Ye Yuan, who was originally looking for a school of fish, was attracted by such a beautiful sea creature.

But it was only because he felt that he was in the sea that he dared to get so close to this jellyfish.

If Ye Yuan himself were in the sea, even if he saw such a beautiful jellyfish, he would turn around and avoid it without hesitation.

Although jellyfish look beautiful and docile, most of them are actually very ferocious.

Under the umbrella body, there are many slender tentacles, which are not only its digestive organs, but also its weapons.

The tentacles of jellyfish are covered with stingers, which can shoot highly toxic venom.

The prey shot by these venoms will be paralyzed in a short period of time, and some may even die directly.

As far as Ye Yuan knew, there were no less than a dozen species of jellyfish, and their venom could kill humans within a few minutes.

I remember that when he was in school, the instructor who taught him how to dive repeatedly emphasized that if you encounter a jellyfish under the sea, no matter what type it is, you must leave immediately.

From this point you can see how terrifying jellyfish are.

While I was following the jellyfish wandering under the sea, I suddenly saw another strange landscape under the sea.

Tens of thousands of blue crabs were migrating. Crab migration was a very common thing in the sea. At first, Ye Yuan didn't pay much attention to it.

But when he saw the size of these blue crabs, he became a little less calm. The average blue crab only has 4-6 taels.

The blue crabs that Ye Yuan saw now were each 25cm in size. Just by looking at their size, one could tell that these blue crabs were the best of the best.

Now that he saw it, how could he miss such an opportunity? Ye Yuan told Ding Yi through the intercom to change the route, and the fishing boat soon arrived above the blue crab army.

"Changing the Bottom Trawl"

Ye Yuan issued orders to the crew.

No one on the crew had any doubts, and they quickly replaced the original seine net with a bottom-frame trawl net.

"Load the net." Following Ye Yuan's command, the fishing net was slowly lowered into the sea.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the fishing net that was cast had been floating on the sea for nearly half an hour.

With the great anticipation of all the crew members, the fishing nets were slowly collected on the fishing boat as the motor made a dull sound.

Every crew member on the ship has their necks stretched in preparation for the expected harvest. When they saw the big bag of sea crabs, the crew members knew that the harvest of this net would not be small again.

As the bottom shell was uncovered, a large bag of blue crabs was instantly scattered on the deck. The crew members swarmed to the crab pile and quickly put some very active blue crabs into plastic cages.

The plastic cages used to hold sea crabs have many small holes. In the past, many fishing boats used foam boxes to hold crabs.

But later people discovered that this kind of plastic cage is more suitable for fishing boats to carry than foam cages, so now many fishing boats going to sea will bring this kind of plastic cage with holes to hold crabs.

Crabs are different from fish. As long as they are dumped on the deck, they will crawl everywhere, so this not only requires the crew to be fast when sorting these crabs, but also has someone to stand on the periphery and use plastic Shovel, to spawn some active sea crabs back into the crab pile.

The crew members no longer sorted crabs all over the place, everyone was very fast. Even Ye Yuan, a person who usually doesn't do much, joined in the work of sorting crabs.

Sorting crabs not only requires different sizes, but also male and female crabs. As for how to distinguish male and female crabs, it is not easy for the crew.

Whether it is sea crabs or river crabs, the easiest way is to look at their abdomen.

The abdomen of male crabs is triangular and pointed, while that of female crabs is round or oval.

If you can't tell the difference with this method, there is another way, and that is to look at the crab legs.

For female crabs, only the front two legs of the crab legs have thin velvet, while for male crabs, all eight legs have dense velvet.

In a short time, all the blue crabs on the deck had been sorted and put into the special plastic cages.

Just when everyone wanted to stand up and take a rest, You Zhiyong's loud shout attracted everyone's attention.

"Damn it! Isn't this turtle too big?"

Everyone looked around and saw a 1.5-meter-long turtle lying quietly on the deck.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw the turtle. He quickly stepped forward to check and found that the turtle didn't have any injuries, so he felt relieved.

I weighed the turtle with my hands. Good guy, it weighed over a hundred kilograms at least.

"Is this a leatherback turtle?" Yu Hongbo asked Ye Yuan uncertainly.

"Yes, it's this guy. I didn't expect that we would encounter him today. We are lucky."

"Is it delicious?" Ma Hua asked quickly.

Ye Yuan was speechless. He glanced at Ma Hua who asked such an idiotic question, and said with a sympathetic expression on his face:

"He has been included in the 2013 Red List of Endangered Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IU), and is a Level 1 protected animal under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Do you still want to eat it?"

"Holy shit, doesn't that mean it's on the same level as the giant panda?"

Ma Hua's eyes widened.

"Wrong, to be precise, it is one level higher than the giant panda. As early as 2016, the giant panda has changed from endangered to vulnerable.

But this is only an international classification. In China, giant pandas and leatherback turtles are classified as first-level protected animals. "

Ye Yuan recalled the information in his mind and introduced it to his crew.

"Good guy, you don't see any difference in it? It just has one less shell than the ordinary turtle. Why is it so rare?"

Ma Hua murmured as he reached out and groped around the leatherback turtle.

Ye Yuan shook his head. Ma Hua's ignorance gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.

"The leatherback turtle is the largest turtle in the sea and the most useful turtle. It is said that every leatherback turtle can travel around the world. Ours is not that big. The largest one in the world is over 2.5 meters long. The weight is as high as 916 kilograms."

After listening to Ye Yuan's story, the crew members took out their mobile phones and took photos with this very docile leatherback turtle.

Ye Yuan was also not exempt from the custom. After all, such a large leatherback turtle is still rare. After everyone took a group photo, several crew members worked together to return the leatherback turtle to the sea.

After the turtle returned to the ocean, it didn't leave immediately. It actually followed the fishing boat.

Great White and Little Shark noticed that a turtle suddenly appeared next to the fishing boat. They swam toward the leatherback turtle in two directions regardless of whether they protected animals or not.

The crew did not see Great White and Little Shark. After all, Ye Yuan discovered them through perception. Now the crew members are standing on the deck looking at the leatherback turtle that has been following the fishing boat.

Many people were relieved to see the leatherback turtle, which was a way of expressing its gratitude to the humans on board.

This is better than some people. How many people in today's society have you helped them, only to then turn around and plot against you? If you really want to say it, such people are really worse than animals.
