Recently, another place in Australia has been captured by Chinese. This time, it is not the milk powder area of Woolworth, nor the special area of health products of Chadstone, but the major beaches!
Look at this lively scene at the seaside, most of which are familiar with Chinese faces! A Chinese aunt even sent out a helicopter.
Some netizens yell: it's too ugly to eat!
One, hit the scene! Chinese Aunt Crazy fishing abalone
In Australia, everything seems to be bigger, and abalone is no exception! Australia's abalone is big and fresh, often shipped to China, you can sell it to the sky!
All along, the Chinese people have a persistent love for abalone. Not only because the abalone is beautiful, but also because the expensive abalone is authority, the symbol of wealth and status, is the "luxury" of the food world!
So when the season of abalone fishing in Australia comes, many Chinese people are boiling up! This year is no exception, the Australian media exclaimed: the Chinese have occupied the abalone beach!
Let's first feel the warm atmosphere of fishing abalone this year:
People, men and women, old and young, went to the sea to catch abalone.
In the crowd, the most still is the Chinese face.
The shallow water area can't catch the big one, wear the diving suit to go to the deep water area!
In a diving suit? The whole family? These fishing methods are weak! Last year, a Chinese woman made headlines in Australian media because she pulled out her helicopter.
Aunt was armed, dressed in full diving obey the helicopter jump down, chose the best position to catch abalone, all of the people were stunned.
Sure enough, whether it's milk powder or abalone, the ladies are superior!
2. Australian netizens yell: it's ugly to eat.
But like robbing milk powder, Chinese fishing for abalone has once again triggered "disgust" among Australians!
"it's disgusting to look at this group of 'rape' reefs! It is because of them that our fishing season is getting shorter and shorter, and they don't even think about the size of abalone and the fishing restrictions! "
"it's like milk powder when it's on the shelf!"
"it is best for fisheries managers to check fishing restrictions. Every year these people use the same excuse: I can't speak English! "
"like milk powder, they want too much and don't leave it to us at all."
"they're selling abalone on Facebook!"
"they will eat anything they can climb and move, and they come here because they have eaten up their own country!"
In this news Facebook commentary, almost all of the negative comments, some comments are even full of racial discrimination and prejudice, targeted at the Chinese!
3, as long as the law is not illegal, fishing abalone straight and strong!
However, this time, the Australians really wronged Chinese aunts, abalone, and milk powder is not a concept!
This is because milk powder is very short, but Australian abalone has been overrun! In Western Australia, in particular, abalone flooding has affected the survival of other creatures in the sea, which makes government very worried.
Although abalone is delicious, but Australians are not very fond of eating, and abalone handling is actually very troublesome, many people in restaurants love to eat, but do not like to buy their own home to do.
In this way, abalone in Australia is actually not very popular with the local people. So government held Abalone Festival every year to encourage everyone to catch in the annual fishing season.
So this time, the Chinese aunt really played the positive energy!
As an Australian netizen asks: you don't eat, you don't let others eat? Since it's fishing season, you can catch it legally, can't you?
Does it matter if it's Chinese or Australian?
4. Black sheep: get more than 400 sentenced!
It is regrettable, however, that there are indeed some "black sheep" among the Chinese, which makes it impossible for us to say bluntly, "We are all legally fished!" -.
There are always cases of Chinese overfishing being fined or even sentenced each year during the fishing season. Many Chinese, if not for unclear rules, if not for greed, inadvertently offended the law!
For example, there have been cases of illegal overfishing in the fishing season among Chinese. According to the local law, the limited number of fish is 10, but what about the aunt? Caught 422 big abalone at once!
The three freezers in the house are full!
Aunt insisted that she was only fond of abalone, greedy to catch so many. However, the survey later found that aunt is doing WeChat business on social app, selling these abalone at a high price.
In the end, aunt was not only fined thousands, but also four months of community imprisonment and 100 hours of community labor!
5, take care to catch abalone!
We all have to learn from things like the above. Although Australia's government encourages people to catch abalone, it also strictly limits the time, number and size of the fishing to ensure that the abalone remains in a stable number!
Take Victoria as an example, the government imposed a limit of 5 abalone and 2 abalone at most;
At the same time, each person can not carry more than 10 shelled abalone, of which no more than 4 abalone.
At the same time, the size of abalone can not exceed 13 centimeters!
The most important thing is to go to the official website to apply for a permit before fishing. Generally every year will issue about 17500 permits, first-come, first-served, not who can find a bag to fish abalone!
Finally, I hope that Chinese friends will be happy to "catch" and abide by law! After all, there are too many fines or court every year for fishing for Australian seafood!
If everyone overfished in spite of law regulations, then the whole ecology could be exposed to threat!
Come to Australia, enjoy the fresh air, excellent environment and rich resources, should assume their own responsibility. And compliance with Australia's law and regulations is the most basic responsibility!
Only if everyone is for this society can society be for all.
