My Deep-sea Fishery

Facing a treasure, Xiang Yang would be lying if he said he was not at all tempted.

But it is impossible for Xiang Yang to take people down to search for the sunken ship like this.

Just kidding, this place is in territorial waters.

Xiang Yang kept the three copper plates picked up by the tiger-headed sea eagle, and no one would say anything wrong with him, but if he went to find and salvage them on a boat in an open and honest manner, he was guaranteed to be invited to drink tea the next day. .

As long as this kind of thing is done, it is absolutely impossible to hide it.

"Brother Yang, the copper plate has been cleaned."

"Oh, it's finished."

Fang Youqun's words pulled Xiang Yang out of his thoughts. He calmly took the box containing the copper plates from Fang Youqun's hand and silently remembered the location of this sea area, "Okay, thanks."

Fang Youqun didn't notice what was wrong with Xiang Yang, so he asked carelessly, "Brother Yang, do we want to go down to the bottom of the sea to have a look after we finish dragging the net?"

Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Why, you kid is addicted to diving?"

Fang Youqun smiled embarrassedly, "I just feel that staying on the boat is boring, so I want to go down and have a look."

In fact, being bored on the boat is just an excuse. Fang Youqun and his crew are really addicted to diving, because they can get a relatively rich reward every time they dive, while staying on the deck has nothing, but work. But it is not easier than diving at all. Zhou Wang will set up the net every hour or so. At that time, they will do the work of cleaning up the fish. Although the work has no technical content, it is really tiring .

Xiang Yang thought about it. Diving fishing has always been his main way of getting money. When the crew offered to dive and fish, it is impossible for him to reject the crew and discourage the enthusiasm of the crew, but in the current sea area. It was too barren. Xiang Yang looked at the bottom of the sea through the mysterious jade shell. Although he saw a lot of fish swimming in the water layer, the bottom of this sea area was a large piece of exposed sea sand. There are not many, even the aquatic plants are not very luxuriant, and there are no coral reefs on the bottom of the sea. It is conceivable how the bottom fishery resources in such sea areas are.

"Draw a few more Internet cafes." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "We have cast so many nets in a row this time, but there is nothing too valuable to catch. We must catch a decent catch."

"Oh." Fang Youqun nodded, "I hope this net will be a bumper harvest."

Xiang Yang took out his mobile phone to check the time, and felt that the network had been dragged on for so long, so he said, "We'll know if we have a good harvest or not by closing the network?"

"Master Zhou, lift the net." Xiang Yang walked to the winch and said to Zhou Wang.

"OK." Zhou Wang coughed and skillfully manipulated the winch with one hand to lift the net.

Neither Xiang Yang nor Zhou Wang had seen this winch set up a net for the first time, and they knew roughly how much fish the net had caught as soon as they heard the sound of the winch turning.

Zhou Wang's face was full of disappointment, and he said: "Captain, it seems that there are not many seafood caught in this net."

"You'll know if you catch any fish or not until you pull up the net." Xiang Yang doesn't care, he doesn't really care about the number of sea fish when he fishes, he cares more about what kind of sea fish are caught in the fishing net , If it is a fish like saury, it is worth less than a bluefin tuna.

The winch rotates, and the steel rod pulls the fishing net up from the bottom of the sea at a very uniform speed.

"Huh? This is it?" Chen Qingsheng, who was standing at the stern of the boat looking forward to it, was the first to show surprise on his face.

There was also a trace of astonishment on Xiang Yang's face, without it, Xiang Yang's net caught only one fish, but the fish was very big, six or seven meters long, just like a small monster.

"This fish looks so strange." Fang Youqun wondered, "Its back looks like a shark, but why does his mouth look like this?"

"That's right, it's a shark." Xiang Yang first confirmed Fang Youqun's guess, and then said: "This fish is a very ferocious type of shark, and its name is also called sawfish. It is a very ferocious fish, but it is different from other sharks. The biggest difference between it and sharks is that it has a long and sharp snout protruding in front of its head, and there are sharp spikes like sawtooth on both sides of the snout. It is also an overlord existence on the bottom of the sea, and the tiger sharks dare not easily provoke them when they go on a rampage."

Fang Youqun looked at the sawfish, especially the sharp spikes on its mouth, and immediately felt chills all over his body. With this guy's honor, he went on a rampage, not to mention the tiger shark, he was also scared when he saw it. .

"Captain, it's not good, our fishing net was torn by it." At this time, Zhou Wang suddenly had an ugly face.

"Huh?" The price of buying a new fishing net is not cheap, Xiang Yang quickly looked at the fishing net.

Just one glance at Xiang Yang's face turned extremely ugly.

Sure enough, the fishing net was torn into strips at the head of the sawfish, with several holes the size of the mouth of a football.

"So that's it." Xiang Yang sighed, "It seems that the sawfish was not the only fish caught in this net, but other sea fishes were relatively small and escaped from the bad holes in the fishing net. On the contrary, the sawfish that tore several large holes in the fishing net could not escape from the hole because of its size."

"If you dare to tear up our fishing net, we will pay off the debt with its meat." Fang Youqun said fiercely.

Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun, but said nothing.

The economic value of sawfish is much higher than that of ordinary sharks. Not only is its meat delicious, but its fins can also be used to make shark fins. The skin of sawfish is also a special commodity for tanning and scabbards, and its liver can be made into top-notch cod liver oil. .

It is precisely because of its extremely high economic role that it has become the target of many fishermen. In the early years, it was killed by fishermen for huge profits, so in recent years, sawfish has basically disappeared in many places. This is a kind of protected fish with extremely high protection level in all countries in the world.

"Why, why don't you talk?" Fang Youqun looked at everyone and said.

Xiang Yang sighed, and he said: "I saw a piece of news about this fish called a sawfish some time ago. In the report of the "New York Post" in the United States on January 27, 2020, A 38-year-old Florida commercial fisherman was sentenced to two years and a $2,000 fine for sawing off the beak of a sawfish and throwing it back into the sea on January 23, 2020 local time. Fine and 80 hours of community service."
