Godly Fisherman

Chapter 616: Alien species invasion

No matter how dissatisfied Academician Liu is, this huge piece of Kunshi has become a rockery in Xiao Peng Academy. When Academician Liu actually visited Xiao Peng’s courtyard and saw the ebony furniture full of Jinsinan, Academician Liu stopped talking, saying that the literati "don’t bend the waist for five buckets of rice", but now there is nothing. People are fools. Seeing the wealth of Xiao Peng's house, Academician Liu can only sigh and continue to do his own biological research.

Xiao Peng is paying attention to the newly released seedlings in the sea, and they have suffered certain losses, especially the European blue dragon, but they have settled in Qianliyan anyway. Just settle down. Xiao Peng is driving the dumpling every day to see here and there in the fishery, put in feed, and play with whales and sharks, or he can accompany his pet army on the island. Grandpa and father played chess, and life was easy.

It is true that the so-called blood relatives are really right. The relationship between Father Xiao and Grandpa Xiao has improved a lot after such a period of running-in.

"Hey, Xiao Peng, are we boring just staying on the island?" Yang Meng couldn't bear to be lonely, and urged Xiao Peng to say, "Let's go out and find a place to play."

"Where to go?" Xiao Peng was lying on the recliner basking in the sun, lazily.

Yang Meng said, "Aren't you going to the Star Striped Nation in a while? Otherwise, let's go fishing in the Pacific Ocean and then go to the Star Striped Nation to sell fish?"

Xiao Peng was drinking tea, and he spit out: "Big Brother, I have no grudges with you the day before, and I have no grudges the day before, so why are you harming me?"

"Hurt you? What do you mean?" Yang Meng puzzled.

Xiao Peng explained: "There are so many things in the hanging hairy place in Star-Stripe Nation. No matter what, as long as it involves wild animals, it is all trouble. Isn't the Asian carp in Star-Stripe Nation flooded? Our country's foodies Talking about making a fortune by going to the Stars and Stripes all day is pure nonsense! No matter how proliferated Asian carp, if you go fishing for sale without consent, it is illegal, not to mention marine fish. Let’s just say that. No matter how many fish we have caught, it is impossible to sell them without a fishing license in Star-Tiao Country."

Yang Meng asked, "What does this mean? Isn't it allowed to sell fish in Star Stripe Nation?"

"BINGO!" Xiao Peng snapped his fingers. "You are really right! In the Star-Tangled Nation, if you want to sell fish, you can only sell fish from legal sources, such as those raised in fish farms, for example, fish caught by fishing boats with legal fishing certificates. Other than that. , You are breaking the law to sell fish. For example, Asian carp is flooding in Star-Tiao Country. Once the owner of a Chinese restaurant went to catch some Asian carp for sale in the store. This is illegal. The final compensation directly caused his restaurant to close down. ."

"Can't you sell the fish you caught?" Yang Meng was stunned.

Xiao Peng nodded: "No matter how much Asian carp you catch, it doesn't matter. It's illegal. Who cares whether you catch pigs, dogs, cats or eat by yourself? Who caused the Asian carp to be a disaster? But you have to. It’s illegal to use it for profit. Why don’t the people of Star Stripe eat Asian carp and fish for fish meal? That’s a good thing for profit, isn’t it? It’s a pity that you can make money and control the number of Asian carp. The country’s nature protection laws are so strict that no one dares to touch this one, so they can only watch the Asian carp flooding."

Yang Meng smiled: "The Asian carp flooding in the emotional star-stripe country is all self-seeking?"

"Yes, I found it myself. Protecting wild animals is correct, but it also needs to change according to the situation." Xiao Peng said.

Yang Meng laughed loudly after hearing this: "If it were us, the invasion of these alien species would never be scaled up, so let him eat them all!"

Xiao Peng listened to Yang Meng's words and looked at him like an idiot. "Hey, why do you look at me like that?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng gave Yang Meng the answer: "Do you know that? In fact, China is the country that suffers the most from alien species invasion in the world! As of today, there have been as many as 544 confirmed alien species invasions, of which a large area has occurred and the damage is serious. There are more than one hundred species, and the direct economic loss caused every year is as high as hundreds of billions! Especially in recent years, the number of invasions of alien species has gradually increased, and the spreading range has become larger and larger! You only saw the flood of carp in the Star-stripe country , Australian rabbits are flooding, Norwegian oysters are flooding, you have not seen our country itself being invaded by alien species. Among the 100 most threatening alien species in the world announced by iucn, there are more than 50 invading Chinese! And every year Increasing!"

"Really? Are there species that can pose a threat in China?" Yang Meng obviously didn't believe it.

