Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

As for Wang Lu, the smile on his face betrayed his mood.

After all, these are all effects brought about by the system.

"Boss, this harvest is really rich. Your luck has always been the best I have ever seen!"

Parker was already so impressed with his boss's luck that he could only sigh with emotion.

Even the boatmen on the chartered fishing boats had a look of envy in their eyes. If they usually entered the lake area to fish, they would be thankful that they could get half of the harvest in one net.

The ship owner even regrets why he rented out the fishing boat. Wouldn’t it be nice for him to fish by himself?

However, he looked at the veterans with guns and ammunition on the deck and shrank his neck, not daring to show any more emotions.

Wang Lu ignored the petty thoughts of the shipowners and shipwrights, and was busy examining the harvest from the Internet.

Parker watched as the boatmen picked up the fish from the trawl net and announced their names.

"Tilapia is pretty big. Boss, I believe you should be familiar with this fish. There are quite a few of these fish in our Dome River. It can be considered the most famous fish in Africa. "

"African lungfish, this is an old friend too!"

"Oh look, boss, there are some native light gill fish here! I have to introduce this fish to you. Before these Nile barramundi were introduced, light gill fish had always been the most abundant and most native species in Lake Victoria. The main commercial fish, the entire lake area could catch about 750,000 tons of fish in the 1960s and 1970s, 80% of which were these light-gill fish!"

Listening to Parker's introduction, Wang Lu also looked at the few light-gill fish that had just been taken off the trawl net with a surprised expression. Their appearance was not surprising, except that the fish tail was as long and slender as a pair of scissors.

What Parker said next made Wang Lu even more stunned.

"But as time goes by, the light gills in the entire Lake Victoria area have been preyed on by these Nile barramundi, and the production has been greatly reduced. The number in the entire lake area has dropped much compared to the beginning. Now it’s much harder to catch a light-gill fish in the lake than a Nile barramundi!”

All of a sudden, the seriousness of the ecological damage caused by these Nile barramundi is intuitively reflected, and not only that, these Nile barramundi have finished preying on these herbivorous fishes that are smaller than themselves. , and will also attack other predatory fish. When there is nothing left to kill, they will focus on lower crustaceans such as freshwater shrimps, crabs, and even aquatic insects.

In short, they hunt all other creatures in the lake equally. In the end, they will not let go of any other species. The large Nile barramundi will hunt the same species smaller than itself when there is no other food to prey on. ···

"The wild dace is also an unlucky guy who was hunted miserably by the Nile barramundi!"

Parker was still talking about the introduction, and his expression became more and more surprised.

“Oh my god, it’s hard even for locals to catch these fish at the same time!”

Whether it is light gill fish, African lungfish or wild dace, they can already be regarded as a minority group in the entire Lake Victoria area. You usually have to try your luck to catch some, but today they were all caught at once. Come up.

That's why Parker was so surprised.

But soon his attention was attracted by a Nile barramundi weighing forty or fifty pounds. Although this was not as good as the giant fish that the Bantu fishermen had obtained before, it was still quite rare. Soon professionals came over and used special tools to drive the signal tracker into this guy's body. The whole process was quick and safe and would not cause any harm to this Nile barramundi. In the next period of time, , this guy will be carrying a signal tracker to carry out activities in Lake Victoria.

"Boss, this guy has arrived at the right time. The Nile barramundi is too big and grows slowly and has no reference value. It is too small and cannot withstand the injection of this signal tracker."

Parker also said with a smile.

Just when Wang Lu and others were all paying attention to this Nile barramundi, several boatmen burst into cheers again.

Wang Lu turned around and discovered that these boatmen were putting several fish into the oxygenated water tank nearby.

Wang Lu immediately noticed the colorful colors on the bodies of these small fishes, which were very dazzling in appearance.

Parker on the side stood up immediately when he saw these fish catches:

"Oh boss, it seems your good luck continues!"

Wang Lu did not answer the call, but waited for this guy to introduce him.

"These are the unique colorful mullet fish of Lake Victoria. You have also seen that their appearance is beautiful, right? So many people breed them as ornamental fish. Originally, they were just one of the many native fish species in Lake Victoria. But because the Nile barramundi are almost hunted, their increasingly scarce numbers have actually caused their value to skyrocket.”

While talking about Parker, he looked at Wang Lu, expecting his boss to ask.

But Wang Lu just raised his eyebrows and waited for his next words. Parker could only spread his hands. His boss didn't like to show off on his own, so he quoted the price of these colorful mullet.

"A pair of colorful mullet like this can be sold for three hundred to seven hundred dollars in the market, depending on the quality! If these fishermen along the lake can catch just one pair, it will be enough to cover their expenses for several months!"

Hearing this, Wang Lu was stunned for a moment. The price was no longer cheap.

No wonder those boatmen were so excited just now.

Seeing that there were four or five colorful mullet fish caught, Wang Lu immediately said that he would keep a pair and take them back to the entire aquarium to keep as ornamental objects, and the rest would be used as tips for the boatmen. Got it!

Of course, some of the remaining fish and shrimps caught were put back into Lake Victoria, while the rest were brought back to stew in a pot of miscellaneous fish. Isn’t that a delicious little taste?

Afterwards, the fishing boat lowered several more nets, and there was no doubt that they all harvested quite a lot.

The Nile barramundi is still the protagonist. The distribution density of these guys is indeed a bit exaggerated, and a few of them with suitable sizes have all been selected and injected with signal trackers. This fishing mission has been successfully completed.

The shipowner and several boatmen also received a lot of benefits in addition to the rental fee, and they left with great gratitude. (End of chapter)
