Reborn in 1990, a life of fishing and gathering seafood.

Chapter 120: Encountering White Dolphins at Sea [Please Subscribe]

After finishing the squid.

Fang Haocai and Fang Qiang set sail.

We set off quite late today!

It's important to know that many fishing boats set sail in the dark as early as four or five in the morning, or even six or seven in the morning, and must get to the designated sea area to cast their nets before dawn.

Otherwise, if you wait until the sun is high in the sky before setting off, you might not even get a hot meal.

But...

There's a reason why Fang Hao and Fang Qiang went out to sea so late today. One reason is that they went out to catch squid last night and came back too late. Another reason is that Fang Hao needs to process the squid and dry them.

I've been working all morning.

Finally, they managed to prepare the dozens of kilograms of squid and put them on the rack to dry.

This matter is quite dependent on the weather!

You have to take advantage of the good morning sun to dry one side first, and then flip it over in the afternoon to dry the other side, so that both sides are dried evenly.

Even the squid's tail has a thicker triangular shape at the end, which will stick to the squid's body when drying, so it's best to tie it up directly with a small bamboo skewer when drying.

This way, the tan will be more even and beautiful!

It will take some time and effort.

maritime.

"Brother Hao!"

"These bottles, jars, and traps have been sitting here for so long, and I didn't expect to have such a good haul today. I hope the remaining traps will catch something valuable like golden pearls."

When collecting the traps.

Fang Qiang said to Fang Hao.

After all, they didn't go out to sea to harvest yesterday because they went to the city, but after two days and two nights, they still had a good harvest.

Fang Qiang also tasted the sweetness of Jin Zhenzhu.

Now I'm hoping for another stroke of incredible luck!

That's what going to sea is really like.

Every time someone sets sail to collect their catch, they always hope to return with a full load.

This is a thought that every fisherman has, just like buying lottery tickets. Every time you spend two dollars, you definitely hope to win the grand prize.

"Hahaha!"

"That's hard to say."

"Just keep a calm mindset—if you're lucky, it might work; if you're unlucky, well, that's another story."

Fang Hao said with a smile.

Theoretically speaking.

The longer it's left out, the more stuff accumulates.

If you're unlucky...

You might not be able to catch anything.

Some people in the village would leave fish traps in the sea for several days before taking them in, hoping to catch more seafood.

As they were talking.

The two continued to put away the ground cage.

The speed is still very fast.

This thing doesn't require as much care as a fishing net, and it's even more troublesome to untangle fish with it.

The fish traps are all put away directly.

Then shake the contents out.

One by one, the cages were connected together.

Some people reaped more rewards!

Some harvests were less!

It all comes down to luck.

"what?"

"That looks like a dolphin???"

Just as the two were chatting and putting away the traps.

Fang Hao suddenly noticed three figures appearing a thousand meters ahead.

Two white and one pink!

Every now and then, they would leap out of the sea in neat formation.

Her graceful and agile swimming style made people want to take a second look.

dolphin?

Or is it an inverted dolphin?

Fang Hao exclaimed in surprise.

I didn't expect to encounter white dolphins even though we set out to sea late today.

This thing is very famous.

Known as the giant panda of the sea!

It was already listed as a Class I protected animal in China in 88.

The waters off southern Guangxi provide them with an excellent habitat and breeding environment.

The body color of Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins changes with age. Juveniles are dark gray, while adults, due to the development of subcutaneous blood vessels, turn a romantic pink when congested.

We could still occasionally run into each other in the 1990s.

The villagers also really like this thing.

View it as the Mazu fish!

They even call it the "sea-suppressing fish"!

Encountering white dolphins at sea is an auspicious sign, indicating a safe voyage and smooth sailing.

Because it frequently rescues people who have fallen into the water at sea!

And he's incredibly smart!

Typically, before fishing, the group will discuss and then divide the work, first driving the fish to shallow waters or surrounding them, thus greatly increasing the success rate of the hunt.

"where?"

"I didn't see any—"

Fang Qiang was stunned for a moment.

Look in the direction Fang Hao pointed.

Unfortunately, it was too far away to see.

For a moment, I was a little confused.

The main reason is that his vision and perception are far less terrifying than Fang Hao's, who can see clearly from hundreds or even thousands of meters away.

"To the southeast!"

"You can see it just by turning your fishing boat around and heading that way—"

Fang Hao immediately gestured and said.

You should know that Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins are a rare sight.

In later generations, their numbers dwindled even further, with many people spending hundreds of dollars just to take a boat trip to see them.

In later generations.

There is also a special protected area in the Sanwan area.

Occasionally, indo-Pacific humpback dolphins can still be spotted, attracting enthusiasts from all over the world.

Now that I finally have the chance to run into three of them, I definitely have to take a closer look.

Countless people throughout history have come to see it.

But people from all over the country traveled thousands of miles to come.

Every time she appears, she causes quite a stir online and is very popular with girls and children.

She's practically the group's darling!

"Brother Hao!"

"Look, there really are dolphins."

As the fishing boat moved quickly across the sea.

They quickly spotted the three white dolphins, which were even occasionally leaping out of the water.

When Fang Qiang saw them, he became very excited and started shouting.

I never expected it to actually be an inverted white dolphin!

Fang Hao just said there are white dolphins ahead.

He looked hard but couldn't see it.

I thought my friend was seeing things.

Unexpectedly, when we caught up by boat, there really were three white dolphins, playing around.

"Um.

"It looks like a family of three."

Fang Hao couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

Two large and one small.

Judging from this setup, it's clear that the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin parents are raising their calf, which is about to reach adulthood. The gestation period for Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins is 10-12 months, and they usually give birth to only one calf per litter.

When the ethnic group is large.

They usually live in groups of 10-30, but sometimes they can form larger groups.

Unfortunately, their numbers are decreasing day by day.

Because they face serious threats to their survival. Human activities such as water pollution, fishing, estuary development, and coastal construction have caused severe damage to their habitats.

and so.

It's normal to see two or three dolphins.

Sometimes, there might even be a lone one.

"It's a pity there was nothing to photograph."

Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head.

We finally spotted a family of three white dolphins!

If you have mobile data, you can take a picture and share it; it might attract attention.

Indo-Pacific dolphins love to leap out of the water!

They are also very intelligent.

Most importantly, they are not afraid of humans.

They even often like to take the initiative to interact with humans.

Among marine life.
