(Fourth update, please subscribe) “Thankfully, we managed to haul up the shipping container in ti,” Fang Hao mused aloud. “If we’d been just ten days or half a month later, and those containers had been shipped off, finding them would’ve been really tough.”
It was quite fortunate, at least they found the cargo ship and reclaid the goods.
The problem was finally resolved without spreading any risk further.
The outco was good.
Everyone’s heart finally felt a sense of relief.
“The livestrear is freaking aweso,” a viewer comnted in the live stream chat.
That sentint was echoed by everyone. It was only thanks to Fang Hao’s special ability, the capability to haul anything but fish, that they could recover this shipping container.
Otherwise, the container might have remained forever lost at the bottom of the sea, undiscovered.
Even if soone had found it, they wouldn’t have bothered with it.
It was just a shipping container, after all. Until it was opened, nobody could be sure of its contents, and naturally, nobody would go to the trouble of salvaging it.
Unless, of course, it was full of Gold.
But the incident didn’t fade away as quickly as it might have seed.
Unexpectedly, it started a surge of interest online.
At that mont, many people created short videos about invasive species, uploading them to the web.
Videos about catching ‘janitors’, for instance.
There were countless videos on this subject.
One could just take a net to a river, and with a single sweep, haul up a net full of ‘janitors’, finding them in huge numbers with not a single other fish in sight.
This was the threat that ‘janitors’ posed to other fish species in the rivers.
They devoured fish eggs.
aning, whatever fish laid eggs would have them eaten, and eventually, if this continued, what fish could survive? There wouldn’t be any fry left.
That’s the danger of an invasive species!
And these creatures reproduced rapidly and were resilient, thriving in any watery environnt. That was the truly troubling part.
Because it ant they weren’t easy to eradicate, missing just one could lead to a whole new population in no ti.
Now that the issue was gaining attention,
everyone began brainstorming different strategies to tackle the ‘janitor’ fish invasion.
The most widespread solution, naturally, was consumption!
In a country of foodies, everything was fair ga for the palate.
If it wasn’t edible, only then did they consider its dicinal prospects.
Plenty of people started experinting with ways to eat ‘janitor’ fish on video, but the tough shell and the scant at didn’t offer much to feast on.
Moreover, given the filthy conditions ‘janitor’ fish lived in, and their omnivorous diet, most people typically wouldn’t choose to eat them.
It was mainly the self-dia creators, desperate for views, who would fabricate sensational content for clicks and likes.
Even if it tasted awful, they’d rave about how incredibly delicious it was.
And then there were videos of people turning ‘janitor’ fish into shoes or other leather goods…
Treating their skin like crocodile leather.
But it was all for show.
In reality, it was useless.
The economic value of ‘janitor’ fish was too low.
Yet, their impact was trendously harmful.
There were even videos showing the ‘janitor’ fish being dried out, then revived by pouring water over them, showcasing their powerful vitality.
Of course, whether that was actually true was sothing only the video creators knew.
Besides the ‘janitor’ fish, the Alligator Gar was another invasive species causing major problems.
Known for its crocodile-like mouth, this was how the fish got its na.
The Alligator Gar had no natural predators and was incredibly aggressive, being dubbed the ‘aquatic assassin’. A single Alligator Gar could deplete a whole lake of its fish.
It had a high level of aggression and could even bite humans—extrely dangerous.
As its notoriety grew,
it quickly climbed to the top position on social dia platforms.
A swarm of netizens beca aware of its dangerous impact and began to raise alarms.
Everyone started taking preventative asures against these invasive species.
Especially those who liked to release animals into the wild were urged to exercise caution regarding the fish they released.
After all, many invasive species had spread as a result of such practices.
In that case, it wasn’t an act of release; it was just brainless.
Fang Hao probably didn’t anticipate that his recovery of one shipping container would lead to a surge in efforts to prevent invasive species from spreading.
This turn of events even took the authorities by surprise.
It had a surprisingly beneficial effect in terms of publicity.
…
After resolving the shipping container issue,
Fang Hao turned his attention back to fishing.
To him, these matters were rely a small detour.
He’d witnessed plenty of grand spectacles before, far surpassing this minor event.
As long as the invasive species hadn’t spread any further, there were no major problems to worry about.
Upon learning the issue was resolved, Captain Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although such incidents weren’t part of their usual responsibilities, since they had encountered it, he would see it through to the end.
After this incident, Captain Zhou looked at Fang Hao with an increasingly different perspective.
He realized that what he knew about Fang Hao was just the tip of the iceberg.
Every ti you thought you understood soone, they would surprise you anew.
Fang Hao’s recovery of the shipping container showed that he was capable of much more than just fishing up detectors.
His ability really ant he could reel in almost anything.
Everything was fishable (except fish, that is).
This made Captain Zhou all the more curious.
What kind of extraordinary person was he?
During the upcoming fishing sessions, what else might he fish out?
