Su Jing picks up the giant shell to read back and forth. Its length is about 25 centimeters fully, the probably five jin (0.5 kg), the average person two hands can take, the shell is firm, seemingly appears the small dish shape, the lower valve sticks out slightly, the upper valve is flat, the first ear breaks out slightly, latter ear suddenly disappearance full circle obtuse shape. The shell delivers in person the sepia, the umbo scale level is close, the shell after skirt scale level dissociation shape is obvious. 苏璟捡起巨大贝壳来回翻看。它长度足有二十五厘米左右,大概有五斤,一般人两只手才能拿得过来,贝壳坚厚,看上去呈碟形,左壳稍隆起,右壳较扁平,前耳稍突起,后耳突消失成圆钝状。壳面呈棕褐色,壳顶鳞片层紧密,壳后缘鳞片层游离状明显。 „This seems like pinctada maxima.” Su Jing more looked that more eye shines, pinctada maxima also names the big mother-of-pearl shell and white spiral earl oyster, is tropical and double shell shellfish of subtropical sea, is the South Sea unique earl oyster plants in China. 90% that the pearl reserves are about various entire Hainan kind of earl oyster total reserves, produces the pearl pellet to be big, the luster is good, the price is high, is the precious ornament and medicinal herb, in international pearl market very for popular, has the extremely high economic value. “这好像是白蝶贝。”苏璟越看越眼睛发亮,白蝶贝又名大珠母贝、白螺珍珠贝,属热带、亚热带海洋的双壳贝类,在中国是南海特有珍珠贝种。其珍珠蕴藏量约占全海南省各类珍珠贝总蕴藏量的90%,所产珍珠颗粒大,色泽好,价格高,是名贵装饰品和药材,在国际珍珠市场上很为热门,有极高的经济价值。 However, because the quantity are small, the value is high, is listed as the national II levels of protect animals, bans to catch. 不过,因数量较少,价值较高,被列为国家II级保护动物,禁捕。 „Little Hu, you in the pinctada maxima where picks?” Su Jing asked that in he has not gone to break open this pinctada maxima to have a look to have the pearl, because does not want to kill it, after all was the national II levels of protect animals. Heard that some people skills are wise, can open the shell to take out the pearl, the shell can also live, but that technique without doubt and has a surgery equally difficultly, Su Jing did not confess that level. The wild shell breeding pearl has very big fortuitousness, in this shell has the possibility of pearl not over 1%. “小虎,你在哪捡到的这白蝶贝？”苏璟问道,他没有去想破开这白蝶贝去看看里面有没有珍珠,因为不想弄死了它,毕竟是国家II级保护动物。听说有的人技巧高明,可以打开贝壳取出珍珠,贝壳还能活下来,但那种手法无疑跟动手术一样困难,苏璟自认没有那种水平。况且,野生的贝壳孕育珍珠存在很大的偶然性,这个贝壳里面有珍珠的可能性不超过百分之一。 „In that side.” Orca(Killer Whale) turned the head to call one toward the open sea. “在那边。”虎鲸转头往外海叫了一声。 „Leads me to go.” Su Jing took the net sack and pontoon, jumped up the back of Orca(Killer Whale), Orca(Killer Whale) then carried Su Jing to cleave the waves speeds away to go, swam for probably 20 minutes, was far away from the Su Family Village coast, approached an unmanned island, this sea area had many small islands, has not undergone the development. “带我去。”苏璟带上了网袋和潜水镜,跳上了虎鲸的背,虎鲸便载着苏璟破浪疾驰而去,游了大概二十分钟,远离了苏家村海岸,靠近了一个无人小岛,这片海域有不少小岛屿,都没经过开发。 From unmanned island about 300 meters time, Orca(Killer Whale) called one to remind Su Jing, then drilled into, crash quick dive, even if by Su Jing's physical fitness, felt that quickly chest cavity oppression, was exceptionally uncomfortable. The people are not the fish, is hard to withstand the change of rapidly hydraulic pressure. 距离无人小岛三百米左右的时候,虎鲸叫了一声提醒了一下苏璟,然后一头钻入了海里,急速下潜,哪怕以苏璟的身体素质,都很快感觉到胸腔压迫,异常难受。人不是鱼,难以承受水压的急速改变。 „Slow.” Su Jing hurried to pat Orca(Killer Whale), squeezed out two characters with the way of expiration. Orca(Killer Whale) then reduces speed the speed, the submergence, ten meters and 15 meters and 20 meters...... the average person dives 10 meters to feel the eardrum stabbing pain slowly, the scant of breath, some specialized divers can dive 15 meters, even 20 meters. The limit of submergence is the person resists the hydraulic pressure the limit, is resists within the body physiological function the limit. “慢点。”