The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded

Chapter 360 Antarctic fish

Antarctic krill is one of the goals of Chu Mingcheng's trip to Antarctica this time. As long as he gets more and puts them in the refrigerator to freeze at low temperature, he won't need to worry about the bait during the next trip.

As long as this thing is willing to get more nests, the fish gathering effect will be no worse than his cheat.

"Lolo, let's go together and take out all the shrimp pots from the box. We'll have a good time today."

"OK!"

This is a blatant robbery, and no one would dislike it.

Soon, they moved out the small number of blue plastic boxes on the ship, seven in total.

At that time, Chu Mingcheng bought ten of them, and one box could hold about fifty catties of fish.

Usually, when he catches fish that need to be frozen directly, he puts them in these boxes first, and then freezes them in the refrigerator at low temperature.

Of course, some fish that will be eaten immediately in recent days, they will put it in the refrigerator.

Afterwards, Chu Mingcheng put all the shrimp pots down, and Jiang Luoluo found a net with a denser net.

Antarctic shrimp is very small, and the mesh is relatively large.

But when she took the dipping net into the water, it was half full, and it was full of prawns, which were estimated to be about four or five centimeters.

"This is too exaggerated!" Jiang Luoluo was stunned. He never thought that he would get so much just by fishing so casually.

This also shows from the side how exaggerated the density of Antarctic krill is, it is estimated that it has reached about 10,000 to 30,000 per cubic meter. No wonder it can afford those giants in the sea.

Chu Mingcheng estimated that those blue whales would eat millions of shrimp.

No, he tried to lift up the shrimp pot that had just been put down, but it was full.

Seven boxes containing about 50 jin were filled in less than an hour.

"Hey, it's full!" Jiang Luoluo said with one hand on her hip, laughing, "It's the first time I've been out at sea so much."

As a result, Chu Mingcheng said leisurely: "This thing only costs four yuan a catty. Let's count him three hundred and fifty catties here, and it is only 1,400 yuan. It is not worth as much as a deep sea fish I occasionally fish. Fish are valuable."

Jiang Luoluo's excitement was extinguished immediately, she rolled her eyes and complained, "If you can't speak, don't talk, the job of one thousand and four an hour can be robbed!"

"The premise is that you have to calculate the cost~"

"."

Jiang Luoluo had nothing to say.

Everyone knows that fishing krill in Antarctica makes money, but the threshold for making this money is too high.

Even in China, the only well-known one is an ocean-going shrimp fishing boat. I don't know if there is Chuming City in the rest.

Three hundred and fifty catties of Antarctic krill was enough for two people, so they didn't have to be greedy to fill up the cold storage compartment.

Chu Mingcheng moved the box to the refrigerated cabin to freeze, and Jiang Luoluo washed the washing net and shrimp cage.

After moving all the Antarctic krills in, Chu Mingcheng came out to check the situation of the killer whales in the stern.

They seem to be particularly excited about arriving in Antarctica, but they are not interested in this large Antarctic shrimp.

As expected of other whales as food, these little shrimps are completely despised!

However, after Chuming City re-raised the sails and continued to advance for an hour, a piece of Antarctic krill swimming to the surface of the sea appeared again.

At the same time, one of the recipes for a killer whale, the blue whale, also appeared.

But unfortunately, this one is an adult.

It floated on the surface of the water, opened its bloody mouth wide and directly swallowed countless krills.

The body was bigger than other boats, and the five killer whales obediently followed behind the sailboat, ignoring the other party's interest at all.

They will assess the risk when preying, so in most cases, those with a small population will never go to hot adults.

But it's not just blue whales that are attracted to Antarctic krill.

No, a group of Antarctic minke whales, who hadn't noticed the danger at all, appeared.

They didn't notice the group of killer whales blocked by the sailboat at first, but they didn't notice until they got closer. Unfortunately, it was too late to turn around and run away.

The killer whales who hadn't eaten today were excited, and they immediately chased after them.

Chu Mingcheng opened his mouth to stop it, but it's okay after thinking about it.

Antarctica may be the place where they parted.

The killer whales followed them all the way from the East China Sea to the Antarctic and provided them with protection during the period.

But this group of killer whales does not belong to the other half of Blue Star's sea area, at least the route to Antarctica is part of their inheritance, and they do not belong to the Atlantic Ocean.

His sea cucumber mode is now fully capable of dealing with most situations, and can also protect himself, so Chu Mingcheng decided to let them go free.

In this case, the predation of minke whales cannot be controlled.

