Chapter 133: Investigating the Fish

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Luo said a word to Scarlett, and went to the beach with Daxter.

"Boss, I think we have to go to sea, let's take a few nets and see what is going on in the sea. ”

Looking at the endless sea, Dast gave his own suggestion, the construction of a fishery is very easy to do, but the fish situation is not easy to say, the value of the fishing ground with fish and the fishery without fish is too different.

Ye Luo said: "Okay, I just bought a tuna fishing boat a few days ago, and I haven't opened it yet, so I put it on the dock, will you drive the boat?"

Tuna fishing boat, tonnage of 280 tons, length is 12 meters, width is 6 meters, draft is 1.5 meters, conventional sailing 16 knots, the fastest sailing 20 knots, equipped with 20 rod sockets, boat, stern each have a crane, diesel motor power is 420 kilowatts.

"Of course it will be opened, if the fisherman can't drive the boat, can he still hand it over to the fisherman?"

Dast said in an excited tone, and then looked envious: "I saw it when I came by boat in the morning, I thought it was someone else's, but I didn't expect it to be the boss you." ”

"It's good to drive, just drive that ship. Ye Luo nodded.

Dast shook his head and said, "No, that boat is a sea fishing boat, it has a single function, and it can only be used to catch tuna, because there is no trawl, and it can't fish like other fishing boats." I think it's okay to open mine first, it's enough now, and we're just going to learn about the fish now. ”

Daxter's fishing boat is a single trawler, the kind of small boat that is commonly seen on TV with a towing net at the stern, with a length of 16.5 meters, a width of 4.5 meters, a draft of 2.5 meters, an empty displacement of 40 tons, a full load displacement of 180 tons, and a diesel engine with a horsepower of 385.

The ship has been around for some years, but Dast has always cherished it, so the performance is not bad.

On the fishing boat named 'Shark', Ye Luo was quite arrogant and followed Dast out to sea.

......

The diesel engine of the fishing boat roared, Dast stood at the stern of the boat and was about to lower the net, Ye Luo looked back, and ran to the bow of the boat, so he didn't go to work.

As the fishing boats leave the pier in the wind and waves, the islands become smaller and smaller, and the blue sea opens its arms to the small fishing boats.

The sea breeze blew in his face, moist and fresh, Ye Luo took a breath hard, and sighed in his heart: "There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea!"

Because it was too quiet, Daxter didn't hear clearly, he turned his head and looked at Ye Luo curiously, thinking that this boss was sometimes stupid.

Worried that Ye Luo would fall into the water, Daxter said, "Boss, there is a swimsuit in the cab, you go and put it on." ”

Ye Luo suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, he was more comfortable in the sea than on land now, what kind of swimsuit do you want?

Daxter was worried that something was wrong with him, and seeing that Ye Luo couldn't help, he simply found something for the latter to play, and Ye Luo was very frightened by the fact that Ye Luo was always standing on the bow of the boat and looking into the sea.

Ye Luo was overjoyed to hear that he could play a game of fishing on the boat, and as a result, Daxter brought him a string of things, that is, several ropes tied to each other, and the ropes were tied in knots with bamboo tubes of different sizes.

"Daxter, what is this thing you are taking?" Ye Luo asked in a daze.

Dust grinned, "This is the 'Tors Bucket', a special tool for catching eels, I'll find a good place later, slow down the boat, and we can catch eels." ”

Eel is a very ancient fish species, the habit is very peculiar, they grow in the rivers on land, and when they mature, they migrate to the ocean to spawn and lay eggs, they only lay eggs once in their lives, and they die after spawning.

Most of the world's eels prefer to survive in the warm tropics and subtropics, and only European eels and North American eels can survive in cold waters.

Newfoundland is surrounded by warm and cold currents, and the leafy island is in the middle, which is a perfect time for both temperate and cold fish, as well as tropical fish.

Later, Daxter explained to Ye Luo: "The North American eel will return to the ocean from the river to spawn in spring and summer, and after a winter of hibernation, although the meat of the eel at this time is not very fat, but the roe is full and the taste is very good. ”

"What's the use of putting these bamboo tubes down?" Ye Luo asked.

"North American eels like to burrow into this kind of tube, especially when we put in the shredded meat they love to eat, and I bet you can catch it in an hour and our lunch will be enough." ”

Ye Luo put the bamboo tube into the water according to the method that Dast said, and then fixed the rope so that he was free again, and went to watch Daxter trawling.

Daxter controlled the fishing boat to move slowly in the direction of the sea breeze, he showed the fishing net in his hand, Ye Luo found that the mesh was very small, and it was estimated that even the fry could not escape, so he asked: "Are the current fishing boats equipped with such fishing nets? Shouldn't they catch big fish and let go of small fish?"

