space fisherman

The reason why Ye Yuan doesn't like eating yellow pollock is because its meat is thicker and has a bit of a grassy smell.

This also results in yellow pollock being a relatively low-priced fish in the seafood markets of Blue Star countries.

At first, the crew was very happy to catch so many pollacks, but when Ye Yuan told them the price of the fish, everyone became discouraged.

After eating for two days, all the crew members had enough. Since the fish was very cheap, Ye Yuan felt that it took up some space in the cold storage.

Finally, Bao Chunyu from Northeast China came up with a solution.

These yellow thread pollocks are made into dried pollack, which is not only easier to store, but also does not take up space in the cold storage.

Making dried pollack is very simple, just take out the internal organs and throw them away (no one eats them on the boat), and then hang them on the boat to dry.

The dried pollack is very chewy and is a great dish to go with drinks.

Because three consecutive nets caught a lot of yellow pollock, the crew caught a boat full of them.

Now the entire "Royal Water" is filled with fishy smell, but this is not a big deal to the crew members who fish all year round.

Ye Yuan was not in the mood to continue blowing the sea breeze on the deck, because what hit him was no longer refreshing, but full of fishy smell.

After several days of sailing, the fishing boat has arrived in the Pacific Ocean. Because the weather has been good recently, the dried pollack on the boat no longer has the same smell as before.

After smelling the fishy smell for several days, Ye Yuan really regretted listening to Bao Chunyu's suggestion. It would be better to just return these pollacks back to the sea.

That day, Ye Yuan was lying in his hammock on the deck when he heard Ma Hua's startled voice behind him.

"Boss! Look! There are so many seabirds!"

Ye Yuan heard Ma Hua's call, turned around and looked over, and saw thousands of seabirds hunting around the sea in the distance.

Ye Yuan was also shocked by the scene in front of him. Ye Yuan had also seen this phenomenon in books, but when he actually witnessed it, the scene was still very shocking.

Seabirds are densely packed on the sea surface. From time to time, seabirds swoop towards the sea. When each swooping seabird flies back into the sky again, it will have a small fish in its mouth.

You don't need to look at Ye Yuan to know that there must be a large school of fish ahead, otherwise there wouldn't be so many seabirds here.

Ye Yuan heard the old man in the village say that if you can't find fish schools in the sea, then look for seabirds on the sea. Wherever there are seabirds, there will be fish.

Ye Yuan directly sensed the release. He wanted to know how big a school of fish was that could bring so many seabirds here.

When Ye Yuan's perception saw the situation under the sea, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene he saw.

On the seabed not far in front of the "Restoring Water", a large school of fish is gathering. The fish school is mainly composed of sardines.

The fish shoal is gathering like a whirlwind on the bottom of the sea. It is difficult to describe this fish shoal in terms of quantity. They are all densely packed with sardines. And just below this huge sardine school, there are densely packed tuna. Seeing this, Ye Yuan suddenly

Understood.

These sardines were chased to the surface by the tuna, and the sardines were still gathering.

It can be said that this sardine school is now being attacked from both sides. Thousands of seabirds are hunting them above, while densely packed tuna are hunting them below.

Even so, the sardine population has not seen a decrease, which is enough to illustrate how amazing this sardine population is.

Ye Yuan, who originally wanted to order a trawl, suddenly stopped. He remembered a better way to catch tuna than a trawl, and that was fishing.

Yiben Diao is a foreign word from the Japanese country, which refers to the fishing method using only a single fishing rod and a single hook, which is extended to the meaning of "killing them one by one".

First of all, those who fish need to catch some bait fish (usually sardines, mackerel and herring) and put them in the boat for temporary storage.

Then the experienced captain will judge the general direction of the tuna and bonito schools based on the activities of seabirds (the presence of seabirds gathering indicates that there may be tuna schools chasing the fish) and the fish finder.

After the fishing boat arrives in the corresponding sea area, it starts fishing.

The crew will first throw a small amount of sardine bait to attract bonito and tuna schools, attracting them to the boat.

At the same time, a large amount of seawater will be pumped and thrown to the sea surface. The purpose of this is to create the illusion of "sardines gathering together" and the seawater "boiling".

This will definitely trigger the excitement point of bonito and tuna's hunting appetite, and the schools of bonito and tuna will be extremely excited.

Once the tuna or bonito gather, the fishermen on the boat quickly throw the hook into the sea!

Tuna preys quickly, and they quickly bite the hook without being able to tell whether it is a sardine or a fish hook. Once the tuna bites the hook, the fisherman quickly pulls the fish up and relies on inertia to throw the fish to the deck behind him.

Yiben fishing uses a special fishhook. The fishhook is like an L shape, not the commonly used U shape.

Moreover, the hook handle is very heavy. The "L" shaped fishhook has no barbs, so when the fisherman relies on inertia to throw the fish to the highest point, it will easily fall off the hook and fall to the deck.

You can catch the next fish immediately.

Because the length of time when tuna gather is determined by the number of sardines, fishermen must use all their strength and go all out to fish.

The main reason why Ye Yuan wanted to use a fishing net instead of a trawl was because of the special breathing method of tuna.

Tuna need to swim back and forth forever so that the water hits the gills to obtain fresh oxygen. If trawling is used to catch fish, the tuna will be unable to continue swimming and will soon suffocate to death.

Moreover, the fish is greatly stimulated during the fishing process, so the color and freshness of the fish meat decrease quickly.

The bonito and tuna caught in Ippon fishing are of good quality and have a bright body surface.

At the same time, this fishing method has a very single target and is very friendly to marine resources. The disadvantage is that fishing is very expensive and people with weak waists cannot engage in this work.

Ye Yuan had already prepared all the hooks and rods needed for fishing, but because he had not encountered any large tuna schools these few times he went out to sea, he never took them out.

This opportunity is very good. Normally, you have to create the illusion of sardine schools to attract tuna. However, if you do this, the time for the tuna schools to gather around the fishing boat is limited, and you won't be able to catch many tuna.

But this time Ye Yuan and the others were different. They were real. They encountered a super-large school of sardines. What Ye Yuan was worried about now was not how long the tuna stayed around the boat, but how long the crew could hold on.

Ye Yuan called three crew members, and several of them came to the tool cabin and took 11 fishing rods specially used for fishing. They came to the deck and each crew member had a fishing rod. At first, many crew members did not know why Ye Yuan

Give them fishing rods.
