My Manor

"This thing, a little bit of venom, is enough to kill everyone on our ship!" After rinsing the wooden board with seawater and putting it back in the hold, Philemon said with a smile.

In fact, under the ocean, just like on land, there are poisonous creatures everywhere. Not only the known ones, such as sea snakes, jellyfish, and sea anemones, but also many fish are poisonous. Some of them are poisonous in their meat, some are poisonous in their eggs, some have poisonous fin spines, some have poisonous internal organs, and some have poisonous blood, and so on.

In China alone, there are more than a hundred species of fish with poisonous spines. In comparison, the Atlantic Ocean is slightly more peaceful than the Pacific Ocean.

There are many creatures that you don't even know are poisonous, but in fact, they are poisonous.

For example, catfish. There are 3,000 species of catfish in the world, but in fact, more than half of them are poisonous. Who would know this if you don't tell them?

There are many poisonous fish left. Not to mention the river gizzard and the thorn gizzard, which everyone knows, other fish like the star-watching, dragon-teng, and Dufu are all poisonous. So if you are not very familiar with marine life, it is really dangerous to go to sea.

There are not many shark attacks on people every year. Except for the tiger shark, the ocean madman, few sharks will add humans to their diet. The number of people killed by shark attacks every year is much fewer than the number of people killed by these marine poisons! So since he decided to go into the water, Jiang Hai listened very seriously.

After all, this is about his own life. Everyone knows that Jiang Hai has no special features, just one feature: cherishing life.

While introducing and driving the boat, unknowingly, the land in the distance had already become vaguely visible. At this time, Edward also stopped the boat. Jiang Hai saw his action and couldn't help but be stunned. What's the point of stopping the boat in this place where there is no village in front and no shop behind?

"Come, sort it out!" Edward said to Philemon, ignoring Jiang Hai's doubts. Hearing Edward's words, Philemon immediately put on his clothes, put on gloves, and started sorting.

Although the main goal of this trip is to check the seafood resources nearby, some of the seafood in this tank can be eaten, and some cannot. We can't take them all back. The inedible ones will be thrown back into the sea, and the edible ones will be kept. Of course, the dead ones will also be thrown away. They won't eat them if they are not fresh.

After listening to the two people, Jiang Hai muttered in his heart that he was a spendthrift, but he also started sorting.

However, his main goal was those sea cucumbers and sea urchins. By the way, there were also crabs. These things, these people don't eat the first two, and they can't really throw them away. For Jiang Hai, these things were all fun.

As for crabs, although Europeans and Americans eat crabs, they are really wasteful in eating them. Basically, they only eat crabs that have walked away because the meat inside the legs is thick. As for the internal organs of the crabs, they are unwilling to eat them. They have to admit that these wasteful things are useless.

At the moment, Jiang Hai did not say much. He went to the sink first and picked out the crabs, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins. Seeing Jiang Hai's actions, Edward and Philemon here also laughed. They didn't know what was so delicious about these things.

Compared with the things Jiang Hai picked, they picked more fish, but not the fish to eat, but the fish to throw away.

They don't eat all the fish of the damselfish class, and there is no way to eat them. It is hard to say which of these fish is poisonous.

So all the clownfish, light gill fish, damselfish, blue damselfish, bright blue damselfish, etc., which are valuable fish in the domestic ornamental fish market, were thrown away by them. Then there are some fish that are less than 15 centimeters in size, which are also thrown away by them, including the grouper. For them, such small fish are not necessary to eat.

But for Jiang Hai, it was a waste. After all, such a big fish is actually a commercial fish that can be sold in China.

But in Europe and the United States, it is still a fry. It's so annoying. I don't know when I can eat grouper.

Fortunately, there are many fish that are ready to be thrown away, but there are still a lot of fish left in the tank. These fish are basically more than 20 centimeters long. There are cod, herring, and bonito that Jiang Hai often sees. This fish is actually a kind of tuna, but it is the least valuable one. There is also red snapper. This fish is more common in the near sea, more in the Pacific Ocean, and slightly less in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a sea bass family and tastes good. There is also mullet, which is what we call mullet in China.

Generally speaking, there are three top-quality caviar: salmon roe, sturgeon roe, and mullet roe. Mullet refers to this mullet. This fish can be found everywhere in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but it is a temperate fish. If it weren't for the fact that Boston has an ocean climate, which is not cold even in winter, I guess these fish would have migrated south long ago.

