"The satellite computer can count it, I went to ask, this time there are about 2.2 million birds, which is a rare super-large short-tailed shearwater flock in recent years, and you can sit and fish for 220,000 yuan a day." Hamley's look of your boy's luck.

Qin Shiou was really happy when he heard it, the Canadian government is good, and the protection of fishermen is in place. According to Shaq's estimates, these birds will stay for a week, which is about 1.5 million yuan, which is much more cost-effective than fish farming.

However, instead of directly transferring the money to the card, the government gave him a shopping voucher of equivalent value, and asked him to go to a seafood company to buy fish feed, fish medicine, or fish fry, shrimp fry, crab fry, etc.

In short, the Canadian government is also working hard to protect fishing grounds and develop fisheries.

The short-tailed shearwater is small and fat, but it doesn't look amazing, but in fact they are global migratory birds, flying twice a year across the entire globe.

Beginning in early May each year, they gradually wander in small groups towards the North Pacific Ocean, from the equator north through Japan, the Ogasawara Islands, California to the east coast of Canada, and then all the way to the Arctic.

Therefore, Qin Shiou did not see them before, because of the transfer in the first half of the year, they did not pass through the Atlantic.

In the second half of the year, in November ♀↘, they fly east from Alaska to Newfoundland and then along the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands, where they spend the harsh winter.

The swarms are a help to the fishermen, and they can ask the government for compensation, but the damage they have done to the fishery is true, so Shaq will ask later. Do you want to find a way to get rid of these seabirds in advance?

Qin Shiou shook his head and refused, migration is the nature of seabirds. Before the island had not yet established a fishing ground, these seabirds went from here. You can't be so domineering. In fact, they occupy the living space of these seabirds, and it is only natural that they feed and rest here.

Listening to his words, Winnie hugged him and smiled sweetly, as for what to laugh at, Qin Shiou didn't know.

Not only did he not drive away the short-tailed shearwaters, but Qin Shiou had not deliberately caught them.

Short-tailed shearwater is a very good meat bird, but because they inhabit either the extreme south or the far north, they are not usually easy to catch. It is only when they migrate through a place that the people of that place can feast on their mouths.

Upon learning that the flock of short-tailed shearwaters had arrived at Farewell Island, many people in St. John's came running with bird nets in high spirits. The flock of birds is too dense, and you can catch a dozen or even dozens of them in one net, which is the real 'stick beating roe deer, scooping fish, pheasants flying into the rice pot'.

Qin Shiou hated this kind of hunting of wild animals, and he and Hamre issued a statement: private fishing grounds, no entry.

In this way, the people of St. John's had to go to the public fishing grounds if they wanted to hunt the short-tailed shearwaters.

But the town's public fishing grounds are crowded with tourists, and Chinese cameras are snapping there, if they hunt short-tailed shearwaters. Then it's a shame to be thrown out of the country.

I have to say that the Canadian's su zhì is still good, and the group came to walk around with bird nets, and finally walked away with a few birds.

Stayed in the fishing grounds for six or seven days. In the early hours of the morning at the end of November, the flock of short-tailed shearwaters once again set out on the expedition.

Qin Shiou became a witness, and he stood on the pier. Countless seabirds seem to have received instructions suddenly, spread their wings and soar from the surface of the sea. A cloud of clouds with barely visible boundaries flew south......

The tiger and leopard stay on the beach with some melancholy, and they have a lot of fun with the short-tailed shearwaters these days. Or, they have a good time playing with the short-tailed shearwaters, and the birds fly away, and the days are going to be boring again.

Watching the figure of the short-tailed shearwater slowly move away, Qin Shiou's shocked mood did not subside for a long time, and he carefully took a photo and sent it to the space, with a name: The greatness of life.

The seabirds disappeared at the sea level, Qin Shiou walked down the dock slowly, and after walking to the beach, he took a look, I damn it, there are a lot of white things, what is this? Bird poop?

Looking carefully, Qin Shiou was happy all of a sudden, these are all bird eggs! That's a lot of eggs!

Yes, on the vast beach, there are a lot of gray-white bird eggs scattered together, Qin Shiou only looked for more than 100 square meters of beach around him, and found twelve bird eggs, if the entire beach is turned over, how much will it get?

When the birds left, Shaq and the others took the boxes to the beach, and the group lined up and began to look for the eggs.

Qin Shiou ran over and asked, "Is this what you call the gift of the seabird?" Haha, a lot of eggs, that's good. ”

Shaq laughed, "It's just a small gift, boss, and there are more important gifts to come." ”

"Don't hang on the boss's appetite, tell him the truth." The sea monster said.

Shaq nodded and said, "It's the fishery doctor, the excrement of the short-tailed shearwater has attracted the fishery doctor, and the shrimp such as Peter Songyan shrimp, hedgehog shrimp, and mouth shrimp crickets have come to our fishing ground." ”

After listening to Shaq's introduction, Qin Shiou knew that short-tailed shearwaters like to feed on shrimp, but as we all know, shrimps are marine benthic organisms, which means that they live on the bottom of the sea.

As a result, short-tailed shearwaters have a hard time catching these foods, and over time their excrement contains a mineral, phosphorus. These minerals phosphorus are essential for the growth of shrimp such as Petersson rock shrimp, hedgehog shrimp, and mouth shrimp crickets, and they will follow them to feed.

Every place where the short-tailed shearwater group stops to rest, it will slowly attract a large number of shrimp such as Peterpine rock shrimp, hedgehog shrimp, and mouth shrimp crickets, which is a compensation they give to the fishing grounds.

Qin Shiou originally wanted to control the sea god's consciousness to go to the sea to have a look, but Sha Ke and the others were picking up bird eggs, and he also participated.

The breeding season is from late September to early May, when they lay eggs, and over the course of seven days, more than 2 million shearwaters lay at least tens of thousands of eggs on the beaches of their fishing grounds.

The eggs are concentrated in several places, which is related to the breeding habits of short-tailed shearwaters, they like to nest in burrows on the coast or islands, and often nest together in large groups to breed, so the nests are quite dense, with an average of one nest per square meter.

These nests are of the simple type, where the mother sits in a sand nest with her claws and lays her eggs, and if it is a habitat in the Arctic in September, the short-tailed shearwater spends a month digging a hole and laying eggs.

In addition to leaving so many eggs, the unqualified parents of the short-tailed shearwater also left behind many old birds and young birds that could not keep up with the population.

For nature, this is normal, and the birds are using guò in this way to weed out the unqualified in order to promote the evolution of the population.

In the morning, all the birds left, but in the evening, many young and old birds flew back.

Looking at these birds, Winnie said with some distress: "They will all die, as long as the cold snap comes, they will freeze to death." Even if they can withstand the cold current, there is no food to supply them on the surface of the sea in winter, so they will starve to death. (To be continued......)
