Chapter 429: Sardines
"Give me all seriousness, I'm going to start the net soon. Cao Da shouted as he stood on the deck.
The big boss Wei Hang is present, and you are all idle and have nothing to do, which is too unseemly. Wei Hang didn't have any opinions, and he didn't care, and now he had a feeling of enjoying life. There is no need to run around for money, and many things will be very light.
"How much harvest do we have in our warehouse?" Wei Hang asked.
Lai Tianhong immediately reported that he was specifically responsible for managing the cold storage: "It's sixty percent full." However, the quality of this batch of marine fish species is not particularly high. ”
"Well, if we fish in large quantities, the quality of the species will definitely decline. "In the past three or two days, the frequency of casting nets is very high, and many fish are no longer picky, so naturally they are not so good.
This time, I caught three or four bluefin tuna, all of which weighed hundreds of pounds, and they were also the most valuable seafood on board. In addition to this, there are silver pomfret and various groupers. The most numerous are sardines.
The terrifying school of sardines, Wei Hang and the others only caught four or five nets, more than 150,000 catties.
Sardines, known as sardines in Hong Kong, are also known as sardines, anchovies and sharks. The small one is two inches long, the big one is a few feet, the lower jaw is slightly longer than the upper jaw, the teeth are not obvious, the back is pale and the belly is white, the meat is beautiful, and it is mostly used to make canned food. Because there are many of them, they are not very valuable.
This fish is a small, slender silvery fish with a short, single dorsal fin and no lateral line. Densely packed, migrating along the coast, feeding on large amounts of plankton. Spawning mainly in the spring, eggs and juveniles that hatch a few days later drift with the water until they metamorphose into free-swimming fish.
"There are too many sardines. It's a pity, it's not very valuable, otherwise, if you drag a big boat back, everyone will become millionaires. Fang Zhen and his group were very sorry.
At that time, seeing that group of terrifying sardines, many people couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. These sardines are more dense than ants moving.
Gu Haichao smiled: "Sardines are originally dense schools of fish, not to mention that this is a quasi-sardine in the Far East?"
He sued everyone. Far Eastern sardines are the most abundant species of sardines. It is distributed in the coastal waters of Japan and can be divided into four groups, namely the Pacific group, the Sea of Japan group, the foot fold group and the Kyushu group, among which the first two groups are larger.
"Night fishing is horrible. Daniel Zhang remembered the scene the night before, and couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.
Because sardines are attracted to light at night, fishers generally use light purse seine nets, drift gillnets, large pull nets and fixed nets.
Daniel Zhang is a person with intensive disease, and when he saw that scene, he had goosebumps a little. In the past, when I saw those dense sea crabs, I felt a little bit bit, not to mention that there were hundreds of thousands, or even millions of sardines at every turn.
"I can't see it. Lao Zhang, you actually have a slight phobia of intensity. Someone joked.
"What's so strange, many people have a slight phobia of intensity, which groups of people are in the Spring Festival, who doesn't have a numb scalp after watching it?" Wei Hang said a decent word for Lao Zhang.
It is said that the real reason for the fear is that people have an instinctive fear of dense objects. The so-called lotus picture is to use this to scare many people, the picture itself is not disgusting, just a psychological reaction, similar to someone with fear of heights, someone has a phobia of sharp objects, fear of heights, etc.
Sensitive to relatively small objects that are closely arranged. Feeling dizzy, nauseous, scalp tingling. Some people do, some don't. Cheng dù varies from person to person.
Mild cases can be slowly familiar with the method from light to severe, and severe cases will have to see a doctor, which will cause psychological discomfort and mental tension. It is important to have an allergic reaction when you see similar objects around you.
"All sardines are commercial species and can be eaten fresh, dried, salted or smoked. It can also be thickly boiled into fishmeal or fish oil. Wang Tao said.
This kind of fish, they will definitely not want it in the big hotel, it is too low-end.
"The domestic technology is not up to par, and people abroad, sardines are also used to make margarine. Gao Yang smiled.
Indeed, domestic technology is not good, and many times we sell some raw materials to earn some resource capital. A truly shrewd person should be to carry out deep processing of these seafoods, and this is true for everything, only deep processing can tap out its true value and make full use of it.
"Our nets are not the best nets for sardines, and with a spinning net, the harvest will be even more terrifying. Wei Hang said to them.
Spinning nets are the most important fishing devices, and many other repaired spinning nets, such as falling nets or weirs, are also used. A weir is a fixed enclosure made up of piles into which schools of sardines swim along the shore. Fishing is mainly carried out at night, when the fish are floating on the surface of the water to feed on plankton, and after the fish, the fish are immersed in salt water and transported ashore.
"It's just too easy to die. Lai Tianhong interjected.
Those who know the know know it. Sardines are difficult to keep because they are lazy by nature, often crowded together and stationary, and have a high mortality rate, but if you put a catfish in it, the mortality rate will be much lower.
There is a folklore in the West that the sardines caught by fishermen are often difficult to return to port alive. Suddenly, a boat of sardines was found to have returned alive. It turned out that the secret was that there was a catfish inside, and its existence made the sardines panic and rush left and right, but they all saved their lives.
"Nothing to great use. It's a pity!"
"You can't say that, don't underestimate any living thing, it's reasonable to save zài, not to mention such a huge population?" Wei Hang shook his head.
His words won Gu Haichao's approval, and he nodded: "You don't know, sardines are the saviors who clear the phytoplankton death zone. ”
Previously, researchers reported that starving schools of sardines would remove phytoplankton from Namibian waters, thereby reducing the production of toxic gases in the region. And this phenomenon will also have far-reaching implications for mitigating global warming.
Some scientists assert that sardines will profoundly alter the entire marine ecosystem. And these effects are difficult or even impossible for humanity to undo.
"Actually, if you can, it's also a good choice to raise a group of sardines. Gu Haichao finally teased.
He himself had seen more than ten of them in an aquarium, and they swam quickly in groups, which was quite spectacular. Moreover, under different lights or in the dark, they also change color, blue, green, purple, and they are colorful and colorful.
"It's nice to bring it home alive, and there are people who like to raise sardines. Wei Hang said.
He heard the boss say that in the provincial capital, a sardine about 16 centimeters long is sold for 60 yuan. Get 100,000 back, that's 60 million. (To be continued......)
