Chapter 490: Stealing Fish!
At this time, Thomas followed behind Ye Luo, but he was not watching, but working.
Finding a herring more than 30 centimeters in size, Thomas pinched it casually, took out a sharp fish-killing knife, and neatly cut open its stomach, found the stomach and began to watch.
Ye Luo asked him what he was looking at, and Thomas kept moving in his hands, explaining while working: "That's the case, boss, I plan to see if there is a need to put seaweed seeds and feed into the fishing ground, herring eat seaweed and plankton for a living, if their stomachs are very full, it means that they have eaten a lot of bait, and our fishing ground is rich in bait." ”
"If the stomach isn't full enough, then we have to put feed in the fishery, you know, the fish like to move with the currents and the food, and we have a lot of bait in the fishery, so we can attract these fish to stay. If we don't have enough bait in our fishing grounds, then these fish will leave and go to other places like the Gulf of Mexico to find food. ”
At this time, Renison, who came over, said in a timely manner: "Boss, you are not a fisherman, so you may not know much about this, we usually use this way to judge when to put feed in the fishery and how much feed to put in the fishery." ”
"I see. Ye Luo nodded, he didn't pay attention to these.
The main reason is that he knows that the bait in his fishing grounds is absolutely abundant, otherwise wouldn't the money he keeps investing be wasted?
Thomas's test also proved this, and after looking at several mackerel and herring in a row, his stomach was very full.
After checking it out, it was natural to continue fishing.
The Goldfish and Bluefish cruised the seas left and right, and the sonar fish finder constantly caught and selected the big fish that were once found.
Thomas had a few fishermen stay in the ice hut to sort out their catches and see how they were preserved.
In fact, Goldfish and Bluefish store exactly the same catch.
There are three ways to preserve catches, which are chilling, coiling and chilling, and freezing and refrigeration.
Chilled is the most important way to preserve, and the most common cabins are filled with crystal-clear ice cubes that can preserve the cod for about 10 days.
This method has a large amount of freshness, is easy to operate, and can maintain the original flavor of cod.
Coil cold preservation is to install cooling pipes in the ice tank, and continuously spray cold air into it, so that the freshness time is longer.
But it's only suitable for some precious seafood, such as turbot and salmon that are caught with cod.
Freezing and refrigeration directly lowers the temperature of the ice chamber to minus 10 degrees, and the fish and shrimp are immediately frozen into ice lumps after entering, which is used to preserve those high-fat, perishable fish, such as tuna.
Tuna is not all precious bluefin tuna, but there are also bigeye tuna, masu tuna, albacore, yellowfin tuna and bonito, etc., the latter two are more numerous, and they are cheaper than bluefin tuna.
Of course, this cheapness is still comparative.
The bloodlines are there, and even the cheapest tuna is more precious than the most expensive cod.
The latter leaves fell on the deck, and Daxter commanded another net, and after the fishing boat increased its catch by more than two tons.
However, compared to the previous batch, which was all cod, this batch of fish is more complicated.
At that time, a school of mackerel and cod was hunting, and dozens of eels were caught, and these fish were put in the freezer room, which was relatively expensive.
These eels are all American eels.
This kind of eel is not only nutritious, delicious, less spiny and more meaty, but also has the ability to cool and relieve the heat
, nourishing and strengthening the body.
Due to overfishing, the population is now declining dramatically.
Ye Luo once wanted to breed, and asked many people about Rock Hudson, but those people said no.
From this point, Ye Luo knew that it was really difficult to find fry for this American eel.
Eel seedlings cannot be cultivated by artificial propagation, mainly because eels have a very special life history and are difficult to simulate in an artificial environment.
They first lay eggs in seawater, then enter freshwater to grow, and then return to seawater to continue to grow after a certain length.
At noon, Thomas set up an oven on the deck.
They caught a lot of squid and squid, so they chose the fattest ones, spread them with sauce for barbecue, and ate them with beer.
Ye Luo specially stewed a mackerel, during which Dast told him that the American eel tasted very good, known as the soft gold of the sea, so he used a small pot to stuff an American eel.
Thomas and Renison giggle as they grill squid, with a pile of sauce-smeared squid next to them.
Renison is still a little conscientious, and specially found a string of grilled squid heads with the most tender meat for Ye Luo to eat, after the [healing potion] and [purification potion] improved, the squid living in the fishery tasted more delicious, and there was gravy splashing in the mouth, which was the best.
Of course, it's not just squid, it's all other fish as well!
Dast and the other fishermen have already eaten enough of these things in the sea, but they still feel good about eating what they have from their own fishing grounds.
Thomas threw a bottle of dark beer to Ye Luo, and after opening it, he took a sip of grilled squid and stewed eel, which was so refreshing!
Eat and drink to your heart's content, and continue to go to the net in the afternoon.
