Chapter 44 Yellowfin Tuna

Xiao Peng observed, good guy, this is a school of bonito. At least tens of thousands of bonito swim together. Of course, this is a small-scale school of skipjack tuna, and schools of skipjack tuna in the Pacific Ocean are usually hundreds of thousands of skipjack tuna.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be a school of mixed fish. Although the fish inside look similar, there is a big difference in physique, some large and some small.

After Xiao Peng looked closely, he almost jumped up from the sofa with joy.

It's a school of tuna made up of yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, and bonito!

A hundred years ago, tuna was still a low-grade fish that no one cared about, but now, it is definitely synonymous with high-end fish.

Tuna is a general term, in fact, there are many kinds of tuna, and the price gap is also very large.

For example, bonito also belongs to tuna, but because of the average meat taste and high yield, the price is not very expensive, and it is often seen in the market.

Generally speaking, most countries in the world choose to make canned bonito, but the Wakoku people prefer bonito, and the bonito broth that is often used in Wakoku cuisine is made from dried bonito. It can also be made into half-cooked sashimi, which is also very popular.

Xiao Peng was not very happy to see the bonito, even in the Yellow Sea, this fish is very common.

Xiao Peng was happy that there were yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna in the school of fish!

These two species of fish are rare in the Yellow Sea. Bigeye tuna, in particular, is often seen in tropical and subtropical waters, and is rare in temperate waters.

Yellowfin tuna, on the other hand, is the most abundant tuna except for bonito.

Of course, despite the high production of yellowfin tuna, these have nothing to do with the Yellow Sea. There are very few fish here.

The reason is simple, both of these tuna prefer to live in deeper waters. Yellowfin tuna prefers to live at a depth of more than 100 meters, and bigeye tuna prefers to live at a depth of more than 200 meters.

The Yellow Sea, with an average depth of only 40 meters, is clearly not a suitable living environment for them. In particular, there are many reefs on the bottom of the Yellow Sea, and tuna rarely appear near the reefs due to their high swimming speed.

It is for these reasons that the Yellow Sea of China is almost impossible to see tuna fish.

The beauty in Xiao Peng's heart, the Yellow Sea is not suitable for tuna schools to live, does it mean that the Qianliyan Fishing Ground is not suitable, and such a deep trench is not enough for you to live?

This school of tuna appears to have been brought in from the Sea of Japan. Xiao Peng can't wait to hug the dog's eggs and kiss them fiercely!

Although there are only a few dozen yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna in the fish, and almost all of the rest are bonito, Xiao Peng has absolute confidence that these tuna will continue to breed in his own fishing grounds.

As we all know, tuna is a cruising fish that does not survive in one place. In fact, the reason is simple, tuna are very picky about food, they follow the footsteps of food.

However, the small fish and crustacean molluscs in the Qianliyan Fishery are all raised on moss feed, and it is definitely the best food for tuna. Will they go away if they have something to eat? And as for the breeding of tuna, there is no need to worry, yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna can ovulate tens of millions at a time. As long as you pay attention to protection, you will definitely become a group soon.

"Uncle, uncle, are you stupid?" When Xiao Peng reflected, Fang Ranran was shaking him vigorously.

"Ah, what's wrong, what are you shaking me for?" Xiao Peng asked.

When Fang Ranran heard this, her face was unhappy: "Uncle, I am very serious about telling you what I have seen, but you are distracted? What are you thinking? You don't pay attention to me too much." ”

Xiao Peng jumped up from the sofa: "I don't pay attention to you yet? Uncle was thinking about what to entertain you just now." Let's go, let's go fishing! Calling Sister Ye and Mengzi, let's all go out!GOGOGOGOGOGO!"

。。。。。。

Xiao Peng didn't let Yang Meng drive the boat, but drove the boat himself, after all, he knew the location of the tuna school.

Although there are not many tuna in the fishing ground at present, Xiao Peng still wants to catch one to feel the feeling of tuna fishing------ which is an experience he has never had before.

Yang Meng was sorting out fishing gear on the deck, while Ye Yuli and Fang Ranran were taking various selfies. For them, it's just a sea trip.

Xiao Peng asked Yang Meng to put down the trawl first. Scoop up some mackerel and herring and put them in the live water tank.

"The fish here are so big. Fang Ranran looked at the fish in the living water tank and asked, "Will you eat them tonight?"

Yang Meng shook his head: "These are all bait. Your uncle said that today is only a big fish. ”

"Bait?" Fang Ranran's eyes widened. "Such a big fish as bait, do you want to catch sharks?" Fang Ranran held a mobile phone in his hand, and was about to start shooting videos again.

Yang Meng smiled at Fang Ranran: "Who knows, the rules of the sea, on the boat, the captain must do whatever he says, I feel that it should be fishing for yellowtail amberjack or mahi mahi bonito or something like that." Yang Meng finished speaking. Scoop out a few fish, cut them into pieces and put them in a bucket for later use.

