Chapter 489: The First Catch of the Fishing Ground!

Originally, Ye Luo thought that he could be a hands-off shopkeeper for a few days.

After all, many projects on the island are under construction right now, and they won't be completed for a while.

Unexpectedly, Daxter told Ye Luo that the fishing ground had finally reached the day when it was time to produce fish!

This news made Ye Luo realize that it was impossible for him to be lazy.

Knowing that the fishery was about to start large-scale fishing, Thomas and his group of fishermen were excited.

Although they are employed by Ye Luo and receive a dead salary, according to the rules of the fishery, as long as they start to produce fish, they have a dividend.

For Ye Luo's boldness, Dast they have already experienced it deeply, and they also know how the fish in the fishing ground is, and these are combined, that is, it is not a problem to get tens of thousands of dividends every month!

At first, Ye Luo thought that it would be enough to drive the Goldfish and Blue Fish out to fish, but the fishermen were busy preparing things, all kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs, fruits, campfires, and tables in pots, which looked like they were going to have a dinner party rather than going to sea.

Dast explains: "Before the fishing season in Newfoundland begins, there is a sea festival to try to get out to sea. ”

"That's too superstitious, isn't it? After understanding, Ye Luo smiled dumbly, now they all pay attention to science, in fact, it is the same all over the world, there are always superstitions left.

Seeing Ye Luo's disapproval, Dast said seriously: "No, boss, this is not superstition, but to express our respect and awe for the ocean." Also, "God rules over the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the nether remain blank," the Bible cannot be mistaken. ”

In fact, Dusty is right, the mysterious temper of the sea is what fishermen fear the most, and it is always good to maintain a sense of awe for it.

The sea festival, also known as the fishing festival, was inherited from the Newfoundland Indian Bivosuk, also known as the Red Indians in the United States. Among their people, the fishing festival is a grand festival second only to the harvest festival.

Dast explained the process of the sea festival and Ye Luo, which was actually very simple, and it was not as complicated and serious as he imagined.

In the past, when the fishermen of Newfoundland held sea festivals, they first set up tents at the mouth of the sea, and then gathered large stones near the coast to make an altar, on which the priests carefully placed the sacrifices and fishing tools, worshiped the sea god and recited blessings.

After completing the sea festival, I began to organize my equipment for fishing.

Generally speaking, fishermen have to survive overseas for three days and two nights, forbidding women to go on boats, forbidding them to eat food brought from land, carrying only fishing tools and freshwater boats, and then eating sashimi and the like at sea with local ingredients, and finally bringing back a good harvest.

Thomas, Robert, Wiggins, and Renison lifted the wooden table onto the deck of the Goldfish, a bonfire was lit on the beach, and offerings such as cod, lobster, and queen crab in the basin were placed on the wooden table, and the Goldfish departed for the port.

The sea festival has begun, and the fishing season has begun!

The Goldfish and Bluefish left the dock one after the other and sailed into the deep sea in the wind and waves.

Overhead, a helicopter whirring overhead, Hagrieg's eyes scanning the radar screen and the sea, relaying some information to the fishing boats below.

The sonar fish finder's screen is constantly beating, filtering the search for the catch information and looking for the large cod fish that have been located.

In the past, Dast had to go to sea almost every day, and every time he went to sea, he was thousands of dollars of diesel, and most of the work he did was to pave the way for today.

The sonar has a catch and mark function, and they patrol the fishing grounds again and again, marking the fish they encounter and catching them in order, not just finding a random place to cast their nets.

Ye Luo was not idle, and secretly walked through the water with his consciousness, and groups of big fish shook their heads and tails.

Short and sturdy mackerel, slender Atlantic herring, plump Atlantic salmon, bright silver-scaled salmon, huge and vigorous haddock, schools of Atlantic cod, cod and whiting, and so on......

These fish are the most common species in the fishing grounds and can be found in almost every area of the sea, with only the difference in quantity.

Ye Luo manipulated his consciousness to travel through the deep water, and turbot began to appear, a precious sea fish with a flat body swimming carefully in the water.

A few tuna two or three meters long roared in, and the turbot immediately stuck to the bottom of the sea, and its flat body was like a cardboard, and the tuna did not see it, so they sailed away.

A two-metre-long halibut swam quickly, not interested in turbot of the same family, and swam towards a school of bright red alfonsino.

The king salmon, which is not inferior in length to the halibut, also appeared, opening its mouth to show its sharp teeth, and the halibut chose to retreat.

A clumsy sunfish swam around in the water.

It turned a deaf ear to the killers passing by, a picture of a broken jar and a broken look.

Occasionally, a few fish will be attracted to the hormones secreted by it, and they will be close to it to absorb these hormones and treat the sick.

More sick fish choose to look for these doctors in Peterpine Rock Shrimp and Hedgehog Shrimp.

They get close to the crevices of the reef where the Doctor Shrimp are hiding, allowing the little shrimp to clean them of rotting tissue and parasites.

The swarms swim on the surface of the water, and their excrement becomes a delicacy for the Petersson Rock Shrimp, the Prawns and the Prawns, who are the most warlike.

