My Deep-sea Fishery

Many people say that king crab is expensive because king crab is rare.

In fact, Xiang Yang felt that the so-called rarity is more expensive, which is based on the fact that the quality of the item itself is excellent.

The quality is not good, and the rare items are not worth the money.

"The quality of this kind of pepper crab is slightly better than that of the king crab of intelligence, but it is a lot worse than the long-legged crab of the Bering Strait. It is a very common long-legged crab. The price should be around two A hundred yuan a catty." Xiang Yang said.

"How is it possible, this is king crab!" Fang Youqun obviously couldn't accept the price, and he looked at Xiang Yang with a painful face.

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to this guy who has lost Qian Qian's eyes.

There are more than 100 kinds of crabs that can be called king crabs by merchants in the world, but the king crabs that can be recognized by customers are only Alaskan long-legged crabs.

This kind of pepper crab looks very big. In fact, after the shell is opened, most of the inside of the shell is empty. Although the taste of the meat is better than that of the king crab, it is not worth buying for customers.

"What are you muttering about? Does it matter to you how much a catty of crabs cost? Hurry up and clean up the catch on the boat." Chen Qingsheng yelled loudly when he saw that Xiang Yang ignored Fang Youqun.

"Don't you see I'm cleaning up?"

"I'm saying, this matter has nothing to do with me. My diving skills are so good. If this crab is valuable, then I can dive under the water to catch it."

"If I can catch a few valuable crabs, do you think my Brother Yang will treat me badly?" Fang Youqun said quite dissatisfied.

Chen Qingsheng was almost amused by Fang Youqun's words, "If this crab is really an Alaskan king crab, the captain would never let you go down and catch it."

Naturally, Fang Youqun didn't believe Chen Qingsheng's words, so he only gave Chen Qingsheng a disdainful expression for Chen Qingsheng to understand. He was so angry that Chen Qingsheng almost fought with him.

Xiang Yang was amused by Fang Youqun's actions, and said: "Master Chen is right, if this crab is really an Alaskan longleg crab, then I won't allow you to go into the water at all."

Fang Youqun was stunned, and quickly asked, "Brother Yang, why is this?"

"Could it be that Alaskan longleg crabs are so easy to catch, Brother Yang, you can go down and catch them all by yourself?" Fang Youqun asked stupidly.

Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "On the contrary, Alaskan king crabs are so difficult to catch that other long-legged crabs are being passed off as Alaskan king crabs in seafood markets around the world."

There have been media reports that Alaskan crabbers are endangering their lives when fishing for Alaskan king crab.

Alaskan crabbers are engaged in one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, and their work-related death rate is more than 50 times that of ordinary workers.

During the crabbing season, an average of one crabber dies every week in the Bering Strait, and crabbers often work more than 20 hours a day.

The extreme fatigue and the cold weather made the fishermen's reactions gradually dull, and they could even stand unsteadily on the bumpy and slippery deck. Many people were swept into the sea by the fierce waves under such circumstances and drowned .

Of course, super high risks bring super high returns.

Under the heavy exploitation of fishing companies, shipyards, fleets, and captains, an ordinary crabber, as long as they survive the crabbing season, they can bring home at least 600,000 yuan.

The Bering Sea between the Far East of Russia and Alaska is one of the most dangerous places for fishing in the world. The sea here is often in continuous storms. Many Alaskan fishermen spend their lives on fishing year after year.

During the two crabbing seasons every year, fishermen in Alaska will drive large fishing boats out to sea to catch king crab and a kind of crab called Opilio, which is little known in our country.

The crabbing boat in Alaska is different from Xiang Yang's fishing boat, and the captain can't return if he wants to.

Every time they go fishing, the crabbers in Alaska have to wait until the crabs fill the fishing boats before returning. The fastest time to go to sea is only three days, and the slowest time is even staying in the ice and snow for more than two months.

In that extremely cold and harsh weather, Xiang Yang led the crew underwater for an afternoon under the premise of having ultra-advanced equipment.

Relying on crude equipment to continue diving in that harsh environment for two months, Xiang Yang couldn't imagine how those Alaskan fishermen survived.

In our country, fishermen generally do not go to sea in stormy weather.

Yet fishermen in Alaska often have to work hard during constant offshore storms, encountering waves that can exceed twenty feet at any given moment.

Xiang Yang once saw a surveillance video about crabbers in Alaska in an ocean forum.

In that surveillance video, waves of nearly 80 feet were constantly rising on the sea. The Alaska crabbers worked under such conditions and worked for 20 hours without taking a break.

Through the screen, Xiang Yang can even see the stormy waves of the sea.

"Anyway, don't worry about Alaskan king crabs. It's impossible for me to catch Alaskan king crabs." Xiang Yang told Fang Youqun.

"Why not? Just because it's hard to catch? Alaskan king crabs are very valuable. I think we can find time to go to the Bering Strait." Fang Youqun said anxiously.

Is it worth it?

Xiang Yang thought about it, and it was indeed very valuable.

During the crabbing season, on average, each crabbing ship going to the Bering Strait can catch about 20 tons of crabs, and among the 20 tons of crabs, at least five tons are Alaskan king crabs.

And if a crab fishing boat is lucky and returns with a full load, the boat may carry more than 6,000 tons of crabs, and each fisherman on board can get at least 100,000 U.S. dollars per boat.

This is definitely a huge sum of money for fishermen whose income levels are generally not high.

Alaskan king crab can only be sold for 5,000 yuan, and now there are more and more hotels making this kind of crab in our country.

Such high-priced Alaska is naturally unusual. The large ones can weigh up to 10 catties, and the small ones can weigh five or six catties. One crab leg can make a person half full. This kind of crab is the Alaskan king crab that grows in the cold and deep sea of ​​the North Pacific Ocean. Because of its huge size, it is also known as the "king crab".

Although, for crabs, a big family that almost occupies the entire water system, the price of emperor crabs is actually not high.

But in the category of long-legged crabs, the price of king crabs is definitely the best.

In fact, there are not many types of long-legged crabs that customers can choose from in the seafood market in my country.