苏璟赶紧拍了拍虎鲸,用吐气的方式挤出了两个字。虎鲸这才减慢速度,缓缓下潜,十米、十五米、二十米……一般人潜十米已经感到耳膜刺痛,呼吸困难,一些专业潜水者能下潜15米,甚至20米。下潜的极限就是人对抗水压的极限,也是对抗体内生理功能的极限。 In January 2000, Cuban Francisco Ferreras, without carrying the air cylinder, only through oneself vital capacity adjustment breath holding one's breath, set 162 meters free diving record in Gulf of Mexico. 2000年1月,古巴人弗朗西斯科·费里拉,在不携带空气瓶,只通过自身肺活量调节呼吸屏气的情况下,在墨西哥湾创下162米自由潜水记录。 Su Jing current physical fitness, absolutely far supernormal person, therefore dived slowly twenty meters, still without many feelings, to about 50 meters deep seabed, felt an discomfort, and was not affected much. 苏璟目前的身体素质,绝对远超常人,所以缓缓下潜到了二十几米,依然没多少感觉,一直到了五十米左右深度的海底,也只是感觉到一丝难受,并无大碍。 Su Jing looks toward the seabed by the pontoon, discovered this is the seabed is the reef gravel geology, is growing few seabed plants, there are many pinctada maxima, some are crawling, some had died, calmly lies down in the seabed. 苏璟透过潜水镜往海底看去,发现这是海底是岩礁砂砾地质,长着少量海底植物,有不少的白蝶贝,有的在爬行,有的已经死去,静静地躺在海底。 Su Jing directs Orca(Killer Whale) to draw close to the seabed vanguard, opens front huge pinctada maxima, inside is completely empty, turned several continually, finally sees in one to lie down a diameter about ten millimeters pearl, what a pity the naked eye can see that is not very round, the luster is also common. 苏璟指挥着虎鲸贴近海底前行,翻开前面一个巨大的白蝶贝,里面空空如也,一连翻了好几个,终于看到一个里面躺着一颗直径十毫米左右的珍珠,可惜肉眼就能看出并不是很圆,色泽也一般。 Su Jing continued to turn looks, cannot hold was air/Qi on the Shanghai surface breath, then got down, the pearls were found by him, the quality had advantages and disadvantages, some should also be worth several thousand dollars of over ten thousand Yuan even. 苏璟继续翻找,憋不住气了就上海面呼吸,然后再下来,一颗又一颗的珍珠被他找到,其中品质有好有坏,有的应该还值得了几千块甚至上万元。 „, Big.” Su Jing sees a shell suddenly, fully more than 30 centimeters, making Orca(Killer Whale) bring to swim in the past, opened looked, immediately the eye stared the eldest child, inside is lying down a white pearl, over 15 millimeters, moreover was very clear and is full of the gloss, unable to see a slight defect, although Su Jing did not know the business, but could also see, this pearl value was not absolutely low. “哇,好大。”苏璟忽然看到一个贝壳,足有三十多厘米长,让虎鲸带着游了过去,翻开一看,顿时眼睛瞪得老大,里面躺着一颗白色珍珠,十五毫米以上,而且十分圆润、充满光泽、看不到一丝瑕疵,虽然苏璟不太懂行,但也看得出,这颗珍珠价值绝对不低。 Su Jing turned looked for one, almost turned nearby pinctada maxima looked, found a 50-60 pearl, besides that perfect, in addition more than ten qualities were not bad, other were very general. 苏璟又翻找了一阵,将附近的白蝶贝几乎都翻找了一遍,找到了五六十颗珍珠,除了那颗完美无瑕的之外,另外还有十几颗品质也不差的,其他则是很一般。 „Walks, takes a look everywhere.” “走,到处去瞧瞧。” Su Jing has not gone back immediately, making Orca(Killer Whale) bring, shuttles back and forth in the seabed, is enjoying the scenery of seabed by the pontoon, although is in the seashore, but has not actually dived is so deep, plays in the deep sea like freely, is the first time. 苏璟没有马上回去,让虎鲸带着,在海底穿梭,透过潜水镜领略着海底的风光,虽然身在海边,但却也没有潜水这么深,像这样在深海中自由自在地游玩,还是第一次。 Su Jing may see the seabed all kinds of coral, seaweed, fish, shellfish and crab class, Seabed World can, describe with bizarre absolutely all sorts of strange and unusual, Su Jing does not bump into an acervularia carefully, has not thought that coral moved suddenly, then one group of black ink spurted, originally is an octopus camouflage. 苏璟可看到海底各种各样的珊瑚、海草、鱼类、贝类、蟹类,海底世界绝对可以用光怪陆离、千奇百怪来形容,有一次苏璟不小心碰到一丛珊瑚,没想到那珊瑚突然动了,接着一团黑墨水喷了出来,原来是一只章鱼伪装的。 