Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh fish damage
Watching Taylor venting his anger, he drove the boat on the river at top speed for almost ten minutes before he stopped and drove the boat back to the horse head and tied the cable to the pier. Thornton opened the car door and Guyan, Taylor and the other three
I took out a few chairs from the back of the pickup truck and sat down directly by the river to start having lunch. Uploaded by Wu Jiu Literature Book Friend
Ju An bit the beef burger in his hand and asked Taylor: "How come the fish are so overpopulated and the government doesn't take care of it?"
Taylor took a bite of his hamburger and said: "The government has long wanted to control it, but it has never been able to find a good way. It has tried poisoning, pulling up power grids, and a series of other methods, but none of them worked. Thornton knows better. His ex-wife used to do it."
Jean Thornton of Fish Conservation said.
Thornton said: "Last year, Obama invested more than 50 million US dollars to control Asian carp. The old method used to be poisoning. Who knew that Asian carp seemed to be invulnerable to all poisons? Thousands of fish were poisoned and no one was found in the end.
How many Asian carp are there, all native fish, Yili
There was an intensive poisoning by the government in the Noi River. Tens of thousands of fish died. Finally, a half-sized Asian carp was found among the corpses. Now the government has to cook fish every time it prepares to poison the river.
This kind of value assessment consumes a lot of manpower and material resources."
Ju An was stunned when he heard this. Good guy, this silver carp is so fierce and is not afraid of poisoning. Think about the water quality in China compared with the water quality in the United States. Who asked you, the United States, to protect the rivers so well? Why don't you go to other places?
When it comes to opening chemical plants, if you set up a few high-polluting enterprises locally, you're sure that this big-headed silver carp will also fail. The key is to blame the U.S. government for insisting on environmental protection.
Ju An thought for a while and asked: "Then how did this fish come from Asia to the United States?" It couldn't be that the Chinese brought it from China. If so, the domestic government should bring him a trophy or something.
, it’s not easy to give the whole United States a headache.
After taking a sip of beer, Thornton continued: "It's not like who brought this in. In the past, there were too many plankton in domestic rivers, and the government wanted to introduce fish species that feed on plankton to control plankton in rivers and lakes. This way
Asian carp was selected and the fish was introduced from China to the United States.”
When Ju An heard this, he said, my dear, this was brought in by your own government. Then you can’t blame the government for the ugliness of people. It’s something done by your own government. The old American government thought it introduced a fish talent that can control microorganisms. Who?
In the end, I realized that I had introduced a disaster, but it was in line with the American approach.
They are the best in the world at doing things, and good things are often messed up by them. There is no second in this world. Look at how he originally supported Saddam, but in the end Lao Saddam went against him. He originally supported Bin Laden, and this guy finally became
The terrorists even brought in some fish and ended up in a mess. Others really can't learn this skill.
"At the beginning, the plankton control was very good, but as the fish population gradually expanded, trouble began. These Asian carp are very capable of laying eggs. A female Asian carp is estimated to be able to lay millions of eggs.
, before long the entire river was mostly filled with these fish, and an Asian carp is said to be able to eat half of its own body weight in a day
For food, native fish simply cannot compete with this kind of Asian carp. The survival of many fish species is threatened. At this time, the government began to think of ways to control these fish. Now, Asian carp continue to invade new rivers.
, By the way, why is it that Asian carp is no big deal in China, but is a big problem in the United States?"
Ju An smiled and said: "Actually, the Asian carp you mentioned has several names in China. The one with the big head is called silver carp. Some are called carp, and one is called fat-headed fish. I don't know its scientific name. Anyway, China
People like to eat these fish very much, in many ways
There are many ways to eat it, such as braised in braise, grilled with charcoal, fish head with chopped pepper, etc. Nowadays, these fish in China are basically artificially bred, and wild fish can basically not be seen in the market. "Silver carp."
Ju An didn’t know how to say it in English, so he gestured with the Chinese pronunciation.
Thornton shrugged his shoulders and said: "These fish have too many spines, which are too troublesome to eat, and the taste is not very good, so we don't like to eat this kind of fish."
Ju An was stunned when Thornton said, "You can't blame the fish for this guy. If you don't blame yourself, who can you blame? If you encountered so many fish in China, it would probably take less than two years to eat them all for you."
. But it’s no wonder that the old Americans eat this.
If the food is either boiled or grilled, there are no big tricks to play with, and there is no creativity. It really tastes boring: "If you don't want to eat it, you can just limit these fish to fixed rivers. How come they are almost the same?"
All over the United States.”
"The government has also thought about using nets to control these fish in fixed waters, but as you have seen, these fish can jump and jump quite high. A one or two meter high net is nothing to them, and
These fish are quite smart and will avoid fishing nets. Facts have proved that in order to control these fish, the nets must be deployed far away from the river surface. If it were not possible to stop these fish at all, now these Asian carp are increasingly endangering the waters of the Great Lakes."
