Golden Fishery

"Put up the fishing net!" Qin Shiou frowned and ordered, and Shaq waved his hand. A fisherman on the boat put on strong and smooth water and went into the sea, tied the head of a piece of gillnet with a rope, and hung the other end on the Harvest. Drag to collect this fishing net.

The lethality of the gillnet is indeed very strong, and the fishing grounds are rich in resources, which happens to be cheap for this kind of dead-end net. As the nets are put away, a large number of catches appear.

The fishing net is full of sea fish, some big fish but more small fish, Qin Shiou went to have a look, pomfret, saury, cod, herring, mackerel, sea bass, small cod, and long northern hairtail .

The northern hairtail is a specialty of the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the hairtail fish only live in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Only the northern hairtail will swim from the Pacific Ocean to the North Atlantic to spawn in spring.

The swimming ability of this kind of fish is relatively poor. They really struggled to swim all the way from the Pacific Ocean to the North Atlantic Ocean. As a result, they escaped the mouth of sharks and fishing boats, and finally fell into this layer of nets.

"These bastards!" Qin Shiou slapped the dial of the motorboat angrily, and he said viciously through the walkie-talkie, "Listen, any fish thieves found in the future, no matter what the hell is going on, they will all be caught and treated as poaching leatherback turtles! "

He has always been too soft-hearted, because he knows the difficulties of pirating fish boats, and the fishing resources outside the sea are getting less and less. If everyone goes out to sea and fails to make a fortune, they will lose money. There is still a way out.

At least, he never killed anyone.

But now the fish thieves are getting more and more excessive, and even set a net in his fishing ground, this is absolutely intolerable!

Qin Shiou decided to fight back with a deadly hand, and the giant monster can't be so gentle in the future. If you encounter fish piracy boats again, they must be scrapped!

But in this way, it would be easy for them to harvest fish. This gillnet has a lot of fish hanging on it, and there are two to three tons of large and small fish. There is no shortage of precious economic fish such as Atlantic cod, Atlantic salmon, and silverscale salmon.

The fishermen quickly started to separate the catches according to their size. When Qin Shiou saw a box full of palm-sized small fish, his heart moved, and he said, "Take this box back for me. I have other uses."

Small fish have the benefits of small fish. His parents were here, and he remembered a delicacy he used to eat when he was a child, mixed fish in an iron pot, and it was just right to use these small fish.

On the Melon Princess, the long trawl net was gradually lowered. The sea monster drove the boat forward, so that the trawl slowly opened, forming a net of heaven and earth.

Qin Shiou chose a large trawl net,

Fish under half a meter are basically impossible to catch, while big fish over half a meter can slip through the net and escape as long as they are calm and smart and don’t get caught sideways by the fishing net.

There are many resources in the fishery, so he is not afraid of a small harvest.

Compared with Harvest. The Melon Princess is a high-end fishing boat with more complete equipment and a circle of halogen lights at the stern. There are three types of control switches in the cab: drifting light, anchor light, and dragging light.

Marine fish, especially pelagic fish, have strong phototaxis. The anglerfish discovered by Qin Shiou not long ago used this characteristic to hunt for food.

The sea monster turned on the lure light at the stern of the boat. The Melon Princess officially started operations.

There are not only halogen lights in the stern, but also incandescent lights in the inner circle. This kind of lamp is low in price and belongs to heat radiation lamp. They can convert electrical energy into heat energy, light energy and radiation energy, and at the same time meet the needs of sea fish for light and heat. Therefore, although the luminous efficiency is low, they are still not eliminated.

More importantly, the metal halide lamp, which is a gas discharge lamp, has a particularly high luminous efficiency because there is a metal halide in the lamp, the light presents a beautiful digging blue, and intermittently emits light with a wavelength of 520 nanometers and 560 nanometers.

This is the power of modern technology. According to research, pelagic fish are most sensitive to light with a wavelength of 560 nanometers under relatively good light conditions, and most sensitive to light with a wavelength of 520 nanometers under poor light conditions. The two wavelengths are the most efficient at attracting fish.

In the past, there was no such function on the Harvest, and trawling relied on Qin Shiou's so-called five-element dragon-finding formula and fish finder, but both of these were passive fishing, waiting for the fish to gather in groups, and then they found them before they could catch them.

Now the Melon Princess is an active fishing method. Using the light lure mode, they can gather scattered fish groups and catch them all at once, so the efficiency will naturally increase a lot.

It was Qin Shiou's first time watching a fishing boat use this function, and he was curious, so he watched it in the cabin.

The sea monster has been out in the open sea and is very familiar with these devices. He turned on a button with the signs of water flow and lamps printed on it, and said: "This is the drifting light lure mode. Now the water lights and underwater lights at the stern are turned on at the same time. The lights It is released and can drift with the current, which can expand the trapping range."

The next thing to do is much simpler. The sea monster sat on a chair with his feet on the bridge, drank coffee leisurely, and the next thing to do was to wait, waiting for the fish lure lamp to lure a large group of sea fish come up.

The fishing boat drove slowly for an hour, the sea monster hiccupped and stood up, commanding the fishermen to start working: "ok, ok, guys, the harvest season is here! Let's sing "Birch Forest" and start harvesting the sea. the gift!"

The fishermen laughed and sang. Working at sea is very boring. They have to find fun for themselves. Sometimes a random song can make people feel uplifted, so everyone often sings together.

Fishermen all have loud voices, and no one has a good voice, so no one will laugh at anyone else. Everyone's voice is like a scolding battle. Regardless of the tune, it depends on whose voice is louder and can overwhelm the others.

This is not a competition between them, but a tradition. The fishermen believe that the catch is collected during singing, and the louder the singing, the richer the catch.

The classic beginning of "A Good Place in the Birch Forest" sounded through the loudspeakers of the fishing boats, and the fishermen roared while working. Qin Shiou was infected and also roared: "A good place in the Birch Forest, the hometown of beavers... There are big elk there, Free to roam... blue lake water and rocky shore, I shall return again..."

Then came the singing part, the climax came: "-de-de---de-de--!!...!"

Everyone was roaring, especially the bull, who was blushing and had a thick neck.

And just as they thought, in the loud singing, the large fishing net was dragged up by the fishing machine, and the fishing net was full of Atlantic cod, haddock, pollock, white cod, and the fishing net was transferred to the warehouse and opened. Like a torrential rain, countless big fish fell down! (to be continued)
