Welcome back to the deep dive.
Today, we're focusing our lens on a patch of water that,
well, on the surface, looks pretty harmless.
Yeah, completely innocuous.
I mean, if you were sailing through the Yellow Sea today, maybe, what,
120 nautical miles east of Rizow, China,
you'd stumble across something that just looks like a triumph of modern engineering.
Really, is it shiny?
It's massive.
On a sunny day, you'd probably think it's some kind of monument to human ingenuity.
We're talking about the Shenlan one and of course the newer and even bigger Shenlan two.
And in the world of aquaculture these are I mean these are basically the pyramids they're that significant.
Visually these things are absolute beasts.
I really want you to picture this.
Imagine a giant yellow octagonal steel cage.
But even the word cage feels, I don't know, too small.
It's a leviathan.
It is.
These things extend dozens of meters down into the ocean and they're designed to breed hundreds of thousands of salmon at a time.
It's all high-tech.