Further down the ocean, there are more precious species such as napoleon wrasse, semi-slippery sole, and stone snapper, which carefully swim among the seaweeds in search of food.

When they see dolphins, they immediately dive to the bottom and hide.

The dolphin appeared on the sonar fish finder, and Renison shouted excitedly: "Boss, I found a big guy, it looks like a tuna......! Oh no!"

As soon as Renison finished speaking, the next second he saw several dolphins jumping out of the water and falling into the water.

Seeing this, Renison spread his hands helplessly, he admitted that he was mistaken, these are dolphins and not bluefin tuna, Dast and the others immediately burst into laughter when they saw this scene.

Ye Luo also smiled.

In fact, he was laughing at the dolphins who had made meritorious contributions.

Renison was right, the ones on the finder were bluefin tuna, not dolphins.

Golden mackerel, sea bass, crucian carp, bigeye snapper, swordfish, rudder bonito, bonito, bonito, mackerel......

The diversity of fish species at the Yelok Fishery will be amazed if other fishermen see it.

Such abundant fishery resources disappeared more than a decade ago.

Especially with the problem of pollution, Newfoundland's fishery resources are at an all-time low.

Today, there are no other fishermen in Newfoundland except for the leaves.

At this time, a large school of fish marked by Hagreg in the sky with a helicopter appeared and hurriedly contacted the fishing boats on the sea.

Sure enough.

A school of fish appeared on the sonar fish finder.

This is a school of Atlantic cod, which Ye Luo stole from the fishing ground of a domineering guy who wanted to bully him at no cost.

These fish are the first to survive in the fishing grounds and are therefore the fastest growing.

Just a year to get these fish from

The palm-sized fry grow to more than half a meter long, and the growth rate can only be described as magical.

This year's fishing grounds are not the best time to fish.

The fish, shrimp and crabs stocked at the back of the fishery grow relatively slowly, and cod normally takes five or six years to be farmed before it is suitable for production, when they can grow to seventy or eighty centimeters.

But the rice has to be eaten in one bite, and the road has to be walked step by step, and it is impossible for the fishing grounds of the leaves to reach the limit of the fishing grounds for the first time.

It is impossible for Ye Luo to find a sales channel immediately, let alone open the supply of many restaurants and hotels this year.

In his opinion, this year is just the beginning.

This self-knowledge is still there!

Once the school of cod was found, Daxter took the helm, Thomas and Renison began to cast the net with the other fishermen, and the Goldfish lowered the huge net and spread out to envelop the fish.

The fishing boat slowly sailed forward, the net was opened, the fish were caught, and the catch was reflected in the sonar fish finder, but it was not too clear, only a yellow dot could be seen, which was the catch in the net.

Not to be outdone, the smaller Bluefish in the back.

The two fishing farms were open for about half an hour, and almost all of the fish entered them.

Daxter has a lot of experience, and directly starts the electric switch, the motor starts, and the turbine drags the fishing net to start recycling.

Thomas and the fishermen opened the entrance to the ice tank, and the nets were dragged up, and the cables were stretched out to the surface, and finally the nets were caught.

The net was empty when it was thrown down, and now it has become a large ellipsoid with a diameter of more than four meters.

The nets are pulled to the entrance of the ice tank and opened, and the school of cod crackles and falls into the ice tank like hail!

Looking at the huge fat cod, Thomas and the other fishermen high-fived each other, and Dast poked his head out of the cockpit and shouted, "Guys, can anyone tell me how this year's catch is?"

"Harvest, harvest!" exclaimed the fishermen.

With Newfoundland's fishing grounds depleted, it has been a long time since these long-lost fishermen have experienced the sensation of pulling their catches.

For these fishermen, seeing the abundant catch in the fishing nets is a feast for the eyes and a G-spot that can make them feel refreshed.

You must know that the annual output of Newfoundland cod fish in 30 years is only about 150,000 tons, accounting for 10% of the world's cod!

However, due to pollution, Newfoundland's fishery resources are near record lows, and many fish species have become endangered.

What now?

Newfoundland is not even able to catch fish, not to mention the production.

That's why many Newfoundland fishermen have had to sell their farms.

Thomas and Ye Luo said that the weight of this netted cod was three and a half tons.

And Robert and Wiggins, who were on the Bluefish, calculated the weight, and also told Ye Luo loudly that the net of the Bluefish was about more than two tons and less than two and a half tons.

The combined catch of the two fishing boats is almost six tons!

After putting away the fishing nets, Ye Luo, who was fishing with the boat for the first time, went to the ice cabin curiously to take a look, and found that the harvest this time was all big cod, and the small cod were leaking out of the net, so the protection of the fishing ground was the best.

The Goldfish uses fishing nets with a diameter of 10 centimeters, and these adult cod can escape from the nets if they are chosen to travel at a good angle.

However, cod are usually caught horizontally, so big fish can't escape.

Looking at these big fish jumping around, Ye Luo laughed, the fishery has invested so much, and the capital can finally be recovered!
