space fisherman

Ye Yuan found a huge meat insect on the bottom of the sea.

At first he thought he had seen it wrong, but after getting close to the "meat worm" and looking at it carefully for a while, he finally recognized the origin of the "meat worm".

The "meat bug" he saw was a sea cucumber.

The reason why Ye Yuan didn't notice it at first was because the length of this batch of sea cucumbers was a bit big.

Each sea cucumber here is more than 30cm long, and the overall shape is cylindrical, with thinner sides at the head and tail.

There are small tentacles on both sides of the sea cucumber, and there are spines with tube legs on the back. Observing this, Ye Yuan already knew the species of this sea cucumber. This is the famous Ke Cucumber, also called Wugou Sea Cucumber.

This kind of sea cucumber is a relatively common sea cucumber in the South China Sea, but the size of these sea cucumbers discovered now exceeds Ye Yuan's knowledge.

Ye Yuan never expected that such a big sea cucumber could be found here.

There are a lot of sea cucumbers on the market now, and sea cucumbers are not expensive in coastal areas, but they are all farmed sea cucumbers.

Real wild sea cucumbers are very rare in seafood markets, and the price is ridiculously expensive.

Take sea cucumbers as an example. If they are artificially cultured, the price of dried sea cucumbers is generally around 3,500-4,500 per pound.

If it is fresh ginseng, the price per pound is about 180 yuan.

It can be said that this price is not expensive.

If it is wild, then the price is not calculated like this.

The price of a pound of fresh wild ginseng is more than 2,500. This is still the price at the seaside. If it is in the inland area, the price is really hard to say.

There are many coral reefs on this seabed, and the seaweed is very luxuriant. After a quick glance, there are also a lot of kelp.

Ye Yuan felt that after searching casually, he found seven or eight large ginsengs of this size. This number was quite considerable.

After confirming these, Ye Yuan decided to fish. At this position, even if he missed these good products.

Then they probably won't be able to hold on for long, after all, fishing boats often pass by here.

It was impossible for Ye Yuan to directly tell the crew that there were sea cucumbers down here. That would be too strange.

To say that fishermen can tell the direction of fish schools based on experience is barely fair.

But when you stand on a boat, you can tell after a few glances that there are sea cucumbers on the bottom of the sea? Are you kidding, do you really think your eyes are clairvoyant?

So Ye Yuan must find a reasonable excuse.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuan first came to the cockpit and told Ding that the fishing boat should hear the area he designated.

Seeing that the fishing boat had gradually slowed down, he walked back to the deck.

When the crew members discovered that the fishing boat was preparing to stop, they knew that Ye Yuan must have something to do. They all looked in the direction in which Ye Yuan was walking, waiting for further instructions from their boss.

Ye Yuan first pretended to look at the weather conditions on the sea, and then said to the crew:

"The conditions here are good and it is very suitable for diving. I will go down and take a look first. If there is any good stuff here, let's go for it."

After saying that, Ye Yuan dived directly into the sea, leaving a group of crew members staring blankly on the deck in a daze.

After Ye Yuan entered the sea, he swam directly to the bottom of the sea. The depth here was only 25-30 meters, which was no problem for his crew.

Now Ye Yuan wanted to see exactly how many species of ginseng were in this coral reef.

He swam around the coral reef twice.

It can be determined that the yield of gram ginseng here fully meets the fishing conditions.

He no longer hesitated, after all, it had been a long time since he came down.

Just when Ye Yuan was about to return to the sea and ask his crew to come down to harvest these sea cucumbers, suddenly his perception habitually scanned a coral reef not far from him.

It didn't matter if he swept it. A sea cucumber that was 60cm long and could be called an emperor appeared in his mind.

This discovery immediately stopped Ye Yuan, who was about to go back, and he hurriedly swam near the giant sea cucumber.

He bent his five fingers and grasped the sea cucumber's back. Before he could be happy, a huge force came from his hand.

The sea cucumber struggled fiercely and almost broke free from his hand.

Ye Yuan didn't have time to think too much, and instantly sent this giant sea cucumber into space.

Just kidding, if such a big sea cucumber really slipped out of his hands, Ye Yuanzhen would be embarrassed to see others.

After putting away this sea cucumber, Ye Yuan did not leave immediately. Since there can be such a big one here, can't there be other sea cucumbers?

You know, in the market, the most common ones are around 10cm, and the slightly larger ones are 20cm.

As for those above 30 cm, they generally can only grow so big in the wild environment. As for the 60cm one that Ye Yuan caught just now, Ye Yuan has never heard of it.

Because he accidentally discovered this giant sea cucumber, Ye Yuan searched for it in this sea area for a long time.

It can be said that hard work paid off. After repeated confirmation by Ye Yuan, two sea cucumbers, one 55cm and one 50cm in size, were finally found.

I directly brought these two sea cucumbers into the space, then I grabbed a few 30cm sea cucumbers and swam towards the fishing boat.

Back on the boat, Ma Hua graciously handed over a dry towel.

After Ye Yuan smoothed his hair, he pointed at the sea and said:

"Everyone can change into a diving suit, there are a lot of gramps under there.

Laoyu, please arrange some manpower, and we can take turns fishing for sea cucumbers."

As he said this, he showed the gram ginseng he had brought to the crew.

As soon as they heard that there were sea cucumbers under the sea, the crew immediately became energetic.

Yu Hongbo immediately started arranging manpower. Not counting Ye Yuan, there were 11 people on the boat. Ding Yi was the sailor and could hardly launch the boat.

Then there were only 10 people left, so Yu Hongbo organized 2 classes of 5 people in each class.

Since it is a shift system, Yu Hongbo also arranged a diving task for himself this time.

Usually he rarely has the opportunity to go to sea, but this time he would not miss such a good opportunity.

"Sea cucumbers like to stay in places with fast currents because flowing water brings a lot of plankton.

They live by passively preying on these plankton, so everyone must be careful when going down there.”

Ye Yuan was afraid that the crew members would not know the living habits of sea cucumbers, so at the stall where they were changing into diving suits, he temporarily gave them some knowledge and tips on fishing sea cucumbers.

Going to the sea this time is different from the previous ones. Ye Yuan just went down to take a look, and there is an undercurrent of the ocean below.

In order to prevent the crew from being in danger, he specially tied a safety rope to each crew member's belt buckle, and the other end of the safety rope was fixed to the hull.

In this way, there is a guarantee for the crew members who go to sea, but it also restricts their scope of activities.

Because of the danger, Ye Yuan could not swim very far by himself as usual, so this time Ye Yuan had to go into the sea with the crew to catch sea cucumbers.