This is their main food in Antarctica, and the number of Antarctic minke whales is not small, and it is okay for them to eat some.

Jiang Luoluo didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't stop him, she couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Ah Cheng, you didn't allow them to eat mammals before, why don't you stop them now?"

Chu Mingcheng shook his head and told her his thoughts.

Jiang Luoluo fell silent after listening, with a somewhat reluctant expression on her face.

Along the way, she has gotten used to the presence of killer whales. In some respects, the killer whales often carry her to play in the sea, which brings her much more fun than the dogs.

But nature is their destination, and she also supports Chu Mingcheng's choice.

Then, the two of them speeded up the boat and followed.

The killer whales unhurriedly chased the dozen or so minke whales in front that were desperately trying to escape. The chase lasted for an hour.

Chu Mingcheng could clearly feel that the minke whales were a little tired, and the frequency of small water jets from their noses was obviously higher than before.

At this moment, the patient killer whales started to move, and they speeded up in vain.

Chu Mingcheng originally thought that they would directly bite the minke whales, but they didn't. Instead, they rushed over to divide the battlefield in a tacit understanding, and directly scattered the gathered minke whales.

If it doesn't work once, then twice.

Soon, the gathered minke whales were washed away, and in Chuming City, two minke whales could be seen together.

Now, the killer whales were divided into two teams.

Three of them surrounded the two minke whales, and the other two continued to drive away more minke whales to prevent them from coming to the rescue.

"It's amazing!" Jiang Luoluo exclaimed, "No wonder they can become the overlord of the ocean. This tactic is simple but very effective."

"It will be bloody next time, so don't watch it!" Seeing that the remaining two orcas had returned, Chu Mingcheng hugged her and covered her eyes.

Killer whales are very cruel to eat, and they will gnaw out gaps in the body of minke whales alive, exposing the internal organs inside.

The floating blood will dye the entire water surface red in an instant, this kind of picture is not suitable for women and children to watch.

Jiang Luoluo didn't resist, and leaned on him.

Chu Mingcheng frowned unconsciously watching the scene of the killer whale biting the minke whale. This is much more cruel than eating tuna.

As a result, after the killer whales ate one minke whale, they pushed the other intact minke whale to his boat and yelled at him.

Chu Mingcheng suddenly realized, no wonder they killed two minke whales while they could fill their stomachs with one.

"Lolo, do you want to taste the meat of the minke whale?"

"Eh? Forget it, I don't want it!" Jiang Luoluo shook her head in disgust.

Although she didn't see the picture of the killer whale eating, but a tragedy happened just now, so she couldn't be that interested.

If she saw a whale meat menu in a restaurant, she would probably be interested.

Chu Mingcheng didn't care about it either. There were so many exotic foods in the world, and he didn't have to try them.

Although the minke whale has a very good taste among cetaceans, but the taste is nothing more than "fish flavored beef", he is not curious.

So in the end he let the killer whales bring their own food and continue to set off with them. This minke whale will be their food tomorrow.

After another three-day journey, Chuming City arrived at a target location in Antarctica.

This is a sea area with a water depth of more than 1,500 meters. The top fish finder on the ship has successfully detected traces of large fish at the bottom of the water.

There are no other large fish in the deep waters of Antarctica except Antarctic cod.

The name of this thing is silver cod, but it is not a real cod.

Its actual name is the toothfish, and there are two main types, the small-scaled toothfish and the scaly-headed toothfish.

The main target of Chuming City is the small scale toothfish, the price of which is much higher than that of ordinary cod.

In Ugly Country, the price of a pound of toothfish is about 20 green coins.

On Hong Kong Island, one hundred grams of this thing costs tens of Hong Kong dollars.

Not only is it expensive, but the toothfish can grow up to two meters in size and weigh more than two hundred catties.

It is the same as the seven-banded grouper, the bigger the fish, the better the taste, mainly due to the high fat content.

Chuming City was able to find this fish mainly because it accidentally discovered a large fishing boat specializing in toothfish fishing in the sea.

Those longlines on the surface gave them the exact spot to fish.

It's a pity that Chuming City currently doesn't have the capital to obtain a share of toothfish and Antarctic shrimp, so it can only watch greedily.

"It's so deep, how can we fish!" Looking at the depth displayed on the fish finder, Jiang Luoluo lamented helplessly.

They were sailing boats with no longlines or longline equipment on board.

A longline that can catch more than 1,000 meters is not small, and a batch of thick ropes requires machines to be lowered.