The Goldfish harvested four large nets of fish in one day, and the Bluefish used to do so.
The ice tanks of the two fishing farms were full and they returned home.
Sunset.
Ye Luo stood on the deck and looked at the soft sunlight, he stretched out his arms and made a posture of embracing the sea breeze, looking very satisfied with the catch in his fishing grounds.
The two fishing boats were driving backwards, and Hagreg's voice suddenly came over the radio: "Daxter, hurry up and inform the boss, about three hundred kilometers to the northwest, a fishing boat has broken in, it looks like it is stealing fish!"
As soon as he heard the news, Ye Luo immediately went into the cab and picked up the radio to communicate with Hagrig: "Pigeon, you fly over immediately now and warn them to leave quickly, this is a private fishing ground, if they don't listen to the persuasion to continue to stay, directly use force!"
"Roger, understood. Hagreg replied cleanly.
Then, I saw him spin around in the air with a helicopter, and immediately rushed to the northwest.
At this time, Ye Luo is no longer in the mood to appreciate the sea breeze and sunset.
He knew that the protection of his fishing grounds had to be put on the agenda, and that as the fishing season began, many fishing boats would enter the area, either by mistake or by stealing fish.
The reason why so few people in Newfoundland are willing to engage in private fishing is due to pollution and the difficulty of construction.
The fisherman has worked hard to invest in fish fry, seaweed, and feed, but in the end he is just making wedding clothes for others, and others are just stealing them.
The good thing is that whether it is the national government of Hawaii or the provincial and municipal governments at all levels, the protection of private fishing grounds is relatively large.
Then you can attack directly.
After the Goldfish and Bluefish returned to the dock together, the fishermen were busy driving large trucks to deliver boxes of frozen fish from the boat to the cold storage of the fishing grounds, while Ye Luo sat on the dock and waited for news from Hagrig.
Fortunately, the news was not too bad, and Hagreg sent back a radio message saying that the other party had left after receiving the warning, and that he was still flying a helicopter to monitor the ship, and had written down the ship's number and name, and that the coast guard could be notified to deal with the matter later.
Even so, some of the catch was stolen from the fishery.
Ye Luo didn't care about such a little catch, he was worried that now that the whole of Newfoundland could not catch fish, these fish thieves would taste the sweetness and find that the catch in their fishing grounds could be sold at a high price, so it was certain that he would become a den of thieves in the future.
That's the problem!
Sitting on the beach blowing the sea breeze, Ye Luo looked at the vast fishing ground, and scolded in his heart, why is it so difficult to do some business?
For a while, Ye Luo didn't know what to say.
The main thing is that he knows that many fishermen in Newfoundland are now unemployed, but there are still a small number of fishermen who have to go further away from Newfoundland to fish in order to support their families.
If the word spreads among fishermen that people come to the fishing grounds to steal fish, there will definitely be people who will take risks.
......
Over the next two days, Ye Luo and Daxter transported more than a dozen tons of fish to the fishing dock in Newfoundland for disposal.
Even though Newfoundland's catch is now nearly depleted, the fishing docks are still open.
More than a dozen tons of fish seem to be a lot, but there are many vendors who can't stand it, and one person will quickly sell out a little.
After returning to the island after selling the fish, Ye Luo did not continue fishing while the iron was hot, but considered how to prevent fish theft.
Ye Luo held the idea of 'three stinkers, against one Zhuge Liang', and gathered everyone together.
If you ask how to deal with this, you can't always fly a helicopter over the fishing grounds to monitor it, right?
"Then buy a civilian radar, which can monitor the surrounding sea at 360 degrees after installation. Hagrig suggested.
Ye Luo doesn't know much about this.
Although he is a pseudo-military enthusiast and knows how to shoot, he really knows too much about radar, airplanes, tank engines, etc.
Hagreg and Renison introduced to him that radar can be divided into military and civilian according to its use.
General military radars, including warning radars, guidance radars, and friend-or-foe identification radars, are all powerful weapons of great destruction.
Civilian radars include navigation radars, weather radars, speed radars, and monitoring station radars.
Fishing grounds use monitoring station radar, which is now used by large farms in many countries to manage livestock, such as cattle and sheep.
Most of these radars use military obsolete technologies such as mechanical scanning antennas, and some advanced points use passive phased array technology of electronic scanning, so that the electromagnetic beams emitted by the radar can be scanned on the sea surface, which can not only detect the direction of the target, but also detect its distance and speed.
Hagreg finally advised: "Boss, if you want to use civilian radar, then buy the S700 ground scanning radar made by Zeus Precision Instrument Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the United States. When I used to work in the coast guard, we had a radar with excellent performance, with a scanning radius of 2,000 kilometers, which was enough for our fishing grounds. ”
