The fleet continued to sail to the open sea, and Wei Hang finally remembered his old job, and began to cast nets to fish, and he was not picky about what kind of fish he was.

In fact, according to the current salvage situation of Weihang, if you don't encounter some valuable fish, you will lose money. As it is now, the operation of fishing boats, the operation of various equipment on board, and the various electricity meters are running as fast as flying, and the energy consumption is not ordinary.

This is one of the reasons for the recession of the distant-water fishing industry, and the energy consumption of domestic distant-water fishing vessels occupies a large part of the production cost, so that many people cannot afford it.

There are only some tuna purse seine fishing boats, squid fishing boats and other professional distant-water fishing vessels, they have fixed operating objectives and operating locations, and they carry out fishing in a planned and targeted manner, so that the harvest is a little better, and many people are developing in this direction.

However, the scientific and technological content of such distant-water fishing vessels is relatively high, especially the tuna purse seine fishing boats, which are the most technical and efficient among the existing fishing vessels.

However, our country does not have the ability to independently develop these ships, and the performance of imitation is relatively poor, and most of the existing ships are imported from abroad, and they are some obsolete or second-hand old ships.

In China, so far, only Shanghai Chuanghuang Marine Resources Co., Ltd. has built two 75-meter tuna purse seine boats in Dalian Fishing Vessel Company, which was built with the support of the state in many aspects.

Compared with similar foreign fishing vessels, China's distant-water fishing vessels have problems such as high fuel consumption, insufficient refrigeration and quick-freezing capacity, poor endurance, and poor navigation and fish exploration equipment. Many fishing vessels are not designed to meet the standards and requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), nor can they meet the EU standards for sanitary inspection of aquatic products, and are facing the fate of being eliminated.

Take Weihang, a fishing boat that is quite advanced in China, as an example, in foreign countries, a fishing boat of nearly 10,000 tons only needs a crew of 20 or 30 people, and his 1,000-ton fishing boat also needs dozens of talents to operate. Combined with the turnover and other functions, there are almost 100 people, which shows the gap in automation, not to mention other aspects.

Generally speaking, China's marine fishing vessels are faced with a backward situation of "five more and five less" in which there are many small boats, few large boats, more wooden boats, fewer steel boats, more old ships, fewer new ships, more coastal ships, fewer far-sea vessels, and more input and less output.

It can also be seen how incomplete and unbalanced China's industrial system is. On the one hand, it can go to the sky and the sea and build nuclear weapons, but on the other hand, it cannot allow the fishing industry of a populous country with huge food consumption and a long coastline to rise from other countries.

In the final analysis, China is still a country that has shifted from an agricultural country to an industrial country, and industry is the lifeblood of the country. But now, a large amount of private capital has been transferred to real estate and the stock market, and the manufacturing industry is in a state of twilight. There is a lot of sorrow, and many things that look beautiful are actually just a few jù.

However, none of this is about Wei Hang. It's useless for him to worry about these national affairs. What he wants to do is to be a fisherman, sail away, ride the wind and waves, and sail the seven seas.

As for the cost. He didn't care at all, and the fishing boat didn't need to be too advanced. As long as it's big enough to go far enough, he's fishing, not fighting. Besides, he still has the support of the treasure hunting industry, so he can't lose anything.

"Look, there are a lot of fish! We've met a big school of fish!" Cui Jinghao, who was doing nothing on the deck, suddenly pointed to the sea.

Turning their attention to the sea, they noticed that the surface of the nearby sea had turned bright black, glowing with silver light, and splashed as they swam.

As far as the eye can see, the sea is completely filled with a species of fish, and because it is so dense, some of the upper fish have their heads and backs exposed, making it doubtful that even if they stand on it, they will not fall into the sea.

The fish is about thirty or forty centimeters in size, with a relatively small head, a streamlined body with an elongated and flattened body, a dorsal fin located in the middle of the body, opposite the pelvic fin, a dark blue metallic back, and a silvery-white ventral side.

