Chapter 56 Backstroke Whale
All spread out.
Xiang Yang asked the crew to disperse to the side or go back to the deck to rest first, while he swam to the head of the male humpback whale and kept rolling backstroke to expose his abdomen to the surface of the water.
Xiang Yang is very sure that whales can swim backstroke, but Xiang Yang is not sure whether whales can keep still during backstroke. People often see whales playing backstroke in the sea, but so far there is no such thing in the world. There have been literatures of whales floating on the surface of the sea while swimming on their backs.
Although humpback whales are not as intelligent as dolphins and killer whales, they are still very smart.
At first, the male humpback whale didn't know what Xiang Yang was doing, but with Xiang Yang's continuous demonstration, the male humpback whale finally understood after a few times.
I saw the male humpback whale sinking to the bottom of the sea while the waves were tumbling, flipped his body with a powerful flip of his left fin, and when the humpback whale reappeared on the sea surface, it was already belly up.
A group of crew members were about to swim towards this direction, but Xiang Yang stopped them.
Xiang Yang would never allow the crew to get close to the backstroke whale until he knew how long the male humpback whale could maintain the backstroke position, and what position it would turn over to take a breath.
Xiang Yang himself is not afraid, Xiang Yang with the mysterious jade shell is more nimble than a fish at the bottom of the water, no matter what posture the whale turns Xiang Yang is sure to avoid danger, but ordinary crew members can't.
A giant whale like a whale can even create a small vortex when it turns over under the water. In addition, the small fists of the whale are not vegetarian. If a crew member happens to be accidentally slapped by the huge and powerful fin of the whale when the whale turns over, the body may fall apart. .
The stickiness of the barnacles is greatly reduced after leaving the water, and those barnacles are much easier to deal with after the whale floats up to the surface.
Xiang Yang climbed onto the belly of the whale alone, and one by one he broke off the barnacles parasitic on the belly of the humpback whale and put them into his net bag.
The male whale seemed to be enjoying it, and kept gently stirring the water surface with its fins.
The female whale was very dissatisfied, and kept slapping the sea surface with her double fins around the fishing boat. The powerful fins kept turning her body over and causing the waves to roll. Suddenly not helping her clean up the barnacles.
Don't worry, they are tired, let them rest for a while and then continue to clean up for you. Xiang Yang yelled at the female whale regardless of whether he could understand or not, and then continued to concentrate on helping the male whale clean up the barnacles on its abdomen .
Unexpectedly, this voice actually made the female whale quiet down. Maybe the female whale felt the kindness and friendliness in Xiang Yang's words!
ten minutes.
twenty minutes.
After swimming for more than 20 minutes, the male whale began to slowly sink to the sea surface, and soon the sea water submerged Xiang Yang's head.
Xiang Yang's face was solemn and he was ready to swim far away at any time, for fear that the male whale would suddenly slap its fins and turn its huge body over.
Fortunately, as a green forest hero in the ocean, humpback whales are still very loyal.
The male humpback whale did not ignore the existence of Xiang Yang, and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea for one or two meters, and then accelerated its speed towards the deep sea. After sinking for more than ten meters, it turned itself upside down by waving its fins underwater , and then floated to the surface of the sea and made a siren-like sound, and a water column more than two meters high was ejected from the air hole.
After breathing, the male humpback whale swam up to Xiang Yang and touched Xiang Yang with his head.
You have a conscience. Xiang Yang also smiled and touched the big head of the male humpback whale.
Immediately afterwards, the male humpback whale continued to swim to the deep sea, and when it came out, it became belly up again.
You can disembark and continue cleaning the barnacle cylinder. Xiang Yang shouted to the deck.
The next operation went very smoothly. Xiang Yang successfully led the crew to clean up all the parasitic barnacles on the two humpback whales before sunset.
The two humpback whales were extremely excited after getting rid of the parasitic barnacles on their bodies. They kept slapping the water surface on both sides of the fishing boat, and sometimes jumped five or six meters above the sea surface with the momentum of flying, and then fell heavily and set off a huge flower. spray.
A group of crew members frantically waved at the two whales and took photos frantically on the deck.
He Mingde looked at the piles of barnacles piled up on the deck and was quite emotional, I didn't expect a humpback whale to have so many barnacles on its body. I really don't know how these big guys swim thousands of barnacles every year with these things. kilometers.
This is already considered a small number. Xiang Yang remembered a case he had seen before, There are nearly a ton of whale lice and barnacles parasitized on humpback whales, which will not affect their activities in the ocean at all. The two humpback whales should often jump out of the sea, the number of whale lice is very small, and the parasitic barnacles are only a few hundred catties.
Yeah. He Mingde nodded, thinking of a humpback whale he met on the sea before, a large black bump could be seen on the humpback whale from a long distance, when he saw the humpback whale was on the sea surface Frantically slapping the water surface and jumping out of the sea, just want to get rid of the parasitic barnacles and whale lice.
Xiang Yang looked at the excited crew members standing on the side of the ship, and at the pile of barnacles piled up on the deck, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: Uncle, there might be night fishing tonight.
From the harvest point of view, Xiang Yang's harvest today is full. He caught Mr. Fish, saw whales and played with them, and even got hundreds of catties of barnacles, which are known as delicacies from hell.
But in terms of income, both Xiang Yang and He Mingde are losing money.
He Mingde has to bear part of the daily expenses on board the fishing boat and part of the fuel money for the fishing boat. Mr. Wang's fish share caught today is not enough for He Mingde's expenses.
Although Xiang Yang has barnacles as an extra gain, Xiang Yang's expenses are greater than He Mingde's, and he doesn't actually earn much.
It's also good to fish at night. He Mingde nodded and said, We have the most advanced fishing light on our boat. It would be a pity if such a good fishing light is not used. After dark, if we cast a net, the night catch may be better than the daytime fishing. Get bigger.
Xu Fang had already gone to the wheelhouse, and the fishing boat was breaking through the waves.
Zhou Wang pointed to the two humpback whales following the fishing boat and said, It's really a good idea to fish at night, but we have been following these two big guys behind the boat, I'm afraid they won't leave at night!
Xiang Yang and He Mingde looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The two humpback whales on the sea seemed to be attached to them, and they had been swimming with the fishing boat for a long distance without any sign of leaving.
The fishing boat is still fishing in the middle guarded by two such big giants, one on the left and one on the right? Catch a hammer!
Master Xu, let's speed up. There was no good solution for the two humpback whales to follow Xiang Yang. They could only order the fishing boat to speed up through the walkie-talkie to see if they could get rid of the two humpback whales.
Thanks to the old fish monster for the reward of 2000 book coins, and thanks to Xingkong for the reward of 100 book coins. thank you()