"Do you really think that China's food is omnipotent?" Xiao Peng gave Yang Meng a white look: "In China, more than 95% of invasive species are introduced by humans! Sometimes the purpose is good, but the result is not satisfactory. For example, Fushou snails are native to the Amazon basin of South America. They were introduced to Baodao, Guangdong and other places 30 or 40 years ago. At that time, the Fushou snails were called a fire. Isn’t it big? Many professional farmers came out! In China It was very popular. But later people discovered that the Fushou snails are soft and not as delicious as the local snails, so the sales of Fushou snails were less and poor, and those farmers gave up. Since then, the Fushou snails have become wild creatures in rivers, ditches and ponds. Because the snails have mixed eating habits, have strong fecundity, and grow fast, they soon become harmful animals in southern China. Especially the snails often eat the leaves and stems of aquatic plants, causing damage to rice, lotus roots, narcissus, etc. A huge loss! Just like Luzhai County in Guangxi, the density of Fushou snails in the rice fields is as high as nearly 20 per square meter! Up to 64% of the rice is damaged at the highest point! Grain production is seriously affected!"

Yang Meng disagrees: "Then let's eat them and find a good cooking method. Why don't we eat them?"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "Why is it that easy? There is a parasite in the snails that can be transmitted to humans. So now we can do nothing about the snails. We can only do chemical control, supplemented by artificial control, and biological control has not yet been carried out."

When Yang Meng heard this, he frowned and said, "This thing is so terrible?"

Xiao Peng disdainfully said: "This is considered terrible? There are more terrible invasive species! For example, the Brazilian tortoise is more terrible than the snail!"

"Brazilian tortoise? The one with the most pets? I used to keep a pair, but later let me put it in an artificial lake." Yang Meng said.

"Then congratulations, you have made a huge contribution to the spread of Salmonella." Xiao Peng teased.

Seeing Yang Meng’s dumbfounded expression, Xiao Peng felt very satisfied and explained: “The origin of the Brazilian tortoise is not Brazil, but the Mississippi River in the Star-Stripe Country. Many people keep it as pets, and there are restaurants to cook Brazilian tortoises. But what everyone does not know is that it is one of the most dangerous invasive species of the World Conservation Union. This little thing is the culprit for the spread of Salmonella, which can spread to warm-blooded animals including humans. It has a high reproduction rate and strong viability. In recent years, due to pet abandonment, religious release and other reasons, it has spread in the wild in China. At present, our China law has strictly prohibited the import of Brazilian tortoises, but embarrassingly, there is no domestic turtle. Laws and regulations restrict the sales of Brazilian tortoises, so it is really too difficult to really want Brazilian tortoises to disappear from China."

"There are too many examples like this. For example, the large African snails are distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Fujian, Baodao and other places in China. You can eat everything except crops, such as forests, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, etc. Plants, even paper and companion corpses, can eat cement when hungry! Moreover, this thing is also the culprit that spreads tuberculosis and eosinophilic meningitis, and it is impossible to eat it. The existence of this thing is just a disaster!"

"There are many examples of this! For example, mosquito fish are introduced to eliminate mosquito larvae and reduce the number of mosquitoes, but mosquito fish are extremely aggressive and often attack fish that are twice as large as the fish, such as the medaka. Such juvenile fish reduce the survival of local fish! There are also many plant invasions, such as water hyacinth, ragweed, Mikania, water hyacinth...too many."

Yang Meng thought about it for a long time, and finally recollected: "I think I understand what kind of biological invasion in China will take shape."

Xiao Peng was taken aback: "What kind of scale will form?"

"I can't eat! You said that a lot of them are not edible! What you can eat is not a threat to Huaxia!" Yang Meng said, "After all, Huaxia Foodie is too powerful, and all edibles are eaten. It is absolutely not a threat."

"Who said that? Who said that edible food is not a threat?" Xiao Peng said with disdain.

"Can delicious food be a threat?" Yang Meng was a little dumbfounded.

"Of course! Bullfrogs are delicious? But bullfrogs pose a greater threat! Now in China, except for Tibet and Hainan, the economic losses caused by bullfrogs are by no means inferior to other invasive species! They even caused amphibians across China. Threat! It has a serious impact on biodiversity! You know, bullfrogs can eat everything, local small frogs and tadpoles are their food, and even the fry are not spared. The fish in Dianchi are almost completely eaten by bullfrogs! There is also Procambarus clarkii, which is what everyone calls crayfish! Nowadays, it can be seen everywhere in China. Because crayfish have a wide range of food, they reproduce rapidly and are very easy to spread. They are extremely threatening to local fish, crustaceans, and aquatic plants, and damage the local area. Biological chain! And it likes to eat the roots of plants, which has catastrophic damage to natural vegetation such as rice! And it is more harmful to fry and artificially bred mussels!"

Yang Meng listened, did not speak for a while, suddenly turned around and was about to leave.

"Why are you going?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.

Yang Meng said without turning his head: "Today I will go to town to eat crayfish and bullfrogs! It is also a contribution to the elimination of alien species."

When Xiao Peng heard this, he was happy: "I think it's OK, it just happens to be boring on the island, let's go to town to eat bullfrogs and crayfish!"