Xiao Peng slowed down the boat: "That's it." Down the rod, cast the bait. ”

"Okay!" Yang Meng threw all the fishing rods into the sea and inserted them into the rod jack on the side of the boat. At the same time, the cut fish is thrown into the sea in a rhythmic manner. The fish are connected in a line in the sea, which can lead the large fish to the hook.

After Yang Meng finished throwing the bait, he ran into the cab and observed the fish finder.

After a while, Yang Meng's voice came from the cab: "Xiao Peng, there are schools of fish coming, it seems that the scale is not small." ”

"Big fish and small fish?" In fact, Xiao Peng already knew. It was the school of mixed bonito that came. At this time, you still have to pretend that you don't know.

"It looks like it's not small, about a meter. There are some big guys in there, such a large group of sharks? Is there any mistake?" Yang Meng's voice came from the cab.

The shark is big, it's obviously bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna, right? Of course, Xiao Peng can only think about it like this, these words can't be said.

At the tail of the Aralei, there were a total of eight fishing rods, and almost instantly, all eight fishing rods were bent at the same time. This is the posture of taking eight fish at the same time.

Tuna is a greedy fish, the king of fish, and has an amazing appetite. Although the taste of bonito is not like that of other brothers, this gluttonous problem is exactly the same. There is a video on the Internet of a group of people sitting on the bow of a boat fishing for tuna, and they catch one in two seconds, and that is the bonito.

Yang Meng and Xiao Peng were in a hurry before they received all eight fish on the boat, the largest of these eight bonito can be one meter long and more than forty catties, and the smallest one is sixty centimeters and more than twenty catties.

Ye Yuli looked at the bonito and smiled: "It's okay now, you can go back and make bonito stock." ”

Fang Ranran said curiously: "This fish is made into soup, isn't the fish delicious?"

Ye Yuli smiled at the other party and said: "This is bonito, it is best to eat dried fish, but the taste of fish is a little worse, even the country of Wa loves to eat sashimi so much, and you don't eat raw bonito, and you have to make sashimi half-cooked." However, when it is made into dried bonito soup, it tastes great. Wait until I go back and make you dried bonito. Dried bonito is known as the toughest food in the world and is used to make soups. ”

Xiao Peng is in the category, there are too many bonito in the sea. Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Mengzi, continue to cast bait, this time the hook will be changed to live bait." "Live bait is to put live fish directly on the hook, and the live fish will suffer and struggle badly, so that it can attract big fish to take the bait.

Yang Meng hung live bait on the fishing rod. Cast into the sea. Xiao Peng contacted Goudan and asked him to drive away the bonito.

This live dog can be willing to do it, take the rest of the sharks, and stir up the school of bonito. Bonito is one of the favorite foods of the por shark.

Yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna, on the other hand, are much calmer. Large tuna have a very mixed diet and sometimes even attack their own species and small sharks. In the face of a porbine shark of similar physique, there is still a strength to fight.

Therefore, in the face of the school of porbus sharks, although the yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna also fled with the school of bonito, they did not forget to hunt while fleeing. A yellowfin tuna was hooked like this.

"What the hell is this?" roared Yang. The hooked rod instantly turns into a bow shape. Even the Aralei was dragged away.

Xiao Peng was very calm, grabbed the fishing rod and stabilized the fishing reel, "Mengzi, put away the other rods, don't get entangled!"

After hearing this, Yang Meng nodded, and hurriedly received the rest of the fishing rods on the boat.

"Help me steer the wheel!" There are two rudders on the Aralei, one in the cockpit and the other in the stern, which is convenient for adjusting the direction when catching a big fish and reducing the probability of the fish getting off the hook.

"Left rudder second gear, forward, keep this speed, stop! reverse gear, speed faster!" Xiao Peng commanded Yang Meng while closing the line.

Yang Meng's reaction was also fast, and the two cooperated very tacitly.

Although Xiao Peng's strength has improved a lot. But when I caught this yellowfin tuna, I realized that I was underestimating the hero of the world.

The yellowfin tuna caught by Xiao Peng can be two and a half meters long and more than 300 catties. The power in the sea is really not to be underestimated, you think about it, the Aralei can be dragged away, what kind of power is this?

Xiao Peng and Yang Meng cooperated, and it took more than half an hour to drag the yellowfin tuna to the side of the boat. At this time, the tuna struggled even more.

"Are there any harpoons?" Xiao Peng asked Yang Meng. If this Nima doesn't drag it up and let it run, it will be embarrassing!

Yang Meng shook his head: "There are really no harpoons on this ship. ”

Because tuna is powerful. When towing a tuna to the side of the boat, the best way is to stick a harpoon directly into the fish to make it incapacitated, then tie his tail and drag it to the boat with a crane or winch. Now without a harpoon, it would be embarrassing. You can't jump into the sea and carry it onto the boat, can you?

At this moment, Xiao Peng suddenly remembered, wasn't there a Japanese knife in the cabin?

Use that thing as a harpoon, well, it's going to be handy!
