Dragonfish grow up among shallow water reefs in juveniles. Adult fish swim out of the sea and live on the bottom of the sea at 400 meters. They are downright sea fish.
As we all know, Westerners rarely eat whole fish, but prefer to cook steaks. Dragon tip fish is the most popular fillet in New Zealand, and its popularity is quite high.
Because the dragonfish live in cold waters, and their size is not too large, the meat of this fish is quite tender and dense, and it is very delicious for frying and frying or making fish fillet soup.
However, the Japanese do not like this kind of fish. They like to eat raw fish fillets, but dragon-pointed fish is not suitable for raw, because the fish does not have so much fat in it, and it feels far less refreshing and tender than salmon.
After listening to their words, Professor Sandra laughed and said, "Yes, Wang, you guessed it, we have completed the transfer of the living environment of the dragonfish, and it can enter the lake."
The world's aquatic economy is dominated by the oceans. New Zealand has a sprawling coastline and is not short of seawater products. However, marine aquaculture is not so easy and the cost is relatively high, so the desalination of some marine fish has been ongoing.
Take the pointed fish, although it is the second largest commercial fishery in New Zealand, but its production is not very large, up and down 10,000 tons per year, and even in recent years, with the increase of marine pollution, its production has not reached To 10,000 tons.
Therefore, once this fish can be transformed into fresh water, it will be a good thing for the people.
After all, dragon tip fish is not a bargain. If you slice it into fish steaks, it will cost more than NZ $ 20 / kg in the supermarket.
I may be accustomed to the price of the sunset ranch at a few hundred yuan a kilo. This price is very cheap, in fact, otherwise, we must know that New Zealand's marine products are particularly rich, and seafood is very cheap everywhere.
This is related to the overall territory of New Zealand. Both the North and South Islands are two strip-shaped islands, so any city is very close to the sea and the sea fisheries are very rich.
Wang Bo asked how this was done, changing the habit of sea fish to desalination, but that was a big project, and there weren't a few completed now, and Sandra was going to be prestigious.
The professor said proudly: "In fact, it is not difficult. We have used genetic engineering and nano-organ modification science. In simple terms, they have modified their hearts and written these changes in their genes."
"But unfortunately, our technology is not perfect. Compared to marine dragonfish, they don't look very big. It seems that genetic changes have limited their size." Sandra has some regrets. Shook his head.
The adult dragon-headed fish is 50 to 60 cm in length, which is not very large in marine fish. Genetically modified fish can grow up to forty centimeters, and most are only twenty or thirty centimeters as they see.
Wang Bo still felt very powerful, he asked, "Don't tell me, this is the gift you prepared."
Professor Sandra laughed: "Yes, this is a gift, if you are willing to accept it."
Pharaoh exaggeratedly said: "I am too willing to accept, this is the best Christmas gift I have received this year, I bet it is it!"
Professor Sandra said: "It's nothing compared to you allowing us to get up close to freshwater corals."
It is still the credit of freshwater corals. Pharaoh thinks that he should give these corals a medal. They have contributed too much to Sunset Town.
After visiting the University of Lincoln's Fisheries Research Base, it was a bit late. They left and were ready to receive these freshwater dragonfish the next day.
Professor Sandra sent the females and some fry to be produced. The number was not large. His reason was that freshwater products were not easy to transport.
Wang Bo didn't care. With the conservation of the heart of the lake, the expansion of the school of fish is very fast.
Back in the sunset town, the weather is getting hotter and the mosquitoes are increasing.
Professor Sandra and Principal Sallins will come to visit Sunset Town in these days. They will visit each of the new campus candidates and make a final decision.
In response, Bowen said: "Boss, we have too many mosquitoes and the like here, shall we have another mosquito killing activity?"
There are sixteen species of mosquitoes in New Zealand. Of these, twelve species are unique to New Zealand and the other four are exotic species.
The most common mosquitoes are about 5 mm long. Don't look at them for their small size, but they are notorious.
These mosquitoes bite people quickly, with high frequency, high toxicity, and slow recovery. They are very suspect. They can also spread malaria, which has been raging in New Zealand for a long time in history.
Back when European immigrants and Maori were at war, the latter used mosquitoes to pack up proud white aristocrats. They caught a large number of mosquitoes and sneaked into white camps to let go. The harassment they had suffered was unbearable.
New Zealand's environment is good, and there are many pristine grasslands and jungles. This is not only good, but also bad. It is the mosquito breeding.
Sunset town also has this problem, especially in the wild. Several hills have the nickname 'Mosquito Mountain'. People who go to these places in spring and summer are often bitten by mosquitoes.
Few people know New Zealand's native mosquitoes, and many of these little creatures are rumored and speculated. Because of the 12 unique species of mosquitoes in New Zealand, most only harass birds and consume their blood.
There are three types of mosquitoes most threatening to humans: striped mosquitoes, southern salt marsh mosquitoes, and brown house mosquitoes. It is these three kinds of mosquitoes that Bowen wants to mobilize to eliminate.
Striped mosquitoes, in particular, are the most abominable. They are named after the white stripes on their legs. They are crazy mosquitoes that bite humans regardless of day and night, and they fly without sound, claiming to be the smallest killer.
Wang Bo hasn't suffered this much. The heart of the castle has the ability to drive away mosquitoes, but most people don't live in the castle, and the townspeople are very disturbed every summer.
Bowen's proposal is in line with the people's mind. After he put forward, the people even held a small party to respond. Seeing this, Wang Bo followed the public's opinion and decided to come to the town to kill mosquitoes.
So in the next few days, the cleaners drove around with forklifts, pickup trucks and garbage trucks.
First of all, this needs to clean up garbage and small puddles. Wang Bo put forward the slogan, "There is no other waters in the territory except the Twin Lakes."
Every family has also packed up the bottles and cans in the front and back of the house. Once these bottles are filled with rainwater on rainy days, they will become the breeding grounds for female mosquitoes, and mosquitoes breed in these places.
As soon as such activities are carried out, it will also greatly help the town's cleaning work. The ditch is cleaned, the puddles are filled and the lawn is paved, and the entire sunset town is renewed.
