space fisherman

Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "Don't look at me like that. I didn't say I came here to fish. I came here to catch snow crabs."

"Is there snow crab here? Snow crab is very expensive." Ma Hua blurted out what he was thinking.

"Nonsense, why did I call you here? Are you blowing the cold wind?" Ye Yuan gave Ma Hua a white look.

All the crew members cheered up when they heard that there were snow crabs here. You must know that Ye Yuan had said that the amount of fish caught was directly linked to their bonuses. They were all going to sea anyway, wouldn't it be nice for him to catch more valuable seafood?

After resting for two hours, Yu Hongbo began to organize the sailors to put away the crab pots without Ye Yuan's instructions.

Ye Yuan nodded secretly, feeling deeply satisfied with this boatswain.

Of the crab pots that were thrown in, one was quickly fished out.

"Damn it, there are so many crabs here." Ma Hua exclaimed.

Ye Yuan smiled faintly: "There is a group of crabs down there, and the location where we put the crab pots is better."

Ma Hua asked: "Boss, how did you know there would be crabs here?" Ma Hua had been holding this question in his mind for a long time.

Yu Hongbo stood behind Ma Hua and slapped him directly on the back of the head.

"How can there be so many whys? You have a hundred thousand whys?"

Then he whispered in Ma Hua's ear:

"Ask what you should ask and don't ask what you shouldn't."

Yu Hongbo thought his voice was very small, but it could not escape Ye Yuan's perception. Now Ye Yuan's perception was that it was several meters away on the sea.

Ye Yuan smiled and explained:

"It's nothing. This is what I learned from an expert. It is through the direction of some ocean currents and the temperature of the sea water... you can know the fish caught underwater. You must keep this secret for me, otherwise we will be behind the fishing boat in the future.

I don’t know how many ships I have to follow.”

Ye Yuan didn't feel blushing at all when he told lies.

There will be a lot of these things when fishing in the future. It is important for me to find an excuse. Anyway, believe it or not, it is up to them. I have already explained it.

Yu Hongbo saw everyone's hands stopped and reminded loudly: "Hurry up and get all the crabs in. Do you still want to blow the sea breeze outside?"

Everyone heard Yu Hongbo's reminder and sped up their movements.

Crab pots were fished out from the sea one by one, and there were many large snow crabs in each crab pot.

Ye Yuan walked to the crab pot, picked out a few larger female crabs with seeds, turned around and left, leaving a message before leaving.

"The female crabs are all thrown into the sea, and the male crabs are frozen and preserved."

Just go back to your room.

It's not that Ye Yuan looks down on female crabs, but it's because there is a big difference in body size between female and male snow crabs. Generally, male crabs are twice the size of female crabs. Furthermore, female crabs have crab roe in their bodies, so they should be put back together.

, can better protect the ecological balance.

Ye Yuan returned to the room and put all the ultimate female crabs he had picked out into the space. This was also one of the purposes of Ye Yuan coming here. He planned to build his space fishery into a miniature ocean, which needed a variety of treasures.

marine life.

Walking out of the room, the crew were busy on the deck. Every time they fished out crab pots, they would get a big harvest. The crabs here were very large. After cleaning the net crab pots, they continued to hang bait in the crab pots, and they still came back.

nautical miles.

Each crab pot has two entrances, where Wan Yuan can get out if he gets stuck in the crab pot, but this rarely happens.

This is because of the nature of crabs. Crabs are very greedy creatures. As long as the bait in the crab pot is not eaten up, they will not leave. Secondly, crabs are aggressive. If a crab wants to crawl out at the exit

, there will be multiple crabs grabbing it to prevent it from escaping, or several crabs will be crowded together and no one can get out.

Ye Yuan called Gong Hongzhuang and asked him to go to the crab pot to pick some snow crabs for dinner.

Gong Hongzhuang hesitated and stood still.

Ye Yuan glanced at him in surprise, "Don't tell me you can't make snow crab?"

Gong Hongzhuang patted his chest and said, "How is that possible? The navy chef doesn't know how to cook seafood. What do you think, boss?"

"Then why don't you go?"

Gong Hongzhuang said sheepishly: "Snow crab is so expensive, it's a waste for us to eat it."

Ye Yuan glared at Gong Hongzhuang angrily.

"We are all brothers. We eat whatever we catch. Nothing is wasted. Everyone has worked hard today. Make a few more to improve the food. Go ahead and stop inking."

After hearing Ye Yuan's words, Gong Hongzhuang looked at Ye Yuan gratefully, and then happily went to pick up snow crabs.

Salvage crab pots, clean crab pots, hang bait, and release crab pots.

The crew repeated the same work.

A few hours later, a lot of snow crabs had been caught. Ye Yuan stopped everyone's work. These were real people, not robots like before. Ye Yuan didn't want to tire out a few of them the first time he went to sea.

Everyone entered the canteen together, where Gong Hongzhuang was skillfully cooking snow crab.

I saw Gong Hongzhuang cutting part of the snow crab into pieces and putting them in cold water.

In addition, steam some snow crabs in a steamer.

About five minutes later, Gong Hongzhuang took out the snow crabs from the cold water. After being soaked in cold water, the snow crab meat would turn into strands, like pine needles. This is why snow crabs are also called pine leaf crabs.

The crew members were already hungry, and everyone flocked over to taste these delicious snow crabs.

Everyone quickly finished all the snow crabs made by Gong Hongzhuang, and Ye Yuan told everyone to have a good rest tonight.

As the boatswain, Yu Hongbo fed back some of the crew's opinions to Ye Yuan. Everyone went to sea to make money.

After finding such a swarm of snow crabs, the crew members all believed that fishing should continue. Their opinion was that everyone should take turns to rest at night, but fishing should not stop.

Ye Yuan glanced at several crew members and patted Yu Hongbo on the shoulder:

"I can understand everyone's mood. Fishing at night is very dangerous. After all, placing crab pots is inherently dangerous, and the risk is even greater at night."

"Don't think about it, everyone. There are many opportunities. Don't rush. Let's all have a good rest. Maybe we will meet better seafood tomorrow."

"Since you are crew members on my ship, I have the responsibility to bring you back safely and don't take your own lives for granted."

Ye Yuan did not agree to the crew's proposal to operate at night.

...

There was no talking all night. When the sun rose on the sea level, the crew members who had been tired all day yesterday gradually walked out of the cabin. After a night's rest, everyone was in good spirits and no one felt unwell.

After Ye Yuan got up, as soon as he walked to the deck, he saw the crew members talking about something near the fence toward the sea. Ye Yuan walked over and looked in the direction of the discussion, and saw spotted seals floating on the sea.

Harbor seals are marine mammals that live on the coasts and coasts of temperate and cold temperate zones.

It lives in the northwest Pacific Ocean of the northern hemisphere, mainly distributed in the Chukchi Sea, Bering Sea, Sea of ​​Okhotsk, Sea of ​​Japan, Bohai Sea of ​​China, and northern Yellow Sea.

They have migratory breeding habits and are carnivores, their food mainly being fish and cephalopods.

Harbor seals are the only pinnipeds that can breed in China's waters. They are China's first-class protected animals.
