Even if we want to catch starfish to verify our findings, we need to wait for the next dive and try it in the ocean water.
The ones that have already been brought ashore, who knows what other stimuli they might have suffered? There are too many confounding factors, so it's better to focus on those starfish still in the wild. It also avoids drawing the attention of others.
"What's your opinion on this starfish outbreak?" Feng Yi asked.
Professor Li sighed deeply, her concern for both country and citizens all the more evident.
"Once it has erupted, it's very hard to stop. Fishing can only alleviate it to some extent, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem. Moreover, the severity of this incident has exceeded everyone's expectations."
"Isn't there a safer, more efficient way to solve the problem?" Feng Yi was curious.
