The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 273 - 177 The Harm of Invasive Alien Species

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the door of the container slowly opened.

Soon, everyone could see what was inside.

There wasn’t much inside the container, just some timber, a few cages and breeding boxes, and several custom-made fish tanks.

It wasn’t anything like poisonous gas or things carrying bacteria.

Seeing these, everyone initially felt there was nothing much and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, these things seemed ordinary, nothing special.

But Captain Zhou’s brow was furrowed, showing no sign of relaxation.

Because he noticed something unusual about these items.

Captain Zhou immediately walked over; he wanted to go see if it was as he suspected.

Fang Hao and others also followed.

Fang Hao also noticed that something was off.

Because he saw some animal carcasses in those cages…and also some more of these animal remains in some corners of the container.

If one didn’t pay close attention, they really wouldn’t notice them immediately.

Fang Hao also relied on his Mechanical Eye and his superior vision to notice these details so quickly.

After seeing these items, Fang Hao thought of something.

Species invasion!

Because he had never seen these animal carcasses in the country before, it meant they were likely brought in from abroad.

When one species moves from one place to another, the new location might not have natural predators.

In a place without natural predators, that species might proliferate massively and then disrupt the local food chain.

This is the harm caused by species invasion.

In severe cases, it can affect life at the time and even cause a calamitous disaster.

Not every species invasion, like crayfish which still has culinary value, can be considered a failed invasion.

But often species invasion can have terrifying impacts.

Like cleaner fish, like Alligator Gar…

These creatures can’t be eaten easily, and being carnivorous, they can wreak havoc on fishes in rivers by consuming them en masse.

Eventually, there would be hardly any fish left in the rivers.

So many dead bodies in this container; these organisms died from soaking in the sea, none survived.

That is somewhat fortunate; at least these things didn’t enter our country, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

Look at these bodies; there are several types of termites and red ants here, probably placed by the other party on this timber.

They intended to smuggle them in using this timber.

Such malicious intent!

Clearly, they were trying to harm us.

From the bodies here, this container seems to contain several dozen foreign species.

Although not every species necessarily poses a threat, if even one or two do, it would be terrifying and have extremely adverse effects.

After inspecting the situation inside the container, Captain Zhou’s face turned ashen.

Fang Hao’s expression also looked grim.

The expressions of others also grew much somber.

“What’s going on?”

The viewers in the live chat weren’t quite sure of the situation.

“These people are despicable, actually trying to bring these things into our country.”

That’s absolutely malevolent!

Utterly sinister.

Foreign species invasion is also something we have always been guarding against.

“Investigate, it must be thoroughly investigated.”

If it were just this one container it would be manageable, but if the other containers are also packed, then it would be a real trouble.

Because apart from this container falling into the sea, the creatures inside were all drowned.

Including some freshwater creatures, also perishing in the sea.

No longer able to pose a threat.

But other containers that did not fall into the sea could be safely transported back to the country.

That is the biggest threat.

From the traces on the container, it has not been long since it fell into the sea, and there is still hope of tracing it.

Fortunately, there’s information on the container, locating the batch of the ship is not difficult.

Captain Zhou immediately reported the situation here, calling for other departments on shore to conduct a joint investigation.

Only then did the audience in the live stream understand what was going on.

“Damn…”

“These people are too cunning, even resorting to this biological invasion.”

“This is clearly intended to damage our domestic ecological environment, to wreak havoc on us.”

“Damn, this is definitely the work of those worth five hundred thousand.”

The viewers in the live stream room also started berating angrily.

They too deeply loathed those people!

“Check, we must thoroughly investigate!”

“Anyone daring to do this, surely has five hundred thousand backing them.”

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation.

The atmosphere in the live stream room also instantly heightened.

Everyone was cursing those people.

At the same time, on Weibo, a trending topic about invasive species surged into the top ten.

The Coast Guard carefully checked the inside of the container, ensuring no organisms were missed, and no other living creatures remained, before finally closing the container door.

This container would be treated for centralized destruction when it reached shore.

Even if there were only some bodies, they had to be dealt with, and could not simply be thrown back into the sea.

“This is why our work is so difficult, too many pests.”

As a Coast Guard, Captain Zhou had seen too many secret and illicit activities.

“Exactly.”

Xiao Pang and others also nodded in agreement.

“Mr. Fang, we really have to thank you this time. If you hadn’t caught this container, we might have missed it.”

“Let’s hope… the contents of the other containers haven’t left the dock yet, and can still be found.”

Captain Zhou was still somewhat worried inside.

He was afraid that the goods might have already been shipped out, which would be a significant trouble.

“Captain, I just received a message from the customs, saying that the ship we were looking into arrived at West Sea City port three days ago, the goods have just been declared and not yet inspected, hence they haven’t been moved, and are now being examined rigorously.”

A Coast Guard came forward to report the news.

This news was really good, as it meant the goods were still lying in the yard and hadn’t been moved.

Even more unexpected was that the ship transporting this container had arrived only three days ago.

This meant that the container fell into the sea only about five days to a week ago at most.

“Good.”

They could finally feel relieved.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

They didn’t have to worry too much about the following matters.

Since they had identified the batch of goods, they weren’t likely to be overlooked.

A sense of relief crossed everyone’s mind.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Really close call…”

The goods were intercepted, and everyone could stop worrying.

“It’s all good now.”

Fang Hao’s face showed a smile, lightening everyone’s mood, so it wasn’t too dull.

“This time, we really owe it to the streamer.”

“Sometimes this streamer’s luck, I really don’t know what to say, but sometimes… really amazing!”

“As for the streamer, I can only admire him.”

The crowd in the live stream room also greatly admired Fang Hao.

Although they loved bickering with each other usually, when it came to critical matters, they knew how to distinguish clearly.

When to tease, and when it’s a serious matter.

This distinction was very clear.

Like this time with the caught container, containing so many corpses of invasive species, it was very obvious what was going on.