Thornton said.
Ju An knows that the Great Lakes in the United States supply water to tens of millions of people in the United States. No wonder the American government is so nervous. But having said that, Ju An just doesn't understand how the fish in the river can threaten it.
I’ve been to the Great Lakes. When I was in China, I drank tap water every day in Ju’an.
They were taken out of the Yangtze River, and they don’t know what happened to them. The Americans are too pampered. As the old saying goes, the carp jumped over the dragon’s gate. When the carp came to the United States, it brought the skills of its ancestors to the extreme, turning a superpower
The government is in such a mess that it is indeed a great person, no! A great person.
Thornton asked Ju An: "There is another Asian fish that is more powerful, the snakehead fish. Did you know that China is also one of its origins?"
"What snakehead fish? Why have I never heard of it?" Ju An asked after hearing this for a moment.
Taylor explained at this time: "It has teeth in its mouth. It is very fierce and lives by eating other fish. It has black and gray markings on its body. It is said to be very common in China."
Ju An thought for a moment and said, "You are talking about the snakehead fish, right?" Ju An seems to have seen no other common ferocious fish in China except the snakehead fish. This guy is very expensive in China.
Thornton listened and nodded: "Well, it's this fish. Basically all the native fish in the waters where it lives have been eaten. The government thinks that this fish is like this and has revised the fishing order. Anyone who catches this kind of fish will be killed regardless of size."
This snakehead fish is very powerful. I knew this when I was in China. I had a relative at home who kept fish. As long as there is a snakehead fish in the pond, the pond will be unlucky and will not be able to raise any fish unless you put it in.
After catching them, Ju An shrugged his shoulders and said to Thornton and Taylor: "I have a good idea. I can directly catch two of these fish and make them into cans and sell them to Asia. This solves the fish problem.
It’s good to have increased income again.”
Taylor smiled and asked: "How much do these Asian carp fetch per pound in China?".
"It's estimated to be about five yuan, which is a little over fifty cents in U.S. dollars. It's about the same price. Blackfish is a lot more expensive, about ten or twenty yuan per pound." Ju An calculated it in his mind.
Said to Taylor.
After hearing this, Taylor said: "The fishermen catch the fish in the river and then send it to the processing factory. Considering the wages of workers in the factory, even in Asia, the price is probably not affordable. The cost is too high."
After hearing this, Ju An nodded and said, "That's right." You can't blame me for this. You don't eat it yourself, and the labor costs are high. This guy wants to kill the fish so easily. What's the use of just complaining about the fish?
Why don't you reflect on yourselves? The fish that lives peacefully in China will become a disaster when it comes to you.
As I thought about it, another idea came to my mind: instead of asking the domestic government to talk to the US government about building a few more towns near these rivers, we could just immigrate one to two million people from China, no matter what your name is.
, fried, boiled, braised and eaten all by you. It will probably take less than a few years to control the fish damage. If that doesn’t work, one or two million people will come here temporarily.
It’s okay to live there. Don’t give me a green card. Just get a temporary residence permit from China. After eating, the worst thing is spending money to send one or two million people back soon. I don’t know if more than 50 million will be allocated this year.
How many years have to wait? How about letting the US government provide round-trip air tickets for domestic fish lovers, inviting them to come to the US to eat fish for free, and then send them back when they are full.
The root cause of this so-called fish harm is that not many people in the United States eat these fish. If the U.S. government is afraid of this or that, it can invite some domestic foodies to come over and train Americans. Don’t choose the location and just open it in some Confucius Institute.
A new course, how to eat fish. If people all over the United States fall in love with this fish-eating sport, it is estimated that there will be no harm to fish. By then, the U.S. government will be happy, the American people will also learn the skills of how to eat fish, and China will also solve the problem.
The people of China and the United States are very happy about the re-employment issue.
After two bottles of beer and a hamburger, the three of them got back on the boat as Thornton and Taylor talked about the problem of fish damage in the United States. This time, Thornton was driving the boat, and Ju An took out the camera in his bag.
I took pictures of the fish jumping around and the scenery on both sides of the river. The scenery was actually woods, tall weeds, and the hazy snow-covered mountains in the distance.
Thornton drove the boat around for a while, and then asked Ju An to drive it. Ju An got into the driving seat and learned how to start it. He started driving after three clicks, five divided by two. There was a steering wheel, and there was no special need for paddling.
It was easy. I drove the boat happily and asked Thornton to take some photos of myself. There were many photos of the boatman and the fisherman. I waited to put them in my own space when I went back in the evening for the students.
Open your eyes and show off yourself too.
