Chapter 1174 - Above the Icy Ocean (2/2)

The pale broater flow appeared very abruptly, and Li Du thought that it was some special water channel At thatthat, it dawned upon Li Du – they had buroups A colony would float to the surface of the water and could cover ​​hundreds ofcolonies was very high There could be thirty to forty thousand krill per cubic ed its color

Li Du asked, “The brown color of the water is caused by the krill? Aren’t krill transparent? Why are they brown?”

“They are transparent to our eyes, but not entirely When there arethe water, hence, it changes color,” Steve explained

Saying that, Steve shook his head regrettably, and said, “Sadly, it’s the light season and the sun doesn’t set If it was dark, you could enjoy a reen, and the krill present a majestic spectacle!”

Now that they had found the krill, they could cast their net

The krillseason in Antarctica, in thesus when they coly, the krill would continue to lay eggs a few s all in one go

Once the eggs leave the mother’s body, they sink a few hundred meters down to the seabed They hatch to beco yolk sac

After the yolk runs out, they float to the surface of the water to gatherin the net from the water surface, they would be able to catch the adult krill However, even adult krill were not too big Due to the cold seawater, the krill grow very slowly, only reaching up to five to six centimeters

Each of the two shi+ps cast a small net into the water and then quickly drew it in

Li Du and Brother Wolf both exerted a huge ay to pull in the net, one at each end

They were using a throw net, which was simple to operate It could trap the small fish on the water surface They were not of much use in common situations but here, those nets were very helpful and especially efficient at catching the krill

As the net was pulled up, a huge bunch of krill appeared

Once the net was placed down on the shi+p, the krill continued to ju for their lives

“Turn around immediately,” Steve ordered “Keep theain e reach the shore”

The krill’s digestive tract was very silands The outer shell and flesh were transparent and hence, its internal organs could be seen, especially the green digestive tract which was very conspicuous

As its digestive glands ell-developed, the krill could secrete large aestive enzymes would remain active and break down the proteins in their bodies

That was the reason why Steve told the the net onto the shi+p He wanted the krill to stay alive for as long as possible

Brother Wolf grabbed a fistful of krill fro on their fresh meat

Li Du also picked up one and ate it Krill lived in an environment that was natural, clean and without pollution They were not contareen seaweed, the copepod, the endodon, and other small zooplankton The meat was pure and healthy

The krill flesh was cold and was cheith a sweet taste to it It did not taste fishy at all

Li Du ate two hi its claws to pull the krill apart
