Golden Fishery
189. Seine fishing
It was Qin Shiou's idea to divert the money from dealing with the fish disaster in Shenbao Lake to expand tourism channels, so when he encountered trouble in this area, he needed to help.
The most important thing is that he has nothing to do, so he can't just lie on the beach and bask in the sun all day, right?
Not only did he come to help himself, Qin Shiou also brought Iverson and Nelson with him, and drove to the lakeside in the morning, where Hamley, who was wearing a vest and a suit, was already waiting there. In addition, there are a dozen large or small fishing boats docked by the lake, and there are fishing nets on the shore.
Seeing Qin Shiou, Hamle came up to shake hands enthusiastically, and then said, "Have you eaten yet?"
"What?" Qin Shiou didn't react for a moment.
Hamley smiled and said, "Isn't this the most commonly used greeting among you Chinese? Recently, I invited a professor who has researched Chinese language and literature from the School of Foreign Languages of St. John's University. Tell me about the culture and customs of your country."
Qin Shiou suddenly realized, look at this civil servant, he really spared no effort to develop the town's economy, and he really took the development of tourism as a serious matter.
"Eat, buddy, the breakfast is great, have you eaten?" Qin Shiou replied.
Hamlei sighed, and said, "I haven't eaten yet. Damn it, why don't those gentlemen in Maple Leaf City just sit in their office and listen to our good news, instead of causing us problems."
Qin Shiou choked for a moment. It seems that Hamley didn't understand the culture of "meal greetings" deeply enough. How could he answer like that? This is a Chinese-style question and a European-style answer.
Afterwards, people arrived one after another. Hamley found the backbone including Qin Shiou, and introduced: "This time, we are going to perform a purse seine to catch Asian carp. Give the masters an explanation, is it okay?"
Hughes laughs: "God, what a job, seining Asian carp has proven to be a bad option."
Hamley said, "We're just here to deal with it. Don't you really want to kill our God of Wealth?"
Propaganda by Hamley. Many in the town knew that the Asian carp, which they considered a disaster, would become a tourist attraction.
After making arrangements, he started to work. Qin Shiou took Nelson and Iverson onto a boat, put on the seine net and went into the water.
The purse seine is a kind of net gear for encircling fish clusters. During operation, the net gear can be used to surround the fish school and force the fish cluster to concentrate in the net bag.
So as to wipe it all out.
This is a relatively effective traditional fishing gear, especially for dealing with pelagic fish resources in ocean lakes. It is very efficient. In the past, Newfoundland fishing grounds used this tool and method to catch cod.
Until now, purse seine fishery is still the main force of world fishery. The annual catch can account for 20%-30% of the total ocean catch, and with the improvement of fishing technology and the popularization of modern fish detection equipment, the scope of seine fishing objects continues to expand, and even the bottom of the ocean can be caught. Class up.
Nelson rowed to the center of the lake and said, "There must be a lot of fish here, how about we start here?"
Qin Shiou signaled to come casually, Iwosen took control of the fishing ground, and Nelson cooperated with Qin Shiou to start the net.
Purse seine is actually to enclose a net to catch fish. The net is a bit like a funnel with one end cut open—the funnel opens upwards, has a sac and two wings.
The so-called sac is a stress point at the bottom of the funnel. The two wings are the two sides of the fishing net. After spreading the fishing net into the lake, closing the two wings is like closing the funnel. The fish that are surrounded will be wrapped in the fishing net and cannot escape.
Fishing nets spilled. Iwosen rowed the boat fast, and Qin Shiou felt that it was almost done after a while. After giving Nelson a look, the two began to close the net.
Be careful with the net. The two wings of the fishing net are slowly closed, and then do not pull the fishing net immediately, but drive the fishing ground to the shore and drag the fishing net for a while in the lake. In this way, the edges of the net become entangled and the fish inside cannot escape.
The fishing boat docked, and at this moment, two Buick Regals drove over. They were used by the government of Bifare Town. The car was parked on the shore of the lake, and a group of middle-aged people in well-made suits came down.
Qin Shiou looked up and saw that this group of people were dressed like dogs and looked like human elites. They were obviously the officials arranged by Ottawa to check the fish disaster control work.
From the outside, these officials are no different from those who inspect the work everywhere in China, but they are much thinner, and the bloated or beer belly people do not appear.
The same thing is that these officials and lords are accompanied by a TV interview team. A hostess wearing an OL professional suit said a few words to the camera, and then interviewed these officials and the mayor of Hamre.
Hamley is a veteran in this field, and he said a few words in a concise manner, nothing more than how important Shenbao Lake is to the town, how harmful the Asian carp is to Shenbao Lake, and how we can manage it after receiving financial support from Congress Asian carp disaster.
They were all useless clichés, Qin Shiou lost interest after hearing a few sentences, and started pulling fishing nets wholeheartedly.
Both he and Iverson had brute strength, and Nelson was responsible for locking the two wings of the fishing net, so that as the fishing net was dragged up, the big Asian carp that were alive and kicking were pulled to the shore.
The trawl nets used this time are all five centimeters in diameter, and only large fish will be caught. Some small local fish can easily escape even if they are surrounded by fishing nets.
Qin Shiou caught a lot of Asian carp in this net, and it seemed that there were more than twenty of them, each of which was seventy to eighty centimeters long, with a great visual impact.
In this way, he became a benchmark, and Hamle brought a reporter from the TV station to him. The female reporter first asked Nelson, who shrugged, pointed at Qin Shiou and said, "If you have any questions, please ask us. I am a wage earner." .”
The female reporter didn't expect Qin Shiou, a Chinese, to be the boss here, so she quickly turned around to cover up her embarrassment, and asked him, "Sir, did you catch this net of fish?"
Qin Shiou thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? I'm grabbing the fishing net right in front of your eyes, who did it if I wasn't fishing?
He coughed and said calmly, "I didn't catch it."
The female reporter was taken aback, and Qin Shiou added: "Our team caught it. Look at the two friends around me. They put in more energy than me."
After hearing this, the female reporter smiled and said, "You guys are such an excellent team, so how long did it take you to catch these fish?"
Alright, now that the topic is coming, Qin Shiou said, "Oh, it didn't take long, about twenty to twenty-five minutes."
It took more than 20 minutes to catch so many Asian carp, and his fishing boat is still very efficient. Normally, it takes half an hour to catch so many fish, which is why seine fishing is so important. Reasons why the management of the Asian carp disaster is ineffective.
With this efficiency, it is estimated that if you catch a hundred fish, the fish parents and mothers in the lake can give birth to a thousand small fish, and the seine fishing method is ineffective for small fish.
In other words, this is a way of working that treats the symptoms but not the root cause. (to be continued)
