Chapter 373 A Nest of Aestivating Sea Cucumbers

, Xiaoyao Yuchang

At the bottom of the sea, Li Xuan first observed the next four weeks.

Li Xuan was delayed in the sea for a while because of the group of silver pomfrets. Those crew members who went into the sea after him had already descended to the bottom of the sea one step ahead of him and started working.

Li Xuan saw that Yang Hua was halfway at the bottom of a large reef on the seabed, holding a protruding point on the reef with one hand to fix his body, and holding a stone with sharp water chestnuts in the other hand, Dig hard under that rock.

The terrain of this sea area is high, and the silt and sea sand have been washed away by the sea water long before endless time. , a deep pit more than ten centimeters long, Yang Hua struggled for a long time, but failed to make the deep pit a little bit bigger.

Li Xuan swam over curiously, and patted Yang Hua's shoulder. He was very curious, Yang Hua spent so much effort digging out this deep pit, what was hidden inside.

Yang Hua turned his head and looked behind him. Seeing that it was Li Xuan, he stopped his movements and stretched out his hands to make gestures.

Li Xuan watched for a long time, but didn't understand what Yang Hua was gesticulating, so he simply swam to the entrance of the deep pit, took a light and took a look inside.

At this moment, Li Xuan was startled. Good guy, I don’t know if this deep pit was formed naturally, or it was excavated by marine creatures like pangolins. Regardless of its small entrance, there is only one finger. Wide, but there is a cave inside, where a dozen fat sea cucumbers are hiding.

The very thin gaps between the rocks on the seabed are often the best hiding places for fat sea cucumbers to hide from their enemies.

There is no large skeleton in the soft muscles of sea cucumbers, only very small bone fragments. If it wants, it can get into even the smallest rock cracks.

These sea cucumbers were all hiding in this deep pit without moving. Li Xuan only took one look, and immediately confirmed that these sea cucumbers were in aestivation.

Every summer, divers hardly see sea cucumbers on the surface of the reef.

Therefore, the amount of sea cucumbers caught every summer is extremely small, and those that can be caught are slow-moving, with their heads under the reef, and their buttocks have not had time to hide before they are pulled out by divers.

But sea cucumbers in summer are more perfect in terms of appearance and meat quality.

Many bosses who collect sea cucumbers like to collect sea cucumbers during aestivation, regardless of the cost, as much as they can.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Yang Hua, thinking that this guy's eyes are so sharp, he can even detect this.

In fact, Yang Hua was also lucky. When he was looking for seafood on the seabed, he saw such a gap under the rock, so he took a picture inside with the waterproof flashlight he always carried. This time, he was pleasantly surprised. There is actually a nest of sea cucumbers as fat as pears.

This is where these sea cucumbers are hiding, and it is really tricky.

However, neither Yang Hua nor Li Xuan had the slightest intention of retreating in spite of difficulties.

The price of wild sea cucumbers of this size is at least several thousand yuan per catty after processing, and this nest of sea cucumbers is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Even if you go on a boat and dig down with a shovel, you have to dig them out.

Moreover, as far as Li Xuan knows, the sea cucumbers that can aestivate are generally the best sea cucumbers.

Sea cucumbers are strange creatures. When the temperature of the water reaches a certain level, they will go dormant. This sleep lasts for three to four months, commonly known as aestivation.But not all sea cucumbers are dormant.

Some sea cucumbers will also migrate to other places after the temperature is too high.

There are also sea cucumbers that are simply dissolved in high temperature.

Only sea cucumbers living in seawater with excellent water quality and rich nutrients can allow sea cucumbers to replenish enough energy before dormancy, and spend the whole summer dormant in summer.

Perennial cold sea water and aestivation habits, such slow growth ensures the excellent quality of sea cucumbers.

The better the water quality of the seawater, the cleaner the growth environment of sea cucumbers and the better the quality.

Aestivation is a unique habit of sea cucumbers in temperate zones. It is an ecological adaptability formed by long-term evolution. The rise in water temperature is the main factor that induces aestivation of sea cucumbers.

During aestivation, the sea cucumber does not eat, squeezes water out of the body, shrinks and hardens, hides in the crevices in the rocks, and no longer moves.

Sea cucumbers at this time are the safest.

It is really as hard as a rock, and no sea life will attack it except humans.

The sea cucumber mainly feeds on small organisms. When there are many seabed organisms, it eats and drinks enough every day. However, after summer comes, the microorganisms on the seafloor float to the surface during the day and return to the seabed at night.Sea cucumbers are very sensitive to temperature. When the water temperature exceeds 20 degrees Celsius, they will migrate to deeper seabeds. Since there is no food in new places, sea cucumbers will enter a state of aestivation.

For sea cucumbers in aestivation, the temperature of the sea water in aestivation is generally 20-30 degrees Celsius. The aestivation period starts from June and July and ends in September and October. Uu reading books generally take about three months.

Li Xuan and Yang Hua surfaced together and returned to the boat.

"Hey, Brother Xuan, Uncle Yang, why did you come up here?" Qin Bin was sitting on the deck eating snacks, watching Li Xuan and Yang Hua climb up from the bottom of the sea, he was very curious.

"I found something good on the bottom of the sea, but I couldn't get it out from the crevices of the rocks. Let's get on the boat and find a shovel." Yang Hua said.

Li Xuan said: "The shovel is useless, the bottom is full of rocks, we raised the shovel on the bottom of the sea to produce, and we were very hard by the resistance of the sea water, and it would be good to have one point left. Even if we use a shovel, we can't shovel it." That crevice."

Yang Hua frowned, "Then what should I do? There are so many sea cucumbers, so I just don't want them?"

Father Li also came over at this time, and he was a little pleasantly surprised: "Sea cucumbers? Sea cucumbers hiding in rock crevices are not easy to catch? Sea cucumbers hide in the rock crevices, hiding their heads and showing their tails. Run away, the sea cucumber has a defensive measure, as long as it is touched lightly, a jet of water will be shot from the head, and it will go far away immediately."

Li Xuan glanced at his father, before Yang Hua spoke.

"Lao Li, if the sea cucumbers hide their heads and show their tails, would I still come to the boat early in the morning to find the shovel? The sea water in this sea area is very shallow, full of care, and the temperature is so high. The sea cucumbers below are all aestivating. They are hiding in a nest. In the crevices of the rocks, it is impossible to reach out."

Li Xuan also nodded, and gave an overview of the situation under the sea.

In fact, usually, there are many ways to deal with such sea cucumbers, such as using hooks, but sea cucumbers during aestivation are as hard as a stone, and the hooks cannot reach them. If you want to catch those sea cucumbers from the bottom of the sea, I can only find a way to make the rock crack bigger.
