I have a sea in ancient times

Chapter 218 Caught a mermaid?
Lu Hai pulled the net cautiously. The last two rows of fishing nets must have big fish. This time, his movements were much gentler, and he was afraid that it would be broken just like last time.

It feels so good.

Probably sailfish.

There are indeed sailfish activities in the vicinity, and it may be tuna. The waters where sailfish live overlap with tuna quite a lot.

Lu Hai doesn't expect bluefin tuna too much. It's okay to buy the most cost-effective bigeye or yellowfin tuna. As long as you come with two, you can make a fortune today.

Lu Hai looked forward to it excitedly.

Keyola felt something was wrong, and after a big round head surfaced, Lu Hai felt something was wrong.

This didn't look like a fish, much less a sailfish.Tuna or something, it has a round head, small eyes, and the lower body looks like a dolphin, but it has a pig's mouth.

After seeing this kind of creature, Lu Hai was shocked. He recognized this kind of sea creature. In fact, it is quite famous. It is said that it is the prototype of the mermaid.

Dugong:

A kind of sea cow, a marine herbivorous mammal, mostly appears in the seagrass about 20 meters away from the coast, sometimes enters the estuary with the tide, and returns to the sea with the ebb tide after feeding. It is the only vegetarian in the ocean.

At the same time, it is also a national first-class protected animal. Lu Hai looked at it and found that this dugong is about two meters long. Judging from its size, this dugong should have just grown up not long ago.

The whole body was entangled by fishing nets, and some parts were bloodstained. It seemed that he had been struggling for a long time, and now he looked very weak.

Even the eyes are a bit dim, and the condition is very bad. This mammal needs to surface regularly to breathe.

Lu Hai doesn't know when he will net it, but for dugongs.

Lu Hai didn't expect it either.

His brows were furrowed.

For a fisherman, he also understands what can be caught and what cannot be caught. Even marine life cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately.

He and Monday used all their strength to pull the dugong onto the fishing boat and cut off the fishing nets wrapped around it.

Lu Hai took out the plastic tube of the oxygen machine from the bucket, and inserted it directly into the dugong's nose.

After being pulled ashore, the dugong cooperated very well, and did not make any violent resistance, and probably had no strength to resist.

It's just that Lu Hai discovered that the dugong's armpits each have a round protrusion, which looks a lot like the lactating organs of land animals.

It may be because of the pressure from the transportation, that the white liquid oozes out, and the dugong's eyes are always fixed on the direction of the fishing net, which makes it look very sad.

Lu Hai realized in an instant that he had not only caught a dugong, but if he guessed correctly, it should be a young mother dugong.

Lu Hai accelerated the speed of netting.

Juvenile dugongs breathe much more frequently than adults. If they are kept in nets for too long, they will drown directly.

Lu Hai didn't bother to deal with the oxtails, groupers, and mullets on the fishing net, and threw them all aside. Sure enough, it didn't take long.

Another round head surfaced, this one was obviously much smaller, its whole body was up, and it seemed that it hadn't reacted.

see this scene.

Lu Hai sighed. Although it was not what it wanted to happen, it was unavoidable, but since it was already dead, it couldn't be wasted.

He had never eaten dugong meat before, so he didn't know how it tasted, but when Lu Hai had this idea, God seemed to refuse to let it come true.

Not long after the little dugong surfaced, its fins patted the surface of the water. Although it didn't have much strength, it seemed to be alive.

Lu Hai and Monday also dragged it onto the fishing boat and placed it with its mother. Sure enough, after the little dugong was dragged up, the mother dugong leaned against it with all her strength.

He even lifted up his fins, exposing the lump, as if he was going to feed it.

Maternal love is really great. Although Lu Hai was a little moved, it was okay, but he has long been used to this kind of scene after watching animal documentaries all the year round.

The group of BBC photographers has always only recorded without interfering with the normal development of animals. Even if some animal cubs are swallowed alive or are about to starve to death, they will not rescue them.

Because this is the law of nature.

The weak eat the strong.

Speaking of which, Lu Hai has always been curious about how this animal survived to modern times.

If you want attack power, you don't have attack power.

He's still a vegetarian.

Sharks like to eat it, killer whales also like to brush it, and crocodiles will not let it go, and their fertility is also extremely low. Each litter only produces one cub. The pregnancy cycle is 13-18 months, which is longer than humans.

And the second child will be separated by three or four years.

But nature is so miraculous, the reason why all things can continue, naturally has its reason, the premise is that you really don't meet human beings.

Because of the nickname "Mermaid" on its back, this product has been killed by humans to the point of extinction, and there are still many places where its meat is used as a tonic.

It is said that the southernmost province and the westernmost province near the sea have previously caught dugongs and used them as food.

Lu Hai pulled out another oxygen tube and stuffed it directly into the nostril of the little dugong.

After a while.

The two dugongs regained their vitality one after another. The elderly mother dugong protected the little dugong and stared at Lu Hai and Monday vigilantly, as if she didn't trust them very much.

See them rejuvenated.

Lu Hai and Monday didn't care whether they resisted or not, and threw them back into the sea again.

Lu Hai was not so kind as to raise them. After the two "mermaids" were launched into the water, they were very excited and rolled around the boat several times.

Subsequently
Lu Hai really saw the scene of the "mermaid" breastfeeding, and couldn't help feeling a little bit, how blind the ancient people were, who will tell me, what is the beauty of this.

After the dugong cruised for a while.

He left the fishing boat and didn't know where he was going. Lu Hai really hoped that it wouldn't go too far, or it would run into the area where it hit the rocks last time.

There are not many sharks in general.

Don't go there for delivery.

After collecting the fishing nets, Lu Hai asked Monday to help sort out the seafood. This time the catch was just as he expected, and it was really terrible.

Most of them are crabs, even with grouper, sea bream and so on, which are much less, but many mullet and small pipes were caught today.

just OK.

However, this is more like fishing. The situation of fish on the bottom of the sea itself is more complicated. Lu Hai knows that there are many fish on the bottom of the sea.

But sometimes, they don't want to move at all, just like their aunt has come.

Netted and went home.

It's just that Lu Hai glanced at the weather on the sea, and the expected strong wind and heavy rain did not come. This was one of his few forecasts that were wrong.

It just made Lu Hai feel strange.

The weather will be fine tomorrow.

But why did he feel that the temperature on the sea suddenly dropped several degrees.
