space fisherman

The crew members were puzzled, but they still followed Ye Yuan's order.

Soon a huge fish bag left the water with the fishing net.

"Let me go, boss, you are getting more and more amazing. When we go to sea from now on, we will definitely put a photo of you on our fishing boat."

Ma Hua looked at a big bag of fish and muttered stupidly.

Ye Yuan didn't pay attention to what this guy said, but shouted to the crew member who was still standing on the deck in a daze:

"Hurry up. There is a huge school of fish here. Let's set the net again immediately."

The crew members were all awakened by Ye Yuan's words.

Soon the bottom line was untied, and a large bag of fish was scattered on the deck.

The crewmen hurriedly handled the fishing nets, and then threw the fishing nets into the water again regardless of the fish on the deck.

Two crew members were left to continue looking at the fishing net, while all the remaining crew members squatted on the deck and began sorting the catch.

Even Wang Husheng, who was staying in the cockpit, ran out of the cockpit and joined the sorting process.

Looking at a group of fish that looked very similar to tuna on the deck, Ye Yuan asked Ma Hua while sorting the catch.

"You kid usually talks a lot, why are you talking about this?"

Hearing his boss ask him this question, Ma Hua felt like he was good again.

While he was busy with the work in his hands, he said proudly:

"Tch! I don't know who I am as a fisherman."

Ye Yuan freed up a hand and slapped Ma Hua on the back of the head.

"Just say it when I ask you to. What's the point?"

Ma Hua became more honest after being slapped by Ye Yuan.

He said with a bitter look on his face:

"Boss, it's a bit difficult for you to take the test, but how can a bonito fisherman not know this?"

"You know I'm testing you, but you still haven't told me everything?"

Ye Yuan replied angrily.

"Uh-huh!"

Ma Hua raised his voice.

"Other name of bonito: Bonito, family Perciformes, family Tuna.

Basically distributed in temperate to tropical areas, mainly in the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean.

The body of bonito is spindle-shaped, with a nearly round cross-section, a short snout, a pointed front end, and two dorsal fins.

The second dorsal fin and anal fin are both small and low, with 7 to 8 small detached fins at the rear.

The caudal fin is crescent-shaped; the dorsal side of the body is blue-black, and the abdomen is silvery white.

There are 4 to 6 obvious black longitudinal bands on the ventral side.

It is an ocean bottom fish that swims quickly and often swarms in the lower layers, feeding on fish, crustaceans and molluscs."

"That's all?"

Ye Yuan glanced at Ma Hua and asked unsatisfied.

"That's all, isn't this all introduced?"

Ma Hua looked at Ye Yuan with some confusion.

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at this guy. Although what Ma Hua said was basically correct, these were only found on Du Niang.

Therefore, Ye Yuan was not particularly satisfied with Ma Hua's answer, so he added:

"What you said is very basic.

But we as fishermen need to know more. This will be more beneficial for you to go to sea independently in the future.

Like bonito, they like to follow whales, and they and whales will form a symbiotic relationship in a tacit understanding.

They will eat some of the larger food in the water, leaving some smaller ones for the whales to swallow.

The whale will protect the bonito from being eaten by larger fish."

"No? Why didn't I know?"

Ma Hua had an expression like "I never went to school, please don't lie to me."

Ye Yuan glared at this guy angrily, complaining that he interrupted him.

“Bonito will do anything to eat it, so what’s so strange about living in symbiosis with whales?

Just because of their greedy nature, some sea fishing enthusiasts also like to catch this kind of fish.

But one thing about this kind of fish is that they don’t eat dead bait. As long as it’s some live bait, it’s easy to catch them.”

Through Ye Yuan's explanation, the crew members also have some understanding of bonito.

“Boss, this fish is quite big!”

You Zhiyong picked up an 80cm bonito in front of him and said.

Ye Yuan looked at the fish in You Zhiyong's hand and shook his head.

"The length of bonito is generally forty to fifty centimeters, and the big ones can be over one meter. Yours can be considered medium-sized."

Ye Yuan was answering You Zhiyong's question when he suddenly saw that guy Ma Hua carelessly teasing a bonito that was not dead yet with his fingers.

Ye Yuan quickly stopped him and said:

"Be careful, don't touch it!

Even though this fish has a small mouth, its teeth are very sharp. If you don't want your fingers, go ahead and see if it can bite it off for you."

When Ma Hua heard Ye Yuan's scolding, he quickly took his hand back.

Just kidding, even if he died, he wouldn't dare to use his fingers to test the sharpness of the bonito's teeth.

His action caused everyone, including Ye Yuan, to burst into laughter.

Ye Yuan stood up, clapped his hands and urged:

"Everyone, please be quick, there is still a network waiting for us!"

As the crew was busy, the bonito on the deck was soon sent to the freezer.

…

The sea breeze was gentle, and the Royal Water sailed smoothly on the Bering Sea.

"Lao Ban, why do I feel that something is not right with the boss these days?"

Ma Hua stood on the deck, looked at Ye Yuan in the distance, and whispered to Yu Hongbo who was standing next to him.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Hongbo glanced at Ma Hua and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Ma Hua curled his lips.

"How has our boss ever been so diligent before?

Ever since I came out of Japan, I suddenly became more diligent.

Just say how many fish have we caught in the past few days?

If this continues, I think our ship won’t be able to load it even before we reach Wooly Bear Country.”

What Ma Hua said was true, ever since Ye Yuan decided to complete the mission.

Within a few days, the fish catch on the Royal Water had reached more than 100 tons.

According to this catching speed, there will be no room to put fish in the cabin of the Royal Water in two days. This is also something the crew has been worried about.

"Raise the net!"

While the crew members were still discussing in low voices, Ye Yuan suddenly gave another order to raise the net.

As the fish were piled on the deck like a mountain, the crew members swarmed in and began the busy sorting work again.

Yu Hongbo mentioned the crab weighing 5-6 pounds and asked uncertainly:

"Is this a snow crab?"

Ye Yuan took a look, then replied with a smile:

"Yeah! It's the more precious red-faced snow crab. It seems like we've got a good harvest from this net!"

There are actually many types of snow crabs.

The snow crabs commonly called in the market are generally gray-eyed snow crabs and red-eyed snow crabs with similar origins.

Among them, gray-eyed snow crab has the largest catch.

Gray-eyed snow crabs are found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific waters.

Specifically in the Atlantic Ocean, it is mainly distributed in the waters of Greenland and from Newfoundland to the Gulf of Maine.

The Pacific Ocean ranges from the pan-Arctic waters of Alaska, to northern Siberia and the southern Bering Sea, to the waters of Japan and Japan.

The Bear Country, the Maple Leaf Country, the M Country, the Bang Country, the Japanese Country, etc. are all major fishing countries.

Among them, the Far East of the Wooly Bear, Alaska in the M Country, and the Atlantic coast of the Maple Leaf Country are the main fishing areas.

The gray-eyed snow crab has a hard carapace that is nearly triangular in shape. The top of the carapace is brown and the belly is light yellow.
