My Deep-sea Fishery

Obviously, Chen Qingsheng was unwilling to close the net so quickly.

Xiang Yang said directly: "You two boats are almost going together."

Xiang Yang didn't speak too harshly. First, Chen Qingsheng was not the only one who could hear Xiang Yang's words on the other side of the walkie-talkie. Second, Chen Qingsheng also had a good heart.

Even if it is a step back, Chen Qingsheng, as a captain, doesn't even have the right to cast the net and when to collect the net, then he might as well be a first mate.

Soon, the fishing net was hoisted up. As Xiang Yang expected, there were not a few sea fish in the fishing net. The harvest from the first net was not enough for the staff to eat.

After Chen Qingsheng discussed with Wu Shiwen, the two ships began to distance themselves, and then cast the net again.

With the experience of the first net, the second net looks much more decent.

The fishing net is horizontal in the sea, and a horizontal line more than 200 meters long is pulled out in a straight line. There are hundreds of floats above the fishing net, floating the upper end of the fishing net on the sea surface.

This time, Xiang Yang was not interfering with Chen Qingsheng.

Xiang Yang has been patient and waited for more than an hour, and finally waited for the two fishing boats behind to pull up their nets.

This time, a large bag of catch was dragged onto the boat, which made Xiang Yang, who was watching from the observation deck, very happy.

This night, it was finally not the Air Force. Although the number of catches may actually be only a few tons, which is far from being a bumper harvest, it is at least much better than when the first net was caught.

The few tons of fish caught, let Xiang Yang see the feasibility of the fleet's fishing, and the future is bright, and the future can be expected.

"Everything is ready. After Chen Qingsheng and the others count the catches, some catches that are not easy to preserve may be sent to our boat for processing." Xiang Yang reminded the crew on the boat.

The crew members on Xiang Yang's boat were all eager to try.

Soon, Xiang Yang received news from Chen Qingsheng.

"Captain, good news!" Chen Qingsheng excitedly said to Xiang Yang on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"What good news?" Xiang Yang asked doubtfully.

"Catch, catch, captain, guess what kind of fish we caught in the net just now?" Chen Qingsheng said deliberately.

"What kind of fish is it? So happy, could it be that you caught a bluefin tuna?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.

"Ahem, bluefin tuna is not so easy to catch, but our luck this time can be regarded as very good. There were a total of more than six tons of catches in the net just now, and one ton was more than a ton. There are not very valuable catches like squid and cuttlefish, and three tons of milk fish, but the real valuable one is sequoia, which has about two tons." Chen Qingsheng said excitedly.

Xiang Yang's eyelids twitched when he heard the words, he was a little surprised and said: "You are so lucky, you can actually catch redwoods in the offshore?"

Milk fish is a very cheap sea fish, and the price is on the same level as turbot.

Milkfish also has another name called milkfish, which is the most widely distributed and most economically valuable species in the order Murata. Base of anal fin forms a scale sheath; Mouth terminal, small, protruding in the center of lower jaw, toothless, low pectoral fin, deeply forked caudal fin.

This streamlined, silvery fish, about the size of a mullet, likes to congregate in schools in warm waters on house reefs and continental shelves, and has a long history of being fished and farmed for food.

If it is farmed milk fish, the market price is generally more than 30 yuan per catty, which is a very cheap fish.

The wild ones are a little more expensive, but not much more expensive. The price is around two or three hundred, and the purchase price is about thirty or forty yuan per catty.

The real value is the redwood fish.

Sequoia is also called golden thread fish, and in some places it is also called red three fish or red brother carp, hanging three fish, dragging three fish, melon three fish, yellow belly fish gold thread, golden thread carp, six-tooth golden thread fish .

Sequoia is a fish belonging to the genus Aurantiaceae. This fish has golden longitudinal stripes in its body. It is long and flat on the sides. It is generally about 20 centimeters long and weighs half a catty. Left and right, mainly distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific, while my country is mainly distributed in the South China Sea.

Sequoia is the main fish caught by my country's seabed trawling fishery and one of the most important economic fish in the South China Sea. It has rich meat and high edible value. It can be chilled, pickled or dried.

There are many ways to eat this kind of fish. It can be steamed, fried, stewed with tomatoes, or boiled in soup. In this way, it tastes original, and the fish meat is extraordinarily sweet and smooth; if it is used to make soup, it is best to fry it until golden before adding other ingredients such as tofu to the same pot. In this way, the soup is milky white and extraordinarily tender. Sweet and delicious.

"That's right, more than two tons of redwood fish, that's four to five thousand catties. Even if the purchase price of this kind of fish is more than one hundred yuan per catty, you have almost earned the expenses of our trip. I'm back." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Four to five thousand catties of redwood fish cost more than one hundred yuan per catty, so if the net is netted, the redwood fish alone will cost more than half a million yuan.

Xiang Yang said that if he went online, he could only almost earn back the expenses. This sounds very exaggerated, but in fact it is not exaggerated at all.

At present, Xiang Yang's fleet has about 100 crew members alone, and the minimum salary for each crew member is 200 yuan a day. There are also management personnel and technical positions. Based on the average salary of 400 to 500 yuan a day, then this The daily salary is 50,000 yuan.

There is also fuel, food, and other expenses. When these expenses are added up, a trip to the sea, even if it is just a circle around the sea, is really more than half a million.

"First pick out those sequoias, and put all the fish that can be fed into the live water tank to raise them. If they can't be raised, they must also do a good job of keeping fresh. Send the cuttlefish and squid on the boat to my boat, and I will process them. , As for those milk fish, put them all in the frozen cabin," Xiang Yang said.

Chen Qingsheng is also a veteran, he said directly: "Don't worry, boss, I will arrange these things."

With the harvest of this net, even if you return directly to the voyage now, the cost of this trip has already been earned, and every fish you catch next will be pure profit.

Xiang Yang walked down from the watchtower with a relaxed face. He no longer has any pressure for the next voyage.

According to the established route, the fleet continued to sail south. Xiang Yang prepared to drive the ship to the side near the seaport, and then return. The time for this round trip was about a week.

Next, Chen Qingsheng and Wu Shiwen cast two more nets. Unfortunately, the catches in these two nets were very small, and they did not catch any valuable catches.