In particular, the part that leads the way is obviously larger and brightly colored, like parents crossing the ocean with their children.

In the sky, there are also some seabirds circling and chirping, ready to feast on a feast. Although this school of fish is not as large as the last school of sardines encountered, it is still a rare sight.

Those who had never seen such a scene ran to the deck to stop and watch, and there was a lot of discussion.

"What kind of fish is this?" Xiao Wu looked at it and didn't know it, so he asked everyone.

Others really wanted to beat him up, and he usually read books for an indecent time, but now he knows to ask non-stop.

"This is a herring, you kid will read me ten pages tonight, or don't want to sleep. Tian Zhongchi said with hatred of iron.

"Oh. Xiao Wu suddenly pulled his head listlessly.

"Is this kind of fish expensive?" Wei Hai's first concern was this, he had never seen this kind of fish.

"It used to be cheap, but now it's getting up, but it's not very expensive. It is an export product, and not many people eat it in our country. Wei Hang said.

Therefore, Wang Tao and Gao Yang on the other boat were not interested, this was not the fish their boss needed. But it's a spectacular scene, and it's a good thing to see.

"Then are we going to start work?" Wei Hai's interest suddenly became a little smaller, but in line with the principle of killing mistakes and not letting go, he was still eager to try.

"Of course, they are all ready to start work, and the other ships are also out of the net. Wei Hang said.

Now that there is a place on the boat, how can he let it go? Unlike the sardines he encountered last time, they only have one boat, and they can't hold much, so they don't have any power at all, and they have to keep other precious fish!

In fact, this fish is related to sardines, they both belong to the herring family, and it is also the same as sardines, it has a cluster, often swims in groups, overwhelming, and the scene is very spectacular.

The reason why herring is so dense is the result of long-term external natural environment and the result of adaptation to survival.

The herring is very conducive to their reproduction and effective protection of their larvae, and it is a collective action that allows everyone to work together to facilitate foraging.

In addition, swarms also have a positive effect on defending against predators. Because herring are densely packed in large groups, their fast-swimming lines and flickering shapes dazzle predators, and it is difficult to concentrate on a single fish. Even if the enemy rushes into the school of fish and scatters the dense team. There are also very few fish that are eaten.

Therefore, swarm action has an extremely important significance and role in the life of herring.

Herring is an important economic fish and one of the most abundant fish in the world.

It is also the most abundant fish in the world and has an extremely important place in Europe, both historically and now. It has formed its unique culture.

Even Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Denmark and many other countries have fought wars over herring fisheries.

In the seventeenth century, the "sea coachman" Netherlands, a country with an area of only two and a half Beijing and a population of only 1.5 million, was able to become the hegemon of the sea and the economic center of the world at that time.

Due to changes in ocean currents, large numbers of herring migrate to the coastal areas of the northern Netherlands during the summer months. The Dutch can catch more than 10 million kilograms of herring from the North Sea every year. Not only is it solved for edible, but also a large number of exports.

Many people make a living from it, and the tiny herring provides a livelihood for one in five Dutch people.

The Netherlands has more than 3,000 herring boats operating in the North Sea, and more than 50,000 fishermen go out to sea to catch herring. The Netherlands exports herring from the country. Maritime trade, which soon became a rich country.

At the same time, it has also led to the development of the Dutch shipbuilding industry and other related industries.

So, the rise of an industry. What is needed is sufficient benefits. For example, in China, the development of the fishing industry is so sluggish, and not many people in the private sector want to take the risk of building large fishing boats. Not to mention investing a lot of money to update technology to catch up with the world's leaders, relying on national investment alone will not only achieve half the result, but also be lifeless, and its prospects can be imagined.

However, herring is a natural resource, and the Creator did not give the Dutch exclusive rights. Other peoples living on the shores of the North Sea have organized fleets for herring. There were three wars between the Dutch and the Scots over the fishing grounds.

What is it that makes the Netherlands stand out from the competition? Here's an interesting story.

