Chapter 543: A Sudden Storm
Compared with other fishing boats that go to the sea, sometimes they go to sea alone or with friends they know well. On the other hand, Zhuang Haiyang, which has three large and two small boats, can move freely. When you get to sea, you don't have to worry about being bullied.
Even if you sometimes encounter fishing boats from other countries, as long as the fishermen of other countries are not stupid, they also know that it is better to stay away from such large fishing boats. For Zhuang Haiyang, he will not bully others, and naturally he will not let others bully.
After sailing for nearly a day and a night, we finally arrived at the fishing area of this trip. As the boss of the boat, Zhuang Haiyang still went to the sea in advance to check the surrounding fishing conditions. For him, the accuracy of this manual fish search is more sensitive than that of fishing radar.
Most importantly, as long as there are high-quality fish in the surrounding waters, then Zhuang Haiyang has a way to lure them into the trawl area. This is also the reason why others need to rely on luck, but Zhuang Haiyang still has to pick and choose.
Those fish that are not expensive are not very expensive, and Zhuang Haiyang has little interest in fishing. Secondly, the trawlers used by Zhuang Haiyang have larger aperture than ordinary trawlers. In this way, the fish caught on the boat will naturally be larger.
The three fishing vessels are guided to release their nets in turn, and when the first boat begins to reel, the second fishing boat moves some distance away and begins to trawl again. Lower the net and follow the net in turn, until all three boats have begun to reel in the net.
Looking at the various fresh seafood caught, Zhu Junhong and others, who were worried about the team leader, would also confess one after another: "Expensive marine fish such as grouper will be picked out and stocked in the water tank first." Others that are not easy to raise should be sent to cold storage for freezing and freshness. ”
"Understood!"
"Then let's get to work! I didn't get out of the crab pot today, and I guess I have to trawl twice. It's all good!"
"Roger!"
New and old players naturally have no problem with such a job assignment. As the boss of the boat, Zhuang Haiyang, after guiding the fish, will also release a certain share of beneficial energy in the fishing area, which can be regarded as feeding the fishing group in the sea area.
Catching big and letting go of small is itself a fishing rule that many fishermen follow. As a child of a fisherman's family, Zhuang Haiyang has always done this. More often than not, he rarely fishes in the same area for long periods of time, and changes places every time he goes out to sea.
That's why every time he goes out to sea, he needs to tell the fleet to go to that area. As long as the fishing boats can go to the sea, it is naturally not a problem. If you want to go to the sea too far away, the two salvage ships are afraid that they will not be able to keep up.
Fortunately, the construction of the second distant-water fishing vessel is already being accelerated. If nothing else, this year's fishing moratorium will see the addition of a distant-water fishing vessel to the fleet. When the time comes, the two ships will go to sea together, and they will be able to take care of each other.
At the same time, the size of the ocean-going fleet can naturally be expanded. For many veterans, the income from fishing in the open sea last year is more profitable than in domestic waters. It's just that it's harder.
Running so far in the sea, you have to stay on the ship for at least a month or so. Staying on a ship for such a long time is also extremely boring. The work is repetitive every day, and life on board is also monotonous.
Fortunately, all the team members know that it is undoubtedly an extremely lucky thing to be able to join the distant-water fishing team. For these retired non-commissioned officers who joined the company, what they expect most when they come to the company is naturally to make more money.
No matter how hard it is, it is better than the ease of training in the army before, right? Moreover, the living conditions on the ship are more free than the life on the warship. It's too boring to stay at sea, and the fleet sometimes chooses the port for a short supply break.
Looking at the sea turtles and other creatures that were accidentally caught after the net was unraveled, many team members smiled and said, "These guys come to join in the fun every time." Luckily, if we were to be replaced by someone else, we might be drunk in stew. ”
Some protected marine creatures will be released by all team members in accordance with the law. Over time, those marine creatures can't be fished, and the veteran team members also know it. Making the money that should be earned is also the rule that Zhuang Haiyang has always emphasized.
If Zhuang Haiyang really wants to make money, with his current water nature, those coral groups that grow in the deep sea can also bring him a lot of income. The question is, how could he possibly do such a thing that destroys the marine ecology?
As for the damage to the marine ecology caused by fishing, it is also something that cannot be stopped. What Zhuang Haiyang can do is to fish at the same time, but also feed the surrounding marine life, so that those young fish can grow better.
At the end of the salvage work in the morning, Zhuang Haiyang also instructed: "Shengjie, inform all boats to pick out some seafood you like to eat and add a meal." In the afternoon, the fleet began to return, sailing back for dozens of nautical miles, and then finding a place to trawl. ”
"Good!"
Rules like this are known to all crew members. And every time they pick up fish, the members of the cooking team who are in charge of the meals on each boat will also pick some precious but unsustainable seafood as seafood for additional meals.
