lower lip.

Basically, by looking at these 2 points, you can identify big and small yellow croakers.

Chen Fan skillfully uncovered the fishing net. This small yellow croaker was only about a kilogram, which was far from the large yellow croaker, but this size was considered very large among the small yellow croakers!

As for the price, as the output becomes less and less, its price will be more expensive, and the larger its volume, the more expensive it will be.

Generally, the price of three to four taels of ordinary small yellow croakers is about 280 to 300 yuan per catty, then the price of about five taels needs to be around 400 yuan, and the larger ones can even reach 600 yuan. Thousands of dollars.

In the blink of an eye, more than 2000 yuan was credited. Chen Fan was in a good mood and continued to pull the fishing net.

"! Another little yellow croaker!"

Just a few meters after pulling it up, there was another golden yellow croaker.

Although not as big as the first one, eight or nine taels is still no problem.

"Another one!"

"Another one!"

Chen Fan exclaimed.

This must have met a group of small yellow croakers!
In just five or six minutes, Chen Fan pulled up twelve small yellow croakers!Basically about a pound.

Even if it costs 1000 yuan per catty, it is worth 2000 yuan!
"Good luck."

Chen Fan smiled.

"what?"

Just immersed in joy, the fishing net in his hand sank again.

"Octopus?"

Chen Fan was surprised.

Octopus, also known as octopus.

This octopus is as big as a footbath!The huge head and eight arms and legs were tightly entangled by fishing nets. A rough estimate weighed twenty or thirty catties!

"It's the first time I've seen such a big octopus."

Chen Fan said to himself.

It's this messed up fishing net...

Chen Fan frowned, and reached out to touch it.

A stream of pitch-black ink suddenly sprayed out from the head of the octopus, spraying Chen Fan's right hand pitch-black, and exuding a foul smell...

"You guy..."

Chen Fan looked at his hands stained black by ink and couldn't laugh or cry.

How could I have forgotten that when an octopus encounters danger, it will spray out an ink-like substance as a smoke screen.

And not only octopuses, but other cephalopods have an ink-filled sac called an ink sac. When they are in danger, they can spray ink and blacken the surrounding seawater, which looks like smoke.

Don’t underestimate this ink. In addition to acting as a smoke screen, it also has anesthetic effects. Even big fish will lose their sense of smell and the ability to identify directions in this liquid. For example, when a sea snake is preying on an octopus, if it is caught When the ink is sprayed, the sense of smell will also be lost. Although the target is close at hand, the target cannot be caught.

The ink is also dangerous to the octopus itself, but it does not seem to be poisonous to humans.

Just like Chen Fan, who was sprayed with a lot of ink and nothing happened.

However, just because ink doesn't work on humans doesn't mean octopuses are safe!

When the octopus grabs its prey, it uses the suction cup on its wrist to hold it firmly, then bites it with its flexible beak-like mouth, and then injects the venom into the victim's bite through a special pump-like organ. Kill it, then inject digestive enzymes, suck out the digestible substances little by little, and discard the empty shell.

Therefore, when people catch octopus, it is more important to prevent being bitten by it than to prevent being entangled in its wrist.

"I'll untie you when I get back."

Chen Fan put down his fishing net, washed his hands, and the sea around him was pitch black...

Like this kind of octopus, it can spray ink six times in a row, and it can fully recover after half an hour. In addition to spraying ink, the octopus also has a big trick, that is, changing color!Like the most agile chameleons, it can change its color and structure, become like a stone covered with algae, and suddenly pounce on its prey, without the prey having time to realize what happened.

Sometimes it disguises itself as a bunch of corals, sometimes as a pile of shining gravel, and can even disguise itself as venomous creatures such as sea snakes, lionfish and jellyfish to avoid attacks.

From this point of view, the octopus probably has some wisdom!
This may sound outrageous, but it is true.

For example, the striped octopus among octopuses uses multiple of its 8 arms and legs to crawl when crawling on the bottom of the sea.But sometimes it doesn't, and wraps 8 of its 6 arms around its head, disguising itself as a coconut!
And not only that, they also use the remaining two arms to walk on the bottom of the sea!
Can you imagine an octopus dressed as a coconut running around on the bottom of the sea on two legs!