Legend has it that in a small fishing village in the north of the Netherlands, a fisherman named William Berkelszon invented a way to remove the intestines of a fish with just one knife.

The belly of the herring is cut open, the internal organs are removed, the head is removed, and the salt is placed inside, so that it can be preserved for more than a year. There were no refrigerators at that time, and this method was unique, so that's why Dutch herring was so popular all over Europe, especially in England.

Beginning with fishing, the Netherlands also began to generate trade with South Africa and the Americas.

In this way, a knife of a Dutch fisherman transformed a natural resource that everyone could touch into the exclusive capital of the Netherlands, and achieved the glory of its "sea coachman".

To this day, many Dutch people eat herring in a way that was developed centuries ago, with herring gutted, marinated in cheese and other sauces, and swallowed without any cooking.

"What are you doing? Wei Hang said to Xiao Wu and the newcomers.

On the ship, these tasks are generally handed over to old employees such as Master Huo, or some experienced crew members among the people invited.

Xiao Wu and Tian Yuanbo, the inexperienced crew members, have to do the job of sorting and processing the fish they catch. If you want to drive a boat, if you want to operate a machine, then learn slowly!

Xiao Wu they can only run to the stern, to the boss's words, they dare not disobey, the boss is unhappy, this month's bonus will be less.

"Is it delicious? Wait to get some to eat?" Wei Hai's mind became active again, and now he wanted to taste every fish he caught.

"Whatever you want, there's nothing good about this fish, it's said that it tastes good when canned in Europe, and they also have a festival dedicated to canned herring. Wei Hang said.

"It's delicious, it's more stinky than stinky tofu. Chen Jianliang seemed to remember some unbearable memories and said hatefully.

"Have you eaten it?" Wei Hai asked curiously.

"Last year, my dad's friend sent me some canned herring from Sweden, and I opened one at home, and it almost knocked me out, and there was a lot of juice splashing out, and it made me sick to death. I couldn't get rid of that smell, and I didn't want to go home for days. ”

Chen Jianliang said that when he saw the package sent over, it was like opening one to taste, but he reaped the consequences, and after the old man came back, he also reprimanded him, and asked him to find a way to get rid of the smell, so that he still remembers it vividly.

Looking at Chen Jianliang, who poured bitter water, Wei Hang smiled, canned herring is one of the most smelly delicacies in the world, exuding the smell of rotten eggs and stinky gutters, much more powerful than stinky tofu.

In Sweden, the smell of herring is so hard to dissipate that the government also prohibits canned herring in residential areas!

People usually put the cans in water before opening them, and he doesn't understand the situation and messes around, isn't this self-inflicted?

In addition, the canned food is made by fermentation, and after a long time, the herring in the can becomes sticky and juicy, and the gas in the can also expands due to the fermentation of the herring, making the canned food bulge.

This means that the herring is marinated and ready to be marketed. On the other hand, it also means that the air pressure inside the tank will be higher and higher, and it may even explode!

So, usually, canned herring can only be stored for about eighteen months. I just don't know that he has been putting canned food at home for a few months?

"How long have you been leaving that can, didn't it explode?" Wei Hang teased.

"You think I'm an idiot? I looked up the information later, and of course I knew it was going to explode. No one in the family wanted to eat it, so I gave it to the fourth child. Chen Jianliang laughed later.

"You must not have told him anything, right? He hasn't broken off with you yet?" Wei Hang had a chill, it seems that he will send things to himself in the future, and he should pay attention to it, otherwise he won't know when he will be yin.

"I was about to call him for a long time, but the guy still had a little look in his eyes, and after receiving it, he called me on the spot and scolded me. ”

Chen Jianliang said that he didn't dare to go to Yun Rulong's house to play for a long time, for fear that his uncle and aunt would also know about it.

Wei Hang was speechless, do you want to see if the fourth child will open it on the spot like you? What kind of psychology is this?

Fortunately, he didn't send it to himself, and he saw these things in the first half of the year when he was bored in the unit. (To be continued......)
