Golden Fishing Village

Sole is a bottom sea fish, mainly produced in the Yellow and Bohai Sea areas, and is a typical endemic fish.

This kind of fish has very weak reproductive capacity, so it is rare and valuable. The price has remained high no matter what era in history.

Now with the popularization of artificial breeding, the price of sole has dropped a lot. The price of fish on the market is only three to four hundred yuan per kilogram.

The word ‘meaning’ is correct. Before the popularization of artificial breeding, the price of sole was more expensive than lobster and sea crab!

Although the process of artificial breeding has been completed, the price of sole is still quite high because the cost of breeding is very high. It is a deep-sea fish, and it is difficult to survive in artificial breeding. It was not until 1997 that the problem of artificial breeding of tongue sole was overcome.

During the artificial breeding process, sole fish has a growth period of 18 months and has very high temperature and environmental requirements. The breeding area must maintain a constant temperature of 22°C and the pool must be highly clean.

In addition, they are very picky about food. The feed is made from small fish caught from the sea. The feed cost for a medium-sized farmer to raise adult fish is about 7,000 yuan a day!

From this point of view, compared with such high breeding costs, three to four hundred yuan per kilogram is indeed not expensive.

Ao Muyang plans to open a fishery in the future. If he can breed this batch of soles, he can use soles and turbot as the trump cards of the fishery, plus stars such as red armor red and large yellow croaker, he will not have to worry about him. The fishing ground cannot become famous!

In particular, he has a golden elixir. The golden drops in the golden elixir can enhance their vitality when fed to fish, shrimps and crabs, making them more energetic and fertile, and can expand the population of these fish in a short period of time.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to let the sole fish go.

It is not easy to encounter a school of wild sole fish, especially when there are many female fish in this school. Based on his naked eye observation, the number of female fish is no less than 80.

It is easier to distinguish between male and female sole fish. The males of this fish do not grow very big, but the females can grow larger. As long as the weight exceeds one kilogram, they are basically all female fish.

Turbot fish has similar characteristics to sole fish. The same is true for turbot fish. The male fish will slow down its growth after reaching one kilogram, while the female fish will continue to grow normally at this weight and will not slow down its growth until it reaches two kilograms. speed.

He noted the location of the fish school and then popped a gold droplet for the sole fish.

The school of fish quietly living on the bottom of the sea finally became turbulent. They swung their bodies and floated, opening their mouths as flat as their bodies to swallow the scattered small golden dots.

Ao Muyang floated in the water and looked down at them. After eating the small golden dots, sole fish of all sizes returned to the bottom of the sea and continued to lie down.

This is why he dared to let the fish survive without fishing. Sole fish, like turbot, are lazy by nature. Once they choose a place with abundant food, they will stay here and will not change their environment easily.

In addition, because they like to live close to the bottom of the sea, unless they are discovered by chance, they will not be caught even if there are fishing boats on the sea.

In short, if there are no accidents, this fish school will stay here forever. When he builds a fishery, he will move them there.

Leaving the group of soles alone, he returned to the fishing boat and began to think.

Now that he has a fishing boat, he has to plan for the next step. His next step is to open a fishing farm. No matter how big or small, he needs to start it first!

The previous schools of large yellow croakers, red crabs, turbot, and lobsters, as well as the current sole fish, are all very valuable seafood. The gathering of these seafood is a driving force. The force pushed him to move forward quickly to build a fishery.

Dalongtou circled around the sea, went out to sea in the morning and returned in the afternoon. The harvest was not bad, one net of mackerel and one net of hairtail, at least I earned back the gas and meal money.

Ao Daguo and other old people who were the first to follow Ao Muyang were not satisfied with the harvest: "Longtou, our fishing boat is so big, we don't need to return on the same day, there is enough fuel and fresh water, let's go to the deep sea for a walk!"

Ao Mudong, who smelled of alcohol next to him, said, "This can't be done. We have forty or fifty people on board. How many people can the cabin accommodate?"

"There are more than twenty beds," Ao Mubing continued. "If two people squeeze in, everyone can sleep. If we can't sleep, we sleep on the floor."

Ao Muyang smiled and waved his hand and said: "On the way back, we just came out to warm up today. The ship is ours. We will go to the distant sea in the future. Aren't there plenty of opportunities?"

Ao Daguo smacked his lips and said: "The catch is too little, not enough."

Ao Qianpan said: "Yes, Dragon Head, we have gained too little this time. Are you not disappointed? Are you so willing?"

Ao Muyang was naturally willing. Why was he disappointed? This time he went out to sea and discovered a school of sole fish. If he had caught all the sole fish at that time, it would have been worth at least one hundred thousand yuan!

At any rate, we have harvested two nets. Considering the current ocean fish conditions, it is good to have no empty nets. Even if it is a large fishing boat, it is easy for a large fishing boat to just go out for a day and then return.

After going to the town dock to handle two nets of fish, Ao Daguo steered the boat in a circle around the town.

His purpose was naturally to show off, but Ao Muyang ignored him. Longtou Village had not bought a big boat in many years, and could only envy other fishing villages that had bought new boats one after another.

For fishermen, walking at night in brocade clothes is not something they can do.

This trip to sea is just a trial voyage. The next time we go to sea, we will have to do it for real.

Ao Daguo posted his fishing boat on the Hongyang Fisherman Forum for sale. He will be the captain of the Big Dragon Head in the future. Ao Muyang gave him a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, plus a commission on the catch, so he no longer needs his small boat.

In addition, he gathered 15 people from the village in the first batch. Ao Mupeng, Ao Mudong and others were all called on to the fishing boat. The tonnage of the Big Dragon Head was here, and it would be difficult to play with fewer people.

He originally wanted to call Ao Fugui, but Ao Fugui was not interested in going out to sea to fish. His interest was to drive a boat for short-distance shipping.

Ao Daguo helped him choose people. Ao Muyang had something to do, so he didn't rush to go out to sea after returning to the village.

He first invited Lu Zhizi to his house to work for a long time, and then drew a blueprint. The next day, he went to the county to find a furniture factory and asked the furniture factory to build something for him according to the blueprint.

The carpenter at the furniture factory looked at the blueprint with a puzzled look on his face: "What is this thing you are going to make? It's so big and messy, how to make it?"

Ao Muyang pointed at the blueprint and said: "Isn't it drawn in great detail? Make me a small bed with a curved bottom, a seat on top, and the arc below. Leave holes in these places. The holes only need to be the size of my fist."

The carpenter was still puzzled: "Then what is this?"

Ao Muyang smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry about it, it's not illegal anyway."