"You just sit and hug the high-power electric winch, and let the machine pull it slowly! Anyway, there are two on the boat. If this one is out of battery, use it to charge it, and replace it with the other one."

"how about you?"

"I'll just fish hard. I'm strong, and I can barely catch 1,500 meters."

The corner of Jiang Luoluo's mouth twitched, at a depth of 1,500 meters, it would be useless to catch one!

But thinking that her man is really unusual, she didn't object.

The two began to prepare one after another, two heavy-duty boat poles, two high-power electric winches, and a big drum.

But before they catch the toothfish, they need to catch some bait that will interest the toothfish.

Although Antarctic shrimp can make nests to attract them, they are absolutely not interested in the small shrimp on the hook.

So Chu Mingcheng first tied up the small fish ditch and the big lead pendant, and filled the shrimp cage with the Antarctic shrimp he just caught a few days ago.

Jiang Luoluo didn't fish with him, but moved a small bench and sat beside him, resting his chin with his hands and waiting quietly.

There are more than 200 kinds of fish in Antarctica, any small fish is bait, Chu Mingcheng doesn't care what he catches.

It's a pity that no small fish schools in shallow water were found on the fish finder. Finally, he found some small fish schools inhabiting at a depth of more than 500 meters in the nearby waters.

The hook bait and shrimp pot sank at a very fast speed under the weight of the ten kilogram lead pendant.

After a while, the hook sank to the bottom, and Chu Mingcheng took back some lines.

Fortunately, he came to Antarctica with a clear goal. He prepared several types of fishing lines with a length of 1,000 meters, 2,000 meters and 3,000 meters, and specially purchased a line cup that can hold such a long fishing line.

Otherwise, he would not be able to catch such a deep fish, so he could only wander around in shallow water to try his luck.

The water droplets lacked food, and the smell of Antarctic shrimp in the shrimp cage quickly attracted a group of fish.

Coupled with the influence of plug-ins, the fishhook is surrounded by fish every once in a while.

Among them are not only small fish that can be used as bait, but also Chuming City's target toothfish.

It's just that the toothfish here are not only smaller in number but also far inferior in size compared to those in the previous position.

But they were still not interested in the little shrimps, and rushed towards other fishes.

Because of them, the small fish shoals that had originally gathered dispersed in a rush.

But after the toothfish chased the small fish and left for a short time, some of the small fish gathered again.

First come, first served, a fish about 30 centimeters couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately swallowed the shrimp in one gulp.

The next moment, the movement of its struggle was transmitted to the fishing rod by the fishing line, causing the fishing rod to vibrate slightly.

Seeing the fish took the bait, Chu Mingcheng raised his hand lightly, and then quickly took up the line.

Judging from the trembling of the fishing rod, the fish would not be too big, but Chu Mingcheng found that the strength he spent turning the swing and lifting the fishing rod was nearly twice as much as usual.

Sure enough, there is no electric winch for fishing deep-sea fish, and it is really too much for ordinary people to catch too much.

The line of more than 500 meters was too long, and it took him three or four minutes to pull the fish to the surface when the fish had almost no strength to resist.

"Oh, there are ice fish here." Jiang Luoluo, who had done enough homework, recognized the fish immediately after seeing the fish, "It is said that this fish can be hot to death in the palm of your hand, is it true?"

Chu Mingcheng mentioned to the boat, then looked at Bingyu who was barely alive and said with a smile: "You will know if you try it?"

Now they have come to Antarctica, even though it is close to the summer season, the weather is still very cold, and the temperature in broad daylight still reaches minus 20 degrees.

If you go to the Antarctic land, it should be more than 30 degrees below zero now.

Therefore, Jiang Luoluo naturally changed into a thick down jacket, with gloves on.

Unlike Chu Mingcheng, she was not afraid of the cold at all. She was wearing normal fishing clothes in this weather, but she wore an extra set of thermal underwear inside.

That's why she didn't want to take off the gloves to pass the temperature to the ice fish.

"If you want to try it, I don't want it. I'm afraid of the cold!"

"We have to believe in science!" Chu Mingcheng chuckled, but he was not stupid enough to use his own hands for experiments.

Anyway, there are still scientific researches, saying that a temperature higher than five degrees can kill icefish, he chooses to believe it.

He took out the hook, threw the fish aside, and continued to catch the bait.

But Jiang Luoluo didn't just sit in a daze this time, but replaced the hook with the telescopic rod, and started catching small fish.
