My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 30: Harvest

  Xiangyang’s boats are always equipped with three types of fishing nets, namely dense nets, fine-net fishing nets and medium-net fishing nets.

In fact, a dense-net fishing net is used to catch a puffer fish. The puffer fish, which looks like a tadpole, has strong drilling ability and can easily drill holes much smaller than its body shape. A ten-centimeter long puffer fish can be easily removed from a fine-net fishing net. Drill out of the mesh.

But the puffer fish is now an endangered creature. The pure freshwater puffer fish in the wild is almost extinct now. The price of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per catty in some big hotels is almost as high as blue crucian tuna. The price of puffer fish in the ocean is low. No, but it also cost thousands of dollars. It is not easy to encounter a group of pufferfish in the ocean. Xiang Yang never thought of killing them all.

   Soon, a fine-net fishing net was thrown from the tail of the stray fishing boat to the sea, and the fishing boat slowed down to trawl.

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

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

   "It's done." Uncle Xiang craned his neck and looked at the fishing net until he saw the big bag of fish that was wrapped in the net when it came out of the water and finally smiled happily.

   "This efficiency is too high, right?" Xiang Chen was also stunned. He had fished for many years, and the pile of fish caught in a net had completely refreshed his worldview.

   "The good days are yet to come, don't be stunned, hurry up and clean up the catch." Xiang Yangcai waited for the fishing net to be dragged onto the deck and immediately called out loudly.

   "Yes, hurry up and clean up the catch. This puffer fish will be raised in sea water, and it will be worthless if it dies." Xiang Jiu also said loudly.

The fishing nets were untied, a large group of oblate bodies, the shortest body length was about ten centimeters, and the longest one was even more than 40 centimeters. A large group of pufferfish were jumping alive on the deck. After a while, there was a pile of chubby **** on the deck. "Balloon".

In addition to being highly toxic, the pufferfish also has a special function to defend against enemies. Its stomach can inhale a large amount of water or air to make the body instantly expand into bubbles and emerge from the water, so that the enemy has no time to kill it.

  The puffer fish in a balloon state also erects the spines on the epidermis like a hedgehog for self-defense. Even if caught by other animals, the puffy and prickly puffer fish can make it difficult for the opponent to swallow.

   Xiangyang hugged a "big ball" with a diameter of more than forty centimeters and placed it in an aquarium. "All pufferfish with a length of more than 30 centimeters were picked out and kept alone. Don't mix with the small pufferfish."

   Adult pufferfish generally grow to be ten to thirty centimeters in size. The price of pufferfish in this range is similar, and the pufferfish over thirty centimeters are more treasured, and their value immediately doubles.

"Come on, I'll get it." Uncle Xiang walked to the water tank where the big puffer fish with a length of more than 40 cm was located, and slowly stroked the puffer fish with one hand a little behind the head of the puffer fish. After a while, he saw that the diameter exceeded The big 40-centimeter "balloon" narrowed slowly, and soon returned to the appearance of a normal pufferfish.

Of course, there are more than just puffer fish in this net. The puffer fish is an omnivorous creature. It eats more mixed food. Fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, even some floating algae, plant leaves are also included in their diet, and they are in the ocean. The food chain is at a lower level, has no sense of territory, and can live with many marine life groups.

   "Don't throw these worthless marine fish in the water tank, waste the space in the water tank, and throw the ice in the freezer." Xiang Yang saw that someone caught no matter what kind of fish was thrown into the water tank and hurriedly stopped.

After busying for a long time, the catch was finally cleared. The net caught more than 3,000 catties, of which the puffer fish was one thousand catties. Although the remaining two thousand catties of marine fish were not very valuable marine 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 with excitement: "If we go down this network, the profit will definitely exceed one million."

   Xiang Yang also counted it silently. It was really shocking. Even if the fish were not counted for the cheap sea fish of more than two thousand catties, the value of the pufferfish alone was more than one million.

In fact, the value of puffer dolphins in previous years was higher. At that time, the artificial breeding conditions for pufferfish were still immature, but the freshwater pufferfish in rivers and lakes were almost extinct. At that time, the price of the Yangtze pufferfish, which was known as one of the three fresh foods of the Yangtze River, was fetched to seven or eight With the sky-high price of one thousand yuan a catty, the value of the pufferfish in the sea has also risen to three or four thousand yuan a catty.

   In recent years, the technology of artificially farming pufferfish has matured, and the price of wild pufferfish has gradually dropped to more than 1,000 yuan per catty.

   Of course, this price drop refers to the pufferfish in the sea. The Yangtze river pufferfish is still priceless.

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

   "Don't, this thing can really poison people." Uncle Xiang immediately shook his head.

"Okay!" Xiang Yang nodded regretfully. In fact, Xiang Yang has never tasted the taste of puffer fish when he grows up so much~www.wuxiahere.com~ but I have always heard people say how delicious the pufferfish tastes, even if he risked his death. Also eat puffer fish. Xiang Yang naturally wanted to try it after listening to it for a long time, but of course Xiang Yang could only give up after seeing uncle Xiang, a person who wandered on the sea all year round and didn't know how to deal with the pufferfish toxin.

   "This kind of opportunity will not be common in the future, do you want to cast a net down?" Xiang Jiu asked.

   Xiang Yang hesitated, and finally shook his head and said: "Forget it, the first net is a gift to us from the ocean, and the second net is that we kill the ocean."

   "Okay!" Uncle Xiang could only shook his head regretfully. According to his experience, there must be a lot of pufferfish under the sea. If you can catch all of them, you will definitely earn more. But Xiang Yang was right. If everyone sees the high-end marine products 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, and he directly shouted: "Speed ​​up and keep going. After an hour, we will tow a net of fish up again, and then dive down to the bottom of the sea to see before returning, etc. I will give everyone a day off when I go back."

   "Diving into the sea?"

   "Diving into the sea?"

The crew on the ship suddenly had two completely different reactions. The old sailors including Xiang Jiu had a slight change in their expressions. The new sailors recruited from Qinglong Bend were all happy, looking forward to seeing how the bottom of the sea looks like. Fan scenery.

   Xiang Yang also noticed that the expressions of the two old sailors on the boat had changed, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Why, is there any problem with what I said?"

   The two old sailors glanced at each other, and then stopped talking, but in the end they both shook their heads, "Captain, we are fine."

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