My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang himself was idle, he put down his phone and didn't bother to record anymore.

To be honest, Xiang Yang actually has no confidence in whether the humpback whale can keep the sawfish.

It is true that the humpback whale is the overlord of the ocean. No one can deny this. After all, the size of the humpback whale is there, and it is no joke to be hit by its small fist.

But humpback whales are not the overlords of the ocean known for their fierceness after all. They are actually extremely docile and cute most of the time, and they play the role of green forest heroes most of the time in the ocean.

Sawfish are different.

Like the humpback whale, the sawfish is also the top overlord in the ocean, and it is a top predator of the ocean known for its ferocity.

Moreover, the speed of the humpback whale is far inferior to that of the stingray, and its sensitivity is also much worse than that of the stingray.

Previous male humpback whales did not succeed in catching the sawfish, but now the sawfish has discovered the danger. Xiang Yang believes that the chances of the humpback whale keeping the sawfish are extremely small when the sawfish is determined to escape.

But humpback whales are not out of chance.

Humpback whales are stronger and more intelligent than sawfish.

Xiang Yang didn't focus on the male humpback whale that was chasing him angrily. He fixed his gaze on a certain sea area. Under that sea area, a female humpback whale that was more majestic than the male humpback whale was Quick sprint.

Unfortunately, although the female humpback whale had already ambushed under that sea area in advance, the direction in which the sawfish fled was not that sea area.

Xiang Yang shook his head helplessly, thinking in his heart that it was a pity, it seemed that the sawfish must have run away.

Sure enough, the next moment Xiang Yang heard the sighs of the crew:

"Alas, the sawfish got away."

"pity."

"Just a little bit."

Xiang Yang smiled indifferently. This result was actually within his expectations. Any ocean overlord, except tiger sharks, who would never stop dying when angered, would be extremely difficult to die. They all have their own unique characteristics. Life-saving means.

"Okay." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "This sea area can attract a sawfish to prey, which means that the fishery resources in this sea area are still relatively rich. At this moment, the sawfish was driven away by the humpback whale. We are very happy." Cast a net in a few minutes."

Zhou Wang also nodded and said: "The captain is right. Without the sawfish making trouble, this sea area is indeed a good place for fishing."

Soon, Zhou Wang organized the crew to replace the winch with a spare fishing net.

About an hour later, a large bag of sea fish was caught on the deck by fishing nets.

"Haha, Captain, now we have earned back the money we lost on the fishing net." Chen Qingsheng stared at the lively fish on the deck and laughed.

"It's more than just earning back the money from the ten fishing nets." Xiang Yang also showed a smile on his face, "Quickly, take out our foam box."

This net caught nearly five thousand catties, most of which were cheap sea fish like squid and cuttlefish, which should add up to two to three thousand catties.

Most of the remaining marine fish are golden thread fish.

The golden thread fish is a kind of spindle-shaped sea fish with a flat body, generally 8-19 cm in length, with a raised back, a slightly flat or concave forehead, and two pairs of beards on it.

The back of the body is gray-black, the abdomen is gray-white, the fin rays are black, and the scales are thin. The scales are only distributed on the side of the body. The back and abdomen have no or few scales. The scales are yellow and shiny, and the lateral line is golden yellow.

They generally like to live in rocky waters with fresh water quality. They have a very developed sense of smell, but their eyesight is extremely poor, so they are more afraid of the sun. They usually go out at night to look for food, and their main food is plant seeds.

Fang Youqun grabbed a golden thread fish more than ten centimeters long and said excitedly: "Brother Yang, this fish looks so beautiful, can it be used as an ornamental fish?"

Xiang Yang raised his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm afraid not. This is a short-tailed golden thread fish. Its body length is about 6 times its body height. The leaves on its tail fin are extended into filaments, and the length is relatively short. This head is reddish-brown, with a yellow stripe from the nostril to the back of the eye and from the tip of the snout to the lower part of the eye, two dull yellow stripes on the side of the body, an obvious broad yellow stripe on the abdomen, and a shallow dorsal fin. The red edge is yellow again, there is a yellow line and a light blue line on the fin membrane, the inner edge of the caudal fin is pink and the caudal fork is dark red, and the short filaments at the end of the upper lobe are yellow. The color of this fish is too mixed, not very suitable for the mainstream ornamental fish market."

"Aren't the more colors of ornamental fish, the better?"

"Good-looking ones are not necessarily expensive. Ornamental fish are based on bloodlines. Generally, the purer the bloodlines of marine fish, the more monotonous the color on the body surface."

"Look at this one in my hand." Xiang Yang grabbed a golden thread fish and said, "This is a silk tail golden thread fish. Its whole body is light red, except for two longitudinal bands of different colors on the side of its body. A light yellow longitudinal band runs from the tip of the snout through the cheek along the lower side line to the base of the caudal fin, and the other longitudinal band is yellow. This longitudinal band is wide in the front and narrow in the back and extends from the pectoral fin through the whole body to the position of the caudal fin. If this is an ornamental fish Might be worth some money."

Fang Youqun immediately said: "Brother Yang, then I'll raise this golden thread fish."

"That's not necessary." Xiang Yang casually threw the golden thread fish into a foam box filled with crushed ice, "Gold thread fish is one of the important marine economic fish in our country. Its meat is tender and can be eaten directly. It is a very popular edible fish that can be eaten fresh or made into salted and dried products. Whether it is eaten fresh or smoked and dried, it can be suitable for various cooking methods, and it is not bad to sell it as edible fish.”

"Xiaoyang is right." He Mingde said with a smile: "Especially in the past ten years, the total catch of golden thread fish has dropped by a full 30%, especially the problem of catching juvenile fish is very serious, so it is also a relatively high-end fish. Eat fish."

"Yes." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "Because of overfishing and habitat fragmentation, the price of golden thread fish has gone crazy in the past two years. The batch we caught can be worth at least 100 yuan a catty."

"Ah? No way?" Immediately, a crew member asked suspiciously: "Captain, I have seen this kind of fish in the seafood market. The frozen very fresh one only costs 30 to 40 yuan a catty."

"Farmed." He Mingde said with a smile.

"That's right." Xiang Yang nodded and said: "Gold thread fish can breed naturally in artificial ponds. They are the easiest economic fish species to raise. You only need to enclose a sea area with mesh wires and don't need much investment. A lot of golden thread fish can be harvested in a steady stream.”

"Wild golden thread fish are still quite valuable. If these golden thread fish can be brought back alive, they can be sold at a higher price, but we are not planning to return to the voyage in a short time, so these golden thread fish will not be kept in live water tanks. Now, put some crushed ice cubes on the bottom of each foam box, and then put some crushed ice cubes between each layer of fish to ensure the freshness of the golden thread fish."
