The clear seawater has excellent transparency.
Under the bright sunlight, one can clearly see that there is an independent deep blue pool below the sea, with a distinct boundary from regular seawater — the salt layer.
Numerous halophile bacteria, which thrive in high salinity, form the foundation of the food chain here, around which countless mollusks and fish, from low to high, create a magical ecosystem near this salt pool.
Together, they support the apex predators lurking nearby.
However, today's hunt has already ended, and the remaining marine creatures temporarily escaped. A slender, giant black shadow carrying a seagrass-woven fish basket on its body connected with the boy waiting in the mid-water area and slowly surfaced.
This was a giant fish over thirty meters in length, smooth and scaleless, with seven gill slits on each side of its body.
