390. The South of the Sea (5)
Most of the archipelagoes have huge reefs around them, and the surrounding water is shallow and clear, creating an extremely good environment for the growth of shallow reef fish. These places are beautiful, shallow and green, just like the sea area around the first island they saw before.
Going further out, the depth of the sea outside the reef pan suddenly increases. You can clearly see its changes from the view from above. The water on the reef pan is green, while the sea outside is blue, which is clearly distinguished.
The Blue Sea Area is a deep-water environment and is suitable for oceanic fish life. Many economic fish species live in these places, such as Morayae family, Snake family, Snake family and Pin family, as well as Mackerel family, Sailfish family, Flyfish family, etc.
The Jiaopanghai District has beautiful scenery and many fish are beautiful. Most of these fish are colorful and uncomfortable swimming in the water.
They are the most nourishing indigenous people living in the Nansha Sea. The sea water here is clear, the water quality is excellent, the food is abundant, the habitat is very good, and the most important thing is that no one catches them.
These fish are pretty, but they are not delicious. There is not much fish meat or delicious. The fish are often small and have no fishing value.
The big dragon head stopped in the reef panhai area, and then the crew started working hard to move around the island to catch the fish in the deep sea area.
Ao Muyang stood at the bow of the boat, watching the sea and islands in a daze, and raised his camera from time to time to take a few photos.
Because few people come here, the scenery here maintains its original ecological appearance, and every photo is a desktop landscape picture.
Ao Daguo walked forward and said, "Longtou, instruct him to go to the Internet cafe."
Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll see the scenery first."
Ao Daguo was puzzled: "What's so good about this? It's just sea water, islands, at most, there are some trees, etc. What's the point of seeing it?"
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "If you can see it, just look at it twice, and these islands will sink into the sea in the future."
Ao Mubing, who passed by next to him, said: "I know this, the greenhouse effect, the melting of Antarctic glaciers, and the rise of global sea levels. It is said that the islands in Maldives will be submerged in decades."
Ao Muyang shook his head: "It's not just this, but these islands in the South China Sea are subsidence."
Ao Daguo also shook his head: "Impossible. I used to watch TV. The islands in the South China Sea are made of sediments. They can be measured according to their altitude. They are rising all the time, and they can rise by one centimeter a year."
Ao Muyang said: "When did you see this? This view has long been eliminated. The current scientific research results show that the islands are subsided here, and as the islands go from old to new, the settlement speed is getting faster and faster. Especially the coral reef platforms in the Xisha have large bases and small top surfaces, and the overall pagoda shape is called sea-soaked reefs..."
Several people looked confused: "What does this mean? Will these islands disappear?"
Ao Muyang Zheng pointed out: "Yes, sea levels will rise, and the sediments that make up these islands will gradually dissolve by sea water, the area of the island will gradually shrink and will never increase again."
"That's over," Ao Daguo said deflatedly, "How could this happen? When will these islands disappear? Just like the Maldives, will it be fifty years later? Then, how can my grandson come here to fish in the future, how can he find supplies?"
Ao Mubing said: "Uncle Daguo, you think so long-term. If I don't care, I don't even have a wife, let alone a son, so how can I have a grandson?"
Ao Mudong said: "I am different from you. I have a group of grandchildren."
"Where did you get your grandson?"
"They are from Wangjia Village, and they are all my grandsons."
The group of people burst into laughter and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.
Ao Daguo was still frowning, and he asked, "Longtou, how long will the island here disappear?"
Ao Muyang said: "I can't explain clearly, anyway, the island will settle twelve centimeters every thousand years..."
"Twelve centimeters of settlement in a thousand years?! One thousand years?!"
"yes."
Ao Daguo knew that he had been teased by Ao Muyang, and he was immediately helpless: "Forget the leader, I'd better not think so much. Let's just think about the current situation honestly. As for the millennium plan, let the party worry about it."
In the morning, the sea water rises, and although there are not many rises, the rise in the tide brings changes in the seabed sediments, and the food of fish, shrimp and crabs increases, and they begin to go out in groups to prey.
This is a good time to fish in the net. Ao Qianwen took people to put down a small boat and hung an external string machine behind it. As the machine roared, the boat became full of power.
Ao Muyang got on the boat, he wanted to go to the sea to find the catch, and then direct everyone to get off the net.
Fishing grounds in the South China Sea Islands have abundant aquatic resources, and most of them are recorded. Fishermen just need to follow the map to search for the horse.
Ao Muyang looked at the introduction of the navigation chart and found that the fish in this sea area include brown plum bream, turtle, spotted turtle and tuna, shellfish include black hoof snails, giant clams, and reptiles include sea turtles and hawksbills.
Of course, reptiles are not allowed to be fished. Their targets are fish and echinoderms, which are the so-called sea cucumbers. The water temperature in the South China Sea is high, and the sea cucumbers grow faster and more frequently than the prickly cucumbers in the northern seas.
The boat drove out, and Ao Muyang jumped into the water, absorbing ocean water vapor to condense the golden elixir, while checking the fish in the surrounding sea.
As soon as he entered the water, the tiger swam up and then looked around.
Ao Muyang wondered, is there any danger in this sea? If the tiger is able to pose such a defensive posture, it means that the crisis in the water is quite great.
This is very likely. There are many sharks in the South China Sea. He has to be careful not to capsize in the gutter. After all, this place is not the sea area he is familiar with.
As a result, with a vigilant mind, he followed the tiger's gaze and saw no sharks or anything else, only saw a small group of mice and dolphins playing in the water...
Needless to say, this is the dolphin group that had fought with tigers before. Ao Muyang gave them Jin Di to comfort them and resolved the conflict. He hoped that the dolphins would leave safely, but they did not leave, but came here after chasing the fishing boat.
Or, they are not chasing the fishing boat, but chasing the tiger.
The rats and dolphins were not afraid of tigers at all. After Ao Muyang entered the water, they immediately swam over flexibly, pushing Ao Muyang with their round heads and their signature thick lips to play with him.
The tiger watched coldly: a group of charming people, mistresses!
But the dolphins are all cute and cute. Ao Muyang thinks it is interesting to play with them in the water...
He rode on the dolphin, which was smooth and difficult to fix on it, but the dolphins cooperated with his riding. When he stepped on it, they would slow down their swimming speed so that he could get better balance.
This scene made the tiger irritated: Why, the mistress is coming to power?