When they were picking the fish, they threw away the unwanted fish. Their actions also attracted the attention of several birds in the sky. With the sound of birds singing, these birds also flew down from the sky.

They went to pick up the small fish thrown away by Edward and Philemon. Seeing this scene, Jiang Hai was shocked.

"Aren't these birds afraid of people?" Jiang Hai said in surprise, looking at the birds hovering above the boat.

"Of course they are not afraid. No one will catch them here." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon also laughed and said.

"These seabirds are all friends of our seafarers. Not only can they help us relieve boredom, but most importantly, where there are seabirds, it means there is land. Land means there is fresh water and food. In this way, we can be guaranteed at sea, so our relationship with seabirds is still very good." Seeing Jiang Hai's puzzled expression, Edward also laughed and said, then raised the height of throwing the fish in it again and threw it to these seabirds.

"And the Americans have a lot of feelings for seabirds. I think you know, boss, that our national bird is the bald eagle. We have a special feeling for seagulls. It is said that in the middle of the last century, European and American ladies liked to put seagull feathers on their hats, so seagulls were once on the verge of extinction. Later, women in Boston established an association to protect seagulls. Later, when developing San Diego, Utah in the west, there was a locust plague there. Fortunately, seagulls flew over and ate all the locusts, which allowed the first batch of immigrants to survive. So here, these little guys are all friends." After Edward finished speaking, Philemon started talking quickly. It seems that this guy's mouth is really busy.

"What kind of seabirds are these, seagulls?" After listening to their introduction, Jiang Hai was also very interested. He picked up a small fish and threw it into the air. Soon, the small fish was picked up by a seabird in the air and flew away quickly.

"No, this is a puffin. Seagulls are bigger than them. There are some in the woods of our manor, but we haven't seen them for a while." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Philemon introduced them.

"No, there are still a few. Look at those ones, which are obviously bigger. They are seagulls. Their scientific name seems to be Arctic seagulls." After Philemon finished speaking, Edward chuckled and pointed to a few larger ones among the group of seabirds. He smiled and said to Jiang Hai. Hearing his words, Jiang Hai also looked over. Sure enough, there were a few guys over there that were bigger than the birds next to them.

Compared with puffins, these guys are much more domineering. When there is a fish, they will grab it at the first time. If they don't grab it, they will start to grab the fish in the mouths of other puffins, just like robbers.

But in nature, the strong prey on the weak. Not to mention just snatching a piece of your meat, even if they want to eat you, they have to endure it. This is the law of nature.

Jiang Hai is not a good guy. He is not willing to drive these seagulls away. He just increased the force of throwing fish.

For a while, feeding these guys was really interesting. Edward saw Jiang Hai's actions and deliberately slowed down his actions. Since Jiang Hai was willing to play, he would leave more for the boss.

"Chi..." But just when Jiang Hai was having fun, suddenly there was a crisp chirping sound in the sky in the distance. With this chirping sound, the seabirds that were originally surrounding the boat flew away in an instant.

After the birds flew away, Jiang Hai saw two small black dots in the high sky, chasing each other one after another.

With his eyesight, he could only see two birds, but he didn't know what kind of birds they were.

"It seems to be an albatross and a sea eagle." Philemon, who was standing next to him, took out his own telescope and looked at it, and said with some doubt. However, he did not feel confident when he said this, because albatrosses are southern birds. He used to see them often when he was sailing in California, but they are not common in the northern area, especially in Boston. Even if they can be seen, it is in the summer. Now it is winter, and these birds probably went to the south for the winter. After all, he is not a fisherman, so he can only be sure that the bird in the back should be a sea eagle, but he is not sure about the one in the front.

"It is an albatross. Except for this kind of bird, no other bird has a wingspan that is so much larger than that of a sea eagle. It seems that this bird must have something going on, so it did not go to the south for the winter." Compared with Philemon, Edward, who has been dealing with the ocean for most of his life, knows much more. He glanced over and said with certainty. While the three of them were watching, the two birds also cut through the sky like two sharp arrows and disappeared in the distance. Since the birds have disappeared, the three of them turned their eyes back.

Since there were no seabirds to feed, they were too lazy to throw them one by one. After all, it was already late, and the sun had already set nearly a third of the way below the sea level. They didn't have time to dawdle anymore. Jiang Hai and Philemon lifted the tank next to them that contained the unwanted fish and dumped them directly into the sea. At this time, a dorsal fin stood up.
