The sea in Qingdao is directly adjacent to the city, which brings great convenience to "catching the sea", and there is no need for boats and cars to work hard, and you can go around.
But the crowded urban seaside seems to be only suitable for sightseeing, and biodiversity does not seem to be too prosperous, in fact, it is because it has not gone deep into the "grassroots". Look at this "black stripe in the waves" -
There are often sporadic stalls on the coastal roadside, selling all kinds of fresh and hot small seafood, which are caught on the spot in the form of the above. I've never bought it, but often stop and observe. Folk naturalists don't miss a single opportunity. Here's part of the harvest:
This large shellfish with a slightly oblique triangle is named "Jiang Yao", also known as "Jiang Yao", also known as "Belt". Scientific name Atrina chinensis, mussels in the family Jiangruidae. The dried products of its closed shell muscle are an important source of "YaoZhu", one of the eight treasures of the sea, and it is also good for fresh food. The so-called "Jiang Yao is a pillar, and the quality of the beams is strong", and the rest are "fishy and tough".
Ignore the dying shrimp and moths huddled in the corner and an unknown creature to take a closer look at the two protagonists---- which happen to represent the two gates of the order Trout. Located on the obverse is the striped striped ray, scientific name Zebra (zebra, zebra ~ like the song title of a song), the genus Striped fish in the family Troutidae. Next to it is an oppressed Cynoglossus sp., a genus of tongue rays in the family Lycaenidae.
Species of the family Troutidae and the family Lycaenidae are considered "flounders" with inconspicuous tails. The eyes of flounders are either left or right, and the most observable difference between the two families is also in the eyes: the "right ray left tongue fish", the eyes of the fish are located on the right side of the body, and the tongue fish is on the left side.
The round and jade flat jade snail leisurely stretches out its fat abdomen and feet in the sun, looking like a child without deception. In fact, it is a fierce predator, often diving into the seabed to hunt other shellfish. Its scientific name is Glossaulax didyma, heteropodae. Qingdao people call it "fragrant snail", in fact, it is not very fragrant, I think.
Petrel, scientific name Asterina pectinifera, is a member of the family Asterinae in the family Echinaceae. Does the name "Haiyan" remind you of Song Xiaobao or Gorky? I remembered both: Ah, on the sea of Chantu... There's a petrel, you can grow a snack...
Spiny sea disc car, scientific name Asterias amurensis, starfish pincers spiny sea disc car family. This can be directly steamed to eat, there is no too special taste, simply put, it is a seafood flavor, a kind of foot rush that can only be understood ineffable.
Red snail, scientific name Rapana venosa, neogastropod osteospitarian family. This species is the leader of Qingdao conch, which can be incandescent, oily or sashimi, fresh and crispy, suitable for all ages, and more than abalone. If you are not too troublesome, you can also chop the snail meat to make dumplings, which is also a must.
Horse dung sea urchin, scientific name Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, sea urchin bulbophyllaceae of the family Ponaceous sea urchin, the only species in this genus. Its name is not good, its appearance is not proud, but people are beautiful, and common ways to eat are steamed eggs and raw sea urchins. The edible part is "sea urchin yellow", which is to put it bluntly, the reproductive glands.
In addition to visiting other people's "catching the sea" results, sometimes I also "catch" myself. I won't go into the water, but it's okay to wait and see in the intertidal zone.
Short-legged snail, scientific name Littorina brevicula, is a member of the family Cyprinidae in the order Mid-gastropods. On the reef by the sea, in the shells of abandoned oysters, it is possible to crawl densely with these small things, which is really a nightmare for the patients of secret terror. However, more ruthlessness is yet to come.
The yellow-capped flounder (or its genus) is lined up neatly by anglers, commonly known as "sand plate", and the scientific name is Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae, a genus of yellow-capped flounders in the flounder family. Like the flounder and the tongue carp of the suborder, the flounder and the flounder of the flounder are also two gates of flounder, and the difference is still in the position of the eyes: "right flounder", the eye on the right side of the body is the flounder, and on the left side is the turbot. The "partial mouth" and "drum eyes" in Qingdao's population are flounder, and the "tooth slices" and "multi-treasure fish" are turbot.
Stinged goby, a small fish commonly found in intertidal stagnant waters, scientific name Tridentiger trigonocephalus, is a genus of goby in the family Gobyidae. Unfortunately, this one in the picture above was "wildly collected" by me. In my experience, after a few days of breeding, the stripes on the body fade and reappear when excited. Don't underestimate the gobies, which are a lifelong favorite of Emperor Akihito of Japan.
If you look closely, you will find that there are pale yellow "sunflowers" blooming in the seawater, and the touch quickly converges, which is a longitudinal isuose. The scientific name is Halipplanella luciae, the genus Longitudinal isus luciae, of the genus Longitudinal ishione in the family Haliplanella, which is the only one in this genus. To tell the truth, when its "tentacles" retract, they curl up into a hemispherical shape, that color, that texture, look indescribably evil and weird.
It's time to bring it out---- sea cockroach, a shore crustacean with the scientific name Ligia exotica, and other footed ratworts suborder sea cockroaches. The cargo was alert, and I used light efforts on the reef to take pictures up close. Personally, I think its appearance is not too bad, like a large rat woman emitting the golden light of the local tycoon, which is still cute than the real cockroach.
However, it is characterized by a great love of living in groups... Uh, who said that a big number is beautiful? Imagine thousands of sea cockroaches surging rapidly on the reef like a tidal wave, isn't it a denser and more terrifying nightmare than a short conch? Scenes like this and the red-billed Quelia finch in large flocks of finches are a sight to behold.
