After singing at your house, come to my house. Military drills are taking place in every corner of the ocean. Cannonballs don’t have eyes. How can the marine animals that are affected by the disaster hide? What to do with the fish that were injured or killed by the explosion? Pick it up and eat it, or just ignore it? In this article, let’s talk about this cold knowledge.

Speaking of these marine animals that have been injured by warships from various countries during military exercises, some friends say that they can be picked up and eaten, while others say that they can be taken back to the shore and sold to fishermen. In short, either adding food or making some extra money is a good way to deal with them. However, the reality is very skinny. The fish that are killed during military exercises will most likely be ignored. Don't be anxious, everyone. The reason for doing this must be reasonable. Let me analyze it slowly.

The dispute between maritime military exercises and marine ecological protection is not a matter of one or two years, let alone one country or two countries. The United States, the world's leading naval power, conducts countless exercises in different sea areas around the world every year. The frequency is high and the scope is unmatched by any country. Therefore, the country with the most fish bombings in military exercises is none other than the United States. This has aroused dissatisfaction from environmental organizations and animal protection agencies at all levels across the United States. Government agencies even took the lead in taking the US military to court.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service have repeatedly appealed to the federal court, accusing the U.S. Navy of killing at least 5,000 fish during each maritime military exercise, including some endangered protected species, and this is still the smallest of the 60 military exercises. For example, the larger ones, such as last year, the Ford conducted a ship-wide impact test and detonated a sufficient amount of explosives directly underwater, causing fish within 2 kilometers to be affected. At the same time, fish within 10 kilometers will lose their hearing. For aquatic animals, this is not a problem of becoming "deaf", it is basically equivalent to a dead end, so the marine ecological environment is seriously threatened.

Coincidentally, Irish fishermen once complained in "thousands of dollars' blood" that the joint military exercises between their country's navy and the French navy in the exclusive economic zone resulted in the loss of a large number of fish. The fishermen pointed out that it was the best fishing season for local albacore tuna. Throwing cannonballs into the sea like dumplings was equivalent to knocking a big hole in the fishermen's rice bowls.

Of course, after all, they are their own family, so the Irish fishermen still left some thin noodles, and they were obviously even less polite to other navies who came to their doorsteps. Once, the Russian Navy conducted a military training . The training area involved an exclusive economic zone in southwest Ireland. The fishermen saw that this was not the way to play. They directly pressured the government and called the Russian Ambassador to Ireland. In the name of the Southern and Western Ireland Fish Producers Association, they solemnly warned: If the Russian Navy insists on having its own way, the organization will send up to 60 fishing boats to fight head-on! It is said that they actually gathered together later, so let’s decide whether to be ruthless or not!

In order to solve this problem, the United States, like the United States, directly created a "Marine Mammal Protection Act", which imposes restrictions on paper. For example, the law requires that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration can give the Navy an authorization to prove that fish killed or injured during military training and exercises are "accidentally obtained" and the original intention is not to fish for fish. This may seem high-sounding, but the actual implementation effect is extremely poor. Not to mention any restrictions on the navy, it is basically equivalent to authorizing the navy to give a "blank check", and you can fill it out however you like.

Westerners have always flaunted their "rule of law" and "democracy", not to mention that sometimes a family is actually divided into several factions.In 2015, the U.S. Federal Court declared the U.S. Navy guilty, believing that they had colluded with the Bureau of Fisheries and engaged in shady activities. It also provided direct data as evidence. For example, it believed that the U.S. Navy had injured at least thousands of people during military training. mammals, and it is estimated that in the next five years, mammals will be harmed by military sonar systems and various types of missiles at least 12.5 million times. Of course, we are not experts and professors, so we don’t know how this number was calculated. Just have fun watching it.

The United States is a powerful country with sea power, and our country also has a long coastline. Especially with the rapid development of the Chinese Navy in recent years, coastal military exercises and training are definitely indispensable. So what should our country do in general? In fact, whenever there are military operations at sea, it is inevitable that innocent marine animals will be injured, but we will still reduce the damage to the minimum. For example, we often set the target area in a farther offshore area to avoid the exclusive economic zone and the only way for fish migration. In short, the basic principle is to let the shells fly farther.

Some foreign experts said that sonar equipment can be used to drive away marine life in the military exercise area. However, they were quickly criticized by their peers because there is great controversy over whether this is feasible. The sonar system has a negative impact on a large number of marine mammals and can even increase the mortality of animals. In actual operations, fish are sensitive to various noises emitted by ships and will automatically avoid them, so it is impossible to accurately judge at all.

In addition, the various weapons launched by the ship are not used to hit themselves, but need to hit a preset target area, so the distance between the target area and the ship is generally a hundred kilometers away. In this case, if you use the sonar system to try to drive away the marine life under your feet, wouldn't it be equivalent to "covering your ears and stealing the bell"? So I personally think this proposal is somewhat unreliable.

So when you see this, everyone will ask, is there no solution to this matter? Isn’t there a slightly more reliable approach? Of course! That is to use retired old warships as targets for drills, or you can find some islands and reefs in the distant sea as target areas. This can not only complete the military "live ammunition mission", but also minimize the damage to marine animals. By the way, the premise is that the reconnaissance must be done well, and the artillery There must be no people on the islands and reefs where the missiles are aimed. In 2018, 054 used an uninhabited island in the sea as a target for training, and it turned out that there was a fishing friend on it. Later, this guy looked confused when facing the camera, which looked quite funny. Fortunately, there was no danger, which is the best result.

Of course, the method I am talking about is only relative. It is still what I said just now. No matter how careful and careful you are, you cannot completely avoid marine animals during military exercises. Moreover, with the changes in the world situation, some military exercises are coming very urgently. Naturally, you can’t take care of so much at this time. After all, the strategic purpose of the exercise is the first priority. It is impossible to change the target area or just stop doing it just because you still have fish and shrimps.

The enemy is guilty of heinous crimes, but the small fish and shrimp are really innocent. This involves the issue of how to deal with the fish that were killed during the military exercise.

I remember I had read a report before, saying that our army would fish out the fish killed by the explosion very early. Although large-scale lethal weapons were used in military exercises, due to the explosion in the water, most of the fish would not be "shattered to pieces". Instead, they would be stunned and shocked to death after being hit, and their bodies would float on the sea. Therefore, they can be taken away directly after the exercise.

I guess I am not the only one who has read this news, so some netizens said that they should either provide extra food for their own soldiers or sell it to nearby fishermen to make some extra money. So is this "perfect" solution true? Or is it feasible? I think there is not much basis for it, and since this report did not come from the official media, there is a high probability that it will be taken for granted as "fake news."

In maritime military exercises, the long-range weapons launched have to hit the target area hundreds of kilometers away. So if you want to collect the killed fish, it is not a matter of words. When you run over after the mission, you still don’t know what happened. What's more, ordinary military ships are not equipped with modern large-scale fishing equipment and cannot complete the large-scale fishing work of civilian fishing boats.

In addition, marine life is diverse and abundant. The fish killed by one shot may not necessarily be our common edible fish. The navy of a big country often has sufficient logistical supplies. In this case, it is impossible to eat unknown seafood rashly. No army will joke with the life of its own brothers. Therefore, no matter what the best way to dispose of these small fish and shrimps that were killed in human military exercises, they will actually be visited by other seabirds and other marine predators, or be eaten, or sink to the bottom of the sea. No matter how bad they are, they will be completely decomposed by microorganisms in the sea over time, and then enter nature's "recycling" again. There is no need to worry at all. Okay, that’s it for today. Have you ever considered this issue before? Do you think there are other good solutions?