Daxter shook his head, thinking that Ye Luo was an inexperienced novice, so he could only explain helplessly: "It's spring, and it's neither the breeding season for a large number of fish nor the time when the fish and shrimp are at their fattest, so it's difficult to catch big enough fish." Today we are here to inquire about the potential production of fish and shrimp in the fishing grounds, so that the small fish and shrimp can not be spared, and in the autumn they will grow up. It's just that when we catch it, we will release it back into the sea. ”

As he spoke, Daxter lowered the net, and then began to explain: "Controlling the speed of the trawl is a science, boss, if it is official fishing, we use different strategies for different fish groups. ”

"If you catch a fish that swims fast, such as mullet or cod, then the trawl speed is faster, and if it is a slow fish, such as salmon, then the trawl speed is slower. ”

"Also, now we are in deep water, if it is shallow water, then the net will touch the bottom of the sea, at this time when dragging in a place with hard ground, you have to be slower, otherwise it will damage the net, and when you are dragging in a soft mud bottom area, you have to be faster......"

In the end, Daxter patted his head, took out a small notebook from his pocket, handed it to Ye Luo, and said, "Hell, boss, I forgot to give you a list of necessities for the fishing grounds, you can take a look at this thing when you have time." ”

Ye Luo took a small notebook handed by Daxter, on which a number of things were written in crooked handwriting, mainly purse seine nets, ground pull nets, trawl nets, rake nets, laying nets, masks, thorns, fishing tackle, assassination fishing gear, fishing machinery and freezing equipment, etc.

Clearly, Daxter put a lot of thought into this list, with brand introductions and associated prices, and even some places to house some large equipment.

Looking at the equipment on the small book, Ye Luo would ask Daxter when he didn't understand something, and before he knew it, an hour had passed.

......

Daxter drove the fishing boat slowly, the sea and the sky were the same, the sea breeze was gentle, and the leaves occasionally looked around, although they were all exactly the same seawater, but he still watched with relish.

Feeling that it was almost over, Ye Luo went to fish up the bamboo tube net that had sunk in the sea before.

Daxter originally planned to come up to help, because the bamboo tube was very heavy when the water entered it, but Ye Luo was stunned and pulled it up in one breath, and he was shocked when he saw it, but also admired: "Wow, boss, you are actually a strong man, and your strength is estimated to be about the same as mine." ”

Ye Luo didn't explain, smiled and poured the bamboo tube upside down, and after the first bamboo tube was flipped, there was a harvest, and a flat brown and cyan fish fell out.

"Huh...... It's actually a Greenland halibut?" Dusty smiled in surprise: "If it's bigger, we can eat it grilled, it tastes great." ”

Ye Luo grabbed the small fish and threw it back into the sea, and then poured a few more bamboo tubes with great interest, but there was no gain.

Almost half of the bamboo tube was poured, and finally a black-backed North American eel was poured out, which was not small, more than 20 centimeters, Ye Luo grabbed it in his hand and tried it, weighing about a catty.

"Well, that's the takeaway. Ye Luo shook his hand at Daxter half happily and half depressed.

Dast leaned on the side of the boat and watched, Ye Luo continued to pour the bamboo tube, and finally poured out another one, a total of two.

Seeing this, Daxter frowned and sighed: "It seems that the fish situation here has also been affected by Newfoundland, in the past, the eels that could be deceived by throwing a net in the waters around Newfoundland Island can deceive more than ten pounds, but now there are only two." ”

Ye Luo was somewhat mentally prepared, but he was not too panicked.

In fact, from the beginning of the boarding, Ye Luo suddenly had a bad premonition, the shallow water area has a good seafood and fish situation, does not mean that the deep sea area is the same, seeing that the bamboo tube did not catch much North American eels, he didn't care, and even he faintly thought in his heart that they were dragging in the back of the fishing net, and it was estimated that there were not many fish.

Just what's in it?

If there are no fish in the fishery, he can buy fish fry, and as long as he is willing to work hard, the fishery will eventually become prosperous.

Although he can't buy all the seafood fry from the mall, and even if he could, he didn't have that much prestige to squander.

It can only be purchased from some fish nurseries, and although the quality cannot be compared with the fish fry in the mall, it is certainly much better than the ordinary farmed ones.

He thought that the effect of the system could be used in the things in the mall, but when he saw that the growth of maple saplings was also being taken care of by the system, he knew that he still knew too little about the system.

If it has an effect on maple seedlings, it must also have an effect on fish fry, but the growth rate cannot be compared with the fishermen in the mall, and even then it must grow much faster than those farmed.

He is confident in this, no, it should be said that he is full of confidence in the system!

It's no wonder that Ye Luo has such an idea, relying on prestige to buy things from the mall, which is unrealistic.

If it was just vegetables and fruit seeds, the leaves would fall but he could afford it, but he tried to be perfect, even poultry and livestock and seafood had to be made together.

In this way, his burden becomes greater.

In addition, Ye Luo found that the animals purchased from the system did not have the ability to reproduce at all, which was even worse news for him.

Originally, he had planned to wait for the animals in the system to grow up and then breed offspring, so that he could save a lot of prestige.

It's just that where is the hole in the system so easy to drill?

Therefore, Ye Luo has been hesitating these days, whether to buy something from the outside to try it, even if it fails, it is nothing more than a loss of some money for him, if he succeeds, he will make a lot of money!
