My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 30 The Great Harvest



There are three types of fishing nets on Xiang Yang's boats, namely dense nets, fine nets and medium nets.

In fact, dense nets are used to catch puffer fish. Puffer fish that look like tadpoles have a strong drilling ability and can easily pass through holes that are much smaller than their own body. Drill out of the mesh.

But the puffer fish is now an endangered creature. The wild pure freshwater puffer fish is almost extinct now. Some big hotels sell it for three to four thousand yuan a catty. It’s not easy, but it’s worth thousands of dollars. It’s not easy to meet a group of puffer fish in the ocean. Xiang Yang didn’t think about killing them all.

Soon, a fine-mesh net is thrown out to sea from the stern of the stinger, and the boat slows down to trawl.

Zhou Wang, close the net! Ten minutes later, Xiang Yang pointed at the walkie-talkie.

After receiving the order, Zhou Wang immediately commanded two new crew members to control the windlass. With the roar of the windlass machine, the fishing net was slowly dragged onto the deck.

It's gone. Uncle Xiang stretched his neck and looked at the fishing net until he saw the big bag of catches wrapped in the fishing net when it came out of the water, finally showing a happy smile.

Isn't this efficiency too high? Xiang Chen was also speechless. He has been fishing for many years, and he has caught a mountain of catches in one net, which has completely refreshed his world view.

The good days are yet to come, don't be dazed, and hurry up to clean up the catch. Xiang Yangcai gave a loud command when the fishing net was dragged onto the deck before it was unwound.

Yes, hurry up and clean up the catch. This pufferfish needs to be raised in sea water. It's worthless if it dies. Uncle Xiang also said loudly.

The fishing nets were untied, and a large group of puffer fish with oblate bodies, the shortest one was about 10 centimeters long, and the longest one even exceeded 40 centimeters, jumped up and down on the deck. After a while, there were a lot of puffer fish on the deck. The Balloon.

In addition to being highly poisonous, puffer fish also have a special function to defend against enemies. Its stomach can absorb a large amount of water or air, causing its body to instantly expand into a bubble and surface, so that the enemy has no time to hunt and kill it.

The puffer fish that has become a balloon will also erect the thorns on its skin like a hedgehog for self-defense. Even if it is caught by other animals, the puffy and spiky puffer fish can make it difficult for the opponent to swallow.

Xiang Yang hugged a big ball with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters and put it in an aquarium. All puffer fish with a length of more than 30 centimeters were picked out and kept together separately, and they should not be mixed with small puffer fish.

Adult puffer fish generally grow to a size of 10 to 30 centimeters. Puffer fish within this range are priced at about the same price. Puffer fish over 30 centimeters are more cherished, and their value doubles immediately.

Come on, I'll get it. Uncle Xiang walked to the water tank where the big pufferfish with a length of more than 40 centimeters was located, and slowly stroked the pufferfish's head with one hand. The 40cm big balloon gradually narrowed, and soon returned to the appearance of a normal puffer fish.

Of course, this net is not limited to puffer fish. Puffer fish are omnivorous creatures, and they eat more miscellaneous things. Fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, and even some floating algae and plant leaves are also in their diet, and they are in the ocean. The bottom of the food chain has no sense of territory, and can mix with many marine life groups.

Don't throw these worthless sea fish into the water tank. It's a waste of space in the water tank. Throw them into the freezer and freeze them. Xiang Yang hurriedly stopped them when he saw that someone grabbed all kinds of fish and threw them into the water tank.

After being busy for a long time, I finally cleared up the catches. The net caught a total of more than 3,000 catties, including 1,000 catties of puffer fish. Although the remaining 2,000 catties of sea fish were not very valuable sea fish, they were wholesaled on average. It's okay to sell it for ten yuan a catty.

It's a good start! Uncle Xiang found Xiang Yang, and said excitedly: We will definitely make more than one million profits if we go online.

Xiang Yang also silently calculated, he really didn't know, he was taken aback by the calculation, even if the cheap sea fish of more than 2,000 catties were not included in this net, the value of the puffer fish alone was more than one million.

In fact, the value of puffer fish in the past few years was higher. At that time, the artificial breeding conditions for puffer fish were not yet mature, but the freshwater puffer fish in rivers and lakes were almost extinct. With the sky-high price of one thousand yuan per catty, the value of puffer fish in the sea has also risen to three to four thousand yuan per catty.

Over the years, the technology of artificially breeding puffer fish has continued to mature, and the price of wild puffer fish has gradually dropped to more than 1,000 yuan per catty.

Of course, this price drop refers to the puffer fish in the sea area, and the Yangtze River puffer fish is still priced but not marketed.

Would you like to cook some puffer fish to celebrate? Xiang Yang asked.

Don't worry, this stuff can really poison people to death. Uncle Xiang shook his head immediately.

Okay! Xiang Yang could only nod regretfully. In fact, Xiang Yang has never tasted puffer fish at his age, but he has always heard people say how delicious puffer fish is, even if he risked his life to eat puffer fish. After listening to it for a long time, Xiang Yang naturally wanted to try it, but seeing that Uncle Xiang, who has been wandering at sea all year round, doesn't know how to deal with the toxin of puffer fish, Xiang Yang can only give up.

This kind of opportunity will not be common in the future. Do you want to cast another net? Uncle Xiang asked.

Xiang Yang hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head and said: Forget it, the first net is a gift from Haiyang, and the second net is that we will kill Haiyang.

Okay! Uncle Xiang could only shake his head regretfully. According to his experience, there must be a lot of puffer fish in the sea. If he can catch all of them, he will definitely earn more. But Xiang Yang is also right, if everyone sees high-end seafood and kills them all, the entire ocean will become barren in the future.

The fishing boat was still advancing at a constant speed. Xiang Yang saw that the first net was almost cleared, so he shouted directly: Speed ​​up and continue forward. We will haul another net in an hour, then dive to the bottom of the sea to have a look, and then return to the voyage. I'll give everyone a day off when I get back.

Dive into the sea?

Dive into the sea?

The crew members on the ship suddenly had two completely different reactions. The faces of the old sailors including Uncle Xiang changed slightly, while the new sailors recruited from Qinglong Bend were all elated, looking forward to seeing what the bottom of the far sea is like. Fan scenery.

Xiang Yang also noticed that the faces of the two old sailors on the boat had changed, and he couldn't help wondering: Why, is there something wrong with what I said?

The two old sailors looked at each other, hesitated to speak, but finally shook their heads, Captain, we are fine.

Uncle Xiang pulled Xiang Yang's arm, Xiang Yang, let's take a step to talk.
