space fisherman

When the fish fell on the deck, the real shock had just begun.

There were not many fish caught in this net, only about 100, but the smallest of these fish was 60-70cm, but most of them were around 1.5m.

"Boss, are these dragons?"

Yu Hongbo couldn't believe it. He couldn't even imagine that there were so many dragons.

Ye Yuan nodded: "Yes, it's Long Zhe."

Dragon grouper is the fishermen’s name. The real names of this fish are: gentian grouper, saddle-banded grouper, spearhead grouper, etc. It is the largest fish among grouper fish.

Rich in nutrients, tender meat, delicious and excellent in taste, it is a highly economical edible fish or used for aquarium display.

The price of gentian grouper is about 60 to 80 yuan per pound, and it can grow to a maximum length of about 2.7 meters and a weight of 440 kilograms.

They usually live in caves or crevices along coral reefs and feed on several species of marine life such as small sharks and small turtles.

It is yellow when young, with three irregular black spots on its body. As the fish grows, white or yellow spots will begin to appear within the black spots. Adult fish have black spots on their fins.

The skin colloid of Gentian grouper plays an important role in enhancing the complete growth of epithelial tissue and promoting the synthesis of collagen cells. It is known as the fish for beauty and skin care, and is especially suitable for pregnant women.

Because they prey on fish, shrimp, and crabs, they will ingest shrimp at the same time. The astaxanthin contained in crabs becomes a food rich in astaxanthin for humans.

It is also a low-fat, high-protein, high-quality edible fish, rich in protein, vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron and other nutrients.

"Boss, can we get 1 million from this network?" Ma Hua asked from the side.

Ye Yuan looked at him with a smile, "What do you think?"

Ma Hua shook his head, "I don't know, but I think there should be one, right?"

"Okay, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Work hard and you will get the bonus."

Ye Yuan didn't want to continue talking. It wasn't that Ye Yuan didn't want to tell Ma Hua, but because he was afraid of scaring him by telling him.

According to Ye Yuan's calculation, most of the dragons here are 1.5 meters long, and there are a few that are over 2 meters long.

Calculating based on the minimum weight of each fish being 150 kilograms, that is, the price of one fish is 24,000, so 100 fish is 2.4 million. This is Ye Yuan's most conservative calculation. If it really reaches the shore, the price may not be what it is.

"Put the largest ones into the live water tank"

Ye Yuan did not chat with Ma Hua, but shouted loudly.

Several crew members held the 2.1-meter-long giant dragon and put it into the live water tank on the ship.

Then he put in a few more living dragons.

Seeing that several large dragon worms had been safely put into the living water warehouse, Ye Yuan was relieved. He did not intend to sell these dragon worms as food fish.

Instead, I plan to take it to an ornamental fish base to see if it can be sold to some aquariums. That would maximize profits.

Seeing the crew members sorting the catch on the deck, Ye Yuan did not go over to help, but went back to his hammock to rest alone.

Soon the fish were sorted, and because the sky was getting dark, the fishing boats stopped fishing.

In the next three days, Ye Yuan directed the net tow once a day, and the rest of the time was spent by Hong Bo leading the crew to work.

Although it is done once a day, a lot of seafood can be caught. Every time Ye Yuan nets, there are either precious seafood or a large number of commercial fish.

This made the crew members on the ship extremely happy. If they continue at this pace, when they return to Yuwan Island, they believe that the bonuses from this trip to sea will definitely satisfy them.

“Are you still fishing today?”

Yu Hongbo asked Ye Yuan that they had just harvested a large net of sturgeon.

Ye Yuan shook his head:

"No, let's take a rest before fishing. There are not many sturgeon resources in this area anymore. Even if we fish, we have to change places. Lao Yu remembers a saying, that is, open the net to one side."

Looking at the disappointed expressions of the crew members, Ye Yuan could understand, but this did not change his mind.

"Don't look like this. I'll find a place with shallow water later and give you a chance to go into the sea."

When the crew members heard that they could dive, they all cheered up. They knew that as long as they could dive, they would have some extra income.

The reason why Ye Yuan said this was that he discovered a large group of stonefish moving not far from the fishing boat.

Ye Yuan had also caught this kind of fish in China's territorial waters before with his robot crew, but the number last time was much less than this time.

Soon the fishing boat arrived at the sea area where the stone fish was located, and the crew began to put on diving equipment.

Yu Hongbo lowered the gangway to make it easier for the crew to get on and off the boat, while Ding Yi temporarily stopped the fishing boat.

Ye Yuan was a little afraid that the crew would be stung by the stings on the stone fish, so he and the crew were frightened to the bottom of the sea.

The crew members who went down to the bottom of the sea were not attracted by the scenery here. Although the scenery here was not there, for these crew members who often dived into the sea, catching seafood was more important.

The crew members dispersed and explored in different directions around them. Ye Yuan saw that the person swimming towards the stone fish was none other than Ma Hua, the one who made Ye Yuan most uneasy among all the crew members.

Ye Yuan thought to himself, it's good that he came down, otherwise something might have happened to Ma Hua.

If it were anyone else, Ye Yuan wouldn't think so, but if it were Ma Hua who discovered the stone fish, he would probably be stung by the poisonous stinger.

Ye Yuan did not remind Ma Hua, but followed him from a distance, wanting to see what Ma Hua would do after seeing the stone fish.

Ma Hua didn't notice Ye Yuan in the distance, and swam straight ahead of him. When he passed a seabed coral, he found a sea crab weighing half a kilogram, huddled in a crack in the stone.

After Ma Hua saw it, he reached out with one hand, trying to catch the big crab in the crevices of the rocks.

Who knew that this sea crab was not someone who was easily bullied. When he saw Ma Hua's outstretched hand, he not only did not run away, but instead raised his big claw and pinched Ma Hua's fingers.

Ma Hua was so frightened by the sea crab's reaction that he quickly retracted his outstretched hand.

Looking at the sea crab with its teeth and claws dancing, Ma Hua could only obediently take off an extended pair of tweezers from his waist.

These tweezers for the crew were specially bought by Ye Yuan from a certain treasure.

Their appearance is very similar to the common scissors in our homes, but they are much longer than normal scissors.

The top part, which was originally supposed to be sharp, was made into a zigzag shape, which is more conducive for the crew to catch seafood like sea crabs and sea urchins on the seabed that are difficult to catch directly by hand.

Ma Hua used the tweezers in his hand to easily put the still arrogant sea crab into the net bag.

After the crab was put into the net bag, the guy tapped the shell of the crab with tweezers, which made Ye Yuan laugh and cry.
