My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 899: School of Sardines

Except for big muzai, the rest of the catches are relatively ordinary.

Mostly squid and some pomfret.

After handling all the catches on the deck, Xiang Yang was not in a hurry to cast the net, and ordered the fishing boat to continue sailing eastward.

Soon, the fleet crossed the South China Sea and reached the range of the high seas.

"Brother Yang, Brother Yang." At this time, Fang Youqun's loud shout suddenly came from the bow.

"I'm here, what's the matter?" Xiang Yang, who was basking in the sun on the deck chair, looked up suspiciously and asked.

"Brother Yang, look over there." Fang Youqun stood on the side of the boat, pointing in one direction and said excitedly.

"What?" Xiang Yang looked curiously in the direction of Fang Youqun's finger.

If you don't look at it, you don't know. Xiang Yang was shocked when he saw it.

I saw a large group of dark blue sea fish gathered together, as if overwhelming the sky.

Xiang Yang suddenly turned his head and stared at Fang Youqun, "Damn it, why don't you order such a big school of fish to cast a net and call me over to watch the fun?"

Fang Youqun scratched his head at a loss, "I ordered the net to be cast? Brother Yang, isn't this very good?"

"Let's not talk about that for now, hurry up and cast the net now, if you see such a big school of fish again in the future, don't tell me, just order to cast the net." Xiang Yang told Fang Youqun.

"Yes, Brother Yang, I'm going to notify the winch." After speaking, Fang Youqun ran towards the stern of the boat.

Xiang Yang continued to stare at the group of sea fish, grinned and laughed.

The group of overwhelming dark blue sea fish is the famous sardines.

Xiang Yang knows that sardines have clusters. Every spring, sardines gather in groups, appearing overwhelmingly on the surface of the ocean like a plague of locusts.

But now is the autumn and winter season. Normally, due to the temperature, sardines will stay away from the surface of sea water and dive to deep water areas to spend the winter.

Xiang Yang looked up at the sky, it seems that in the past few days, the nearby sun has been relatively high, which has raised the temperature of the surface of the sea, so that he can see so many sardines gathering.

This situation is actually very rare.

Not because of the climate.

The main reason is that sardines are warm-water fish, and they generally rarely appear in open seas.

Xiang Yang's current location is a tropical ocean. Although the temperature is very suitable for sardines, few sardines can swim so far.

At this time, Xiang Yang saw that the two gillnet fishing boats next to the fishing boat were also casting their nets separately. For such a large school of sardines, for fishermen, part-time job is a gift from heaven.

At this time, there is no need to control anything, and the fishing boats need to cast their nets, and there will be huge gains.

At this time, the two tiger-headed sea eagles on the roof of the cabin also started to move around.

Recently, it may be the reason that the two little tiger-headed sea eagles are about to hatch. The two tiger-headed sea eagles spend most of their time in the eagle's nest, and generally do not fly out of the eagle's nest except when necessary.

Xiang Yang actually blamed himself.

Because based on the normal hatching time of the tiger-headed sea eagle, the two little tiger-headed sea eagles should have hatched long ago.

The reason why it was delayed for so long and did not hatch, Xiang Yang estimated, should be related to the previous fishing boat trip to the Antarctic Circle.

Although adult Steller sea eagles are not afraid of blizzards and can survive in the extremely harsh weather of Antarctica, but unborn juveniles cannot.

The extremely cold weather seriously affected the hatching speed of the two young tiger-headed sea eagles.

But fortunately, the two tiger head sea eagle eggs were not damaged by freezing.

Xiang Yang had already illuminated it with a flashlight, and there was a black shadow inside the two tiger-headed sea eagle eggs, and the black shadow was gradually getting bigger day by day.

"Chirp—"

Accompanied by the eagle's cry that resounded through the sky, the two male eagles finally couldn't help it. They saw it spread its wings, quickly rushed out of the eagle's nest, and then rushed towards the sky like sharp swords.

Immediately afterwards, the male eagle flapped its wings quickly, like a sharp sword, and plunged into the sea in an instant.

"Tiger head went fishing too." Zhou Wang walked to Xiang Yang and said with a smile.

Xiang Yang nodded and said with a smile: "It's almost fat like an old hen. It's not bad to let it move around and catch fish by itself."

Since the two Steller's sea eagles settled on the ship, they have been living in a comfortable environment, and many crew members feed them every day.

Even Xiang Yang hadn't seen those two tiger-headed sea eagles hunting for food by himself for a long time.

"Keep an eye on this group of sardines, these fish are very valuable." Xiang Yang said.

In fact, the price of sardines has always been relatively cheap because of the huge quantity.

But that refers to spring, when sardines are in season.

At this time, the supply of sardines in the market is in short supply and the price is very high.

"Don't worry, Captain, I'll be watching. This time, we'll drag at least one hundred tons of sardines back." Zhou Wang said confidently.

The most difficult thing about catching sardines is that sardines are a kind of fish that like to hide and seek. They generally like to hide under the sea water, and fishermen can't see them, so they can only be caught by special methods.

And once groups of sardines appear on the sea, for fishermen, it is like picking up money.

Moreover, sardines are not worried about selling in the market at all.

Xiang Yang thought for a while, then nodded and said: "The group of sardines is very large, let alone a hundred tons, even a thousand tons, it will not affect their reproduction in any way, and they can be opened in a while. Net, fish with confidence."

Zhou Wang asked: "Captain, it's too much, will it affect its price?"

"Don't worry, 1,000 tons sounds like a lot, but it's actually just a boat. If you put this amount in such a large city, you won't even be able to float a single splash." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Sardines are a kind of fish that are not only popular among consumers, but also by fishermen and seafood business owners.

Because the meat of sardines is delicious, there are various cooking methods, each of which tastes great, and the growth rate of sardines is extremely fast, and their reproductive ability is also very terrifying. As long as there is enough food, they can reproduce infinitely in the ocean.

Therefore, as long as sardines are caught, no matter how much they are caught, there is no need to worry about the market.

Seafood buyers like Zhang Qicheng are not afraid that the sardines will not be sold at all, they are only afraid that the fishermen will not be able to provide enough sardines.

After listening to Xiang Yang's words, Zhou Wang smiled wryly and said, "No matter how popular this sardine is, I think it is our limit to catch one hundred tons. Sardines are very cunning fish, and our fishing boats are too big. It’s too big, if it weren’t for the terrifying amount of sardines in this sea area, I’m afraid it would be very difficult for us to tow a hundred tons.”
