Golden Fishery

Most people's understanding of crabs is those small tanks on the bottom of the sea. They have carapaces and hold large pincers. They eat meat and drink tyrannically. A forest hero under the sea.

In fact, crabs also contribute a lot to the ocean. They are regulators of heavy metal content in the ocean. People who like to eat crabs know that there are two rows of soft ribs under the crab's large carapace, which are their lungs.

Crabs need to continuously absorb seawater during their life. When seawater passes through their lungs, heavy metal ions will be screened out, and the related ion content in the outflowing seawater will be very low.

Sanders told Qin Shiou, and Qin Shiou nodded. He also planned to raise crabs before, but later found that there were a lot of queen crabs in the fishing ground, so the matter was shelved.

Later, because queen crabs marched offshore in winter, Qin Shiou was afraid of harming the coral reefs, so he organized fishermen to salvage many times, cleaned up several large crab groups, and sold them to Miami and New York for money.

Now that the heavy metal content in fish farms exceeds the standard, sea crabs must be raised on a large scale.

The question is, what type of crab are they going to raise?

The best crabs often come from the Pacific Ocean, such as Dungeness crabs, king crabs, etc. There are also many species of snow crabs that are abundant in the North Atlantic Ocean in the Pacific Ocean.

What Qin Shiou wants to breed is Dungeness crab. As an important resource of crab products in the United States, this kind of crab, just like its name, is indeed a very valuable treasure.

The value of Dungeness crab is not only delicious, but also because of its high meat yield, more than 25%, that is, to buy one kilogram of Dungeness crab. You can eat half a catty of crab meat, which is unimaginable for snow crabs and blue crabs.

The queen crabs produced in Daqin Fishery can be sold at high prices in New York and Miami. The price of the best crabs is 200% higher than that of similar products in the market. The reason is that their crabs are not only delicious but also have high nutritional value. There is also a higher yield of crabmeat.

But even for the best Daqin brand queen crabs, the crab meat yield is less than 20%, while the normal ones are only 16%-18%. As for the common queen crabs outside, the crab meat yield is lower, up to 13% !

The main production area of ​​Dungeness crab is North America. And more than 90% of Dungeness crabs in North America are caught by American fishermen, while Canadian catches are very small.

The amount of catch in Canada is small, but the sales volume is not low. Usually, after most Dungeness crabs are salvaged from the west coast of the United States, they will pass through San Diego in the United States to Vancouver, Canada. It was then distributed to supermarkets and restaurants across Canada via Vancouver.

Therefore, if Daqin Fishery can breed Dungeness crabs, then Daqin brand seafood can enter Canada's leading products in one fell swoop.

This is the problem with egg pain. Dungeness crabs are regional reproductive crabs. The largest population of them lives in the waters of Alaska, and the number in other waters of the North Pacific Ocean is relatively reduced. In the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, there are almost none.

also. Dungeness crabs in the waters of Alaska are not only numerous, but also the largest individual, with an average weight of 1 kg. On average, Dungeness crabs from Washington, Oregon, California, and Columbia, Canada, were 25 percent smaller.

Countries and regions on the Atlantic coast have studied how to introduce Dungeness crab. Especially in Japan, this kind of crab is sold very well in the island country. The funds they use to study Dungeness crab are second only to the investment in bluefin tuna.

However, now that bluefin tuna farming technology has made revolutionary progress, Japan's Dungeness crab farming technology is still at a loss.

Fortunately, the sea area of ​​Hokkaido in Japan belongs to the North Pacific Ocean, and this kind of crab is also produced. Only in this way can Japanese diners rely on Dungeness crab.

In Qin Shiou's understanding, the crab with the most economic value and potential value is Dungeness crab. Now countries and regions with the conditions will catch them in winter, resulting in a reduction in the production of this crab.

The protection of Dungeness crab is very strong in the United States and Canada. Only male crabs can be caught, and female crabs caught must be returned to the sea, and cannot be transported or sold. Once someone is found breaking the law, in addition to heavy fines, no more fishing licenses for Dungeness crabs will be issued in this lifetime.

Yes, fishing Dungeness crab is the same as hunting bluefin tuna, you need to purchase a fishing license from the Ministry of Fisheries, otherwise it is illegal fishing.

After Qin Shiou said his plan, Sanders was a little embarrassed.

He knows the difficulty of breeding Dungeness crabs in the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, the Marine Science Research Institute of the University of Toronto has also studied the method of breeding Dungeness crabs in the Atlantic Ocean, but no substantial progress has been made in the end.

There is no doubt that if the Daqin Fishery wants to breed this kind of crab, the technical pressure will be on him, and Qin Shiou will not spend a high price to raise him without making any contribution.

In addition, the female crabs and crab species of Dungeness crabs are quite expensive, especially since there are no Dungeness crab breeding bases in the whole province of Newfoundland. If you want to breed Dungeness crabs, you have to transport them from Columbia, and the freight alone is an astronomical figure.

If Sanders cannot successfully breed this crab, then he really has no way to explain to Qin Shiou.

After hesitating for a while, Sanders decided to open up and say: "I said, farming Dungeness crabs in the North Atlantic is not much different from throwing Canadian dollars into the sea. To be honest, I don't have the confidence to get it done." this subject."

Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and said in an encouraging manner: "Let's go and work hard. I believe you will be fine! You can find a way to breed it. I don't need you to be responsible. It is my idea to insist on breeding Dungeness crabs. In the end, if it is true that the breeding cannot be successful, the responsibility is also on me."

Sanders smiled wryly. The boss can say that, but as a subordinate, how dare he shift the responsibility to the boss?

He felt that Qin Shiou was a little crazy. If he had known that this guy wanted to breed Dungeness crabs, he would not have come to work in Daqin Fishery. He was not here to be a technical consultant, but to enter the Nobel Prize!

Qin Shiou was telling the truth. He felt that with the powerful transformation of Seagod energy on creatures, it should be no problem to transform Dungeness crabs to adapt to the Atlantic Ocean.

Sanders has another great use, let this veteran marine expert go on a second job to raise Dungeness crabs, but when the time comes to find someone who has successfully raised Dungeness crabs, he can't raise Dungeness crabs without an explanation, right?

The subject he prepared for Sanders was to study the giant black cover worm. He had sent giant monsters to get back more than a dozen worm carapaces, and now they are throwing them on the coral reef, ready to be fished up for research at any time.

But Sanders didn't know, he accepted the Dungeness crab breeding project with a bitter face, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call a group of old guys after leaving the villa: "Hurry up and provide me with technical support, my little boss wants to raise Dungeness crabs !"

"Oh God, is he crazy?"

"No, he's not crazy, I'm crazy, and I'm crazy with him!"

"Okay, then may God bless you, I have already foreseen the scene where you lose even your pants." (To be continued)
