Chapter 1172 1157. Kill the Mosquitoes (35)

Juveniles grow among shallow water reefs, and adult fish swim out to the sea and live at a depth of 400 meters. They are seawater fish through and through.

As we all know, Westerners seldom eat whole fish when they eat fish, but prefer to cook fish steaks, and dragon tip fish is the most popular fish fillet in New Zealand, and its popularity is quite high.

Because dragon tip fish lives in cold waters and is not too big in size, the meat of this fish is quite tender and compact. It is very delicious when used for frying, frying or making fish fillet soup.

However, the Japanese don’t like this kind of fish. They like to eat raw fish fillets, but the dragon tip fish is not suitable for eating raw, because the fish meat does not have so much fat in it, and it feels far less refreshing and tender than salmon when eaten raw.

After hearing what they said, Professor Sandra laughed, and he said: "Yes, Wang, you guessed it right, we have completed the desalination of the living environment of the dragon sharp fish, and it can enter the lake."

The world's aquatic economy is mainly based on the ocean. New Zealand has a sprawling coastline, and there is no shortage of marine products. However, marine farming is not so easy and the cost is relatively high, so the desalination of some seawater fish has been in progress.

Take dragon tip fish as an example, although it is the second largest commercially caught fish in New Zealand, its output is not very large, about 10,000 tons per year, and even with the intensification of marine pollution in recent years, its output has not yet reached to tons.

So once this kind of fish can be desalinized, it will be a great thing for the common people.

After all, dragon tip fish is not a cheap commodity. If it is sliced ​​into fish steaks, it will cost more than 20 New Zealand dollars/kg in the supermarket.

You may be used to the price of hundreds of dollars per kilogram in Sunset Ranch. This price is very cheap. In fact, it is not the case. You must know that New Zealand’s marine products are very rich, and seafood is very cheap everywhere.

This is related to the overall territory of New Zealand. The North and South Islands are two elongated islands, so any city is very close to the sea, and the sea fish is rich in fish.

Wang Bo asked how this was done. Changing the habit of seawater fish to desalination is a big project, and not many have been completed so far. Sandra is going to be awesome.

The professor said proudly: "It's actually not that difficult. We used genetic engineering and nano-organ modification science. Simply put, we modified their hearts and wrote these changes in their genes."

"Unfortunately, our technology is not perfect. Compared with the marine dragon pointed fish, they are not very big. It seems that the genetic changes have also limited their size." Sandra felt a little regretful shook his head.

The length of an adult dragon tip fish is 50 to 60 centimeters, which is not very large among seawater fish. The genetically engineered fish can grow up to forty centimeters at most, and most of them are only twenty or thirty centimeters as they saw.

Wang Bo still felt very powerful, he asked: "Don't tell me, this is the gift you prepared."

Professor Sandra smiled: "Yes, this is a gift, if you are willing to accept it."

Lao Wang said exaggeratedly: "I am so willing to accept it, this is the best Christmas gift I have received this year, I bet it is!"

"It's nothing compared to the fact that you're allowing us to get up close and personal with freshwater corals," said Professor Sandra.

It's still due to the freshwater corals. Lao Wang thinks it's time for him to give these corals a medal. They have contributed too much to Sunset Town.

After visiting the aquatic research base of Lincoln University, it was getting late, and they left, preparing to receive these freshwater dragon sharp fishes the next day.

What Professor Sandra sent was the female fish to be born and some fry, which were not many. His reason was that freshwater products were not easy to transport.

Wang Bo doesn't care. With the maintenance of the heart of the lake, the fish population will expand very quickly.

Back in Sunset Town, the weather is getting hotter and there are more and more mosquitoes.

Professor Sandra and Principal Sallins will visit Sunset Town in the past few days. They will visit each candidate site for the new campus and make a final decision.

In this regard, Bo Wen said: "Boss, we have too many mosquitoes and the like here, shall we carry out an extermination of mosquitoes and insects?"

There are sixteen species of mosquitoes in New Zealand, twelve of which are unique to New Zealand and four are exotic species.

The most common type of mosquito is about 5 mm long. Despite their small size, they are notorious.

These mosquitoes bite quickly, have high frequency, are highly toxic, and recover slowly. They are very annoying. They can also transmit malaria, which has been raging in New Zealand for a long time in history.

As early as the war between European immigrants and the Maori, the latter used mosquitoes to clean up the proud white nobles. They caught a large number of mosquitoes and smuggled them into the white camps and released them. They once harassed them unspeakably.

New Zealand has a good environment and many primitive grasslands and jungles. This not only has advantages, but also disadvantages, that is, the breeding of mosquitoes.

Sunset Town also has this problem, especially in the wild. There are several hills nicknamed 'Mosquito Mountains'. People who visit these places in spring and summer are often bitten badly by mosquitoes.

Little is known about New Zealand's native mosquitoes, and much of what is known about these tiny creatures is hearsay and speculation. Of the 12 mosquito species that are unique to New Zealand, most only harass birds and feed on their blood.

There are three kinds of mosquitoes that are the most threatening to humans, the striped mosquito, the southern salt marsh mosquito, and the Brown house mosquito. It is these three mosquitoes that Bowen wants to mobilize to eliminate.

Especially the striped mosquitoes, these mosquitoes are the most hateful, they get their name from the white stripes on their legs, they are crazy mosquitoes, they bite humans regardless of day and night, and they fly without sound, known as the smallest killer.

Wang Bo has never suffered from this kind of pain. The heart of the castle has the ability to repel mosquitoes, but most people do not live in the castle, and the townspeople are disturbed by it every summer.

Bowen's proposal was in line with the popular will. After he made it, the people even held a small gathering to respond. Seeing this, Wang Bo followed the public opinion and decided to go to the whole 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 requires cleaning up garbage and small puddles. Wang Bo put forward the slogan of "there are no other waters in the territory except Shuangzi Lake".

Every household also packed up the bottles and jars in front of and behind the house. Once these bottles are filled with rainwater on rainy days, they will become breeding grounds for female mosquitoes, and mosquitoes breed in these places.

Once this kind of activity is carried out, it will also be of great help to the cleaning work of the town. The ditches will be cleaned, the puddles will be filled and the lawn will be laid, and the entire Sunset Town will look brand new again.
