As soon as Lin Manzhang said this, everyone turned to observe the color of the ocean.

Lu Ao had the sharpest eyes and soon discovered that some of the seawater had indeed turned red, floating in the blue seawater one by one.

Compared with the large-scale red tide outbreaks on the shore, the red tide here is not too obvious. No wonder no one noticed it at first.

Others soon found out too.

Lin Gongshang muttered, "Why is there still red tide in this season? We didn't see it this spring. I thought the ocean management was pretty good this year."

Red tide actually refers to a harmful ecological abnormality caused by the explosive proliferation or high accumulation of phytoplankton algae, protozoa or bacteria.

It contains red tide organisms, and the suitable growth conditions are seawater temperatures below 28 degrees.

The weather is so hot now. It shouldn't have exploded, and I don't know what happened.

Several people looked at it for a while, feeling very heavy.

Lin Manzhang said: "I first called the Provincial Resources and Environmental Protection Department and the Provincial Monitoring Center."

Others have no opinion.

Lin Manzhang called. Both agencies took it very seriously. After asking about the specific location of the red tide outbreak, they agreed to send someone over immediately to check.

"Okay, the report has been submitted. Let the professional people do the professional work."

Lin Qiyan asked: "Brother Zhang, what kind of algae is this red tide?"

Lin Manzhang's expression was solemn, "I can't tell clearly, it looks like noctiluca."

The color of Noctiluca is the reddest. It looks red during the day and always emits faint fluorescence at night.

It is the most common red tide organism, causing five out of ten red tides in the Qianming Sea.

In addition to Noctiluca, there are common red tide organisms such as Skeletonema costatum, Chaetoceros algae, Prodinium denticola, and Gymnodinium.

Some of these red tide organisms are poisonous and some are not.

Noctiluca is one of the poisonous species that can produce paralytic shellfish poisoning.

Once red tide occurs, it will pose a major threat to aquaculture, especially abalone farming.

Most of the shellfish are feeders. If a red tide occurs, they may not die, but if they eat toxic algae, they will be poisoned and cannot be eaten at all.

Lin Manzhang's boat was still moving forward. When passing through the red tide waters, they saw many fish floating on the sea with their bellies turned over.

These are fish that have been poisoned by red tides or suffocated by lack of oxygen.

Everyone looked at the rotten fish with white flowers and felt very heavy.

Lu Ao felt depressed, as if he was overwhelmed by something.

He once again realized that human protection of the ocean was not that effective, and sometimes even quite powerless.

The boat sailed for a while, and after passing the red tide area, Lin Gongshang asked: "The red tide is so serious, can we still pump the puddle today? Isn't it poisonous to the fish we pumped?"

As soon as these words came out, several people on the boat were in a very bad mood.

Lin Manzhang was silent for a while, "That's right, let's go back home."

Red tide toxins mainly remain in shellfish, but some remain in fish and shrimp as well.

Currently, there is no specific medicine for red tide toxin poisoning. If patients are accidentally poisoned, they will experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, paralysis of limb muscles, and intestinal damage.

No one with any conscience can sell fish and shrimp contaminated by red tide organisms.

Today, let alone pumping out puddles, they can't even catch fish.

Lin Manzhang returned to the sea area where he had put the fishing nets, and collected the fishing nets one by one. If any fish or shrimp were caught in the net, they would all be thrown back into the sea.

Lu Ao went over to help. It felt like this man's back was bent by life, and there was infinite distress hidden in his dark skin.

The group of people headed home dejectedly. The red tide appeared, which not only meant that they could not fish that day, but also that they would not be able to fish for a while.

Even if they catch fish, they cannot sell it. Under perfect market supervision, their fish are not allowed to appear in the market at all.

"Come on, let's take a good rest for a few days and see how the authorities prevent and control it."

Lu Ao didn't know much about this, "Doesn't it mean that red tide is so harmful that humans can't do anything about it?"

"The harm is great, but it's not impossible. It just depends on whether you are willing to spend money." Lin Gongshang gave him a list of things, "Like improving the water environment and putting high concentrations of Bacillus and photosynthetic bacteria into it.

All have very good improvement effects. Also, after the improvement is completed, chlorella can be added to make algae with algae, so that chlorella can take advantage of the water body."

Lin Manzhang also nodded, "There are always ways, it just depends on whether the higher authorities are willing to spend money. If they are willing to spend money, the red tide will recede quickly. If they are not willing to spend money, it will last longer, but it will only last a few days."

It will recede in the next few days. Wait for the notice first. Generally speaking, the red tide will recede in about a week. Then continue fishing and don't eat shellfish."