All in all, for the crew on board, it only takes a few more trips to the sea. When they get back to shore, they don't have much interest in seafood, but prefer greens or other meat dishes made in the canteen. Starting point Chinese
After lunch, the fleet, under the guidance of Zhou Shengjie, began to turn around the sea area when the bow of the ship came and went. In this way, when the fishing operation is over, the fleet can return to Nanshan Island in the shortest possible time.
has followed Zhuang Haiyang to sea many times, and many crew members are also used to taking lunch breaks. Even Zhuang Haiyang, who usually goes to the sea actively, will maintain the habit of taking a lunch break on the boat. Sooner or later, he would not be seen on the ship.
When the fishing operation was over in the afternoon, the team members who had finished sorting the sea fish began to get busy again. The fishing boat, which completed the sorting operation first, took the lead in throwing the crab pots loaded with bait into the sea under the guidance of Zhuang Haiyang.
After these tasks, the fishing vessels will anchor in the selected sea area to rest. Team members who like to swim a few laps in the sea can also get off the boat and swim a few laps in the sea. If you don't like it, you can also wash and change clothes and rest.
It's only at this time of the day that all the crew members truly relax. Then all you have to do is wait for the meal to start, and then go back to the cabin to rest one after another, wait for the sun to rise the next day, and then repeat the previous work.
Considering the safety of the fleet, the three ships are still a little far apart from each other, but they need to make sure that they can see each other. In the past, there have been cases of crab pots being stolen, but now when the anchor is lowered, the boat will also aim at the sea where the crab pot is dropped.
If an unknown vessel approaches, the fleet can also get up in time to drive away the fishing boats that try to get close to the crab pots. If persuasion fails, there is only one fight. For Zhuang Haiyang and others, they are really not afraid of fighting with ordinary fishing boats.
In fact, there is no fishing boat that dares to act so rampantly. Generally, fishermen who steal other people's crab pots or fishing nets also have the mentality of taking advantage. When the victim came, he still didn't leave, which is still rare.
In the inshore fishing grounds, the rules of the previous fishermen are followed. If you dare to steal a cage or net placed by someone else. If they are caught, they will be killed! Although the law is now spoken, if a fisherman is beaten, he can only consider himself unlucky.
After resting for the night, Zhuang Haiyang was still the same as usual, the sun had not yet shown the sea level, and he had already jumped into the sea to start a day's practice. By the time they got back to the ship, most of the rest of the crew had gotten up and were starting to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, there is no need for Zhuang Haiyang to do it himself, and each boat is responsible for hoisting the crab pots they placed last night. Looking at the fat crabs picked out, many crew members also know that these crabs are quite valuable to transport back to the port.
In the past few years, the number of inshore fish has decreased, but the number of many crabs has increased. Coupled with the fact that more and more ordinary people are becoming keen on eating crabs. In recent years, the price of sea crabs has been rising.
In the generation of Zhuang Haiyang's father, there are not many fishermen who love to eat crabs. Today, crab is a popular seafood. The bigger the crab, the higher the price.
Seeing that the crab pots were finished in each boat, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Shengjie, inform the other two boats, and follow you back for a distance." In the afternoon, the trawl will be released, and today's work can be declared over. ”
"yes, got it!"
In addition to guiding the fish and guiding the placement of crab pots, Zhuang Haiyang, who is now the boss of the boat, does not have much work on the boat. But all the crew members know that the work that Zhuang Haiyang is responsible for is the relationship that ensures the harvest of the fleet.
As the daily repetition of fishing continued, the empty water tanks and freezers began to fill with all kinds of seafood. But what Zhuang Haiyang didn't expect was that when he anchored to rest as usual, the wind and waves on the sea suddenly increased at night.
Zhuang Haiyang, who was meditating and cultivating on the boat, was also a little surprised to see the degree of shaking of the boat. Getting up and going to the deck, I saw that it was pouring rain outside the ship, and the wind and waves at sea seemed to be increasing.
Looking up at the skylight, even if the sky was dark, Zhuang Haiyang could still sensitively feel that the air flow on the sea seemed to be a little wrong. Thinking of this, Zhuang Haiyang immediately said: "Notify the driving group to get up, sound the anchor, and leave this sea area." ”
The member in charge of the night patrol said with a little surprise: "Ocean, do you think this weather is wrong?"
"Well, the level of the wind and waves is increasing, and the speed is very high. Most importantly, there seems to be strong convective weather forming in the air as well. For the sake of safety, let's get out of this dangerous sea as soon as possible. ”
"Good!"
Zhou Shengjie, who was woken up, didn't say much when he heard Zhuang Haiyang's decision. Without saying a word, he started the engine and honked the ship's air whistle. With the sound of three air whistles, the other two resting ships began to anchor in an instant.
Looking at the weather instrument loaded in the cockpit, Zhuang Haiyang soon found that a strong air pressure was rapidly forming a heel accumulation. As the captain of the ship, Zhou Shengjie was indeed shocked when he saw this scene.
Even fishing boats that are currently going out to sea can receive real-time weather forecasts from the fishery department. However, for this sudden severe convective weather, it is difficult for the meteorological early warning department to give timely feedback.
Knowing that this situation was very dangerous, regardless of the fact that it was late at night, Zhuang Haiyang quickly called the maritime department he knew to inform him of the emergency. Reporting earlier can also avoid some unnecessary accidents!