Su Jing meets the quite strange shell and chonophyllum and so on thing, the casual attire enters the net sack, this wants to take away to sell actually not, after all also value several money, but wants to take in the family/home to collect. 苏璟遇到比较稀奇古怪的贝壳、血珊瑚之类的东西,便装进网袋,这回倒不是想要拿去卖,毕竟也值不了几个钱,而是想要拿回去家里收藏。 Su Jing is also thinking at heart, the seabed did not have many ancient sunken wrecks, if oneself can find one, inside packed the ceramics and gold, silver, and jewelry and so on, that gained sent greatly, but the wreckage had not found one piece pitifully. 苏璟心里还想着,海底不是有很多古代沉船吗,要是自己能找到一艘,里面装满了陶瓷、金银珠宝之类的,那就赚大发了,不过可惜残骸都没找到一片。 „Un? Is it possible that fish is......” “嗯？那条鱼莫非是……” Su Jing notices a fish suddenly, is a bit like some precious fish, what a pity has not seen clearly, then saw it to sneak in the coral reef. 苏璟忽然注意到一条鱼,有点像某种名贵鱼类,可惜还没看清,便见它钻进了珊瑚礁中。 Su Jing directed Orca(Killer Whale) to swim rapidly in the past, crushed into a piece of coral, that fish continued to hide, but Su Jing this saw clearly, that truly was humphead wrasse, it has the forehead that stuck out high, like the hat that Napoleon wore, therefore there is the name of Napoleon. 苏璟指挥虎鲸迅速游了过去,挤进了一片珊瑚,那条鱼继续躲,不过苏璟这回看清楚了,那确实是苏眉鱼,它有着高高隆起的额头,就像拿破仑戴的帽子,所以有“拿破仑”之称。 humphead wrasse is wrasse species, is a build biggest, the life span longest coral fish, generally may live for over 30 years. Since long has been treated as the economical fish to trade, is fresh and tender, is very famous delicacy, but because the quantity are small, is expensive, one kilogram humphead wrasse may sell to 200 USD, a fish lip may sell to 300 USD. 苏眉鱼属隆头鱼科,是一种体型最大、寿命最长的的珊瑚鱼类,一般可活30年以上。长期以来一直被当作经济鱼类进行交易,肉质鲜嫩,是很有名的美味,但由于数量少,价格昂贵,一公斤苏眉鱼可卖到200美元,一盘鱼唇更可卖到300美元。 However, the research in most areas indicated that because the humphead wrasse population level just the commercial trade gradually reduces, the proportion of its sharp decline once reached as high as 90%. Many juvenile fish without being reproductive age was caught, causes the adult fish that can reproduce to be getting fewer and fewer , but the wrongdoing in fishing process threatens incessantly is the survival of species, including frail coral reef ecosystem. 不过,在大多数地区的研究表明,苏眉鱼的种群数量正因为商业贸易逐渐减少,其锐减的比例一度曾高达90%。很多幼鱼在没有达到繁殖年龄时即被捕获,造成能繁殖的成鱼越来越少而在捕鱼过程中的不当行为威胁到的不止是物种的生存,也包括脆弱的珊瑚礁生态系统。 humphead wrasse was listed as the endangered species in 2004 «International Union for Conservation of Nature», in 13 th CITES in October of 2004( Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) at congress, humphead wrasse( was included CITES Appendix II, received the strict protection of CITES convention. 苏眉鱼在2004年的《世界自然保护联盟红皮书》中被列为濒危物种,在2004年10月召开的第13届CITES(濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约)大会上,苏眉鱼被(被列入CITES附录II,受到CITES公约的严格保护。 „Yeah, is the endangered species.” “哎,又是濒危物种。” Su Jing still not because benefit greatly illegal, does not pass to watch humphead wrasse always, many people only know humphead wrasse to be delicious, but actually forgot humphead wrasse is also a decorative fish. 苏璟依然不会因为利益大就违法,不过去观赏一下苏眉鱼总可以吧,很多人都只知道苏眉鱼好吃,但是却忘了苏眉鱼本身也是一种观赏鱼。 Su Jing controls Orca(Killer Whale) to shuttle back and forth in the coral reef, because Orca(Killer Whale) big, can only select the crevice big place, found 4-5 strip humphead wrasse in the coral reef one after another, the size varied, small several jin (0.5 kg), big more than ten 20 jin (0.5 kg). 苏璟控制虎鲸在珊瑚礁中穿梭,因为虎鲸个头大,只能挑空隙大的地方,陆续在珊瑚礁中找到了四五条苏眉鱼,大小不一,小的几斤,大的十几二十斤。 „I force to go, that is also humphead wrasse?” “我勒个去,那条也是苏眉鱼？” Su Jing sees a huge form suddenly, the eye stares the eldest child, directed the Orca(Killer Whale) rapid roaming in the past. 苏璟忽然看到一条巨大的身影,眼睛瞪得老大,指挥虎鲸迅速游过去。