Next, they received an official notice that a red tide had broken out in this area, warning people not to eat fish and shrimp produced in this area, especially shellfish.

As soon as the announcement came out, I don’t know how many fishermen scolded me online, but everyone had no choice but to listen to the official advice and temporarily close their business and stop fishing.

When they are not fishing, fishermen have to go to the fields to tend crops and have no time to relax.

That afternoon, Lin Gongshang drove his motorcycle to the field to look for Lu Ao.

When he saw Lu Ao, before he could say anything, he said enviously: "You are good at cooking vegetables. There are fruits everywhere. How did you do it? I think you don't take care of it at all."

"Water frequently, fertilize frequently, pull weeds frequently, and that will probably do it." Lu Ao straightened up and looked up at him, "What do you want from me?"

"Hey, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

Lu Ao looked at him and he smiled, "But I really have something to do with you. Isn't it hard to fish during this time? I want to invite you to my house for barbecue."

"Okay, what kind of barbecue do you want?"

"Seafood barbecue is not very suitable at this time. Let me treat you to barbecue. Roast chicken, roast duck, roast beef bones...anything is fine. I went to the market this morning and bought a large pot of beef bones. They have already been sawed.

Let’s eat roasted beef marrow tonight.”

Roasted beef bone marrow or something, sounds very tempting.

Lu Ao didn't hesitate for half a second, "Okay, I'll go as soon as I finish the work in the fields." After thinking about it, he said again: "Can I bring someone with me?"

"Who should I take with me? Songzhou? You can take me with you. We are already familiar with him anyway, so you're welcome."

"Well, I'll come with him that night."

Lin Gongshang got the affirmative answer and rode his motorcycle to someone else's house again.

Lu Ao waited for him to go far away, looked around and saw no one was around. He waved his hand, and a light rain began to fall on several acres of fields.

When it rains, the weather becomes cool immediately.

Lu Ao sat on the edge of the field and was in a daze for a while, then picked up vegetables in a basket and returned to the village.

There are so many fruits and vegetables recently produced in his fields that he can't finish them all himself. Some good fruits and vegetables he can't bear to feed to the geese, so he usually gives them to the elderly in the village.

After Lin Gongshang and others found out about this, they always complained that he grew these vegetables for others and he couldn't even eat half of them himself.

Complaints are complaints. After everyone picked their own vegetables, if they had extra food and couldn't finish it, they didn't want to sell it, but gave it to the elderly in the village.

The old people in the village did not receive the vegetables in vain. For example, at Lu Ao's house, the old people knew that he raised geese, so they often brought their leftovers to feed him the geese. What good things did they usually do at home?

A bowl of food will also be brought to him.

Lu Ao's unintentional move actually improved the atmosphere here.

There have been a lot fewer people quarreling in the village.

Song Zhou has been getting off work late recently, so Lu Ao had dinner at home first and waited for him to come back while eating.

When he came back, Lu Ao had just finished eating and was about to put away the bowl. When he saw him, Lu Ao said: "Lingong Shang invited us to have barbecue at his house tonight, are you going?"

Song Zhou laughed, "Why did he suddenly think of us having barbecue on a whim?"

Song Zhou went to the kitchen to wash his hands. When he passed Lu Ao, Lu Ao smelled his fragrance.

This fragrance is not obvious, but it is very overbearing. It penetrates into the nose slowly and makes people unable to ignore it.

Lu Ao touched his nose subconsciously and said: "He said fishing is too hard and people are tired and thin. Now that I'm not fishing, I have to take a good supplement."

"Then let's go. It's been a long time since I went to have a barbecue with everyone. Do you want to bring anything?"

"No need. We don't have anything to bring here. He said he has everything ready and we don't need to worry about it."

Song Zhou came out after washing his hands and wiped them with a towel, "Should we go now or later?"

"Go over now and see if they have anything to help with." After Lu Ao finished speaking, he didn't want Song Zhou to go over to work and changed his words, "Forget it, let's go later, it's too early now.

, it’s not even dark yet.”

"That's fine." Song Zhou sat on his exclusive recliner, "You guys haven't been fishing in the past few days?"

"If we don't fight, there's red tide, so we can't fight."

The water in the nearby sea is still clear, and nothing unusual can be seen in it, but now that a red tide has broken out, their area of ​​​​the sea is not safe.

Under market supervision, their fish cannot be sold. If they eat it themselves, there is no need to go out to fish, so everyone will just be lazy for a while.

Songzhou nodded.

Lu Ao said: "It's okay if you don't go fishing. It's just a good time to take a rest in the mountains and forests."
