My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 535 Migration

Time passed quietly.

Chen Qingsheng felt that it was almost done, "Captain, can you close the net?"

Xiang Yang nodded, he felt that it was almost the same, and dragging the net for as long as possible is not the way to go.

Following Xiang Yang's order, the fishing net was quickly pulled up, and a large bag of sea fish was dragged out of the sea.

After untying the fishing net, Chen Qingsheng led his men to use a harpoon to remove the sea fish.

"That's right, the harvest from this net is not bad. The wharf fish accounted for more than half, the number of squid and octopus is not much, there are also a lot of bamboo saury, and there are also sardines. This net has made money." Xu Fang said excitedly.

Xiang Yang smiled, they are all not very valuable sea fish, but they are also some of the best-selling sea fish, it is indeed a bumper harvest if the net is caught.

Xiang Yang ordered that bamboo saury wharf fish and the like should be stored in the freezer, and the rest should be processed into fish meal or canned food and fish balls.

"Huh? This is it?" Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes suddenly, and he saw the tails of two big gray-black fish.

"It turned out to be really a salmon." Xiang Yang rushed over, dragged the two fish out of the fish pile, and immediately smiled with excitement.

Salmon are carnivorous fishes, they are ferocious in nature, and live by preying on other fishes after reaching the sea.

King salmon is big and fat, with delicious meat. It can be eaten fresh, glued, smoked, processed and canned, all of which have special flavors. The salted fish roe is the famous "red seed" with high nutritional value. It enjoys a high reputation in the market.

In the past, salmon was a very famous export species. Chinese people generally could not afford such a precious seafood, and it was exported from Liaoning and Heilongjiang to foreign countries.

In the past ten years, the domestic economy has been changing with each passing day, and people's consumption levels have increased by countless steps. Now salmon is a very famous dish in China.

"Salmon is a very precious large-scale economic fish. Look for it to see if there are any salmon left. If there are any, put them all in the live water tank." Xiang Yang shouted loudly.

The largest salmon can reach more than 6.5 kilograms. It is extremely rich in fat and delicious in meat. Its roe is one of the famous and precious aquatic products in Northeast my country, with high nutritional value.

They also have many other names, such as "northern trout", "trunk fish", "mochi fish", "salmon fish" and so on.

The two salmon that Xiang Yang discovered are both adults, with a body length of more than one meter. The body shape is relatively flat, spindle-shaped, and the mouth is relatively large. It is very large, with a yellow-green back and a silver-white belly. At first glance, it looks like an obese grass carp.

Speaking of salmon, there is another thing worth mentioning.

When born, salmon live in freshwater rivers, but there is a lack of food in freshwater rivers. In order to forage and reproduce, salmon have to swim down the river and swim to the ocean to find food and grow.

The ocean is rich in food, and only the ocean can feed salmon.

However, the long years have not made the salmon fully adapt to life in the sea. As the salmon grow up and mature, their homesickness becomes stronger and stronger.

When it comes time to reproduce, no matter how far the salmon is from its birthplace, it must return to its hometown to raise children, because young salmon cannot live without the nourishment of their hometown.

The salmon that have lived in the ocean for four or five years will have the most spectacular migration journey on the planet.

Adult salmon have to go through a lot of hardships and go back to their hometown after several months or even a year.

Whenever the salmon migrate, groups of salmon cross the ocean, leap over the waterfall, cross the vast sea, swim into the inland rivers, and start to set off towards their goal.

They have an extraordinary sense of smell and can distinguish the water of their birth river among millions of liters of sea water.

The salmon's journey home is long and fraught with hardships, passing waterfalls several meters high and other obstacles along the way.

The secret of how salmon travel across vast oceans to return to their birthplace is still a mystery.

Biologists found after research that there is a kind of iron particles in the brain of salmon, which can help salmon to find the direction to go like a compass.

Scientists have discovered that when the salmon start their migration, they are full-bodied, beautiful-skinned, energetic, and swim very fast, traveling upriver 40 kilometers per day and night.

The salmon migrate to the river, and due to the sudden exposure to fresh water, the kidneys and other organs of the salmon have to adapt to the sudden lack of salt.

This is a life or death test for salmon.

Under normal circumstances, salmon will stop eating or even drinking water after entering the river. They struggle to run upstream, relying on the energy stored in their bodies.

Going upstream in the river, salmon will encounter many high-drop currents, such as waterfalls.

At this time, the salmon will jump over, which is the ability of the salmon after six million years of evolution.

The maximum jumping ability of the salmon can jump the height of 4 floors, which is incredible.

Xiang Yang once watched a precious recorded video.

There is a small river in the forest.

Two big grizzly bears lay on the upper reaches of the small river, stretching their heads above the waterfall, countless salmon jumped from below the waterfall to the upper reaches of the small river, and were caught by the two big grizzly bears with their mouths.

Of course, those two grizzly bears were not doing good deeds to help the salmon go home, they were just simply hungry.

The taste of salmon after migration is far inferior to that of salmon in the ocean, and the price of the two is also very different.

Because migratory salmon can only stop eating once they enter the freshwater area.

After they have traveled long distances for countless days and nights, and have gone through untold hardships, they finally return to their hometown after a long absence.

The hungry and cold salmon will become dull and dull, with their backs protruding like a hump, their lower jaws hooked inwards, and their big and long teeth exposed, showing a hideous face. , Such salmon, even wild ones, usually cost tens of dollars a catty.

"Is the salmon very valuable?" Fang Youqun was holding a salmon, so he didn't know why, "This fish seems to be very famous. I saw it in the supermarket, and it only cost twenty or thirty yuan a catty."

"It's farmed, and there is no astaxanthin in its body." Xiang Yang smiled, "There are four types of salmon, one is farmed, and this kind of salmon is the least valuable, and the second is migratory Those who go to rivers and rivers, such big salmon are skinny, and they are also not very valuable. The third one is small salmon, which is strictly forbidden to be salvaged. Only the big salmon grown in this ocean is Best value for money salmon."
