Ye Yuan didn't find any ships here, and he didn't see any traces of people diving under the sea using his senses.

Find Yu Hongbo.

"Let me tell you, I plan to dive here to catch some ornamental fish. Is anyone interested in going down?

The commission is based on the amount of money an individual catches. This is not within the scope of fishing, so you can volunteer and ask everyone for their opinions. "

Ye Yuan had already thought of the reason for diving here.

The crew all know that Ye Yuan plans to build an ornamental fish breeding base in Pinghai County, so no one will doubt that he will catch more ornamental fish this time when he goes to sea.

Of course Yu Hongbo knew about this and didn't think much about it.

Returned and told the crew about this matter.

Ye Yuan went down to the sea alone and quickly dived into the deep sea. The last time he came here was a few months ago, and his diving depth at that time was completely incomparable to what it is now.

Ye Yuan dived deep into the dark seabed, which had exceeded the previous limit and reached a depth of 3,000 meters.

There are very few biological activities here. There are basically no living things on the dark seabed. Ye Yuan still relies on his senses to find the unique black stones on the seabed.

Ye Yuan has been down for nearly an hour and will return to the fishing boat if he can't find it again.

This was not Ye Yuan's limit, but if he didn't go back for so long, the crew would become suspicious.

Just when Ye Yuan was about to give up, he suddenly found a "black stone" the size of a fist covered in sea sand. Ye Yuan excitedly put away the "black stone".

The reason why I am excited is because this shows that there are still black stones in this sea area.

Ye Yuan put away the "black stone" and was not in a hurry to search again. The purpose of coming down this time was to confirm whether there were any black stones in this sea area.

If so, I will find time to go there again alone, this time just to take a look.

Soon Ye Yuan returned to the boat, and on his way back he caught some ornamental fish and put them into his net bag.

By the time he returned to the ship, the crew had returned.

Everyone is reporting their harvest to Yu Hongbo, and Yu Hongbo also uses a notebook to record the number and names of the ornamental fish that everyone finds.

The fishing boat continued to sail south. After several days of formation, the fishing boat finally arrived at the Strait of Malacca near Malay.

Everyone said that piracy was rampant in the Strait of Malacca, but Ye Yuan did not meet him here.

After passing the Strait of Malacca, we entered Ye Yuan's destination, the Indian Ocean.

The Indian Ocean is the third largest ocean in Blue Star, located between Asia, Oceania, Africa and Antarctica. Because the central location of the northern part of the Indian Ocean is India, it is named Indian Ocean.

The Indian Ocean covers an area of ​​70.56 million square kilometers, accounting for approximately 19.5% of the world's total ocean area. Its average depth ranks second after the Pacific Ocean, with the deepest being 9,074 meters.

The Indian Ocean climate has obvious tropical oceanic and monsoon characteristics.

Most of the Indian Ocean is located in the tropical and subtropical ranges, and the vast sea area north of 40° south latitude has an average annual temperature of 15-28 degrees Celsius.

The annual temperature in the equatorial zone is 28°C, and in some sea areas it is as high as 30°C.

The temperature is higher than that of the Pacific and Atlantic waters at the same latitude, so it is called a tropical ocean.

The biological resources of the Indian Ocean mainly include various fish, molluscs and marine animals.

The main fish include mackerel, sardines, flounder, tuna, flying fish and turtles. In the waters close to the Antarctic continent, there are also carp whales, blue whales and Fonvallo whales. In addition, pearls are abundant in the Bahrain Islands in the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, and the coast of Sri Lanka.

This is Ye Yuan's understanding of the Indian Ocean. Since he has never been here before, Ye Yuan will bring a boat to have a look this time.

After all, human life is short. Now that we have a fishing boat, why not see more sea areas that we have never been to?

The fishing boat was sailing on the Indian Ocean, and the blue sky and vast sea came into view. Ye Yuan stood on the bow of the boat, admiring the scenery on the sea. At this time, he heard the crew behind him talking quietly.

"Lao Yu, why doesn't the boss let us get off the net now that we're in the Indian Ocean?"

Ye Yuan didn't need to turn around to recognize Ma Hua's voice.

"The boss is quite experienced. Every time he orders to cast the net, he will basically get a big harvest.

We don’t have the ability, so let’s wait for orders.” This was Yu Hongbo’s voice.

The crew also knew that although it was on the high seas, it was not to the point where they would be able to get a harvest no matter where they set the net.

Everyone knew Ye Yuan's ability to find fish, and they thought Ye Yuan was looking for fish when he was standing on the bow of the boat, so no one dared to come and disturb him.

Ye Yuan also knew the mentality of the crew. At this time, he had begun to use his perception to find fish schools. Now Ye Yuan does not shy away from his ability to find fish schools.

The crew members have known for a long time that Ye Yuan has this ability, so when he gave the order, everyone believed it without any doubt. On the contrary, everyone only became suspicious when Ye Yuan could not find the fish school.

By sensing Ye Yuan, he found that there were no schools of fish in this sea area. This was not because there was a lack of fish resources in this sea area.

But because it was not far in front of the fishing boat, Ye Yuan saw it through perception.

There is a group of sharks hunting three manatees.

The two sides fought fiercely. The sea water nearby is red.

There was also a manatee carcass floating in the ocean.

Although the manatee lives in the sea, it is actually a mammal.

Its shape is spindle-shaped, much like a small whale, but it has a neck. Unlike a whale, its body length is generally 2.5-4 meters and its weight is about 360 kilograms.

Because manatees can store a large amount of fat under their skin, they can maintain their body temperature in sea water.

Its forelimbs were specialized into paddle-like flippers and had no hind limbs, but it still retained a vestigial pelvis.

The trunk is basically hairless, with only whiskers around the lips and vibrissae on the head. The head is large and round, and the nostrils are located above the mouth.

Generally, manatees live in large warm waters, usually in shallow seas and estuaries. Only a few species inhabit rivers.

The fate of manatees is like that of giant pandas in China, which are on the verge of extinction.

This is caused by humans hunting manatees for a long time.

Because sea beef is tender and delicious, the fat is rich in dha and epa, which are beneficial to the human body. It can also refine lubricating oil. The skin can be used to make wear-resistant leather, and even the ribs can be used as a substitute for ivory.

Although the natural mortality rate of manatees is also very high, human hunting is the fundamental reason why they are on the verge of extinction.

Ye Yuan discovered that there were more than ten sharks attacking these manatees, and the leader turned out to be a great white shark.

Since their battlefield was exactly in the direction of the fishing boat, after such a long time, the fishing boat had arrived at the fighting sea area.

Many crew members have also seen the fierce fighting scene not far away.

Sharks are known as the overlords of the sea, and fighting is a common occurrence for them. But on the other hand, these manatees, although larger than these sharks, really have no fighting experience, and they only rely on their huge bodies to defend.
