A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

   Minamino Shuichi's whaling fishing boat approached the 5,000-ton whaling ship, and the other party immediately used a machine to hoist the five whales on the deck of the fishing boat after receiving the news.

  The deck of this whale-worker ship is wide, which is the place for cutting whales; the lower deck is equipped with a processing room to produce whale oil, whale meat, whale powder, etc.

  After the five whales were hoisted over, the people on this ship immediately started the dissection work. After dissection, they were sorted and placed in the processing room under the deck for processing...

   As for Minami Shuuichi, he went to talk to George. It was almost evening and he planned to wait until tomorrow to start fishing. He was very satisfied that he had caught five whales today.

   "Brother, you are really amazing! You caught five whales this big in less than a day." George patted Minami Shuichi on the shoulder in admiration after seeing Shuichi Minamino coming up.

   "Hey, luck, just luck." Minami Xiuyi smiled and touched his nose.

   "It seems that I can eat whale meat on my first day here." George laughed.

   "No problem, after they finish processing, I'll ask someone to get some whale meat for you to try! By the way, let me tell you, whale meat is not delicious, whale tongue is delicious!" Nanye Xiu said.

   "Oh, is that so?" George asked curiously. He had eaten whale meat but not whale tongue.

   "Yes, you can try it tonight." Minano Shuichi laughed.

  When he came to Hokkaido for more than two years, he ate both whale meat and whale tongue.

   Anyway, he thinks whale meat is not very tasty, similar to the usual mutton and beef. Anyway, he doesn't like to eat whale meat, at most whale tongue.

   In the island country, there is no difference between whale meat and pork, beef and mutton, and even the practice is similar. A whale meat lunch box set includes smoked whale and whale steak.

  Islanders say that you should eat whales while they are hot, otherwise they will have a fishy smell when they are cold. It is undeniable that the cooked whale meat is very delicious, but in fact, the taste is not much different from ordinary meat, only a little more fishy.

  Why do islanders have a special liking for whale meat? There are so many fish in the sea, you can't eat what you want. You have to run to the whales! Eating whale meat is definitely a status symbol in the island country, just like the wealthy people of later generations who like to eat bird's nest and shark fins. If you can eat whale meat, then the living standard of this family is good. Some places in the island country even require all school students to eat whale meat three times a month, whether you like it or not, you must eat it. The reason is that eating whale meat can strengthen your body.

   Well, this is a perverted hobby!

   Fishing for whales is a general trend, and in the next two decades, the world will be fishing. When the whales are on the brink of extinction, humans don't think about protecting them.

   It's like tuna, which the Canadians and the Americans nearly brought them to extinction. At the time, the Americans and Canadians were hunting for tuna in the Atlantic. Make the Atlantic tuna endangered.

  In addition to tuna and whales, there is also a great white sturgeon, a variety of sturgeon. Caviar is what people in Europe like to eat. What caviar and red wine would go better. It is because they like to eat caviar that the great white sturgeon is on the brink.

   Who is to blame? Isn't it just human greed?

   It can be said that no one is not greedy, anyway, they can do anything for money.

   insist on not being cruel, unless human beings do not eat meat and eat grass every day. As a result, the grass is expected to become extinct.

   After eating, Minano Shuichi stood on the roof of the boat, blowing the cold wind.

   At this time, he remembered a movie "Blood Diamonds" that he had seen in his previous life, which said that 80% of the diamonds in the world are stained with blood, sin and dirt.

   But diamonds are used to decorate rings, when a diamond ring is given to the bride by the groom, it is solemn and sacred! But they don't know that the diamonds on their hands are stained with blood, dirt and sin!

  Diamonds are obtained through war! I don't know how many people died, how much blood was shed...

   How greedy are humans?

   Minano Shuichi doesn't know either, but he knows that no one is pure in heart, no one is not greedy, and he can't avoid it.

   shook his head, put aside the thoughts in his mind, and lit a cigarette: "What's the use of thinking so much!"

   "Minano-kun, what are you thinking?" At this time, Ami Inoue walked to his side, and a fragrant wind blew her nostrils.

   "Why, go and have a drink with me." Minami Hideyoshi wrapped Ami Inoue's waist.

"it is good."

   The next day, Shuichi Minano continued to lead the fishing team to fish.

   "The tropical marine fishery resources are generally scarce in normal seasons. I didn't expect that there would be so many in winter. As expected, it was the result of fish escaping the winter." Minami Shuichi sighed with emotion.

   In general, tropical biological resources are richer than temperate zones such as terrestrial forests, but the ocean is an exception. Is it because there are more cold-water fish or the influence of ocean currents? Several major fishing grounds in the world are also at high latitudes.

  Why are tropical oceans far less abundant in fish than temperate oceans?

   That is because the temperate ocean has strong wind and strong mixing, and it is also the intersection of warm water and cold water (ocean polar front), so the seawater is rich in nutrients, high in primary productivity, rich in natural fish resources, and large in catch!

The water mass of the tropical ocean is tropical ocean water, which is characterized by high temperature and high salinity. There are thermoclines and study clines under the mixed layer of the sea surface (the most typical is the Western Warm Pool), and the wind is small and the mixing effect is weak. , resulting in low nutrient content in the euphoric layer of the sea surface, low primary productivity, poor fish resources, and low fish catches.

  If it is the normal season, there are not many fish in the tropical ocean or near the equator, but it is different in winter. Most of the fish that need to escape the winter or migrate are concentrated in tropical marine areas or near the Antarctic. This also caused an unusually large number of fish in the tropical waters in winter.

   Anyway, the fish in the Minami Shuuichi system are always prompting!

   On this day, Hide Minami handed this 1,000-ton whaling fishing boat to the old man Kimura and the others. He led two 500-ton trawlers and an 800-ton integrated fishing boat to the northwest.

  Because he found that there were a lot of tuna in that place, he planned to go and have a look, of course, he would fish hard if he could!

   Originally, Kimura and the others had already set off for a day, but they were called back by their boss to exchange fishing boats. Anyway, they had to do whatever Minami Shuo said.
